as long as they don't cum all over the U.S. and superman that ho?

I was taught that when I was probably in 2nd grade. (back in 93 or 94) This poll made me have a flashback of the chapter in that textbook and how I got so fascinated with simple machines for a bit. For the record I'm a lever guy.

I don't know if it's because we're that damned old-fashioned but you can still find them in lots of places in Alabama.
Many gas stations sell them on ice (and charge the same amount for an 8oz bottle as a 12 ounce can). They can also be purchased in a wooden pallet in grocery stores.

My favorite thing about glass coke bottles is that 8 ounces is the perfect amount of coke. Anything more and I get a coke belly.

I like the stuff you're arguing about. I've also wondered about the randomness of his historical points, using what will fit. Oh and it's the exact opposite for me. I like his voice :-) The pace, melody and demeanor is almost hypnotizing. He would make a great evangelical preacher. I guess he is in a sense.

I guess the problem is that what people have experienced goes so far beyond the verbally describable that they can't begin to coin the useful terminology. Mckenna has talked about this before and I wish I could find some written passages about it but I can't. The eastern religions seemed to have found great terminology for these experiences. I guess it's always gonna be regarded as pseudoscience but at this point in the conversation is where I completely lose all will to continue attempting any type of rational, structured argument (what little that was - I was never properly trained in such nor skilled in it)... so I close out with words, words, words, words, words, words.... primate symbol chatter.. meaning? meaning?

I concur completely... for me it was nn-DMT and mushrooms though.

it sucks that mainstream science shuns the use of such... I guess when dealing with something so hard to wrap symbols around people dismiss it as hallucination and psuedo-science.

on a side note, Terrence Mckenna!!!

his theory is based on these Chinese fractal number patterns called the I Ching that have independently reached the conclusion of 2012 being the end of some sort of era in space-time. I'd expect to be laughed at by most of the slashdot crowd, but nevertheless I'll throw it out there.

possibly DOB (2,5-dimethoxy-4-bromoamphetamine) it is a hallucinogenic amphetamine that lasts from 18-30 hours.... very often sold as acid (I also had a horrible weekend)

I smoked some Montecristo Cuban cigars I picked up flying back from Iceland and I honestly couldn't tell the difference from 75 cent gas station cigars.

I have a 2002 Sunfire. I'm going to have to disagree on the wonderful handling, but all-in-all it isn't a bad car.

I get frustrated at the "cheapness" feel that the frame and interior have to it and how it turns into a go-kart with the A/C on, but it has proven to be a very reliable car so far at 86,000 miles. The claim of 240k miles on one does give me some encouragement.

I average 25mpg city in the summer, 27-28 winter and 32-34 highway.

or my brother's old IR NES controllers

I also really enjoyed this book and should probably re-read it. It really forced me to re-evaluate the way my brain works. I particularly like the way he criticizes some of mainstream science's inability to handle this type of study. I will admit that some of his examples on the mysticism were a bit out there but then again the whole holographic theory encourages explanations of such phenomenon. as a veteran user of psychedelic drugs I'm going to have to strongly support the direction that this study is going. On my highest dose of psilocybin mushrooms, ego death occurred and I became a part of everything. the mystery is much deeper than we all can comprehend

okay... so actually Israel has damaged a main Gaza water line - cutting off supplies to 30,000 people at the Nuseirat Camp. BUT... it would be a pretty neat situation to see all the citizens dosed. I'm sure it wouldn't provide sudden introspection, peace and harmony. More likely an insane bloodshed masacre by confused people. but it would be pretty fucking hilarious!

I live in Mobile, Alabama and that's what I did after Hurricane Katrina. It may not be the most efficient energy conversion but it did fine for running a TV so we could watch the news (and charging my laptop so I could dial in thru Netzero to unnecessarily surf the net). I will admit that a portable generator would have been nice to power a window A/C unit... if only i could have routed my car's AC blower to the house

look at all the tubes coming out of it
