    How would they?

    If I have accidentally said something witty, smart, or correct, it is purely by mistake and I apologize for it.

        See, these guys damage the reputation of competent scientists, in the same way that CSS damages the reputation of Libertarians. Are we all going to die? Sure, eventually. Is it going to happen in the next hundred years? Probably not.

        Yeah. Christian constantly criticises me for taking an extreme position, not that I always do, but I like ot go for the jugular, stating that GW itself does not. And yet here is a classic example of exactly the kind of extremist crap spouted by people ad nauseum in the name of GW. Even scientists do this too.

            Yeah, there are nuts on either side... But to be fair... This guy is 95 years old. It's possible that he's not all there anymore... And the other guy they mentioned, Lovelock, is best known for his "Gaia hypothesis", which isn't widely accepted.

                  I don't know if you are being deliberately obtuse or not. If everyone is dead, no one can collect the bet...

                        You're betting on the extinction of the human race. If you're right, the human race is still around in 100 years. If you're wrong, humanity is extinct, and willing the prize to his descendants is pointless. You need some caffeine, man...

                            WE humans are about to be wiped out in a few decades. The grandchildren of many of us will not live to old age. Hear it from Frank Fenner, emeritus professor of microbiology at the Australian National University and the man who helped eradicate smallpox. "Homo sapiens will become extinct, perhaps within 100 years," he told The Australian this week. [^] Which apparently fell on deaf ears so accustomed are we to hearing doommongers like this ranting away. As a scpetic to any one here who agrees, I'll take a $100 on this guy being wrong. Any takers?

                              He completely ruined my joke by not getting the implications of his bet. It's like if a Dodo had made this bet with other Dodos. No one would have collected...

                                  Dances with Smurfs? Nah, I refuse to see that movie... I boycotted it because of excess advertising... Literally four Avatar commercials back-to-back... The movie, then the video game, then some sponsorship deal (I think it was Macdonalds), then the movie again.

                                      That's an impressive amount of overkill. Yeesh. It was gorgeous though. substance = popcorn flick visuals = awesome. I wasn't expecting a movie that made me reach nirvana or anything, so it didn't let me down.

                                          It might be true, the powermad eugenicists will do their best to make sure of it.

                                          And what's wrong with eugenicists? They're just trying to make humans genetically better, is that such a bad thing?
