My go at this: 1. Elvis Prestly vs. The Beetles ---- Beetles. Elvis is corny and doesn't withstand the test of time. 2. Sigmund Frued vs. Dr. Phil ----- Freud. All I know about Dr. Phil is that he's a waste of time. Freud's not a total waste. 3. Batman vs. Spiderman ------- Batman. He's the only worthwhile super-hero who is an actual person just being bad@ss, not reliant on super powers or mutations. 4. Beatles v Stones - - - We already did Beetles in #1, but I have to go with Stones: they made more songs I like 5. Madona v Diana Ross - Madonna. She's just always been hot and awesome, though I listen to neither of them 6. MS v Apple --- Linux. If I HAD to choose then Mac, because Windows is just awful 7. Catwoman v batwoman - ---- Catwoman is hotter, so her, but both are pretty useless 8. Duh Puk v the rest of the world ----- I don't know puk and I don't know the rest of the world, so I'll decide later =) 9. BrainDen v NE ridlemediddlme.com ---- BD any day of the week 10. Star Wars v Star Trek - Wars for me, but Jar Jar is pushing me toward the center of these 2 11. Football v Football - Soccer is sweet, but I love the NFL 12. South Park v Family Guy - Both are funny, but South Park is waaaay better 13. Mario v Zelda - hmm... Mario, but wow this is the closest one here for me.

The point of the discussion is conditioning. Not forcing. Skinner would say we are conditioned to walk on paths that are already made in this case. I don't buy much of what Skinner thought though. Take explorers for example.

the numbers look like triangles in which the bottom 2 points add up to the top point. i.e. 72+27=99, everything works except the last 7 should be an 8

I assumed the 7 is a typo because 15 fits with every other number... hmm

Woah, scary. I'll stop there though. There are very good religious debates in the Others section here and here if you're interested in checking those out.

The one unquestionable fact happened suddenly because something desired to act intelligently. He...(It)...fainted, despairing. "Why in the bathroom did an umbrella startle me?" Naturally, there must have been somebody hiding behind my toilet. That explains more; odors discombobulated my heat-sink, and freak-dancing showed just what the Martians sprinkled all over the seat. Embarking on an idealistic adventure was advantageous to disenfranchised citizens lavishing praise from inebriated folks. Australian counterparts were alarmed at the vibrant chinchilla hovering over my mother's gnocchi, which sparkled like an awesome blossoming avocado of which fantastic tentacles suddenly started erupting into chuckles, "Why had my inane pig vanished?" Suddenly, Godzilla kneeled up laughing hysterically as if King Ghidorah profusely liked cabbage. "Oh Saint Patrick, obliterate Incan disco fever tonight. Funky frogs away!" Fragmented personalities discomboomerate everything unthinkable that wishes unto broken shards of pizza topping! Cheese creamed paczkis stuffed with sploosh. Ubiquitous

I've studied a lot of psych so I'd be happy to have a discussion about certain topics, but what are trying to get at with this Skinner example? That we are conditioned to walk on paths that are laid out for us? I have actually conditioned myself to do the opposite - I'm not joking. If there's a path through a field on my way to a class for example, I purposely walk over the grass. I also love j-walking. It's fun on a college campus or in a regular town or city. In New York, no one cares though, and will easily just run you over, so I was forced to start using crosswalks there =)

What if you want to do evil on Thursday?

Very very close with #4. The overall theme is still not quite shaping up though. Nice try though.

my money is on post #12

It's good, just too easy I think That or it just jumped out at me like a rattler

I like this one lolz. Can they be kegs for this one?

awwww. single tear

The OP says no dividers...

Frazzler and Bociniki went down fighting - props to them. I'm curious to play the next battle with different and/or more rules.
