Immortal, all I am asking for is empirical evidence, not belief, faith or opinions and not interpretations of science that twist the science to support your notions. Twisting scripture to fit science or twisting science to fit scripture is not a tenable position and makes your assertions automatically weak if not simply wrong...

It's quite obvious that you don't know what being informed is...

Pot kettle black immortal....

Come on John, are going to play dueling links now? I can match yours tit for tat almost certainly... http://www.amnation.com/vfr/archives/023472.html During WW2 at least two people fell out of airplanes with no parachutes from 25,000 feet and survived... does that make you want to jump from an airplane with no parachute? I am sure that some muggers are wusses, cowards looking for little old ladies, but most are not. I've been mugged three times in my life, i fought back all three times and got my ass kicked all three times. only intervention from by standers keep me from being seriously injured... all muggers are not wusses...

Fish scales ground into a fine powder and applied to a sheet of glass might do the trick...

You are obviously unaware of just how much is known about the past...

But "neanderthal" is not the simplest answer, in fact it is a very complicated, first of all neanderthals are extinct... There are no extant individuals of Homo neanderthalensis http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neanderthal The last traces of neanderthals was found in southern Spain, they never migrated to north america.. Bigfoot, or at least the descriptions of bigfoot do not in anyway resemble neanderthals, you are barking up the wrong tree. This tree makes more sense but is still highly improbable... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigantopithecus

Why no bodies King? Why no road kills? Why no hunters killing one and bringing it in? What do they eat in the winter? Why can't infra red cameras pick them up? Why???

John I sincerely hope you never have to add another point to your running a mugger way curve but while some muggers may scare off easily rest assured that most are hardened criminals and they are dangerous. Your dismissal of muggers due to one anomalous experience is not justified...

King, you are not being reasonable, while there is a non zero possibility that someplace some lone neanderthal, the last of his kind is sitting in some remote cave it is highly improbable, while humans have not officially explored every square inch of the planet officially humans do indeed cover the entire planet and no trace of neanderthals have been found for 28,000 years. Trying to equate bigfoot and neanderthals is just silly...

John, do you really think your experience with one mugger is significant?

Being interested is not the same as doing it...

No not really... No evidently not... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_Mallett You really didn't read this one did you?

Well for that to be significant you would first have to establish that alien space ships actually exist but to travel between stars can be accomplished by generational slow ships... Evidence please... Evidence please...

Semjase, i suggest you read the rules, even in speculations you have to back up your claims and you are not providing anything but unsupported claims as evidence, such claims are not evidence...

No, eye witnesses are not empirical evidence... No neanderthals exist.... It is rare but occasionally things do pop up, mostly small creatures, but no trace of neanderthals have been found for 28,000 years, I don't expect to see one show up in the pacific northwest any time soon... King, yes i will admit that a few neanderthals could hide someplace like the pacific northwest... but not a breeding population. A breeding population would have to consist of thousands of individuals, just a few would not be able to maintain their numbers over time...

Agreed, it is just a name, doesn't mean they have to used that way, mostly it refers to the gun being designed for use in close combat which makes them "ideal" for use indoors... all except for that pesky killing someone next door due to bullets going through walls thingy. They are fun to shoot I have to admit that...

Exactly what has the gun been smoking?

And your point would be what?

I thought your name looked familiar... Semjase, this stuff was horse feathers 40 years ago (when i was really into UFOs), it is horse feathers now, and 40 years from now it will still be horse feathers... It smacks of racism, tries to elevate Caucasians above everyone else on the earth, makes the impossible assertion that humans and life forms from another world can interbreed, that in of it's self falsifies the entire idea, it's an outdated hoax that tried to appeal to the idea that white people are somehow special, nearer to the angels, and the old guy who took the pics was hoaxer, his space ships were clunky and not very realistic...

"Trillions" of animals do it in freshwater rivers and lakes too but we still have to filter and process it before we pump it back in. Near shore habitats in many areas are already so polluted from run off water that swimming has to be suspended and shell fishing had to stop. Near shore marine habitats are the source of much of our seafood and easily polluted. Another problem that would be a deal breaker as well is the larvae of various fouling organisms that would soon fill up the pipes unless you filtered the sea water very finely and even then a few would almost certainly get through, pipes full of sponges and sea squirts would be a problem. Intake pipes in the ocean foul even quicker as well. So such water would have to be filtered before it was used. Chlorinating sea water is of course possible but that adds yet another layer of expense that would make it no better than freshwater.

Yup, the salt is what you are missing. once you "use" the water what do you do with it? If you are going to pump it back into the ocean you will have to filter it just like they do freshwater sewage...

If you can get a sheet of polycarbonate, 1/4" thick should do it, the polycarbonate is opaque to UV, it will cast an almost solid shadow with a black light UV.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence... What you present as evidence is horse feathers...

Yes, I will state that the USA has used it's nuclear arsenal to deter attack by other nations many many times over, why is this difficult to understand? I might get laughed out of the room if I threatened a gun and didn't have one. You don't pull a gun until you have no other choice, once you pull a gun a sequence of events is set in play that can be unstoppable... I wouldn't laugh at someone who used the threat of a gun to prevent the necessity of pulling one out, it's the mark of a cautious man... I have very little patience for John Wayne wannabes who want to wave their piece around at the slightest provocation... John, real guard dogs are difficult to raise, keep, and can be dangerous, my dogs are not guard dogs, they are pets, but they can and will intimidate strangers just because they bark so boisterously when they see strangers... and friends too for that matter but I can tell from the tone of their bark who or what they are barking at. I think of my dogs as pets first and warning dogs second... Again i would like to state that I do not keep automatic military style weapons, i see no reason to have one and I think hand guns, if allowed at all should be very difficult to get and carry. Since this is a totally subjective statement I have no problem disagreeing with you on this and this does point to the root of the problem, it is a totally subjective subject. When you pick up your kids in the family car after school they are literally many orders of magnitude in more danger than they are from a lone crazy shooting them at school. If someone suggested that eliminating personal vehicles would save the lives of hundreds if not thousands of children every year would you give up your car? Hell i can't do anything to ya as long as your outside... so come on in!
