| 1. | Doubting Thomas | ||
|
This is based on the Biblical New Testament story where Thomas, one of the apostles of Christ, refused to believe that Jesus had risen from the grave without seeing evidence. On seeing this evidence, he praised those who believed without proof.
Typically this phrase is used in a midly derogatory. It describes someone who refuse to simply believe in something out of pure faith without asking for evidence. A devout Christian might consider me to be a doubting thomas because I don't believe there is a God since there's no evidence. The Christian considers it a bad thing that I'm not simply willing to have some faith. Fanatic: How can you not believe in God? You don't want to be a doubting thomas?
Athiest: Normal people don't consider it a bad thing when others ask for proof when they make extraordinary claims. If I said that I am Zrlak, King of Mars, I would have little respect for you if you believed me without asking for evidence yet you expect me to just believe your equally ridiculous claims? |

a show that started out great, but slowly pitched downward. it was about a girl whos about 17 and is a dectective solving many cases along the way to finding who killed her best friend lilly kane and raped her at shelly pomroeys party. its now cancelled b.c. they didnt have enough viewers, and the plot was sucking. Kristen bell signed a 5yr contract with WB/CW for Veronica Mars. but that didnt quite happen. She now is in movies like pulse, and the musical "Reefer Madness" and is in popular tv shows "heros, and narrates "Gossip Girl"

The best drummer in the world. He has played on many albums for many different artists. He is most recognized for his work in the band The Mars Volta and now his new band The Memorials. He has a very radical style of playing consisting of super hard drumming, crazy fills and insane foot patterns. Thomas Pridgen has come to fuck shit up!!!!!

| 4. | Thomas Edison | ||
|
Thomas Edison (1820-1955) was best known as a humorist and secretly wrote material for Mark Twain and David Letterman. In his spare time he worked in the Patent Office and ghost-wrote Albert Einstein's relativity papers. It has been alleged that he inherited a method for sexing bees from his mother, Mother Teresa, although the evidence points to him having developed it himself in the early 1700s. In 1877, journeyed with his youthful "ward" Henry Ford to Mars, landing outside The Fabled City of Z'la and encountering the High Martians. During the next 12 years, he reched a period of maximum creativity, in which he invented the black people, the Spinning Rectangle, and Snow Cones. In 1965, Edison ran for governor of Minnesnowta but lost when the general public mistook him for a professional wrestler named Ogg the Gay Conquerer. Collaborated with TimeCube to debunk Albert Newton. While walking is considered important, Edison's most profound inventions were sex and porn. Porn is the top suspect responsible for the Internet Crash of 1864.

Someone who grew up in Alamo Heights, TX, an inburb of San Antonio. The zip code is 78209. Average income in San Antonio, 30k, average income in Alamo Heights, 76k. Kids there grow up feeling entitled, and usually go to an Ivy League, Rice, SMU, Trinity, or another liberal arts school, and then move right back to Alamo Heights. Named as one of the best neighborhoods in the US in the infamous Preppy Handbook.
Adapted as a term by Rob Thomas, director of the TV show Veronica Mars, as a term for the preppies of Neptune High. Thomas is a native of San Marcos, TX, just north of San Antonio. Oh, God, Jack is such an 09er. I mean, I know he grew up over on Argylle and went to Trinity. Did you see what he was wearing? Stinky old Alden tassel loafers, madras shorts, a Sorbonne t-shirt, and his grandfather's Rolex on a grosgrain ribbon. But he *is* very nice to the help and volunteers at St Luke's every Sunday, and was a part of the Rey Feo court in 2004. He does drink a bit, I think.

I think his grandmother lives in the penthouse of Bushnell and is kind of a pill popper, too.
