duck's quacks don't echo

well it was interesting until i came to my senses

[Smackhead Kangaroo]

Actually there was pseudo science program(me?) called er I forget what it was called,
but it tested whether ducks quacks echoed and they do. so nerr
I wonder how such a ridiculous claim came to be?
Similarly they found that to break into a safe you have to do more than -
Drop it a great height
smash it with stock cars
cut at it with the Fire brigade using oxyacetalene (sp?) torches.

In the end they used a challenger 2 tank.

I've just read on secret military site:  http://secret.com/ (it may look like a deodorant site but I've cracked the code - it's scary shit!!
Muswell Hill is being targeted for testing on bringing corpses back to life so if you see people giving you funny looks well they're probably test subjects so just stay well clear of them.  You've been warned.

I hate things like that which mean absolutely bugger all. Yeah a stock car didn't smash it open but why would it, it's probably made from a weaker metal than the safe because racing cars obviously have to be light. Similarly with the dropping from a great height, when was the last time someone snapped a piece of strong metal in half or put a hole in it, by dropping it from somewhere? It's like on Top Gear recently when they tried to prove how "tough" a Toyota pickup was - apparently it deserved god-like status because it survived being on top of a building which was being demolished, and a load of other things which you wouldn't expect to be terminal for a pickup truck. It's meaningless, everything has a weakness and to show how tough it is you've got to expliot that... if it still survives then that's amazing. Smashing at a pickup repeatedly with a sledgehammer won't render it undriveable but let me at it with a small pair of kitchen scissors and I'll soon make sure you can't drive it without replacing any parts (which was the rule for the Top Gear thing).

That has to be one of the most difficult questions I've ever had to answer.  Um.  Can I get back to you on this?

Ditto.  It's a good question, innit?

...O and the sea the sea crimson sometimes like fire and the glorious sunsets and the figtrees in the Alamdea gardens yes and all the queer little streets and pink and blue and yellow houses and the rosegardens and the jessamine and geraniums and cactuses and Gibralter as a girl where I was a Flower of the mountain yes when I put the rose in my hair like the Andalusian girls used or shall I wear a red yes and how he kissed me under the Moorish wall and I thought well as well him as another and then I asked him with my eyes to ask again yes and then he asked me would I yes to say yes my mountain flower and first I put my arms around him yes and drew him down to me so he could feel my breasts all perfume yes and his heart was going like mad and yes I said yes I will Yes.

Actually, it's a double-edged sword. If you stroke a spider long enough you will go bald too.

A few years ago ('97 I think), this bloody great buoy got washed ashore on the beach just in front of the house where I used to live.



We'd been able to see it coming in for hours, but couldn't work out what it was.  This incident, combined with the fragrant smokey haze in the room, made it a very interesting afternoon....

You probably felt like you were in a Pertwee-era Doctor Who episode.

(If you've seen any of them, that is.)

Eventually, just enough Psychology Students will exist to prevent all and any genuine self introspection. This is either terrifying or some kind of utopia.

[Cerys]

I'd go with terrifying.  Introspection is fun.

Yes... I think the unpedictable/surreal (I hate to use this word, but it's the only one i can think of to explain myself!) things that happen in life can be what makes life worth living.

....and the start of Autumn

....and the 'Jam' episode where the couple make a press-room appeal for their missing child and turn it into a jolly little song.(one of the few moments when Jam lived up to Blue Jam)

.....that would be another good subject: What is your favorite Chris Morris moment...anyone fancy it? (I've started too many dodgy discussions lately!)

I think that was on the old site - but by all means start it again here.

the most interesting thing i've ever watched i think is the godfather. purely because there's so many layers and themes to it that it can be watched over and over again, plus there's the incredible story behind it's making, and the stories of everyone involved

the most interesting thing i've ever read was a link almost yearly posted, detailing all the bad habits of pretty much every celebrity ever.

Hehe Sheep, there's some real scoops to be had at that site...

Astaire, Fred. Linked with Ginger Rogers.
Agassi, Andre. Linked with Brooke Shields (his ex-wife)
Al Fayed, Dodi. Linked to Princess Diana
Beckham, David.  Married to Posh Spice.

(and the biggest scoop of all):

Love, Courtney. Widow of Kurt Cobain. Given to revealing skin during her live shows. Former drug user; may still be overusing prescription drugs and alcohol and even the harder stuff. Can be hard to work with.

Hahhaaaaa this bit has made me laugh my knuckles off though:

Berry, Chuck. Voyeur and likes playing with poo

Of all the insults...

[Bert]

I found out yesterday that, when my boss sits in the staff room doing crosswords in magazines, he does so purely because he likes the idea that the owners of said magazines will return to them to do the crosswords, find them already completed and be pissed off.

[Bert]

First double post of the new forum?

[gazzyk1ns]

That's one impressive double post Bert, it took 15 minutes to do!

[Cerys]

Excellent!

Cruise, Tom. Oh, definitely not a Friend Of Dorothy. Why would you ever think such a thing? No, certainly not. And he definitely doesn't force his gay lovers to sign lengthy non-disclosure contracts before he gets involved with them; that's just a vile, untrue rumor started to bring shame on this quite emphatically heterosexual movie star. Certainly not someone who has and enjoys sex with lots of men. One would never hear Mr. Cruise described as "awkward and inarticulate" when speaking without a script, and certainly never hear him described as "vain, shallow, and pretentious." No, certainly not--the reverse is true of Mr. Cruise!

Ha ha ha!!

The only interesting thing I can think of right now is this:

It's an extract from a thing called 'Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars'.

"The following document, dated May 1979, was found on July 7, 1986, in an IBM copier that had been purchased at a surplus sale."
-- "Behold a Pale Horse", Milton William Cooper, pg 36

DIVERSION, THE PRIMARY STRATEGY

Experience has proven that the simplest method of securing a silent weapon and gaining control of the public is to keep the public undisciplined and ignorant of basic systems principles on the one hand, while keeping them confused, disorganized, and distracted with matters of no real importance on the other hand.

This is achieved by:
(1) Disengaging their minds, sabotaging their mental activities, by providing a low quality program of public education in mathematics, logic, systems design, and economics, and by discouraging technical creativity.

(2) Engaging their emotions, increasing their self-indulgence and their indulgence in emotional and physical activities, by:

(a) unrelenting emotional affrontations and attacks (mental and emotional rape) by way of a constant barrage of sex, violence, and wars in the media - especially the T.V. and the newspapers.

(b) giving them what they desire - in excess - "junk food for thought" and depriving them of what they really need.

(3) Rewriting history and law and subjecting the public to the deviant creation, thus being able to shift their thinking from personal needs to highly fabricated outside priorities.
These preclude their interest in and discovery of the silent weapons of social automation technology.
The general rule is that there is profit in confusion; the more confusion, the more profit. Therefore, the best approach is to create problems and then offer the solutions.

DIVERSION SUMMARY

MEDIA: Keep the adult public attention diverted away from the real social issues, and captivated by matters of no real importance.

SCHOOLS: Keep the young public ignorant of real mathematics, real economics, real law, and real history.

ENTERTAINMENT: Keep the public entertainment below a sixth grade level.

WORK: Keep the public busy, busy, busy, with no time to think; back on the farm with the other animals.

The most interesting thing I hear recentley is that supposedly our brain takes 0.5 seconds to decode information from the outside world and turn in into a working model we can understand. What's happening right now actually happened half a second ago, and you've already reacted to it before you had time to think about it. Put that in your bong and smoke it.

[The Plaque Goblin]

A whole half a second? That seems a bit improbable.

It's a curious thought that we are actually digital.
