I believe in the power of ravens. If they land on your lawn, it's going to rain.
I believe you can jinx things by talking about them too much or too early.

Are we really the only ones here or is the universe just too damn big for that to be true? While this planet is the only one we know of that contains intelligent life, the universe is so large that the probability of other sentient species is, for all intents and purposes, 1.
It would be wonderful to become aware of extra-terrestrial life and marvelous indeed were it sentient.

Are you a cynic or a dreamer? Cynic for sure. Dreams only come true if you make them happen.
Do you think a monster lurks in Loch Ness or that it is just a log? Nessie isn't necessarily a monster, just misunderstood or misidentified.....or both.
Would you stand in front of a mirror and say 'Bloody Mary' 3 times? Been there, done that. What was it supposed to do?
Are we really the only ones here or is the universe just too damn big for that to be true? I agree with Gallagher on this one. The reason aliens haven't landed here is because they know we're going to take them out, get them drunk, and run off with their flying saucer.
Does a raven staring at you through a window bring bad luck? Know, but I believe that in some way a raven is like a writing desk. I'm just not sure how.
What do you believe in? I believe that it's our decisions and subsequent actions that matter. We make our own destiny and should plan carefully. We only get one shot, so it should count.

In a universe of millions of galaxies, containing millions of suns each, the belief that there is life out there is inevietable.
Whether the civilisations overlap ours is the big question.

I'll take life - sentient or otherwise. Just imagine what an impact such a discovery would have on biology if it was not based on DNA!
If non-terrestrial life is informed and described by DNA, then that also is exciting, implying as it does that DNA is sufficient for life to arise on independent worlds.
I can only hope that I'll live long enough to be around when "it" happens.
Perhaps 2012 will be the year.

I dunno, dude. It's tough to make predictions, especially about the future.

The only thing larger than the universe would be an ego that makes us exclusive.

I believe in coyotes and time as an abstract.
I know there is more to reality than we can take in with our 5 senses.

"...cynic or a dreamer?" I got doubts about being a dreamer. Had nightmares over it
"...monster... or... ...log?" A fast, ugly, smart, very large serpent.
"...a mirror and say... ?" After 3 more bloody hail Mary's, couldn't stand long enuf to say it!
"...only ones here or... ?" Others? What? It's crowded already in here.
"...raven staring... ?" I'm a good aim with a slingshot.
"...believe in?" Right Now

Are you a cynic or a dreamer? def a dreamer
Do you think a monster lurks in Loch Ness or that it is just a log? dunno if monster but something is defintely in the loch
Would you stand in front of a mirror and say 'Bloody Mary' 3 times?
No way!
Are we really the only ones here or is the universe just too damn big for that to be true? i think there are other out there
Does a raven staring at you through a window bring bad luck? never heard that but know i was told that wild bird in house is death
What do you believe in? i am believer in God and prayer and many different beliefs as i have friends that are buddist and pagan and everything in between so i am pretty open minded

I believe if you lie about your accomplishments to get ahead you will eventually fall on your behind.
