0 =/= 2Things to put on your list for New Year's Resolutions:
1. Christmas Spirit
2. Math
Meant to put -3 for that last one. My math was: 5 stars - 1 + 1 - 3 = 2 stars.

A would be Atlantis right??
True, but, unfortunately, a lot of "news" and "science" websites like to drop biblical names in order to create controversy and site traffic. Which is lamentable, because there's a lot of interesting history that gets painted over in the rush to name-drop something that people will immediately recognize.

I have seen that. In this instance I find little fault. I think it would have been preferable if they had mentioned specific instances of extra biblical deluge stories. Specifically if they can mention one that is not the epic of Gilgamesh which is about the only other one the general public may be aware. But you know Yahoo news. can only get so much info from them.

On the other hand, I finally watched Inception last night. What a cool movie! I really enjoyed it - kick ass story, good acting, some really cool special effects. I might just have to buy this one on Blu Ray.
I still need to see that one.
We're going to see Voyage of the Dawn Treader this afternoon.

Is that the one with LeoNerdo DiCrapio in it?
Cause I don't much care for him. :P

Yes it is. But, you know, for the longest time, I didn't care much for Dicaprio either. However, after having watched his performance in Shutter Island, and then going back and watching Gangs of New York, I've grown to appreciate his abilities as an actor. He really is very good. One of these days, I'll also have to check out The Departed - heard that one was really excellent as well.
