Edinburgh to London bike ride
I'm seriously considering going on a bike ride. I'm a 48 year-old who does little exercise, but this is for a good cause. Children of Gaza. If I go for it, could I count on the support of my webDip family?

Simulate f2f games
I think it would be really cool to come up with a way players could talk to each other and have private negotiations during live games. This would go much faster than typing and be a lot more fun. I will post a description of how this could be achieved in the comments.

On A Pale Horse. It has been a long time since I read that one. I have no idea the name though.
Jeff that would be like seeing Ireland from London.

CA has the book right. It was a great read, and I would recommend it to just about anyone. I seriously hope someone here can figure out his name.
I read th first book in 1983 when it came out. I never read any of the others though. I'll probably go back and do so. Didn't realize there were eight of them.
TrPrado (461 D)
22 Jan 15 UTC
They aren't quite as good as On a Pale Horse. For Love of Evil was probably around second in competing for my personal favorite. My dad thought Bearing an Hourglass was somewhat confusing for him, so he decided to put it down.

Yeah, I had heard that Chronos lives backwards?

Anyway now that I've looked into it and nobody else is stepping up.

Zane was the protagonist.
TrPrado (461 D)

Bingo. And yeah, Chronos is complicated. That's pretty much the root of my dad not having a fun time with that book. I thought it was pretty good, though. Anyway, question is yours.

@ Ora

Are we including the ones we wiped out, or is it closest living genetic relatives?
steephie22 (182 D(S))
23 Jan 15 UTC
Bonobos is correct. Forgot what the other primate was. Chimpanzee, Chimpansee or whatever it's called in English?
Jamiet99uk (1307 D)
23 Jan 15 UTC
Bonobos and ghosts.
orathaic (1009 D(B))
25 Jan 15 UTC
Yes Steephie, Chimps and Bonobos.

@Octavious, you raise a valid question; i suspect out definition is a little limited because we know we have neanderthal dna thus we most likely bred with them, thus they weren't a seperate species... But there could have been a third group (the Denisovans, say) which were around at the time - and maybe homo sapiens weren't able to breed with Denisova hominins - and thus WERE a seperate species, while Homo Neanderthalus were able to breed with Denisova hominins... But then we said we are the same species as neanderthals, and so we have a paradox - based entirely on, imo, a poorly delineated definition of what constitutes a species! (like if an infertile couple can't successfully breed, are they different species? There is a really bad way of interpreting this 'simple' biology)

In any case, i did mean living; and i also meant two, not as in first and second but as in joint first - and afaik these are the only set which matches that question.

And the Hits Just Keep on Coming...A Coup in Yemen
http://edition.cnn.com/2015/01/20/world/yemen-violence/ "Shiite Houthi rebels overtook the presidential palace in Yemen's capital, Sanaa, on Tuesday, marking what a government minister called "the completion of a coup." "The President has no control," Minister of Information Nadia Sakkaf told CNN as clashes raged." So...apparently 2014 has just decided to stick around for a sequel in the Middle East...reactions to this latest incident?
