    In the stage of the life, there are a lot of challenges we need to face. Of course it is in Tibia Gold. We have pressures, of course. If you want to release yourselves, try Tibia money, that will be helpful for you, I think. We can not do a lot of thing in one day, but we can do a thing well, right?

To ask a question alone would be enough to label one as mad." OK, this is garbage. First of all, it should be pre-Copernican, not pre-Galilean. But much worse is that people have seriously been considering heliocentrism for many centuries before Copernicus. Aristarchus had proposed a heliocentric model in the 4th-century BC. It had generally been considered wrong, but not "mad." (And wrong for scientific reasons: Why, for instance, did we not observe stellar parallax?) And when Copernicus propose...
