I'd be careful what I said down there under! There are always those little known Jello facts that come back to haunt one!!! What was that you said earlier about ghosts? (Whilst he chokes back fits of laughter!)

Uh-oh......I eat my words about not finding comments on Jello and EEG on the site Wen! Not only has it been proven once it has been proven twice!!

OMG! Now that is WAYYYYYY to funny! ROTF

Guess I'm not the only one who has wondered about Jello - but at least I only wondered, I never tested!

Well, that's two down, one to go! Jello now has a website to back me up, 'ghosts' originated in a book I read and just made me think more - that only leaves one subject unsupported!

And to think it only took four pages to prove that women are never crazy and they are never wrong! (Sits back and waits to see the responses on this one) :)

THERE'S ALWAYS ROOM FOR MODERN MEDICINE . . . OR IS THERE? Dr. Adrian Upton, professor of neurology at MacMasters University in Hamilton, Ontario, recently rigged a brain wave machine, artificial respirators, and intravenous feeding equipment to a bowl of lime jello about the size of a human brain, and—gasp!—recorded readings typical of those emitted by a living person. In fact, the good doctor noted, the results of the electronic analysis would not have qualified the dessert as sufficiently "dead" to have the life-sustaining plugs pulled under existing legal guidelines!

Ahhh... that clears up a lot - Hamilton, right next door to Toronto - the Big Smoke. Those two cities combined can't field a good hockey or football team - although I always liked the Blue Jays. I wonder who was his comparison human subject for the jello EEG: Ex-Premier Mike Harris? I have met humans, especially politicians, bureaucrats, many postal employees, and most extremists of any political bent, who probably don't qualify to have the life-sustaining plugs left in even when they are walking around doing whatever it is they do.

Boy... you go to work one day and you sure do miss a lot in this thread :-)

(cough) I'm almost afraid to mention this...

Driving to my office earlier today, I heard a news report about a recent Harris poll stating that 40% of their sample believed in reincarnation. Of those, the majority of women wanted to come back as women in their next lives. Incredibly, apparently 60% if men who believed in reincarnation also wanted to come back as women.

I wonder if these are the same men who were in the Jello EEG comparison group...

Hi minstrel,
I think the Bible talks about Heaven on Earth. So I could understand according to your poll that would be 100% women on Earth.

So that would line up with the Bible talking about Heaven on Earth.

I'd like to come back as a woman as it seems to me that all "adult" toys are firmly aimed at them and I'm feeling left out.

That and the fact it would be nice to be always right instead of always wrong.

He hem I noticed that The Toronto Argos are in the CFL Eastern final against Montreal after beating the BC Lions (a western team that couldn't beat any of the teams in the west to make it to the Grey Cup) and I have already stated that the Toronto Maple Leafs are the only team worth watching in the NHL, the teams in Ottawa are much like the politicians there, over paid and underworked.

I noticed that you did not use the term Postal worker. Which is a good thing as that is an oxymoron. Personally I once heard of Ottawa referd to as Canadas version of Australia...where we send our criminals and insane. lol

Gotcha! Hee Hee Hee!!! You know, you just sorta stepped into that one with both feet! What colour is your toenail polish when you're knee deep in Lime Jello anyhow? And, I'll reserve comment on that Jello wrestling theory, given thoughts surrounding the toenails. But, I'd be willing to bet there was something too that effect involved, given that I can't imagine them letting $14,000 worth of Jello go to waste.

If there would be 100% women on earth, who'd be here to enjoy their company? As we all know entirely too well, you'd never get that many women to agree to anything and get along! UNLESS... of course they elected Wen their leader, in which case they'd be so busy talking to Jello, searching for ghosts, and trying to figure out why their feet were still on the ground when gravity exists only in their minds, that they wouldn't have time to disagree.

What is it with Canucks doing weird experiments? Apparently Canadian scientists have discovered that herrings talk to each other using high pitched sounds emitted from their anuses. They said they realised this when they noticerd bubbles coming from that area that coincided with the sounds. They have called them Fast Repetitive Tick (I think they worked from the acronym backwards there).

In that same radio report, the announcer quoted Charlotte Whitton, former mayor of Ottawa, as once having said, "In order to get half the respect a man gets, a woman has to be twice as intelligent (or maybe talented). Fortunately, that's not a difficult task."

I thought the scientific term was "Flatulence Anal Region Transport"

(Okay man, I'm gonna say it) Seems to be something fishy going on here; does anybody else notice the virtually identical nature of our discussions here at the 'break from reality room' and Canadian scientific research? I mean, come on, the whole EEG of jello = people's (Ahem ladies!) is just to obvious for this forensic logician (didn't I mention that? Sorry!) too ignore. I therefore conclude that either a) we have a spy amongst us and we better get a cut if they(scientists) try to patent any of our idea's, or b) we have a spy amongst them as some sort of wry attempt at bolstering our credibility with cutting edge topics, or c) we are the same people posing as two distinct groups of intellectuals, or maybe even d) maybe this is just another example of great minds thinking alik!(sic)

I'll see your "Sherlock" and raise with a "Mycroft" response, pointing out the common misconception of "scientific methodology"....

To the layman, science "proves" things, when in reality (whatever that is--at least in this thread!<grin>) the scientific method can only disprove postulates and theorems. Thus one is rarely able to fully recognize--much less eliminate--the impossible, in which case what remains is both that which is recognizable and that which is not recognized as relevant nor remaining. (In which case, which "must be the truth": what is recognized as remaining, or what is so unreal it is overlooked or not recognized as remaining--a query fitting nicely the line of this thread!!!)

Hmmm....(ponders deeply while contemplating the mechanics of seeing a shadow in space and whether the upcoming lunar eclipse this weekend is an actuality, or if its true existence is a function of the Heisenberg principle and thus affected by the act of an observer's observation!)

ahhh...quantam mechanics :-)

The concepts of classical physics do not depend on their being observed by somebody. If it doesn't appear to be happening, is it actually happening? But based on Einstein & the Copenhagen's interpretation of external reality, the basic physical theory represents the real external situation. Such encounters constitute the only actual evidence of a time-space nature with which we meet in the physical. ;-)

Time for any given object begins from the time that object comes into existence and ends when that object ceases to exist in that form. To the third dimensional being, these posts traverse the time continuum indefinately. So, yesterday & today will always be a given, whereas, tomorrow will never come. If tomorrow never comes...I'm not really here & you will always be in the past.

So it looks like I will never get that cuppa!

BTW....the Aussies & the NZ'ers kicked butt yesterday, today. I wonder if that means the game never actually finished? ;-)

In that it would appear we are now back to discussion of content in the initial post, does this mean we have to go through the whole Jello and Ghosts routine again too? As that would definitely mean that tomorrow or yesterday never truly occurred, and that we are most definitely locked into only today!

Not to mention, I'm not sure Wen's up to it!

I'm always up to it, it's just more fun watching all of you. And here I thought this thread would never get replies because it was 'off the wall'

So now.....I have to ask.....does this thread know what it contains? Everything that is written in a book makes up that book, but does the book really know the information? Maybe books do know all that they contain, and we just think someone wrote them. But really there is a factory in a far away land where books make books and they really do have all the answers. You can never be sure that what you are reading is actually what was written. (Considering the way wpw has been acting the last day or two - where you read what was written but you find out you haven't read it yet.)

The same theory works when it comes to what is said (and men prove this all the time :) What is said isn't always what is heard but is it always a matter of not listening, or hearing only what we want to hear? We read books for information, but everyone perceives that book in different ways, what if that book truly is giving them different information? What if what we read isn't what they read? Yesterday the book said one thing, today it says another? Kinda makes you think huh?

I'll let you think about that for a while ;)

Okay... I thought about it a while...

Given the original context herein, that being that tomorrow never comes, and thus it is always today, and therefore there can be no yesterday.... The content of the book would remain eternally in today and thus never change!

Haven't you notice the more off the wall the MORE it gets read? It msut be that creative streak in all of us. We need to be a little off the wall to do what we do ;-)

Or that what was written hadn't in fact even been written at all, because you weren't here to begin with. Your presence here was purely a conjecture of your own imagination....now log in again please! ;-)

I think the problem is that the WPW server is located near a wormhole and occasionally stray bubbles of temporal distortion engulf it. While this may be a bad thing at present I'm just waiting for the time one of those bubbles makes the server start sending out pages from the future. I'm going to start a thread where I'm going to post the lottery numbers so I can cash in when this event happens.

I wonder where the event horizon is?

Maybe the WPW server tech dude is actually the cat in the hat?

Remember, a Jabberwocky is for life, not just the winter solstice.

Why are straight jackets called straight jackets? whats straight about them?

Do mice steal our elastic bands for bungee jumping?
