Yeah, I know, but try convincing a CT of that. I mean, my grandfather was a Mason, yes--but he was also a Rotarian and a Lion, and how come no one ever suspects them of trying to take over the world?

Because it's easy for a Mason to sneak up behind you and hit you with a brick. It would be much harder to sneak up and hit you with a Lion

Yeah, but a lion has bigger teeth.

Perhaps not, as JayUtah mentioned, the illuminati have distanced themselves from the Freemasons. Probably has something to do with their inherient inability to light BBQ pits. The Illuminati have bigger fish to fry, Saturn for instance. If it were up to me, I would try to light up Jupiter instead. It's bigger, and your chance of success would be improved. You would have a better chance of storing ice in a hot pizza oven than causing any of the gas giants to ignite into stars, but that doesn't make for good press coverage.

It has been my experience that CT's don't care if something is impossible, implausable, or completely stupid, if they can get face time in some forum, and get a few to follow, it's all good.

I've heard of them. They've got a vicious streak a mile wide...

Are you sure that's not the Trojan Rabbit? Or is it the killer rabbit defending the cave, said killer rabbit, being the fierce and noble beast that he is, only finally defeated by the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch?

But that's the beauty of it, while everyone is focused on the Masons, the Lions can and have taken over the world. Don't believe me? Walk outside your town and see if their crest is placed on your town sign.How many politicians, jugdes, policemen, generals, and astronauts are Lions? See you don't know, they don't tell anyone, they just sneak into those positions covertly. It's a conspiracy I tell you!

It's funny to think about an uncontained fusion reaction in the upper reaches of a planet whose mean density (0.70 g/cm³) is such that, if there were an ocean large enough for it be dropped into, it would float.

Next they'll be telling us that if the Hindenburg had used RTGs, it would have gone critical and vaporized New Jersey...

Now I'm no expert on terra-forming but i would think(if its even possible), that terra-forming an entire moon to a point where ppl could live on it would take a lot longer then 25 years..................hell it would take longer just to GET to titan.

I'm not one either but I agree, the total lack of oxygen and large quantities of free methane (you will need to add enough oxygen to burn it off before you can get a breathable atmosphere), the lack of a solid crust (according to this month's Scientific American it has an ice crust over a water-ammonia mantel with a ice layer then finally the rocky core several hundred kilometers below the surface), and small size meaning low gravity, all make Titan a decidedly poor terraforming candidate, particularly if you have just 25 years.
Not necessarily, if they can put together a working Orion Drive (aka Nuclear Pulse Propulsion, not related to NASA's planned moon missions) then getting to Titan quickly is easy.

Nahhhh... Any visitor from another planet, observing activities in one of our larger cities would have no doubt that dogs are the dominant species. After all, when you see members of two species walking together, it's pretty clear that the submissive one is the one picking up the feces of the other...

No, it's the Mice. Ask Benjy.
