I wasn't trying to criticize anybody's spelling, I just didn't understand.

Dang it!  I finally get around to updating my links page to include Opus Pocus and you go and change servers! :) Still a great site, though.

The component hadronic particles of light travel at 1,079,891,657 kilometers per hour through vacuum.  This is a physical constant.  The Hubble Space Telescope has observed quasi-stellar objects 132,547,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kilometers away, establishing that they have existed for approximately 14,000,000,000 years.  This shows that the Universe is much more ancient than the Creationists claim.  If everything had been created 6,000 years ago, the light from other galaxies and most of our own would not have reached Earth yet, and everything beyond a small sphere of the Perseid Arm would be invisible to any telescope.

The fact that certain clusters of galaxies are moving away from other clusters of galaxies was established in the early 1990s by the Infra-Red Astronomical Satellite.  It is not known for sure that they have all been moving uniformly from a single point, however.

It is a fact that the Universe is expanding.  It has also been established to be at least 14,000,000,000 years old.  True, the Big Bang is a theory, but parts of it have been proven.

I suppose Luigi.  I identified best with him when I was watching the cartoon series.  I always used to be Luigi since I rarely got the privelege of first player.

Hinopio-If you believe in the literal truth of the whole Bible, does that mean you reject evolution, Copernican astronomy, and all the other stuff that contradicts Genesis?

After you started posting the "Star Wars" line I ended each of my posts with a famous quote from a sci-fi movie until I gave up.

I listed those things because they're the subjects of much debate among "Mario" fans.

NESters like us will fill in the holes the creators left but no answer is really true until it shows up in an actual release, and 90% of the time the people at Nintendo hadn't thought about it.  They're concerned with making games, not a comprehensive and consistent universe.

Yoshi resembles a dinosaur and frog and gecko but really isn't any.  The Yoshis live in a paralell universe isolated from our own and are thus of a completely separate genetic lineage from any life on Earth.  Any resemblance to animals living in our world is simple convergent evolution.  : )

Okay, I don't remember the details and I won't exactly sound like David Attenborough here but I read this thing about this kind of, like, geckos that are all part male and part female.  Some are more male than female, and some are more female than male.

I was just thinking maybe Yoshis are like that.  I mean, Yoshi (THE Yoshi) is supposed to be a guy but he lays eggs.

Nintendo has probably never thought of this 'cause the fans are more concerned with that sort of arcana (like what Yoshi is and where the Koopa Kids came from and why Princess Toadstool isn't a mushroom person) than the people responsible for the games and shows.

Mario Chat / Re: Got any ideas of Super Mario Cubed?

« on: May 12, 2001, 05:17:58 PM »

One day I actually compiled the qualities that made the great "Mario" games great.  I made it into a list of things that should be in the next adventure game in the "Mario" series.  If I ever had the time I'd put it on my site.  Anyway, if you want to know what I think "Super Mario Cubed" should be like look under "The next 'Mario' game."  Most Nintendo fans seem to agree with me on a lot of points.

It seems "Super Mario Cubed" is just around the corner, now.  Let's hope (okay I will) they give us a game with all this stuff!
