Just research heavily that its completly inert and not toxic.... The heavist element you could find with gold or platnum plated would be pretty neat. It would have that frodo/ring of power feeling to it.

I knew id catch some flak on this one. Let me clarify, you have to use alittle bit of philosophy... The summary from wikipedia: "In quantum physics, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle states that locating a particle in a small region of space makes the momentum of the particle uncertain; and conversely, that measuring the momentum of a particle precisely makes the position uncertain." summary Definition of luck from wikipedia: "Luck (also called fortunity) is a chance happening, or that which happens beyond a person's control" If luck is chance, it negates a persons freewill, Aswell it could be considerd to negate the universes freewill, and could be placed in the realm of destiny... this Depends highly on what you consider luck to imply... As to HUP, if it didnt exist we would still be debating: "could you see all time frames, back and forth in entirity, in a given sytem to which you could compute?" Which would imply destiny if answerd yes... the dominos would have been set during the big bang... and they keep toppling, and they would keep toppling, exactly in the manner they were set, theorys like quantum foam and of random fluctions would still be able to negate this however....

The hizenberg uncertinty principal can apply to Destiny vs. Freewill. That being said, there could be luck, but there will always be the illusion that there is none.

Well kinda... You would see alot of wierd behaviors, there hood ordements would get really neat, and maybe way down the line you get to see a species of grazers take its first bite of animal flesh (maybe not so far down the line)... Either way listening to Peter Cayote would be more exciting.

Perhaps what you meant is a higher propensity to diversify across same numbers of generations? Perhaps due to higher brain structures allowing new niches to be exploited, and increasingly dynamic enviorment since KT requiring new niches to be exploited. They are called lower animals for a reason, the latter two really are better adapted for an archeo enviorment Yeh, someone already pointed it out... Think body plan not size or looks. Why is a cetaceans tail fin horizontal and not vertical like fish? Insects are the most diverse as to body plans... This can be attributed to there fast turnover (generations) Crocadiles Specifically and turtles somewhat... Fill a very narrow niche and have gotten quite good at it.. Take them away and they are very unfit. In general apperance somewhat true, there are many anatomical differences from the fossil record, and we know almost nothing in terms of physiology. 65 my is along time, we kinda had a fresh start, were not young (idiana jones said "it aint the years its the milage")... make a lion t-rex size, which is scarier? Theres alot about mammals that is unique, basically things got better, I doubt dinousars had the highly specialized nervous systems birds do, nor alot of other things about them... We are higher animals

You could do it with eugenics on most species... though there life would be less comfortable (shorter,painfull) for many many (alot for the anatomy) generations.... Before humanity comes around to this, will be able to grow meatbags from the cieling and the jains will rejoice.

SUPA STONER TO THE RESCUE! looks like this thread got off track, let me answer some of the original questions presented. 1. Hemp's native land is dry, and at some elevation... the crystals (not just thc) aid to prevent transpiration, aswell as provide some UV protection. 2. The crystals are sticky and aid defense to insects (traps them to die) 3. The crystals are sticky (and infact grow on what becomes the seed pod) and aid in catching male pollin. 4. The idea that it evolved as a poision is far from true. Animals are attracted to the smell, and attracted back to consume more by the Reward (good vibes:D) The idea that THC is toxic is wrong, toxic level is 50% of body wieght pure THC (ive always wonderd how they new the chimp didnt die of the infusion, 50% body wieght infusion of saline could easily kill) 5. Mainpoint on #4 is its a dispertion stratigy... Hempseed is very tough and passes through the digestive tract of most grazers realitivly unharmed... The secondary point to #4 is the bud is low caloric.. that is why its very oderfull and Requires additional reward motivation. As for Azurepheniox... I wish i was here when you were active (sexualy..jk:eyebrow:). I too have had many life expirences. Learning from such and being candide about them is indeed part of growing up. Learning from books, about other people, how your words will be interperted and how to shape them properly is just as important (weeds DISTROYED my mind... its now just a run-on sentence). If you were tackling any other drug it would have been much easier... The most depressing fact about it all is this. There are 2 psychoactive cannibiods, there are dozens more not so. Cannibiods have very unique effects on the body (to much to go into). The non-pschoactive chemicals have more promise in medicine then medical marijuana. Criminilization of marijuana has held back the studies ALOT... it wasent but a few years ago they discoverd the endogenous receptor site... You do sound a bit like a cokehead, its probaby just cuz your young... It was very insightfull to say sex is like "fight or flight"... its actually better, its also "feed and breed" (sympathetic/parasympathetic)... It also strongly activates dopamine reward pathways, so does cheese, rollercoasters, drugs, back rubs, shopping... anything that makes you happy. Cocaine activates these pathways and plays with dopamine more than any other drug. That is, to be addicted to something that makes you happy is closest to cocaine, but everyone is addicted to being happy... Except monks who strive to remove this. Check out my new insight, just came in from outerspace.... The munchies seriously helps the dispertion stratigy.... Its not uncommon for plants to use that version. One of the benifits of this is the manuer it is dispersed with (nuetrients)... BUT THE MUNCHIES.... thats alot of crap (nuetrients) 15 minutes later EDIT #2..... I also realized some of this is evidence for it being somewhat harmless, Atleast for a rabbit that eats it... Doing direct harm wouldent be very symboitic... like a flower that gets a honeybee so drunk he cant fly home... 2 Hours later EDIT #3... I forgot that THC doesent pass well by itself into the blood via the digestive route. Digestive tracts of grazers are different, not sure how it would effect this.

I think this will be when technology takes over, or we become integrated with it... the human mind is not incapable, but it would take along time... So long, weed be way past "grey alien" in terms of evolving into something different. An extreme of this is to organic life. It can only exist in set circumstances, and it reacts to selective forces in predictible ways.. Real simply stated.. if you unstood theses forces (quadrillions) through observation and statistics, and understood the circumstances (trillions)... You could use a supercomputer to do all your Exobiology, aswell as learn more about dinosuars then from the fossil record.. Exobiologist are already famous for these types of predictions. Its kinda like asking.. Will all the songs ever be sung? and all the symphonies written? well no, that would occupy more energy then is in our universe, but all the good ones... yes.

I am familiar with this, I should clarify.. That and much I said was an indirect reference to paleo-eccology. Its a pretty interesting theory, with alot of good science, but like this guy its somewhat ignorant. that is to the fossils youll find with the fossil fuels... even with oil, theres trace chemical fossils. People shouldent use Internet forums so much as a textbook. I think there main purpose is to engage in active discourse, and spot new/interesting elements you would have otherwise been unaware of... For example I learned a new word "Furphy"... translation: water coolery. Threads like that are great in archive, but are often so clogged with ideas/statments its difficult to attract new egos.

Well I only went to Algebra 1, and ive avoided math since... ill put in my uneducated guess..... (noones been able to answer my simple realitivy questions anyways) If your variable is random, it could be solved in a fixed frame, but not predicted in a floating equation... In a solution: if there is a varible of radom nature... it will indeed be random... To statistics: the more non-radom varibles you add to the equation, the less radom (to statisics!, fractional discernability).. I think the proof would be one of those long hard to understand ones, I think i made up words with this one, sorry.

Thank you for the clarification... This scares me... Ive seen some mold grow in my house. I never expected it to be Extraordinarly dangerous, becuase there are many non-dangerous cultures, and Ive been around it alot and never felt a symptom.... 1) What is the progression of fungul lung infections? 2) How good are modern-day Anti-fungal treatments?, major side-effects?. Dont worry about it if i went outside you realm... you sound atleast an RT.

VERY TRUE! Anyone who has seriosly grown knows that simply trays+inserts+peat sponges (rapid rooters) and of course some cloning gel (powder works, not aswell) far exeeds soil in terms of growth and efficiancy.... Keeping the water level low is good too, only the tips of the roots really need to be wet.

Hmm... Infusing Air into the water is the mainpoint of Hydroponics.... You have a "Air pump/air stone" get the roots close as posible to the bubbles/Airated water... Decaying organics will provide some nuetrients, but its a 50gal tank your probably going to run low on concintrations... Theres alot of nuetrients out there, but i would be concerned what they would do to your fish/turtle. It also depends highly on the amount of light they will get.... Low nuetrient concintrations are good for rooting... you could use this just to grow roots and then transplant to soil, just gotta keep finding more plants ... P.S. Im so jealous MANGO TREES!

Ill only comment on the HIV portion (Thats a bible dude!) HIV main Defenses to any treatment are: 1)An extreme Ability to Replicate 2)An extremly poor ability to Replicate That is Hiv is like a rabbit on viagra... When it gets into those T-cells... "Wow thats alot of HIV" At the same time HIV sucks at making copies of itself, there riddled with errors, the code comes out slightly different every time... Meaning: There were HIV that were risistant to the Electrical therapy... Blame darwin, and its qualitys, but it will survive and become every increasingly risistant to the treatment. Though that ligand channel is the course of much study.....

"However, my conviction arises from a careful study of the evidence. Can you then explain to me how you could have been engaged with the evidence yet not know that the IPCC is the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change - the very body that collated and considered the evidence and reached the conclusion that climate change is real and important? If I were arguing the counter postion here, I'd shred and dice you over that one." Simply becuase everyone thought id be great at my mock trial... This was not so, the judge threw all my great arguments out on hersay basis (becuase I didnt present it properly) This stems from an early obbsesion with unified feild theory, thankfully i realized quick I didnt have the conviction (or the smarts) to sit in my attic staring at chalkboard for my entire life. It contiuned in later life for love of the "big picture" that is things seemingly unrealated accross many feilds are analogus to each other. I dont need to hear form commitie what I already know. The fact is Evidence from a wide array of fields was pointing towards are position for along time (there are many varing degrees of this position). I threw all that crap out from my head, If he was well read he would know what i was talking about. That is the fact that to argue against... You would be arguing against 20-100 major points across many fields. The smoking gun was the ice cores. Ive seen this from a dozen sources, and i knew anyone arguing against our position would have to argue against the ICE CORES. As i said theres alot of evidence behind this aswell... Rocks dont lie, fossils dont lie, and niether to ICE CORES (there can be misinterpertation though) I skimmed the Essay too. The biggist factor (i think) he talk of was Solute concintration in regards to tempiture... This has some effect, but can be considerd a trivial factor, aswell he ignored Cuase/Effect to such. I get pissed when people debate using "hard science", when they ignore the hard science on the other side... That is anything that a "Hard scientist" would consider to change Academic opinion on this subject... Would be a 200 page Compact/consolidated, aswell as conspiracy/evidence of misinturpertation/ Or alot of money spent to resample data.

Im freaking sick of this crap. I hear goerge norey have a closed mind. I almost droped to my knees (i was driving) and begged for art bell to return (he would call the loonies out yet remain scentifically objective) Im not going to click on that link until you answer the following questions. This was a shameless plug you deserve as such. 1) Contradict Ice core data apon Co2 relation to average global tempiture. 2) How familar are you with Palentology, goechemisty (oil is a fossil). Damn curiosity! I clicked that link. "There is no evidence that the Earth as a whole is getting warmer at a rate which will have a severe impact on the environment as proposed by the IPCC." Rebutt:No idea what IPCC is, define your rate, define "severe impact" Explain that we shoudlent think as to socrates may have thought of us... "There is no evidence that carbon dioxide has any impact on the climate, and abundant evidence that it does not." Rebutt: See above questions. Define "Evidence" if you have to. "Real science says that carbon dioxide is essential for the good health of both the biosphere and the atmosphere. Rebutt: True in many ways (see above post) as to dinosaurs, the carboniforius, palentologic canopys higher than californias redwoods... ) If we all grew hydro (+water piplines, and top notch socio-logistics, global cooperation).... global warming would not be a problem, but a benifit... Is this gonna happen? "controlling greenhouse gas emissions will have no impact on the climate." Very True, even perhaps to a baby born today, what of thier children? can we accuratly measure Co2 concitrations? what of the ice-cores from pre-industrial civilization? may it take 20 or 200 years is of no concern to the philosophers/futurists/humanists. "The idea that scientists, unable to predict the weather a week ahead with any accuracy, are able to confidently predict climate outcomes in 20 and 30 years time, is plainly ridiculous." Rebutt: this is pure rhetoric... Weather is to a uncontrolled fusion reaction, and difficult to pridict gravitional trajectorys... Long term climate change is to gas concintrations, geochemical batterys of such... and to variables regulated by the lowest life forms, heavenly bodys, geologic phenominon (internal fission "Possibly"/Radiant thermodynamic sources) EDIT: To which from clasiical thinking shoud be decreasing, unless under unknow circumstance. "As a retired scientist" rebutt: Ditch the ego, take this from a drunk jew. You sound like a politition... Great words mean nothing unless there to specific thoughts (**** the common audience they wont vote anyways) "a deep concern that the Government is about to embark on a politically and economically disastrous course with a totally unreliable compass and for no sound reason." Rebutt: fair enough. Whats your conspirency theory of all these scientists scewing data/facts? I applogize to any offense... I drink to much (dont be encouraged)... oh and the jew thing (flooding you with questions, and aggressive discourse). I think i might get around to a post "how to combat the Crystalizing mind" later, you should keep a heads up, im having problems with this.

Im not sure, I very recently read on this though.... It consumes the Milkweed as a SELECTIVE TRAIT TO BECOME POISONES.... Other than that, watch the princes bride.... You should get a good laugh, its a funny movie (sword fights/front flips/andree the giant/the grand nagus/fred savage)... Best way to trick a scicilian anyways.... I have heard of snake handlers being somewhat immune... but ive also heard of chinese emporers who thought mercury was the fountian of youth.....

I found it!... kinda. From wikipedia on Claude Pouillet "Between 1837 and 1838 he made, independently of John Frederick William Herschel (1792-1871), the first quantitative measurements of the heat emitted by the Sun" I messed up, I shoulda thought "heat" not output... Still cant find a direct link to the story, like I said "vague". There were alot of hits from google-books, but those crash my comp. Now I know where to go, if im ever a teacher. Great expirement for its time.

Gosh I love that tittle, I thought it was gonna be about your new pistol. Congrats.

I always was able to eat whatever I wanted and got away with it... I still do, when i have the money im "supersize me". I never drank much up until a year ago, I was more of a pothead, still would be if I had the cash, Intoxications a filthy feeling for me.. First Cig at age 7, but not much up until 19, for 3 years ive been at about a pack-a-day (terrible). Ive tried Vicodin and shrooms on a few occasions, I seem really tolerant to those drugs. When i was 13 i was perscribed adderol, it gave me a psychotic/depressive episode.. Ive never wanted to think about putting anything like that in my body again. Recently 2 of my best freinds became stim-heads and completly changed, almost to the point I dont want to know them anymore... I think those are the worst.

0-13: Lawer, doctor, jet pilot, astronought, pornstar, 4 star general, the president. 13-16: Proffesional skier, finding love. 16-17: Network administrator 17-18: Electronic/classical music composer, political commentator. 18-20: Firefighter/paramedic so i could sit on my ass all day like daddio. 21: Emergency Physician, nuerophysiologist, Entertained the thought of mma/boxing. 22: Historian, Archivist, Cultivator of knowledge... Thinking maybe teaching is what i would enjoy/make a contribution... Not english though 23: (the future) building a cabin in the middle of nowhere and becoming a hemit.

Yeh Im a dummy, I wouldent know the diffrence between conjecture, and equation... I did some searching... The only thing reminicent is 6174, and the collatz conjecture, not that its realated, just struck some bells... Its like a majic number,conjecture, equation, or I THINK A PROPERTY OF A NUMBER... The story went like this guy basically stumbled apon it, he didnt know why it worked, and knowone else ever did either... but it worked very beatifully. Coulda just been a poorley written article. 1950's and japanese mathmatician are very inclusive... Im in it for the history. It may have been more related to Physics or Any other science... Its definatly math, but i dont read on math very much, I do on mysterys though.

I cant remember man... its really distant (3 minute of 2 years ago) Maybe Statisics or Algebra... not so possibly game theory... Those that have heard of it... should have rememberd "wow wierd", maybe thats cuz im a dummy in the area... It gives you a feeling of Fermats.... The biggest thing I remember is Japanese mathmetician, and discovery around 1950'-1970's, maybe computer theory....

"unique surgical instruments and procedures used and her ability to describe in detail these events while she was clinically and brain dead." The brain does funny things, I once read a article by a nuerologist attempting to explain the light at the end of the tunnel... It made some sense. She may have rememberd in any number of fashions, people that are out... Really arent so out... Theres the story of the paramedics that ran a cardiac arrest on this guy, he was unconsious there whole dealing with him... then at the hospital later... he knows all there names (the ears shut off last). I tend to consider these a type of "super dream state" Sensory functions are very inhibited but theres still something there... Things are picked up, and then the blanks are filled in by the brain... Somewhat Analogus to which a trait I inherited from my father... I can talk in my sleep, not just talk, but respond to questions.... I learned of this from other people, as to which i dont often remember... I did once, what people were saying just came to me in a dream form, just as any other dream. The best NDE expirements would be very risky.... As for the brain activity.... How sensitive is there equipment? How many individual nuerons (detecting MV charges through a pot roast!) have to fire to cause memory/elements of consioness?

Im pretty certin its was a japanese mathmetician, formed an equation that works, knowone knows why it works so well, its a bit of an unsolved problem.. The back story: Reading on wikipedia a few years ago, I think I was reading on unsolved problems, ive been back there since and cant seem to find it... As many will find out, im into the big picture, not so great at specifics.
