You mean after we're dead, Rich? I doubt that it will do us much good then! Besides, the "other discussions" forum was designed, surely, to give us a break from folks asking how many nymphs will hatch from their Chinese ooth. You don't have to play if you don't want to, but let us have our fun!

My goodness John, Scott and Henry didn't leave much for me, did they? :) Still, I'll do what i can. Let's be clear on your question. If you are asking us if we can prove that the bible contains false statements, then that is easy enough. Can we use the edition of the bible with the King James...

I kinda doubt that you know what diapause is. NO ooth in the cold of a fridge or outside is in diapause. If your mantids are from the US, they need the cold period. Even the ooths of US mantids will hatch at room temperature, so the answer is a definite yes to the first question and a...

Cold does not cause diapause in any mantis ootheca. I wrote a long blurb on this four weeks ago. You didn't read it, did you? And so we get the same questions over and over again. Still, you are only twelve so I'll cut you some slack. Go here...

O.K. This is becoming pretty confused and was not improved by my wrongly saying "tropical" instead of "subtropical", though to tell the truth, it's easy to think that you are in the tropics in parts of SE Asia. O.K., let's straighten this out. The two Tenodera species, T. sinensis and T...

I enjoyed your rant so much, Henry, that i'm happy to overlook the fact that i never said when it started, for good reason. Love that wobble, but I see the genre defined by that drum note followed by a pause --usually -- and then a base note that was sometimes an octave or more lower, or, as we...

I agree with you that any exotic mantis escaping now anywhere in the US except for the southern states (and probably even there)would die of cold or starvation. Successful introductions have all taken place, however, during the summer so that the offspring can overwinter as ooths. Remember...

There are about 21 species of mantis native to the US, plus about four adventitious species like the Chinese mantis. I agree that ghosts are a good choice as a first exotic mantis, though.

Good News! As you probably heard, the Nobel prize committee recently offered a prize for the thread of over 150 posts in any mantis forum that caused the most chuckles. Hibiscusmile's thread won by 1527 ICUs (international chuckle units). Congratulations Rebecca! :)

I never thought that i would have the pleasure of seeing two of the more prominent correspondents on this forum debating the merits of covenantalism and dispentationalism. The following dialogue just about summarizes my own views on the debate and the attitude of Christians towards each other...

If you were a government agency that wanted to avoid exotic mantids being released so that they wouldn't become invasive like so many other plants and animals have in the US, what would you do: Ban their being kept by everyone except licensed professionals who must take special precautions like...

Ouch , what a lot of confusion. The following are not my opinions, they are facts. Wayne Wehling is the APHIS USDA entomologist who oversees the issuing of interstate transportation permits.His phone # and Email addy are available on line.The letter that Ryan's cousin received is a standard...

B is for Beethoven B is for Beatbox

Albert Chang. I see that in your original post you blanked out your adress, which is quite apropriate if you value yr privacy highly.. You left the sender's adress open for everyone to see, however. I suggest that you remove the pic and treat the sender with the same respect that you show...

http://www.christian-apologetics-resources-and-education.com/Purpose-of-Man.html Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness"...So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Genesis 1:26a, 27 "Did God create to have...

Sensible quuestions. The "packaging issue" is premised on the fact that, like other Polish dealers who sell here, Frey uses bubble envelopes so that she does not have to perjure herself by making out a false declaration on a Custom form. Any package from Frey that doesn't get to me costs her...

Technical problem! ["quote count"]

Sleep deprived or not, Henry, that sounds like a very persuasive manifesto. As for your statement that I don't believe in anything that is not tangible and quantifiable, I think that that is pretty accurate, though I have a fairly well developed aesthetic sense, so I can enjoy music (Sunny and i...

Like all the rest, this is truly great and a welc ome break frm our more philosophical discussions. One minor quibble, though, That isn't a frying pan that she has the flies in; surely it's a saute pan? :D

You'll find the Kybalion pretty straightforward and quite modern; I think that was first published only about a hundred years ago. What often puzzles me about folks who look for "answers" in ancient mystical texts from distant lands like Israel or Tibet, is how they understand the context of...
