FYI: I saw a program last night that showed how insomnia and sleep deprivation adversely affected the thalamus. A damaged thalamus can cause coma and death, with on going dementia as being the classic symptom.
Yes. To explain the reference, Orgo and Ftoomsh are both 'Helpers from Hell', working with the devil. If anyone uses their name 3 times, they are allowed to surface and cause pain and mayhem. So Orgo gets to go up a lot more often than Ftoomsh. eg 'Will I go to the party or go (orgo) to the pub?' But Ftoomsh doesn't get the same opportunities, cause no-one says Ftoomsh. Except Rik - one of the Young Ones, who repeats it 3 times, a typographical error in a newspaper he is reading aloud.
Assess or Donkeys are very hardy and rarely if ever get sick. They also eat all types of grasses and vegetation. There is nothing so remarkable as seeing a donkey eating a bristling juicy head of a thistle plant and liking it. They're a good work animal, strong for the size. They have lots of personality but tend to be slightly evil. Not too sure about mules, as I haven't owned one.
I have some kind of dark desire for Zombie type gals. Yeah sure they're a bit slow and have difficulty walking, maybe even bad breath, but I know they want me!:)
I really am not being abrasive. That's in your mind.
"I hate the very concept of supernatural beings, it is silly and makes no sense, and people who believe in it are idiots". is being abrasive.
Never thought the person as a retard. Just being a logic-nazi.
If you hate God, then you believe in God. I hate God, and one day I will put up a website about all the reasons for why he should be punished for his sins, which are infinite by the way. It doesn't make me an atheist however! That would be playing into his hands......
I'm a god-hating atheist too, How in God's name can you be a god-hating atheist? You can't hate God if you're an atheist, because if you're an atheist, then you shouldn't believe in God in the first place.
3) Your modem isn't fast enough. Open your computer, remove the modem, and lubricate it with vaseline to help reduce packet friction. WD-40 or some similar spray lubricant works wonders too. I like WD-40 because it drives away any moisture or condensation forming on chips.
Would someone please identify the person(s) who are trying to make 'meme' another buzzword? I would appreciate their email addy if you can manage that as well. I've had to put up with 'Absolutely' in the 90's and now 'meme' for the next decade, as well as iAddyourwordhere.... for just too long.
Jews were a nomadic tribe(s). They have been and still are as the diaspora shows. Only a small proportion of them are in Israel. Just because they wrote the book, doesn't mean it's true.
You are right in that there are historical preducies that keep surfacing time and time again. But never consider the Balkans as innocent or a hard done by. Gee! Who started WW1?
The answer (if there is one), is to either wipe your enemies off the face of the earth, or live together in peace and harmony. Now if you elect to go option 1: Then only the most powerful would survive. There's no "The meek shall inherit the Earth" here. The consciousness of every civilization of every country is very low. In truth, every tribe of man should elevate themselves higher, above retribution and accept that the land they have is what they own, and no-one had the right to say or force otherwise. The Jews, a wandering people who settled in Palestine, most certainly have their problems. So now, do the Palestinians. Their only solution is to live together.
Well if you know a little of Ouspensky, who was a student and commentator of Gurdjieff, then you have some knowledge of the 'science'. There are a few interesting points here. The geometry is worked out based on ascendant or descendant frequencies. That, in an ascendant frequency, the distance between tones is equal in energy, however the distance between semitones are not in comparison. If you plot this you get a straight line between C-D-E but between E-F, there is not enough energy and distance and it is 'represented' or shown still as a straight line, but falling away from the line given by C-D-E. F-G-A continues the straight line, now based on the divergent line of the semitone E-F. The new B-C semitone also diverges and continues on this new path of C2-D2-E2 ad infinitum and what you get in the end is a mathematically correct outwardly growing spiral. On a descendant frequency, the same thing happens, except it forms a inwardly receding spiral until there is not enough energy to continue. The micro-tonal aspect is based on an octave within each tone. So there are 7 tonal divisions between C-D. Gurdjieff goes on to say that he experienced physical effects on plants, animals and humans by micro-tonal variations in a tuned sealed chamber. This was done by long periods of slight glissando and tremolo on base frequencies that these forms were resonant to. He has also geometricised it into an enneagram, based on 1 divided by 7 and the repeating decimal result plotted on a circle.
As I once played the Lute (6 and 7 course), I found that I could get better tuning by stretching the strings to give maximum volume and resonance for each particular instrument. Very rarely was that ever in modern day 'concert pitch'. It totally depended on the quality of the woods and construction. Ensemble music must have been very difficult in Elizabethan times!
Apologies. Too much rum the night before. Yes, Gurdjieff has a system where music and science are very relevant, even going into micro-tonal scales as well. Fascinating reading if you like occultist nonsense. Otherwise please ignore.
Any discussion of music and science would be meaningless unless taken in the framework of Gurdjeiff's teachings on the Law of Octaves. You are all hanassmus individuals!
Quote from the article
As a result, artiodactyls are "especially susceptible," he wrote, to exhausting food resources and occasioning malnutrition and stunting in their young. If, in succeeding generations, smaller individuals met with greater reproductive success, then eventually evolution might begin to favor them, leading to dwarfism. This has been the 'fall-back' of many Darwinians. This explanation has just too many holes in it and is beginning to sound like a universal panacea - trying to make a theory explain the facts, rather than facts to test a theory.
If anything like this was true, then how do you explain that in mainland populations, the occurrence of dwarfism is either extremely unlikely or just not found?

Vonnegut wrote quite a few Sci-Fi. Every one a favourite.
Thanks for reminding me about him.
His last book is called "The Last Theorem" - He finished editing it 10 days before his death.
Yes. But if there a big 4, then I'll add John Campbell.
Even Heinlein and Asimov would agree.
Yes. To explain the reference, Orgo and Ftoomsh are both 'Helpers from Hell', working with the devil.

Mind you, it takes a genius like me to know what the hell you're talking about!

Goodbye. Hand you card in on the way out...
It's a brilliant idea, especially if they can miniaturize it!
Stick one in a car! How about torch batteries! Laptops etc etc!
Even remote controls!!!!

Got to remind myself that I shouldn't reply to AC
Oh for goodness sake!
http://www.hungarian-history.hu/lib/cseres/cseres01.htm is a very interesting read for you.
Then perhaps you can re-consider the innocence of the Balkan people? (Serb or Croat)
You are right in that there are historical preducies that keep surfacing time and time again. But never consider the Balkans as innocent or a hard done by. Gee! Who started WW1?

Damn! Now you tell me!
"OMG Mother? Mother!!! Are you ok? Wake up please!!!"
Oh yeah sure! Just because they're big and have lots of money and spend stacks on research and stuff you think that ....
Oh wait..
4004BC + 2008AD = 6012 years.
There! Fixed it for you!
