  1. My back yard? There are not very many places where the soil too polluted to grow fruit, I am sure there are some but you will have to be more specific, Heavy metals occur naturally in most of the planets soils and you would have to define what you mean by polluted.
  2. Head transplants now possible? Is the ultimate way to fight the aging of your body or a deranged bid to fight the inevitable? http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg22530103.700-first-human-head-transplant-could-happen-in-two-years.html#.VO9oR3zF-uJ
  3. I have watched the isle of man TT races on TV, I wish i had been there in person for some of those races, wild stuff... I once watched a flat track race and had one of the riders in my lap when he lost it and went into the crowd, good times...
  4. A map showing the number, place, and time of every nuclear explosion humans have detonated, 2053 total...
  5. I have scrubbed my knees while going around turns on a motorcycle, it takes special tires and suspension set up to lean that far,The best place to see this is during a motorcycle race, I like the superbike races..
  6. In case anyone is interested here is where c0nc0rdance is coming from citations: http://www.stat.yale.edu/~jtc5/papers/CommonAncestors/NatureCommonAncestors-Article.pdf http://www.stat.yale.edu/~jtc5/papers/Ancestors.pdf
  7. I am a long term motorcyclist counter steering is a way of life, i tend to lean into curves when I'm driving a car, so many hours of bike riding I guess, I've never really noticed a counter steering while riding a bicycle but I usually ride a bicycle very sedately compared to a motorcycle...
  8. Well she bumped into me... it started my love affair with octopus, I took her home and kept her, she was a trip...
  9. Then I apologize, but he really is a scientist, one of the few you personalities I know to be real scientists, in fact him and thunderf00t are the only two i am aware enough to say for sure they are. He does give more information about himself on his blog, papers cited and that sort of stuff. He also gives some citations for his videos as well but you have to visit his page to see them... I honestly did not see it that way, I thought he was pretty clear he was talking of men from that age, either they were the ancestor of everyone alive or no one alive, but since two here have corrected me and I have no way of arguing different I accept he was wrong and by extension i was wrong...
  10. I think cephalopods are a prime example of what aliens might be like, cuttlefish communicate with colors rippling over their bodies, maybe they are the aliens who colonised the earth millions of years ago and we just can't understand them.... I can honestly say that once while surf fishing, I had a quite large octopus crawl up out of the surf and literally crawl into me.. Several people saw it, it was really an odd thing...
  11. Being more than a little of an octopus fan and having kept quite a few and studied all I could get about them I have not read of any tropical octopus bigger than Octopus vulgaris which is the species i am most familiar with, the largest known octopus is the giant pacific octopus of the pacific northwestern US. biggest one ever found was http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/animals/invertebrates/giant-pacific-octopus/11.1 meters across. these giants are commonly caught and released as sport by humans... The only accredited specimen was quite a bit less, around 1/4 that size as far as weight. Let's just say i question the veracity of the link you gave...
  12. Here is where what you asked about was described, I apologize for not being as forthcoming as i should have been... The video and the video #2 in this series did indeed explain in great detail how such migration did indeed occur. My apologies for the 2nd video i thought it made the stance clearer from a racial point of view. C0nc0rdance is a well know youtube personality and research scientist, yes he does indeed do research for a living. It becomes obvious that the 2nd video adresses delboy's questions.
  13. Where do you get a cup of coffee for $.25? Citation needed...
  14. I think C0c0rdance made it pretty clear he was not literally saying JC as everyones ancestor, he was using him as an example of how pedigree collapse occurs before you go back very far in time.
  15. Actually our genes show this as well...
  16. If you had watched the video you would have noticed that your objection was addressed...
  17. I would love to know a bit about that octopus, where the video was taken, the species, enough specimens for both an experimental and control group. I have heard of octopus hunting rats on the wharfs in the tropics but i have never seen one move that quickly and confidently out of water. I have lots of questions on this one! I've had octopus move out of and into the water to pursue food, even travel through freshwater, that octopus had something quite different going on than any other octopus i have ever seen...
  18. No, they had a lot of technobabble on their page that sounded sciency, you listed to a Religious fundamentalist website that uses things like Mokele Mbembe as support for Noah's Ark and other fundy silliness. Cryptozoology has many supporters among the Creationist ilk and they use the possibility of living dinosaurs as proof of the Earth being less than 10,000 years old. Sadly in this contest Mokele Mbembe has quite a bit to do with religion....
  19. As much fun as Mokele Mbembe is to say i think you are probably going to have to do better than the ICR for a citation. You are dealing with people who have an agenda and science has nothing to do with that agenda. I think you should stick to bigfoot, at least religion has no stake in proving bigfoot correct...
  20. Why is religion necessary to have empathy understanding and progress?
  21. If you warmed Titan up you would have to keep in mind it is an ice world, thousands of miles of ice over a rock core, all you would get is a water world with no land area...
  22. We almost made it as a species, almost managed to actually be civilized, I'd like to think a few pockets of our species made it to threshold of being civilized beings but it hardly matters now. The downhill slide back to something ever more distant from civilization might be slow but i doubt it, I am probably too old to see the slide pick up too much speed but the curve has begun it's unstoppable downward turn. There were a few rays of hope, the enlightenment being the brightest...

      Unity, Man was led down that path and Good Men should have grown a pair and fought instead of hoping someone else would fight for them!

      If we're "intolerant of intolerance", we'll destroy eachother.

  23. How do you tell the difference between the two?
