Comment Re:5th Admendment? (Score 1) 446

Yeah, but they're still dinosaurs. And we (or many of us) eat dinnosaur eggs every morning. So this begs the question.. were cro-magnons Morg and Clog smart enough to collect archaeopteryx eggs? Or would they have had to have a braincase the size of Neandarthal to figure that one out? Or was new "wife" he clubbed and drag into cave by hair the one who did the dirty deed of raiding archaeopteryx nests? PS apparently since Neandarthals had bigger brains than we do they would have figured out 4th dimension travel by now, had they been the dominant species. Maybe that's why the 2 foot long skull "humans" wiped Neandarthal out?

Actually, the US was only the preferred place of immigration for nazis if they worked for the gov't in high security positions, such as the US missile program etc. Good 'ol Nazi know-how for the American war machine...

Ah yes "sigh" We all know that all great discoveries are made in a vacuum. That science is just religion in disguise and only the priests of it can undersand crazy new theories That science is a waste of time and has no bearing on modern society. And.. hoo.. must be a dozen more crackpot ideas floating around about science and scientists. Funnily though, the one that gets very little traction is that major scientific descoveries are made with plain old hard work. By examining other current research into that area. And that these discoveries do indeed impact society in a beneficial way. Not only do these last points get little traction, I read the antiscience brigade comments repeatedly aired out online! Written on a computer! Go figure....

Comment Babylonian? or even earlier.. (Score 1) 62

Babylonian makes a whole lot more sense. By the time the Greek civilization was in full gear the deeper mysteries from pre-Egyptian civilization had already been lost. How do I know? Well, I don't KNOW first hand, but I believe the people who have been there, a-la- the old writings and edgar cayce etc. Plus there's the archaelogical records. And old structures, built for air breathing beings, that have been submerged for well over 18,000 years. And constructions of machined rock so hard that even diamond woould have a hard time cutting it. And 16,000 year old massive underground excavations in Turkey designed with modern scientific airflow principles. So that they would have an "abacus"like computer doesn'ty surprise me. And it's not made of iron and por copper or whatever metal it's made of, out of primitivism.It's advanced foresight, for a society that would have lost all electric power. A few Carrington events and this would be the only kind of computer we could use, too. It's obvious that they had electric power before that, because there is not a single mark from torchlight in the Great pyramid. None. So how did they see inside there, if not electric power? Besides theres heiroglyphics that show electric lamps. So yeah..the AK Mechanism? it's old old old...

1 in 200,000 actually die? I think the figure is somewhat higher that that.. but be that as it may, the percentage of patients that actually wake up during surgewry is much much higher, less than 1 in 100, according to my ex, a surgical nurse. THey get as part of the anethesia, however, a member of the same family of drugs as the infamous "date rape" drugs, so they remember nothing about it. Even I did during my recon surgery, but I don't remember.. It's only because It was whispered to me what really happemned that I even know. Understandably, accurate numbers on the level of patients that wake up is.. er.. hard to find. Which brings to mind the old question, if trauma experienced is completely forgotten, are the effects also nonexistent? UFO abductees would answer with a big NO!, but the surgical profession seems to hold the opposite view. Or, perhaps, it's a "make work" program for their buddies in the psychiatric department ;-)

Comment So, chicken and egg scenario? (Score 1) 275

Was my old bandmate stupid as a log from to try to live off of Blue-green algae, or did the algae make him so stupid he believed the "patent medicine" claims given it? Frankly, I don't need anything that can cure "sluggish heart" , impotence, and "reluctant liver", plus cancer, baldness, emphysema, rash, zits, high blood pressure , low blood pressure, no blood pressure, etc etc. Good old Dr Foster's "Genuine Turkish tincture" can do that real good, already. Great for the "vapors", too ;-)

Comment Re:Land of the Free (Score 1) 231

I don't know just how "free" Germany really is.. almost every form of access that westerners take for granted, most especially on the internet.. comes up with a big "Verboten! You kann Nicht do. You are verboten to doenload!! verboten to see!! Verboten to tink about ze war!! " Of course these restrictions are mostly media related ones, but using copyright rules as a way of restricting freedom of information is becoming well established, already. There'sa other restrictions too, dealing with freedom of speech.. all to avoid "offending" anyone, that simply become another millstone to drag around. Anyone who thinks Germany has "freedom of speech" has never been there.
