Ya te llevó la Huesuda!

Thanks to Greg and Charles

Quote of the Day:

Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything – all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.

Steve Jobs

 

  1. Happy Day of the Dead!

    Bigfoot Hotel: I thought one already existed? For some reason this feels like something Japan would build.

    Aliens look: *sees alien’s body* O_o well damn.

    Aibo: Cute but I still want a real puppy over it.

  2. Neanderthals: The Biblical story suggests that it was the Neanderthals that “sinned” by “coming down” (from the north) and taking whatever women they wanted. It also suggests that it was the male offspring of these “relationships” who had hybrid vigor and were “wicked”. However, these “mighty men” eventually died out. Such a scenario is obviously politically and racially charged, but it still could be generally accurate. (That said, the Biblical account is clearly biased against the “sinning” race.) Interestingly enough, genetic studies indicate that we no longer possess any male (Y-Chromosome) contributions from the Neanderthal in the modern gene pool. One article postulates:
    “If women consistently miscarried male babies carrying Neanderthal Y chromosomes, that would explain its absence in modern humans. So far this is just a hypothesis, but the immune systems of modern women are known to sometimes react to male offspring when there’s genetic incompatibility.”

    1. Here’s a related article that specifically mentions infertile male Neanderthal hybrids:
      https://www.newscientist.com/article/2083381-missing-y-chromosome-kept-us-apart-from-neanderthals/
      The Biblical account evidently makes a Hermetic (“As Above So Below”) comparison by both blaming the Neanderthals also also likening them to the “gods.” The making an analogy between the ET gods, who first became established in regions above (“north of”) the (“hot, crowded, violent”) galactic plane, but later descended to the lower regions (as “colonizers”) and did a lot of damage (“sinning”) in the process!

  3. What Aliens Look Like:
    What aliens look like on their home planets has got to be totally different than what their space-faring A.I./Droid emissary beings look like, which is all we would know about. I’m sure that an intelligent species would try to look damn sexy in their natural habitats.

    1. What do itelligent aliens look like?
      Well in this planet we have 2 intelligent species that look very similar in some ways.

      We have humans. No really, humans are intelligent.
      And we have octupus.

      How do I expect to get away with saying the look similar?
      Both handle things. Both understand by grasping things. Literally.
