    What in the hell is FNORD? It hurts my mouth to say such things…my tongue ring keeps hitting my lower teeth (owe!), I think I'm going to stop now….Frequent Nowhereness Onwardly Riding Down? FNORD….is this reptilian or dutch? (Huh?)

    oh, and babel, babel, babel! Acai juice is my mecca lifesource…and life is a dream continuance gone mad…I've forgotten where I left my mind….do you think evil aliens are bad? I don't like needles in my eyes; anyone care for a spot of tea? Perhaps some scones?

    I'm JACKED-UP on caffeine & theophylline, waaaaaahahhahahaaaa 🙂 (:A good condition for babelling!)))))))

    FNORD is the thing that you didn't actually see, the thing that doesn't exist, because you should be watching TV right now not thinking. Thinking hurts your brain. Stop it. Be happy and cooperative.

    Boycott Walgreens!!!

    So I came home today from a trip to my local Walgreens where I went to get some Halloween candy (for myself).  While there, eye spied a Star Wars brand Darth Vader lightsaber.  Turns out the thing is the biggest piece of shit lightsaber I've ever owned.  When you put the two double AA batteries in the thing is turned on.  The on/off button doesn't do a thing!  Who needs an always-on lightsaber!?  It's not practical.  An evil lord can't be battling rebels 24/7.  He needs a break just like everyone else.  Plus when I extended the saber like i was going to instanly lop some guys head off…the thing came loose and flew across the room.   

    It says on the box in small print that it is a costume accessory only and is not meant for battle or play.  Damn!!!  Tonight I was hoping to battle my neighbor above me who keeps complaining about my music.  Oh well, maybe I can get my $7.99 back from Walgreens.

    But see, if you leave your lightsaber on all night, you must go to Walgreens for more batteries…or you can take them out, put them in your pocket, bump into something & have battery juice sizzling all over your skin so you get sick and need medicine and rash cream from Walgreens. Or if you return it, since it's a seasonal thang, they'll hafta give ya store credit so you can purchase something else at Walgreens….like a Kazoo or a nifty whistle. You like whistles don't ya; everyone likes whistles…or Fig Newtons! You could buy yourself a whole BOX of Fig Newtons!!! Although, I see the ideal situation & most logical explanation is to indeed battle 24/7, jacked-up on No-Doz & Sobe Adrenaline – all items to be found at Walgreens!!!

    Although, maybe you should stop trying to be such a vigilante and sit on your ass like a normal human being & watch some t.v…..maybe go buy a movie…at Walgreens! 😉 😛 (Hey don't dis them, man, they hooked me up w/ my XXX pics, no questions asked; just a wink and a smile  8) ….copies to be attained at Walgreens 😀

    One thing that I dig about Paul Richards drawings are that they don't neccesarily follow any anatomically correct rules as human beings generally except them to be.  I have heard the belief that if we ever do meet intelligent life from another planet that they wouldn't neccesarily follow the “two eyes, two ears, one nose and a mouth” rule which just happens to be the anatomically dominant life form on our planet.  Good chance that the dominant life form that took hold and developed intelligence on another planet wouldn't follow the two eyes, two ears, one nose and a mouth standard found on earth.  Or I've heard that it could have been an entirely different species on our own planet instead of us hominids…it could have reptiles.

    Actually one of only a few good storiy lines of Star Trek Enterprise was the single planet that had 4 different species evolve and develop intelligence at the same time.  It was the aquatics, the insectoids, the reptillians and the primates.

    so I found me a wonderful lightsaber today at Borders.  Pricey but it's a real replica one.  Picked red.  Lady at the counter asked me if it was for myself and I said of course.  I strongly believe in buying toys for oneself.  The other lady, who actually looked like the Oracle from the Matrix, told me that I'd be back for the other colors.  I scoffed at her assertion but after playing with it all night I def want to go back and get the other ones now.  They had red, green and blue.

    I have been reading alot of evolutionary biology recently, also the works of Howard Bloom and Kevin Kelly (“Out of Control”). When multicellular organisms first emerged on Earth, there was initially a wild tangle of very alien looking organisms but rapidly a much smaller set of morphologies emerged. This is corroborated by artificial life simulations. It is quite possible that life that evolves in planets similar to ours, no matter where they are in the universe, resemble animals and plants on Earth.

    I do expect bilateral symmetry to be prevalent.

    But once a sapient species can alter their own DNA the WATCH OUT. The weirdness machine I think really takes off like crazy then. Once evolution comes to an end and biological diversity is generated by engineered decisions, all bets are off.

    so I really could have more than one penis someday???  awesome!  I can't wait!!!  ;D

    seriously though…I wonder how many people on this board do believe that there is intelligent life on other planets and furthermore how many believe that those other intelligent life forms have actually been to our planet/have had contact with humans???

    Aliens are def a theme in our music and scene whether the reference to aliens is just in a joking or serious manner.  I do think our scene is a bit more open minded than the general population.  Does that open mindeness then in turn makes us more accepting to the plausibility that aliens do exist?  Or is our common past experiences (chemistry) give us the perception of existence outside of what we know?  I know my past experiences could have led to my alien perception.  But I also looked at those experiences without need to define them.  Basically wondering where the alien theme came from that is in our music/scene?

    I think Trip. Pip. spoke about her direct experience.  I don't have any such experiences (never seen a ghost either).  So without having any greater evidence I would believe it less likely that we have been visited by intelligent life.  I do think it highly likely that intelligent life does exist on other worlds somewhere in this universe.  With the vast number of galaxies and stars it would seem illogical that we would be the only intelligent life.  It would be pretty egocentric to think we are IT.  Like the Drake equation…thought up by an astrophysicist to equate the plausibility of intelligent life existing on other planets…  I think the last calculation gave a number of 1 out of every 10,000 planets would have life…which actually makes life quit abundant in the universe.  And as more is discovered about the individual varients in the Drake equation the more plausible the possibility of intelligent life becomes.  Except for distance!  It is firmly believed now that the universe is expanding out from itself and will do nothing but continue to expand.  Thus the distance between galaxies will just get greater and greater.  The distance is what makes me question whether aliens have ever made it to our planet.  Is it plausible that any intellgent life anywhere in the universe would develop the means to reach another intelligent planet???  Is there even any kind of physical force or technology yet undiscovered that would make it possible?  I sure hope I get to find out!

    And if aliens ever do land in Chicago I'm gonna tell them they need to check in at the airport with immigration just like all the other visitors have to do from outside the country.  I bet ya the mayor will tax their asses too just like every other ship that lands at O hare n' Midway (sooooouuuuuth-siiiiiiide!!!)  It does bother me though that the open arrival and interaction with aliens is thought of as an automatic panacea for all our ills.  I'm still gonna have to get up tomorrow morning and go to my job.  My landlord is still gonna want his rent.  No guarantees that they're gonna be nice aliens either!  They may just come down here and stick extra penises on us.  I can't wait!  ;D

    You gotta read Lee Smolin's Life of the Cosmos. He is an physicist who talks about the universe as almost a biological organism, and that the conditions of the universe appear to be tuned for the development of life and intelligent life, because intelligent life forms eventually generate lots of black holes, which is how universes make babies. Universes reproduce, in other words, and we “enable” greater number of offspring. (we haven't yet, but we will, because black holes are the ultimate power source and means of transportation). Gotta read the book, you absolutely must.
