February 24 It pays to increase your Phrasepower...A useful phrase for many situations is "Didn' useta" as in: "Jean-Luc didn' useta pee anywhere but his litterbox." Some of his creative venues have been: on the bathroom scales ...on the magazine I put down halfway through an article (now it's kinda tedious reading, having to peel the pages apart). ...on the dirty clothes I left in the corner. Where have your pets gotten creative? I'll bet they didn' useta do that. We never go barefoot here. Also: "Garden Clubber". What does that phrase mean to you? I picture something violent... ...and this little gem of a phrase, which is perfect at the bottom of a membership application to the Deaf Romance Club: "Please Sign and Date". January 20 Food from cloned animals (or plants)I can't think of any real reason to be concerned. Is there any scientific basis for the popular fears? I can think of a remake of an old favorite cowboy show, ending each episode with someone asking, "Who were those masked men?" His companion will always answer, "That... was the Clone Ranger!" January 19 TV writers' strike"What writers' strike? I've barely noticed", sniffed Reeking Havoc. "The only thing I've missed is the Jon Stewart show." "I spend most of my time on the computer anyway..." January 14 Kidney Transplants without the need for a tissue matchMy Dad has a bridge partner in California whose granddaughter set up this website to educate the public about the procedure that saved her life. November 11 MicrocephalusI tell people my new battle name (scroll down to see "Brain of Mike Rocephalus"), and many people don't get it. Maybe it's a bit obscure, so here's more on microcephalus, or "pin head". Schlitze Surtees was a famous pinhead, surely the inspiration for "Zippy the Pinhead". microcephalus.com November 10 What should I write about next?I'm kinda short on ideas today, so I'm ready for a few suggestions. Personal questions are less likely to be answered than religious, political, online gaming or automotive requests... Mike Rocephalus is my new battle-name in "Enemy Territory QuakeWars" and here's a map of Mike's brain, click on it: November 03 It's the Apostrolypse!!Apostrophes are NEVER supposed to be used to make a word plural! NEVER, NEVER, NEVER!!! Apostrophes are for contractions of two words into one, so don't use them for plurals! An apostrophe is also for showing the possessive form of a word, so its' purpose is not fulfilled if you use it for a plural! It's not OK to EVER use an apostrophe for a plural, even if you're not sure whether it goes in the middle or after the word. (It's is a contraction of "it is", while its' means something belongs to "it".) I can't tell you how many time's I've seen people do this stupid thing since it began sometime in the 1990s . (Pop quiz: Which of these italicized words is correct?) (Click on this picture to learn the answer) January 02 You need to know this for playing Scrabble...What are axolotls and vinegaroons? Axolotls are south American amphibians with feathery gills. Vinegaroons are arachnids related to scorpions, only uglier. Here are a couple of pictures. Click 'em to get a better look... axolotl vinegaroon November 19 Abyssinian catsI have a couple of Abyssinian cats, Pyewackett and Jean-Luc. Abyssinians make wonderful pets, with their sweet nature, bell-like voices and affectionate ways.
Mine love to come to sit in my lap and purr. Pyewackett joins me in the bathroom when I have my morning shower, where she has to bump my face with her chin. If I don't give eye contact, she gives me "the paw", which is similar to the pose of those "hello kitty" figures you see in Japanese restaurants. The rules of our house stipulate that I must pet her when she does that.
Jean-Luc is named for Captain Picard of Star Trek. He's my "little buddy" and likes to get under the covers on my right side at night when the weather is cold. He goes nuts for the juice from canned mushrooms. More on magic mushroomsHere's another article about psilocybin. There are others somewhere in my blogpage... October 15 What took them so long? (Disco sucks. So do Hip-Hop and Rap)What took them so long?
How'd something good go so wrong?
Past the time to change it!!
But WHAT TOOK THEM SO LONG?
September 28 Sensory deprivation tankThe basic idea of sensory deprivation is that by eliminating or reducing to bare minimum all sensory inputs to the brain, a person is left with nothing on which their mind can focus but itself. People have reported fabulous out-of-body experiences similar to near-death or the use of hallucinogens. I think such effects probably require much longer sessions than one hour.
what it's like... a journalist tries it for an hour.
John Lilly's page about the tank experience.
He was the tank's originator and the man who suggested that dolphins may be more intelligent than humans.
I read his book, "Programming and Metaprogramming in the Human Biocomputer" around the time I was graduating from high school, 1971.
As a result I think of the brain as exactly that, a computer. I predict that the evolution of computers will increasingly mimic the structures, and eventually the chemistry, of the brain. Are you ready for a manufactured human being? August 02 Screeching Godlings Spoiled My Dinner!I've said many times in this space that every person is an incarnation of God. This fact notwithstanding, I am frequently aggravated to find that whatever restaurant I pick for a quiet dinner, it is usually not to be. Nine tenths of the time there will be a toddler or infant nearby. Some of these will be fussing, screeching, whimpering or banging their spoons on the table. The parents avoid meeting the eyes of nearby would-be diners or give little smiles as if to say, "Isn't she too cute for you to be angry?"
It's not the child that has me PO'd! You can guess the rest of what I have to say.... July 18 College Students with disabilities......often need only a small amount of help or understanding to get an education. Examples: on-campus housing at ground level. Reliable transportation they don't have to walk a mile to access. Permission to use a laptop in class. See the article in USA Today... May 21 LordiHere's a picture of the Finnish rock band Lordi, who just took first place in a Eurovision talent competition. A band that looks like this has GOT to be good! January 17 This tip could save your life...Law enforcement authorities and emergency services are asking everyone to go to your cellphones and set your single most important personal contact to begin with the letters "ICE", meaning "In Case of Emergency".
This way, emergency workers can quickly scan your cellphone's list of numbers to call your significant other, who may have vital knowledge about your medical history and be able to speak for your wishes in a life threatening medical crisis. |
