My icon symbolizes more than my religion, but you are correct in calling me a Muslim. Your second reason, however, I find a bit sketchy, but there is another time (and certainly another place) to discuss such matters.

I'm one step ahead of you.

And to the rest of the welcoming committee, thank you.

Wait it juts hit me. Is sentient similar in meaning to senile? (I really genuinely am asking, not trying to poke fun)

Oh. Whoops. Sorry. But uh what would that world apply to then (don't say Parihaka). That which has sensation or feeling, like any living thing? Or what?

Parihaka

Actually I'm going for this definition more

sentient
adj 1: endowed with feeling and unstructured consciousness; "the
living knew themselves just sentient puppets on God's
stage"- T.E.Lawrence [syn: animate] [ant: insentient]
2: consciously perceiving; "sentient of the intolerable load";
"a boy so sentient of his surroundings"- W.A.White


Source: Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)

Sentient \Sen"ti*ent\, a. [L. sentiens, -entis, p. pr. of
sentire to discern or perceive by the senses. See Sense.]
Having a faculty, or faculties, of sensation and perception.
Specif. (Physiol.), especially sensitive; as, the sentient
extremities of nerves, which terminate in the various organs
or tissues.

Sentient \Sen"ti*ent\, n.

I've always took sentient to mean one who has concience, and intelligence. Being self-aware. Thereby separating man from beast.

Once I got lost in the vacuousness of Al Gores head and Shamus was able to release me. Yes it was roomy and lonely in the chasm between Al's ears but really warm. Did I mention there was the smell of C02 and methane? ....Oh yeah there was the smell of C02 and methane.

Tell em Shamus....,Tell em I'm not making this all up.


Oh yeah. welcome Buu....
