Quote of the Day:

Given a choice between two theories, take the one which is funnier.

Blore’s razor

  1. Voyager
    In cases where NASA’s budget cutting threatens to curtail significant knowledge acquisition, why don’t they offer to transfer the programs to universities or other organizations that would benefit? Just a thought.

    1. Because NASA is run by small,
      Because NASA is run by small, petty, jealous, egotistical little people who’d rather destroy a discovery than see someone else get the credit for it. That’s how the scientific community works, most of the time. There’s such fierce competition for funding that organisations like NASA don’t want to share their work for fear of losing vital discoveries and the funding that results from them. It all comes down to penny pinching, and denying the competition any advantage.

      It’s sad. Imagine what we could achieve if knowledge was shared sincerely and without prejudice.

    Hi,

    Greg the steam seems to have run out of the masonic usa poll, currently at the significant number of 11 00 votes, wouldnt it be time to start a new and quicky one.

    Who will become the next pope and why ? Your votes & arguments please.

    ps in dutch popel (pope pole) expresses quiver, anxious eagerness, well i cant wait.

    ” do unto others as you would have them do unto you “

    1. Pope Quiz
      Hi Tox,

      I agree, it is time for a new poll. But I don’t know many people who could identify the front-runners for the papacy…those cardinals aren’t exactly rock stars. Perhaps we could do something more broadly interesting, say on the Malachi prophecies or similar?

      Peace and Respect
      Greg

  3. chocolate pills
    Well Jameske,I’ve decided that if I need a chocolate hit I will do it the old fashioned way and eat a whole block.That is very expensive for a chocolate pill.

    The programmed DNA forming fractals is sort of sensational when you think of it.But then it makes sense too.

    The bit about dreams is interesting.I think I probably live a whole nother life in my dreams.There is so much going on that I wake up exhausted.

    Great links.Thanks Jameske.
