That should all be wrapped inside #content which should only occupy 60% width from the left. I'd be curious to see what you see, could you forward a screenshot? Also, is this evident on index.php or just the single-article view? Thanks, Jonathan. Hmm. That should all be wrapped inside #content which should only occupy 60% width from the left.

"In other words, match the number below to the number you have written below your underlined routing number," so how do you match the number below with the number written below? wouldnt that be matching the number with itself? i know it would help me a lot if you would show your work. thank you for being patient with an idiot :) i guess i am dumb, but you completely lost me

I don't think his genius drove him insane, I think an intolerant society that arrested him for being an unapologetic homosexual and forced him to take female hormone therapy drove him insane. By all accounts, he was pretty well-adjusted aside from that. Based on your interests above, I would suggest the following documentaries to add to your watch list: <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0814075/" rel="nofollow">Deliver Us From Evil</a> - The harrowing confessions of a pedophile priest. Haunting. <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109410/" rel="nofollow">Chicken Hawk: Men Who Love Boys</a> - Title says it all. It's about NAMBLA and its members. <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0398191/" rel="nofollow">Maybe Logic: The Lives and Ideas of Robert Anton Wilson</a> - Quantum physics, psychedelic prophecy, magick, conspiracy theory and extreme skepticism. There is also another film called <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0907842/" rel="nofollow">The Bridge</a>, a cheapo indie about Scientology, based on true stories of people involved with the church. It's pretty good if you are totally fascinated with Scientology, as I am. I really loved The Elegant Universe. I've read both of Brian Greene's books, upon which the NOVA docs were based, and I'd recommend those as well. The only problem with string theory, though, is that it is a blind alley: all theory and no practice. The theory does not have hypotheses that can be tested, and thus is in the realm of imaginary mathematics, rather than real ontology. If you are interested in learning more practical/pragmatic information about reality and its structure, I would recommend the works of Prigogine, and on the more philosophical end, the work of Bohm and DeLanda. You should have a look through my documentaries at some point. My entire library is available for loan. Re: Alan Turing.
