"Thank You, We Had a Great Time"

feeds@yuku.com (Neo) — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 01:22:15 GMT

The American space agency, Nasa, says two unmanned spacecraft have crashed into the moon as planned in an experiment seeking evidence of water - http://www.bbc.co.uk/worl...09_mooncrash_nh_sl.shtml

I cannot remember anyone asking me, whether I would mind if they did this to the moon.

I mean, the moon, the earth, everything I know, is part of the...

Lily Burk (Debra Droozs'daughter?) murdered

feeds@yuku.com (clearblue) — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 22:41:27 GMT

"There is a bit of irony to this tragic even. Deborah Drooz, the victim's mother, does legal work for LA CAN (Los Angeles Community Action Network). LA CAN is a skid row activist group that opposed the gentrification of downtown and the "harassment" of the downtown "homeless." They also oppose the enforcement of "quality of life" crimes by the LAPD, like DRINKING IN PUBLIC. The very crime that...

365th post, bye

Today is a good day to die (symbolically) - 7.7., full moon - full of fairy tale symbolism.

It is my 365th post on this forum. One for each day of the year of participation here. The last one by my own choice.

Good-bye.

Ok, let me not forget to end with the most basic, immediate and meaningful koan I have ever heard:

Last night I watched a highly disturbing movie, that you probably already know. It was also re-made as "Vanilla sky" - I don't know how good and/or disturbing is the latter... but the Spanish original... phew... I won't go into the ensuing ideations but just watching the ending (SPOILER!!) is enough to understand that it is not your casual weekend entertainment. I highly recommend it, but only if you are anywhere near mentally "balanced". Ah, it has much to do with...

looking for a pogo stick

anyone have a used or new pogo stick they want to sell?
must be able to handle up to 240 LBS capacity.
i am going to try this experiment with using a pogo stick.
it's time i put this idea into practice. i've had this idea
for years for using a pogo stick for lucid dreaming purposes.
i know it sounds very strange and weird but in practice
it could be just the ticket to help awareness in dreaming.
one of the first things i always do in a lucid dream...

A guide to stalkers and stalking (obsessional following)

feeds@yuku.com (motif01) — Sun, 31 May 2009 11:02:31 GMT

According to the Psychiatric Times there are five stalker subtypes:

The Rejected respond to an unwelcome end to a close relationship by actions intended to lead to reconciliation, an extraction of reparation from the victim or both. For the stalker, the behavior maintains some semblance of continued contact and relationship with the victim.

The Intimacy Seekers pursue someone they have little, if any, relationship with in the mistaken belief that they are loved, or...

Today's Wolfram|Alpha is the first step in an ambitious, long-term project to make all systematic knowledge immediately computable by anyone.

Life within the limits

feeds@yuku.com (rova) — Thu, 14 May 2009 09:50:08 GMT

I "obssess" lately with the body temperature and sensory perception limits of human mind-body. We can live only within ca. 30° - 42°, becoming comatose at both mentioned extremes and death following slightly below and above both limits. We can exist only within 10° variation of our temperature. Just a degree or two below and above both limits hallucinatory stage occurs, which is interesting, but my foremost curiosity is in this temperature limits of our existance and perception...

Perpetual loop

feeds@yuku.com (rova) — Thu, 07 May 2009 11:25:25 GMT

One BS that cannot be denied nor prooved:

Our existence - whatever it is - is perpetual. We can percieve only "now". "After" is out of our field, so is "before". We cannot witness the very moment of our own conception and disintegration. We are only aware to some point "from" and "until". The very moment is not percievable.

It is possible that we are caught in the perpetual existential loop, not very different than the plot...

The War Against Freedom

I had thought that the only effect of the so called 'war on drugs' was having was to make criminals of innocent people, and waste taxpayers money. But it seem that it goes deeper than that.

Causes Of Climate Change

feeds@yuku.com (Fruitless) — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 05:14:36 GMT

Divorce adds to the impact of global warming as couples switch to wasteful single lifestyles, Family First senator Steve Fielding says.

He told a Senate hearing on Tuesday that divorce led to a "resource-inefficient lifestyle" and it would be better for the planet if couples stayed married.

When couples separate, they need more rooms, more electricity and more water, which increases their carbon footprint.

"We understand that there is a social problem...

The documentary contained collected information from many prophets and future seers, including the I Ching and the Oracle at Delphi, attempting to...
