Quote HistoryQuoted:
Sometimes I think about people I know now and wonder if I was ever randomly around them before knowing them. For example, one day my wife and I were talking about our visits to Disney World when we were kids. I was 8 and she was 6. We figured out that we were there about a week apart and stayed in the same hotel. We were from different states and met in our mid 20's. And we lived in the same city for a couple years before meeting. Went to a lot of the same places. Were we beside each other in traffic? Barely missing each other in the grocery aisle? That kind of stuff is crazy to think about. Maybe that other driver you yelled at this morning will be your wife, or boss, or friend one day. |

Okay, this one goes back to when I was a kid.
You know how if you shine a flashlight onto a mirror, it will reflect the light and the light spot will show up on another wall? Okay, with that in mind... What if you were in a room where the floor, ceiling and all four walls were covered 100% in mirrors....and you then turned on a flashlight. What would happen? Also, what if instead of a flashlight, you used a laser pointer? |

It just so happens both of our families moved to Colorado when we were young. If either family had even decided to move to a different part of town we most likely never would have met. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Kind of odd, but it happened to me, the prostate exam by a female physician's assistant. I was a cop at the time and the county I worked for provided all cops/fireman a free total physical exam. Everything: blood pressure, joint reaction, height, weight, blood test, hearing, prostate, etc. I think I was worried about it so much that I didn't get a boner. I'm mean, I was married and had kids. But, it was also over very fast. Not like she was wiggling it around, which also made me suspicious that I didn't get a proper prostate exam. But, I couldn't imagine having to go before internal affairs about having a boner during my "county employee physical" and explain it. The 'worry' scared me enough. |

I have thought about this in depth. I have zero answer for where bread came from. Still a mystery. If you don't get the proportions of ingredients just right, you're fucked. More frightening is bovine. All the way back to the earliest recorded human history, cows were cultivated, but I have never seen any evidence of wild cows in ancient texts. I'm talking about herds of Holsteins wandering the country side ... yet steak is the most divine of foods. Blows my mind. |

A lot o' people don't realize what's really going on. They view life as a bunch o' unconnected incidents 'n things. They don't realize that there's this, like, lattice o' coincidence that lays on top o' everything. Give you an example; show you what I mean: suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.

You can't actually see anything. All you can "see" is light that reflects off of whatever it is you are "looking" at. In fact you can't even "see" that light, you can only perceive the neural impulses as interpreted by your brain, after stimulation of receptors in your eyes, and you can change that process with any number of chemicals and so, how do you know that your senses are reliable? Are you sure? Your dog thinks everything is B&W with some blue shades, yet it can get along pretty well.

What would happen? Also, what if instead of a flashlight, you used a laser pointer? Unfortunately, IRL, the glass isn't perfect, the reflective coating isn't perfect, it isn't a perfect vacuum between the surfaces, etc, and even if they were, remember the cube square law of distance for the flashlight, and for a laser, it's not a perfect laser, so it's not perfectly coherent light. 99.99997% is still not 100%. A one centimeter neon laser is something like 18" when it hits the moon, IIRC. Remember one of the Apollo missions left a reflector up there, which we use to measure how far the moon gets farther away every year. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
My great great grandma was born in 1887 on a subsistence farm in Alabama and died in 1985, a few months shy of her 102nd birthday. She had three sets of grandparents, two white, one black, with the black grandparents formerly being the property of one of her sets of white grandparents. She learned to ride a horse and buggy at a young age, but refused to learn how to drive cars, which became the norm by her 50's. She died in the era of space shuttles and personal computers. She outlived all of her children, which numbered around 15. Imagine growing up on a subsistence farm, raised by a civil war veteran, and dying in the era of color TV and moon landings. Considering technology appears to be evolving exponentially, I wonder what stories we'll be telling our grandchildren. It is interesting to me, how certain historic events were not all that long ago in the grand scheme of things. I am in my mid-fifties. I am the youngest child of a couple that didn't get married until my dad was in his late thirties. My parent's grandfathers had fought in the American Civil War and they met them. Their grandfathers were in combat using muzzleloading rifles. When my mother was just out of high school, she worked in a telegraph office where messages were sent and received using Morse code, and she lived long enough to see email and texting. My mother's father, was a WW 1 vet. I have a picture of him on the day he got back from WW 1, with my mother in a stroller and he is standing there in uniform with a trench coat and a 1911 in a holster. When I was a kid, the guy that lived two houses away was a WW 1 vet. |

Is this accurate? I always thought that we simply didn't have the receptors. Never considered that the lens was filtering out the UV.
