Lekg's post was from mid Feb and she/he said "once I had a virus", so I hope whatever it was is long past.

I think they can. If they happen to pass out drunk, with a lit cigarette, while holding a significantly full glass of gin while wearing flammable polyester pajamas. You know if SHC were actually true, Elvis would have done it. He always did like to make dramatic exits.

Mike the headless chicken, the headless chicken's former head and his manager, Hope Wade, during an interview. Wade did all the talking.

Another happy Flame On customer. "This is one of the most famous photos from an alleged case of spontaneous human combustion. On December 5, 1966, 92-year-old retired doctor John Bentley died from a fire of unknown origin in Coudersport, Pennsylvania. The elderly man walked with the aid of a walking frame, clearly visible in the photo. The fire apparently was confined to a small area of the doctor's bathroom, which burned a hole in the floor. Most of his body was reduced to ash."

I hope that the poll results indicate that we have nothing to fear from all the global warming hysteria. I would like to move closer to the beach.

Who are "they"?

You mean it has been around since the Romans? "oopway, oopway,...."

You are apparently correct Klay. The biggest Nd magnet sphere you'll find. 1-1/2" Dia NdFeB Sphere Magnet, Grade N45, Ni-Cu-Ni Plated with Mirror finish, Magnetized through the Poles (like the planet Earth). Click on image for larger pic. WARNING - VERY POWERFUL ( just try and pull 2 of these apart! ) 1-1/2" Sphere Pack of 1: $48.00

Impossible I say. But it looks like you can just buy them........... http://www.engconcepts.net/List_Of_Sphere_Magnets.asp http://www.dansdata.com/magnets2.htm

Wow. This is almost as interesting as your air pollution conversion factors. I think I'll visit your site to learn more (NOT).

Interesting. I think I'll visit your site to learn more (NOT).

But what about the poor who can't afford to travel out of state? Don't they have the same rights as the wealthy? PS: not my stance but it will come up if it goes very far (if it hasn't already).

I hope I didn't send the wrong message. I do believe that they are demonizing Iran wether Ahmedinijad deserves a lot or all of it or not. But Ahmedinijad is not Iran any more than George W is the US. The main point I wanted to get accross was that we helped create him and who knows what is really going on. Ahmedinijad seems to be a very sharp guy and he very well could be touched in the head. That said, he seems to be as adept at making all of us go up and down as Alan Greenspan was. Which gains him a ton of support from his base at home, who really pull all the strings anyway. But the fact of the matter is, the neocons are playing the same music that they played before invading Iraq. And he hasn't killed anybody yet and he very well could be beating his chest about Israel, of he might not be either..... That said, I saw an old jewish lady, a holocaust survivor, on TV one day say the main thing she learned from the ordeal and wanted everyone else to know was "when somebody tells you they are going to kill you better believe them because they are going to kill you". But as I said, the fact of the matter is, he hasn't killed anybody. Yet or perhaps he won't.

I was thinking more along the lines of a pack mentality. I doubt most of those people (but not me ) would ever act in such a way if they were not in a group situation. To a large extent, it may be similar to country line dancing. It makes people feel good to go along with the crowd. The negative ones (Jerry Springer, even Dr Phil sometimes- especially towards men- for example) remind me of a public stoneing. While the "postive" ones (games shows, Arsenio, Tyra, etc) seem to be much like pep rallies.

All of this comparing Ahmadinajad to Hitler and demonizing Iran by the quote, unquote neocons is, of course, just propoganda setting us up for the next military action. I'm not saying that Ahmadinajad is anything to be warm and fuzzy about by any means but the simple truth is we (the US especially but also the rest of the West) are, in large part, responsible for the situation over there (a la the shaw) much like we helped create the one in Iraq (a la Sadam). Now we are facing the consequences of that sin. It's a mess with no apparent easy solutions to be found. Military action very well could be inevitable. I share your sentiments iNow. I wish we could make a law that said in effect that anytime anyone used the word bomb, in the context of a militrary act vs another country, they would have to include the word people. If we were forced to admit to ourselves that there are real people that are getting blown up by the bombs, I think it would be cause for pause. George W Bush would be forced to say, for example, "today we bombed the people of Iran". I don't think there would be a much cheering. Ok, I'm through with la la land.....

On many shows, there are flashing digital signs that instruct the audience to clap, cheer, etc. It is orchistrated to a very large extent. I believe that the craziest example is the Jerry Springer Show...... ding ding ding (boxing ring bell)...... men and women immediately begin to fight. It is reminiscent of the operant conditioning behaviour of B F Skinner's pigeons. But I doubt that he would be very proud.

Correct. It is boride. Sorry for the confusion. I have organometallic reagents on the brain....eg, sodium borohydride, sodium cyanoborohydride, etc Do you know of a link to the info in that paper (or similar)? Their archive seems to only go back to '89.

Interesting system you have there. I was not aware. Looks like it could get complicated. Have many have minor party cands or Indies actually won by that system?

Absolutely not! They are not the same thing at all. Placebos often illicit real responces in real people, while imaginary drugs only illicit imaginary responces in imaginary people. I know this because my imaginary friend, who just so happens to be an imaginary medical doctor, told me.

Hmm. What would happen then if you took an object like a small balloon (I say like a balloon, because a regular latex balloon probably would not survive the process and it should be small to fit the tool below) and coated it with a rare earth magnet material like neodymium iron borohydride? You can pretty coat (like spray painting almost) things with this stuff in, for example, an ion beam coater or a sputter coater. I've successfully coated very small flat surfaces with Nd- Fe-Borohydride in this manner many times in order to make them magnetic .

An hour is definitely possible. Quote: ""Oxygen needs are much reduced when the body is cold, therefore a permanent brain damage from low oxygen states may not occur.

You might need to look that up in Aan STM Book of Standards in your technical library. Can't get at it via the internet w.o. a subscription. Unless someone out there has a copy (doubtful)....... Sorry I can't be of more help. Quote.

This is the best thread I've ever read and can't believe that it actually died. I've personally seen headless chickens run around for a minute or two and then flop around for 10 or 15 minutes. One thanksgiving morning, when I was just a kid, I even saw a big, mean tom turkey sans head achieve flight status. But it didn't go very far. It was a very happy day for me because he would chase me into a corner and flog me approximately every day for a couple of years. I resorted to carrying a leather bull whip with me everywhere to try to keep him off. I think he thought he was the dominant male, but I've still got my head and he doesn't. Well, that's all I have to say about headless things for now. I hope everyone else that hasn't read this thread enjoys it as much as I did.

Along those lines, a high frequency of ejaculation may actually reduce overall prostate cancer1, while there is an increase in prostate cancer in men with low levels of sexual activity2. But contrary to popular belief, prostate cancer mortality specifically in celibate priests is comparable to that of the general population2. 1. Leitzmann MF et al. Ejaculation frequency and subsequent risk of prostate cancer. JAMA 2004; 291: 1578-1586. 2. Ross RK et al. A cohort study of mortality from cancer of the prostate in Catholic priests. British Journal of Cancer 1981; 43: 223-235.

I thought it might be chlorine gas, but it looks like something less toxic.......... Quote: "MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEETSodium Hypochlorite 5-15% ..... ...... Hazardous Products of Decomposition..
