Reads with Scotch ’s comments from the Axis Mundi X group.

I can only do that when I'm driving by myself... My wife refuses to listen to the old recordings... she just listens to Pink Floyd(sp?).

I wouldn't fling an animal... well one that is alive anyway... Monty python just jumped into my head... I can sling cows over my fence/ramparts. Once said cow has devastated my intrusive neighbor, and I have successfully taunted them, I can have a BBQ. It isn't animal cruelty if you eat it once it is dead. Besides I think I can say with a great level of certainty that those last few moments would probably be the most exciting time in that cows life.

:( Well I will stand here with my candle. Others will come. If you write it people will read it Charissa.

I can not speak for the UK, but here in the states it seems that during the high school year’s things are more geared toward the pop culture. (I don’t think this is because the music/art is good, just because it is accessible and teens have an unrelenting desire to “fit” in) But once you get into the more adult demographics I think you will find people tend to go back in time with their tastes in art & music. For example myself, I really don’t dig current music, most of the time I would rather stuff brillo pads into my anus then listen to anything release this year, or the year before (there are exceptions to this of course). I love the Beatles, and oldies, blues leading all the way back to the beginning. I own many CD’s that most people can’t stand to listen to because the recordings are of such poor quality. But the music and culture behind the crackle is priceless. Buddy guy, Muddy waters, blind Johnson. These are people that will never fade. I hope. Maybe I put too much faith into our disposable culture of today.

A.W. Bickerton (1926)

This foolish idea of shooting st the moon is an example of the absurd length to which vicious specialization will carry scientists... the proposition to be bacically impossible.


Konstantin E. Tsiolkovsky, father of rocketry

The finer part of mankind will, in all likelihood, never parish-they will migrate from sun to sun as they go out. And so there is no end to life, to intellect and perfection os humanity. Its progress is everlasting.

Excellent, please send to PMB lot 157 Giest Rd Fairbanks Alaska 99709. 2 day air freight if you please.


* Disclaimer* Not my real address, and are you fricking nuts, do you have any idea what it would cost to ship a vehicle to Alaska?

I just want to sling a pinto into the side of my neighbor’s house

no... That didn't come out right... cut me some slack I have been up for a couple of hours now... I was implying that it is time for me to go to bed and I won't have enough time to type it out.

I actually have a really good joke, but it is really long so I will type it up tonight.

I hate that it is May, and I can't go camping yet. On account of the frocking weather! I guess I could start a fire in my back yard... still a bit chilly to be messing about in the buff though.

Eh... hence the disclaimer. Duh!



It is a machine of war, and should only be used by professionals… not some freakish midget. You sadden me I thought you would remember my “fear/hatred” of the so called little people.



I really don’t hate them but the really do freak me out.

Who wants to build a trebuchet with me?

I think this would be fun. I always wanted a big things slinger. Have a pesky car in your driveway that no longer runs, slingthings.com will come and throw it somewhere else.

Albert Einstein:
If at first an idea does not sound absurd, then there is no hope for it.

I use this quote when arguing about string theory. I am really getting upset with self proclaimed asses that think they are the “that’s that” of physics.



Mark Twain:
You can not depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.

If you can not imagine what the future is going to be then how do you plan to prepare for it?

Lord Kelvin (1899):
Radio has no future. Heavier then air flying machines are impossible. X-rays will prove to be a hoax.

Just goes to show even scientist get it completely wrong from time to time.

Admiral William Leahy:
The (atomic) bomb will never go off. I speak as an expert in explosives.

This reminds me a lot of the al gore camp environmentalist. Oh really you’re an expert in a field that doesn’t have enough information to form a solid scientific thesis… hmm interesting. That doesn’t stop you from grand standing does it?

John Wheeler:
If you haven’t found something strange during the day, it hasn’t been much of a day.

Just a fancy way of saying a day with out learning is a day not worth living.

M.C. Escher:
Only those who attempt the absurd will achieve the impossible.

Only those that never attempt will never succeed.

Max Planck:
A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponent and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents die, and a new generation grows up familiar with it.

Apparently.... There is no rhyme or reason to what they block. I can't even go to my banks website???? And yet goodreads is available?

Then of course there is my dream website... subs tours, and underwater hotels.

This one kind of strikes me as ridiculous since we don't seem to be able to keep up in the public education.

I am really repulsed by this. I had mentioned in another thread that these stories come out every couple of years... It makes me wonder how many people are being held hostage.

This particular case it over the top because of all the children involved.

I love this website; it is really interesting to see what the government is working on... and sometimes really scary...
