Eh muito bom e fala um pouco daquilo que voces estao a discutir, mas sob um ponto de vista genetico. Eh um livro com algumas partes de leitura mais dificil (ainda para mais eu tenho-o em ingles) e algumas partes mais enfadonhas quando entra a matematica e as fraccoes para ajudar a explicar as teorias, mas para quem nao estava muito por dentro do mundo dos genes como eu eh um autentico abre olhos.

Foi um bom take, espero que nao te tenhas magoado...

Yoda e Aerogel já leram este livro? Se ainda não leram, recomendo! Richard Dawkins’ brilliant reformulation of the theory of natural selection has the rare distinction of having provoked as much excitement and interest outside the scientific community as within it. His theories have helped change the whole nature of the study of social biology, and have forced thousands of readers to rethink their beliefs about life. In his internationally bestselling, now classic volume, The Selfish Gene, Dawkins explains how the selfish gene can also be a subtle gene. The world of the selfish gene revolves around savage competition, ruthless exploitation, and deceit, and yet, Dawkins argues, acts of apparent altruism do exist in nature. Bees, for example, will commit suicide when they sting to protect the hive, and birds will risk their lives to warn the flock of an approaching hawk. This 30th anniversary edition of Dawkins’ fascinating book retains all original material, including the two enlightening chapters added in the second edition. In a new Introduction the author presents his thoughts thirty years after the publication of his first and most famous book, while the inclusion of the two-page original Foreword by brilliant American scientist Robert Trivers shows the enthusiastic reaction of the scientific community at that time. This edition is a celebration of a remarkable exposition of evolutionary thought, a work that has been widely hailed for its stylistic brilliance and deep scientific insights, and that continues to stimulate whole new areas of research today. Richard Dawkins is the Charles Simonyi Professor of the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University, a Fellow of the Royal Society and of the Royal Society of Literature, and an international lecturer. His acclaimed books include The Extended Phenotype, a more technical sequel to The Selfish Gene, and The Blind Watchmaker, which won the Royal Society of Literature Award and the Los Angeles Times Prize, both in 1987. His other bestsellers include River out of Eden (you can order the lecture video through this store), Climbing Mount Improbable, Unweaving the Rainbow, and the A Devil’s Chaplain. His most recent book is The God Delusion. Professor Dawkins is the recipient of many prizes and honors, including the Shakespeare Prize, the Silver Medal of the Zoological Society of London, the Royal Society’s Michael Faraday Award, the Nakayama Prize for Achievement in Human Science, The International Cosmos Prize, and the Kistler Prize.

Será que o Luigi e o Asura se vão encontrar na festa em Pandora?

Apenas para os aficionados!

Psiconauta, como se diz na giria agora da-lhe brita!

Nao acredito nisso, que tristes. Enfim... assim se mostra o nivel de certas pessoas.

Ja so estas a meter nojo Kinder. Tomara eu aos 40 ter a vida do Paulinho, ainda vou nos 30 e esta merda das 9 as 5 ja me esta a matar... Conheco varias pessoas na mesma situacao que ele, e nao tem nada a ver nem com idade nem com heranca. Quem me dera a mim...

Ok, agora sem o copo de vinho na boca!

General Kinder, quais as horas aceitaveis a que os users devem andar pelo forum?

Muito bom! Essa do Arsox não estava à espera, brutal!

ahahaha it only gets better! Tens uns passos engracados Kinder!

Venha mas é esse episódio, já passa das 22.00! :protest:

Hoffman.pt, porquê dois 3os lugares?

Sigaaaaa!

Podes crer!

Vou experimentar hoje. Amanhã acho que já consigo estar na mesma frequência que vocês Charade, olha-me la a frequencia deste triste: Nobel Prize genius Crick was high on LSD when he discovered the secret of life BY ALUN REES picture of James Watson and Francis Crick Francis Crick, the Nobel Prize-winning father of modern genetics, was under the influence of LSD when he first deduced the double-helix structure of DNA nearly 50 years ago. The abrasive and unorthodox Crick and his brilliant American co-researcher James Watson famously celebrated their eureka moment in March 1953 by running from the now legendary Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge to the nearby Eagle pub, where they announced over pints of bitter that they had discovered the secret of life. Crick, who died ten days ago, aged 88, later told a fellow scientist that he often used small doses of LSD then an experimental drug used in psychotherapy to boost his powers of thought. He said it was LSD, not the Eagle's warm beer, that helped him to unravel the structure of DNA, the discovery that won him the Nobel Prize. Despite his Establishment image, Crick was a devotee of novelist Aldous Huxley, whose accounts of his experiments with LSD and another hallucinogen, mescaline, in the short stories The Doors Of Perception and Heaven And Hell became cult texts for the hippies of the Sixties and Seventies. In the late Sixties, Crick was a founder member of Soma, a legalise-cannabis group named after the drug in Huxley's novel Brave New World. He even put his name to a famous letter to The Times in 1967 calling for a reform in the drugs laws. It was through his membership of Soma that Crick inadvertently became the inspiration for the biggest LSD manufacturing conspiracy-the world has ever seen the multimillion-pound drug factory in a remote farmhouse in Wales that was smashed by the Operation Julie raids of the late Seventies. Crick's involvement with the gang was fleeting but crucial. The revered scientist had been invited to the Cambridge home of freewheeling American writer David Solomon a friend of hippie LSD guru Timothy Leary who had come to Britain in 1967 on a quest to discover a method for manufacturing pure THC, the active ingredient of cannabis. It was Crick's presence in Solomon's social circle that attracted a brilliant young biochemist, Richard Kemp, who soon became a convert to the attractions of both cannabis and LSD. Kemp was recruited to the THC project in 1968, but soon afterwards devised the world's first foolproof method of producing cheap, pure LSD. Solomon and Kemp went into business, manufacturing acid in a succession of rented houses before setting up their laboratory in a cottage on a hillside near Tregaron, Carmarthenshire, in 1973. It is estimated that Kemp manufactured drugs worth Pounds 2.5 million an astonishing amount in the Seventies before police stormed the building in 1977 and seized enough pure LSD and its constituent chemicals to make two million LSD 'tabs'. The arrest and conviction of Solomon, Kemp and a string of co-conspirators dominated the headlines for months. I was covering the case as a reporter at the time and it was then that I met Kemp's close friend, Garrod Harker, whose home had been raided by police but who had not been arrest ed. Harker told me that Kemp and his girlfriend Christine Bott by then in jail were hippie idealists who were completely uninterested in the money they were making. They gave away thousands to pet causes such as the Glastonbury pop festival and the drugs charity Release. 'They have a philosophy,' Harker told me at the time. 'They believe industrial society will collapse when the oil runs out and that the answer is to change people's mindsets using acid. They believe LSD can help people to see that a return to a natural society based on self-sufficiency is the only way to save themselves. 'Dick Kemp told me he met Francis Crick at Cambridge. Crick had told him that some Cambridge academics used LSD in tiny amounts as a thinking tool, to liberate them from preconceptions and let their genius wander freely to new ideas. Crick told him he had perceived the double-helix shape while on LSD. 'It was clear that Dick Kemp was highly impressed and probably bowled over by what Crick had told him. He told me that if a man like Crick, who had gone to the heart of human existence, had used LSD, then it was worth using. Crick was certainly Dick Kemp's inspiration.' Shortly afterwards I visited Crick at his home, Golden Helix, in Cambridge. He listened with rapt, amused attention to what I told him about the role of LSD in his Nobel Prize-winning discovery. He gave no intimation of surprise. When I had finished, he said: 'Print a word of it and I'll sue.' http://www.hallucinogens.com/lsd/francis-crick.html Meu rico cerebro!

:lol:

Eh factual, esta serie nao desilude! Vou rever com mais atencao mal chegue a casa, ja comeco a sentir o mesmo que sinto com o Lost, detesto ter de esperar pelo proximo episodio!

És tu, Mr King? Hoje...elefante branco ou passerelle? O sporting paga... Hoje já tenho planos, primeiro é uma fruta, depois é uma viagem abreu até ao Brasil com o meu guarda preferido, depois vou fazer uns telefonemas para escolher um árbitro que amanhã tenho jogo, e depois vou fazer um discurso contra o poder de Lisboa que os adeptos do meu clube papam todos os grupos que eu digo. Agora imagina no meio de uma agenda tão preenchida, arranjar tempo para construir equipas de nível mundial, arrasar a concorrência em Portugal e ainda conquistar alguns títulos internacionais. E pelo meio ainda manda abaixo 2 ou 3 brasileiras com menos 30 anos que ele. Depois ficam indignados que um gajo admire o Presidente! Provavelmente ja nao te lembras, mas o Faguntes ja foi uma vez entrevistado para a tv: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jL4wCnv3_c&feature=player_embedded

Por acaso reparei no gajo vestido de urso, tambem ja tinha feito um teste do genero e sabia que ia aparecer alguma coisa la pelo meio. Nunca atropelei nenhum ciclista!

Sem tirar nem pôr!
