How Can I Access Bcc In This New Format Which Incidentally I Just Hate

What is the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to you at work or in class?

Unforgettable embarrassment I was in 12th class. It seemed like any other day. We were in the physics class and the teacher was trying to make us understand magnetic field lines.He was in his 30s with weird hairstyle and was quite popular among the students.We were half asleep and were getting bored, then out of nowhere came the PT teacher for checking as he had got some information from his "reliable" sources that some boys of our class had brought mobile phones to the school.All of a sudden, both the teachers started checking the bags and pockets of the boys.After checking few of my classmates our physics teacher came to my desk. I was sitting with my very-good friend who was a studious, introvert, shy guy and one of physics teacher's favourites. At first he was unwilling to check him because he knew him well and liked his behaviour very much, but then he did his duty but in vain.Then he found his wallet which was of different kind with a metal chain coming out of it and had an attractive tattoo. He kept it just out of curiosity.The search was over and our PT Teacher left the class empty handed. Now this Physics teacher went to the lecture stand with the wallet and started taking all the things out of it.Then he was stumbled upon a phone number diary of my friend. And on the first page and in bold letters was written BULL-DOG.He chuckled and passed a smile to my friend and read that name loudly in the class. Teacher, looking at my friend  :- BULL-DOG hahahahahahaha. Who's nick name is this? Who in the class is BULL-DOG? Raajan you? ABC you? No one? So tell me who's number is this?Class was silent .Then he read the number loudly, written in front of BULL-DOG. And he was dumbstruck."Arre yeh toh mera number hai"(Oops this is my number.)That was his number.The whole class bursted into laughter. And my friend was trying to hide his face under the desk.The bell rang and he left the class leaving that wallet on the stand.And this friend of mine bunked the next few physics lecture.Now if you ask how this incidence is embarrassing for me? Well, i was the guy who gave him that name. P.S - We (teacher and I) are still in contact and still remember and enjoy this incidence).

Which position has the burden of proof: atheists or theists? Does the burden of proof lie with those postulating a belief system (theists) or those who do not share this belief system?

Theists, clearly.  They are the ones making the positive claim.  The burden of proof lies on those making the claim that X exists- particularly if claim X is extraordinary in nature.  The burden does not lie on the skeptic of claim X to disprove the unproven assertion that X is real.Picture Sagan's dragon:Imagine your neighbor has told you that he has an invisible dragon in his garage.  You, rightfully, would be skeptical of this claim and ask for evidence.  Can the neighbor simply say to you "Prove I DON'T or else admit my dragon is real!"?  Not unless he wants to be seen as unreasonable and frankly a little crazy.  So you go to his garage and feel around.  No dragon.  Perhaps you can throw a substance like flour in the air to coat the dragon?  Your neighbor says that won't work-"Because it's intangible!" your neighbor protests."Then let's see if breathe fire, so it proves the dragon is there," you reply."It's SPIRITUAL fire, so of course you won't see it."At this point do you honestly need to keep going on, trying to disprove a claim that has no evidentiary support?  No- your neighbor has, and always had, the burden of proof.
