...supported the outlawing of abortion and expelled a congregation that ordained a gay deacon. Nevertheless, it thinks nothing of ignoring SBC edicts. When the SBC demanded wifely subservience, the Texans simply took their own vote and let the women stand tall. And the Texans' patience seems to be wearing thin. Speaking of his organization's $40 million contribution to the national convention last year (roughly a quarter of the SBC budget), David Currie, leader of the Texas group's moderate majority, growled, "That will change...
...will it feel like football? The average heartland football diehard doesn't really go for the thin-and-neat turtlenecked wisecracking type, with jokes they don't really get and don't really care to.

NANOTUBES Carbon molecules form a hexagonal mesh that curls into a cylinder like a tube of chicken wire. About 100 times as strong as steel and 50,000 times as thin as a human hair, they can serve as the structure of a nanobot. Acting as semiconductors, nanotubes are also ideal for building a nanobot's tiny microprocessor brain...
