I just like the look of this guy.

Here is another link that is interesting. I still can't believe that there are people this ignorant out there. Then again...I like how one of the articles claims "Evolution is stupid!" Mature and very evolved.

Are you feelin' satisfied, come on let us give your mind a ride.

Well come on,
All you people,
The time has come to get together...
You gotta have a little rock 'n' roll music
To get you through the stormy weather
And do whatever you feel,
When you let go...
Nothin's gonna help you more than rock 'n' roll...

(So come on,) put you hands together,
(Yeah, come on)
Put you hands together,
(Come on)
You know it's now or never
Take a chance on rock 'n' roll...

This is your brain, this is a spider, this is your spider on drugs.

NASA is at it again. Combining the mundane mind meanderings of college frat boys and really cool science, NASA has done a study of the effects of drugs on spiders. Much more safe than the effects of gasoline on fire, this study is an outstanding representation of the neurological outcomes of drug use. Using the spiders web-building to observe the drugs influence researchers are able to predict what will happen to humans.

and here is Canada's use of the research:

Brain Washing subtly thrown out the window

I was doing some random word searches just to keep the mind fresh and not study for finals. (Like I should be doing now). I was surfing through thefreedictionary. com, when I thought about the word 'warmonger.' I don't know why, this is just what happens with ADD. So, this is what turned up. What struck me as the most disturbing was the picture down near the Thesaurus entry. Yeah, this one:
Does this bother anyone else?

Also check out the pictures for: progressive
meliorist (the crusader is just too funny)
zealot (is that carrying a stone wheel?)
evolution (that's some great math skills there)
and duty
Personally, I don't believe that responsibility and duty are a burden. They have always been a natural and reasonible part of existing. Of course maybe I have just been studying for Philosophy 110 way too much or maybe I like the idea of autonomy( which I don't think the picture really captures the sense of the word, Monty Python did it better). Maybe I'm optimistic.

Before there was Thanksgiving, before there was Halloween, there was...CHRISTMAS!!


Before there was Thanksgiving, before there was Halloween, there was...CHRISTMAS!! Already ever place is decorated for the winter holidays. It started as a way to encourage consumers to buy earlier and beat the holiday rush, but now it has grown into this huge enterprise to encourage overall more consumption. No one needs that much crap for Christmas. Not unless there is Boxing Day, which here in America we don't have. We really should,though, because in my humble opinion Boxing Day is outstripping Christmas in ethical and moral meaning. For those of you Americans who are ignorant of this wonderful day it is this: The day after Christmas a family will take presents and a meal (not of leftovers or of unwanted socks, bunny suits, or re-gifts) and find a less fortunate family to give it too. The gifts are left anonymously. That was the essence of Christmas, but know that essence has been pushed to the day after in European countries and seemingly forgotten in the states. I propose Boxing Day in the States. A New Year's Resolution and a Good Will Towards Mankind.

Things that are highly improbable, but obviously not impossible

I really hate it when people state that something is impossible. For as infinite as the multi-verse is everything would have to be possible. Otherwise it would be really boring and very limited. I guess people feel better knowing that life has limits and rules that must be followed. If everything was possible in one spot in the universe, it would be crazy. Several billion beings would have to be existing in my fingernail. I have a hard enough time remembering to clip them as it is. What really bothers me though, are those who can only see two choices: black and white, right and wrong, damned and blessed. There are always more than two choices. There are not just poor choices and good choices. There are selfish choices, there are selfless choices, there is the choice to do nothing, to do everything, to just say, "Fuck This, I know what to do other than this." For example: Abortion. So far it seems that the only choices are Pro-Life and Pro-Choice. What about the other options? Yes, there is abstinence, but you're not thinking Bohemian enough. What about better birth control? How about realizing not everyone can be happy at the same time without sacrificing complete and utter joy for everyone forever and ever? This shall be continued later.
