REFERENCIAS:
-¿Darwin quiere luchar?: Es una frase que se utiliza durante el inicio de las batallas en los videojuegos de Pokemon
-El tipo fantasma: A lo largo del anime, Ash Ketchum nunca ha capturado oficialmente un Pokémon de tipo Fantasma. Charles Darwin está muerto, por lo que él, en esencia, es un fantasma con quien se enfrenta Ash.
-Alta estadistica en velocidad: En los juegos de Pokémon, el Pokémon con la más alta velocidad en estadísticas es el que va primero.
-Origen de las Heces: Ash dice que Darwin solo habla mierda y que sus teorias son incoherencias con muchos agujeros. El Origen de als Especies, obra escrita por Darwin, es referenciado aqui tambien.
-Raps de caramelo/Piezas de Reeses: Piezas de Reese son un tipo de dulces. Reese es un juego de palabras con Rhesus, un tipo de mono, que Darwin sugiere que la humanidad evoluciona a la par y de las mismas raices de este. Ash esta diciendo que golpes de Darwin no son más que dulzor, sin cuerpo real. Los caramelos tambien son un elemento en los juegos de Pokemon.
-Especie dominante: La mayoría de los ecosistemas tienen una o más especies dominantes, algo que el propio Darwin estudió. Ash está diciendo que en este ecosistema (haciendo referencia al tema de la evolución o la batalla de rap) es el superior.
-Hola, bienvenido al mundo llamado Tierra: Al inicio de los videojuegos de Pokémon, normalmente se inicia con el Profesor diciendo "Hola, bienvenido al mundo de los Pokemon".
-Si usted esta buscando al mas apto, soy la selección natural: "La supervivencia del mas apto" y "la selección natural" son parte d e la teoria de la evolución de Darwin.
-No eres muy efectivo: Darwin hace referencia a los movimientos y tipos de efectividad en Pokémon, donde un ataque muy bajo es "No muy efectivo".
-Ni siquiera puedes evolucionar a los 11 años: Desde el inicio del anime de Pokémon en 1997, Ash sigue teniendo la misma edad de 10 años.
-Jigglypuff: Jigglypuff es un Pokémon globo, conocido por ser blando y capaz de desinflarse a sí mismo.
-No tienes ningún juego, niño: Darwin dice que Ash no es lo suficientemente bueno para esta batalla, tambien es referencia a que Ash es un personaje exclusivo del anime de Pokemon y no sale en ningún juego de la franquicia. Tambien hay una referencia oculta a la Game Boy, consola de nintendo en el que salieron los primeros juegos de la franquicia
-Boomstick: Ash Williams , un personaje de las películas de Evil Dead, que comparte el primer nombre de Ash, utiliza una escopeta que él apoda como "Boomstick". Sin embargo, esto es un doble sentido, ya que Darwin sugiere que Ash Williams la tiene mas grande que Ash Ketchum. Además, Ash Williams es "el verdadero Ash", porque es anterior a Ash Ketchum por 16 años.
-Tu lista ridicula: Darwin supuestamente vislumbra el origen de toda la vida, que es mucho más impresionante que los 801 Pokémon en la lista de la Pokédex, un dispositivo que Ash tiene que enumera todos los diferentes Pokémon.
-Revirtió las primeras palabras de la Iglesia: Se sugiere que la investigación de Darwin, entró en contradicción en su época con las primeras palabras de la Biblia, Génesis 1, que Dios creó los cielos y la tierra y todas las criaturas de la Tierra, mientras que Darwin sugiere que esto haya pasado a través de la evolución y no como un acto divino.
-Pene de los percebes: Ash se burla de Darwin por el hecho de haber pasado tanto tiempo estudiando algo tan ridiculo.
-Eres la cosa mas molesta en un Beagle desde las pulgas: Entre 1831 y 1836, Darwin fue en una expedición a bordo del HMS Beagle. Un beagle es también un tipo de perro y los perros son a menudo molestados por las pulgas, aunque Ash considera Darwin es aún más molesto.
-Anciano fallado: Ash hace referencia a un glitch conocido como "el MissingNo glitch" o glitch del anciano de las versiones de Pokémon Rojo y Azul.
-Zarpa hacia las Galápagos: Las Islas Galápagos fue el lugar donde Darwin recogió especímenes por sus investigaciones sobre la selección natural y la evolución de las especies.
-Power Ranger Michael Vick: Michael Vick es un jugador de fútbol americano que pasó tiempo en prisión por participar en peleas de perros ilegales, similar a cómo Ash participa en batallas Pokémon. Power Rangers es una franquicia japonesa dirigida a chicos jóvenes que implican peleas con monstruos, al igual que Pokemon.
-Me enferman: Referencia al infame episodio de Pokemon que indujo convulsiones epilepticas a varios niños japoneses en 1997.
-Desde un principio tan simple: Hace referencia a las palabras finales de El origen de las especies, " Y que, mientras este planeta ha ido girando según la constante ley de la gravedad, desde un principio tan simple sin fin, formas más bellas y más maravillosas han y siguen evolucionado"
-No soy Charles Sheen, pero soy un Dar-ganador: Charles Darwin y Charlie Sheen comparten el mismo nombre. El eslogan de Charlie Sheen, es "Soy un ganador".

This is a short explanation that the King James Bible is Public Domain and not copyrighted by anyone. If the inside pages of your King James Bible says it's copyrighted it is referring to the notes, maps, charts, commentary, concordances, or any other material between the covers. The actual text of the King James Bible from Genesis 1:1 thru Revelation 22:21 is Public Domain. You or anyone could print thousands and thousands of King James Version Bibles to give away and not be in violation of copyright laws. You wouldn't have to ask permission, nor pay any commissions.
The publishers of the new bibles are not stupid. They know that many people will only buy a King James Bible so, they provide one for them. The KJV is often less expensive than the other versions because the publisher does not have to pay any commissions or royalties to do so. They only have to pay for the ink, paper, cost of printing, etc, everything else is pure profit for them.
The King James Bible is the Word of God. No man hold any exclusive rights to it. It's certainly not owned by a man like the wicked, profane, pornographer & owner of the NIV; nor the corrupt, liberal and wicked organization that owns 90 plus percent rights to the ESV.

It isn’t often that the subject matter of a play on Broadway is science. “Copenhagen” opened on Broadway in 2000 after a run in London’s West End. Its focus was a 1941 meeting in Bohr’s Copenhagen house between Danish physicist Niels Bohr and his former protégé German physicist Werner Heisenberg. The meeting was an informal one so there is no record of the actual discussion, but when questioned later, the two parties had different memories of the dialogue. They did agree that Heisenberg initiated a discussion about the development of the atom bomb, but they differed in their recollection of Heisenberg’s motive. “Copenhagen” is all about the views of the two Nobel Prize winners and the conversation that could have taken place between them. Bohr was already world renowned in 1941, having been awarded the 1922 Nobel Prize in physics for "for his services in the investigation of the structure of atoms and of the radiation emanating from them." He had worked with Ernest Rutherford, who had been at McGill before taking up a post in England where he carried out a famous experiment that led him to conclude that atoms consist of a nucleus of protons and neutrons around which electrons orbit much like planets around the sun. Bohr refined this theory by proposing that the electrons actually occupied “shells” at different distances from the nucleus, and that the properties of an atom were determined by the number of electrons in the outermost shell. Furthermore, electrons in lower shells could be excited by energy to jump into higher shells, and this energy could be emitted when they “relaxed” back to lower levels. Bohr had now provided an explanation for a mystery that scientists like Robert Bunsen had been coping with. Light emitted by stars or flames consisted only specific wavelengths, a phenomenon that now could be explained by the energy emitted when electrons transitioned from one shell to another. A different kind of transition complicated Bohr’s life in the 1930’s, that of the Nazis coming to power in Germany. Jewish scientists were being expelled from their positions and were fleeing the country. With his Jewish heritage, Bohr decided he had to do something and opened the door of the Institute of Theoretical Physics in Copenhagen of which he was the head to the Jewish scientists. By 1941 Werner Heisenberg was involved in the German nuclear weapons program that had been launched in 1939. Like Bohr, he was a Nobel Laureate, having won the Prize in 1932 for laying the foundations to quantum mechanics, a field of physics that deals with the motion and interaction of particles such as photons, protons and electrons that are smaller than atoms. Quantum mechanics explains how these can have both the characteristics of particles or waves, and as Heisenberg proposed with his “uncertainty principle,” either their position and speed can be measured, but both cannot be measured at the same time. These highly mathematical concepts are very difficult for a mere mortal chemist to understand but they do explain the energetics involved in the formation of chemical bonds and why some molecules are energetically more favourable than others. This is important when designing chemical syntheses. Heisenberg had spent time at Bohr’s Institute in the 1920s and the two men had an amiable relationship. But why did Heisenberg choose to visit Bohr in Copenhagen in the middle of the war? Was it to pick Bohr’s brain about nuclear fission, an area of physics in which Bohr had become interested, was it to try to enlist Bohr to help with the German effort, or was it to let Bohr know that he had answered Hitler’s call so that he could sabotage the project from within? Later Heisenberg would claim that his remarks about the potential of building a bomb and its catastrophic consequences shocked Bohr who thought the project was not feasible. Bohr disagreed about this exchange and in later interviews explained that he had been very much aware of the energy released by the fission of Uranium-235 and what he was shocked by was Heisenberg happily working on producing a bomb. There is also the theory that Heisenberg had been instructed to give Bohr the impression the Germans were not close to developing a bomb so that he would transmit this information to the Allies who would then see no need to rev up their own effort while Germany speeded along. We will never know the actual gist of the conversation between two of the world’s leading physicists who had frequently cooperated but now found themselves on opposite sides of the conflict between the Nazis and the Allies. It is the uncertainty of what happened during that famous meeting that provides the fodder for “Copenhagen,” the play. What is certain is that Denmark fell under German occupation and in 1943 Bohr received a message that he would be arrested because his mother was Jewish. He fled to Sweden where he convinced King Gustav to allow Jewish refugees into the country. Eventually over 7000 Danish Jews were given asylum in Sweden. Bohr spent the last two years of the war in England and in the U.S. with frequent visits to Los Alamos where his contribution was prized by Robert Oppenheimer, the leader of the Manhattan project. After the war, he returned to Copenhagen and campaigned against the use of nuclear weapons for the rest of his life. Bohr advocated full disclosure of nuclear research between nations and is one of the few scientists who has an element named after him. Bohrium does not occur in nature and is only fleetingly produced via a nuclear fusion reaction. A movie version of Copenhagen is available starring Daniel Craig of James Bond fame as Heisenberg. And if you are fond of watching The Big Bang Theory, as you should be, the animation that you see at the beginning of each segment is that of the Bohr atom! @JoeSchwarcz

Oh, say say say
Wait, they don't love you like I love you
Wait, they don't love you like I love you
Maps...
Wait
They don't love you like I love you...
Made off
Don't stray
My kinds your kind
I'll stay the same
Pack up
Don't stray
Oh, say say say
Oh, say say say
Wait, they don't love you like I love you
Wait, they don't love you like I love you
Maps...
Wait!
They don't love you like I love you...
Wait! they don't love you like I love you
Maps...
Wait
They don't love you like I love you...

Well, here's a story about
A very unfortunate colored man
Who got arrested down in old Hong Kong
He got all his fortunes taken away from him
When he kicked old Ling Ting Tong
And now he's pumping
The piano just to pay the price
For a ticket to the land of the free
He said that his home's in Frisco
Where they ship the rice
But it's really in Tennessee
Won't somebody please help me?
Won't somebody please carry me
Back to San Francisco
And bury my body there?
Yes, and bury my body there
Oh, won't somebody please help me?
Won't somebody please carry me
Back to San Francisco
And bury my body there?
Come on now and bury my body there
I'm not joking now, bury my body there
Bring it on back, bury my body there
I want to know where I'm buried now
Bury my body there
Oh yeah, come on now
Ah-ah, come on
