Only got off with a warning? Nowadays he'd be fined a few hundred thousand dollars, and sent to 3 months in prison.

Fast forward 2012, the website ended up losing the suit and had to pay a few millions in reparations. That left every participant with approximately 5$ - they'd have made more money going to work that day.

OMG THIS DISCUSSION IS AMAZING. I took a glance at it, and it does seem like a foreign language, or like a coded work of some sort. Because of the stylized writing, letters or even whole words might become misinterpreted or misrepresented, things like the 'thorn' (English letter that came before TH but makes the same sound). It might be misinterpreted as Y (similar looking in writing but different sound). That happened when the German printing press tried printing the English language, but because the Germans didn't have anything shaped like that letter, they used the closest letter they had, and the English decided they could read it well enough, and when languages collided, people stopped reading Y as TH and therefore the Thorn letter was forgotten entirely. That's how we got 'ye', where that word never existed... it was supposed to be read as 'the', but people didn't know that.

What if all old scripts are like that? hand-writing is a fine and interesting art... just like V and U... two different sounds, but V didn't exactly exist the same way in Greek or Roman times that it exists in today's world. Back then it was a number and not a letter. We turned it into a letter, and gave it a different sound, because Greek U was in fact the shape of V. That's where V as a separate letter probably comes from.

You just blew my mind with this thread, sirs.

Consider this...

Have any of you taken a photo of your car's license plate when the light conditions are such that the flash goes off... Go and have a look at your photos where there is a car in the background, or go and take a photo and have a look at it... Now-when you take ordinary photos of an ordinary (non-photblocked) car where the flash was triggered, you will notice that WITHOUT photoblocker, the naturally reflective surface of the plate is such that all you get is an overexposed licence plate - a white glare so bright that you can’t read the plate...

Now, consider this - if a NORMAL camera, taking a photo of a NORMAL plate, is enough to make the plate unreadable, it stands to reason that the authorities have long ago developed a camera/flash that does NOT glare like a normal camera would, in order for them to recognise your licence plate... and if they have done this FROM THE ONSET, what makes you think that you can outsmart their camera's by spraying a glossy/reflective finish over an already reflective surface, a catachrestic of a NORMAL, NON-PHOTOBLOCKED licence plate that was overcome years ago....????

I’m Sorry, but until their websites can explain SCIENTIFFICALLY how their product "reacts differently" to a flash, I will not buy it. Merely showing me a before and after photo of an effect my normal camera en licence plate does ANYWAY, is not going to convince me..

Yes indeed, implanting false memories into people is very easy - people who had never been to Disney World were shown a Disney World ad and that pretty much was enough to convince them they had indeed been at Disney World once in their lives.

Most of us create false memories for ourselves at some point or another. It's not limited to politicians, but I'm also sure some know that they are telling a lie, they just want the publicity - Sarkozy released photoshopped pictures showing him tearing down the Berlin Wall... it took about five minutes of research to discover the real pictures sans Sarkozy.
He was not reelected for a second term.

An age of 128 is theoretically possible it is not particularly plausible. The most long-lived person with proper documentation was the Frenchwoman Jeanne Calment. She lived between 1875 and 1997. As such she reached an age of 122 years. A Japanese named Shigechiyo Izumi is said to have died the same year as he would have turned 121. If so he would have lived between 1865 and 1986. All other cases of persons claimed to be 120 or more have turned out to be unverifiable or been falsified.

Interestingly, most cases of old people exaggerating their age are found in countries where the chance of living to old age is relatively small. This make claims of being 120 years or more even less plausible. Also, these countries don't keep any good track of their populations. Often their authorities can't tell how many people there are in the country. This is most likely the case in Kenya. Not long ago I read about a controversy about how many people really lives in a certain shanty town. I don't remember which one it was but I remember it was in Kenya. Keeping good track of the population likely prevents most cases of age exaggeration. I have never heard of any Italians or Icelanders claiming to be 120 years or more. Yet Italy and Iceland are countries where the chance of growing really old is relatively high. However, these countries keep so good tack of their populations such hoaxes have little chance of success. Sweden keeps particularly good track of its population an has done so for a long time. You will simply would not find someone with a Swedish ID card saying he or she was born in 1893 or earlier. Unless the ID is a forgery, that is.

I've worked with Lou in the narcotic day when we were cops. Good stand up guy. Great cop.

Mariam Amash may well have exaggerated her age by a decade or two.

Facts:
1)The heat is NOT in the seeds. It is in the "ribs" of the pepper.
2)The tip of a pepper is the weakest part. The heat increases the closer you get to the stem.
3)I just ate a piece of a Ghost Pepper on Saturday. Then I followed it up with a Trinidad Douglah and finished with a Trinidad Moruga Scorpion.
4)The amount of heat can vary from pepper to pepper. A Bhut Jolokia could have 700,000 SHU or it could have 1.5 million SHU.

I'm not "tough" and I didn't blister up and die. So this is Definitely doable by someone with balls.

I don't think Michael Jackson had a prosthetic nose when he died. A prosthetic nose would probably look more normal and not like the obviously surgically altered one he had at the end of his life.

I think ”soy meat” usually don't contain any meat at all. The tried version I use to bye is probably just what is left over after making soy oil. Swedish supermarkets commonly offer soy based imitations of meat products. These may contain egg but if it contained any real meat vegetarians would make a public outcry. Here in Sweden vegetarians constitute about 5% of the population. However, they are as much heard of in the mass media as if they where 20%.

In the particular case of Nautabökunni we have a soy protein pie said to be seasoned with “beef stock”. Commercially available instant stock (bouillon cube/cooking base) tend to not contain much meat at all. The “meat stock” used in ready-made meals could well be similar. Additionally, ready-made meals tend to be heavily processed. If so the end result might be too little intact DNA left to be found by the testing method in question. At least this is a plausible explanation for the very unexpected find.

---

By what justification are these lying fraudsters not in prison?

---

I am highly sceptical about look-alike stories just because there are too many of them. In this case I can tell that the man calling himself “John Travolta” today is NOT Roy Black. This because the distances between the features of their faces don't match. I call this trait the shape of face and I am convinced it is genetically determined. It stops to change at approximately the age of 27. Even before this happen the chages are so regular the end result can be predicted at the age of five. Since this trait matches between the old and the new photo they could well depict the same person. I consider them to be so until anything else has been credibly shown.

Is there any estimates of how old Samuel Shepherd was a certain year? If so it would be possible to calculate his approximate birth year.

People thinking ferrets are rodents may have overgeneralised from other small mammals kept as pets. Otherwise they can't be familiar with any typical members of the weasel or mongoose families. Ferrets are so obviously similar the these people would naturally place them in the same mental category. Actually, the the similarities between these two families are due to convergent evolution. Weasels are evolutionary closer to dogs while mongooses are closer to cats. This might be most clearly visible in their claws which are retractable in mongooses.

The person writing “general steroids” may have thought about anabolic steroids. These may be confused with growth hormone. (I think I made this mistake myself as a teenager.) If a ferret is given anabolic steroids it will develop significantly larger muscles. If given growth hormone as a pup it will become significantly larger and possibly develop longer legs. But even with both its body proportions will be unlike any poodle pup. Furthermore, ferrets behave nothing like dogs. Moreover, giving anabolic steroids would probably make it more aggressive. This would in turn make it more likely to react violently to being treated as a dog. So I find it highly unlikely for such a forgery to ever have succeeded.

James Randi has been after her for years to take his million dollar prize challenge.

Don't you just love how psychics justify their predictions? If Berry had never been found, her prediction would have been "true" and no excuses would have been necessary. After this debacle, although there will always be believers, you know she has only one avenue open to her - Hope that no one calls her out on any other wrong predictions and deny any wrong predictions as "miscommunication with the spirits".

What was the name of that psychic whose company went bankrupt some years ago? If she was any good she should have seen that one coming.

Oh, she understands the difference perfectly well. The old bag just doesn't give a shit.

Gasp! A psychic is somehow inaccurate about their conversation with the spirit world? I am shocked! Shocked, I tell you!

Well, that escalated quickly...

Why am I not surprised? A colleague had told me about the psychic prediction - didn't realise it was our old "friend" Sylvia.

If glitter is pieces of plastic, then these will not dissolve in water. So, when these are inhaled into the lungs, how will these pieces be ever removed?
Coughing helps remove a lot of nasty stuff in the windpipe, but if these pieces are deep down in the lung area, won't they stay there forever and reduce lung capacity?

This argument completely excludes the fact that this is 100% possible due to the fact that Kings and rulers in those times had many, many concubines (some were known for having over a thousand) mainly for the purpose to have has many "Royal" offspring as possible. Ismail had over 500 concubines making 888 children very much a possibility.

I just bought 1 acre of land on the moon from the lunar embassy website. I received a nice looking deed with my name printed on it. I framed it and hung it on the wall in my office. It not important to me if it is legal deed or not. After all nobody is going to be building condos on the moon anytime soon. However it is a cool conversation piece.

---

Alexarose, a lot of news outlets (including my own AOL home page) *did* make the mistake of calling ferrets rodents. These people probably think that bats are flying mice. It is pretty irritating.

My bad. The date of the Stephen Haltiwanger order from the Georgia Medical Board was June 9, 2000, not June 9, 2012 as I posted.

Dave, no I don't seem to have your email.

BTW Joel, if you still have my email, please contact me for some interesting info. Cheers, Dave

Joel, clearly this particular disgraced human being is among good company working for the sociopath David Schmidt!

Over the past few months, LifeWave has pushed their presence online by using, and I use that word carefully, Facebook to give their scam an apparent look of credibility.

Schmidt is now pushing new age nutritional products that instantly give you more energy. We've heard that before with the original LifeWave patches.

Again, their is no science behind it, just Schmidt's word that it all works somehow.

So, after all these years Schmidt the sociopath continues to scam people of their hard earned cash and fill rooms of hopefuls who think they will make thousands by climbing aboard the LifeWave train.

I presume you noticed that Ken Rasner has disappeared from CieAura?

It has now been nearly 13 years since Dr. Stephen Haltiwanger, Lifewave's Health & Science Director, was placed on probation and stripped of his ability to write prescriptions by the Georgia state medical board. See https://services.georgia.gov/dch/mebs/jsp/index.jsp Georg,ia Medical Board case no. 99-MB-00-12, order entered June 9, 2012.

He's still on probation according to that website. You'd think that he would want to complete the terms of his probation and get back into good standing with the medical board.

I like how our current crop of snake oil salesmen bought it so credulously and blamed it on drug companies.

The name "white russian shore muudler" is wrong.
It should be "Belarussian shore muddler".
The original swedish name is "Vitrysk strandmuddlare" and while "vit" means white and "rysk" means russian, "vitrysk" means belarussian.
(bela = white in latin)
By the way here are some links!

You guys don't know if this story is true or not. You shouldn't put up stories that you don't know for certain are or aren't true. You'd think the family would know their cat better than a bunch of people randomly reading the story that have never known the cat. Animals are all exactly the same. They have different markings and different personalities. These stories may seem impossible, but we still don't know for sure how animals sense and navigate. Heck, it took centuries before people finally came to the realization that animals are actually conscious beings.... although I doubt the proof was in mainstream media.

"The Cambridge Declaration on Consciousness in Non-Human Animals was publicly proclaimed in Cambridge, UK, on July 7, 2012, at the conclusion of the Conference, at Churchill College, University of Cambridge, by Philip Low, David Edelman and Christof Koch. It was written by Philip Low and edited by Jaak Panksepp, Diana Reiss, David Edelman, Bruno Van Swinderen, Philip Low, and Christof Koch. The Declaration was signed by the conference participants that very evening, in the presence of Stephen Hawking, in the Balfour Room at the Hotel du Vin in Cambridge, UK. The signing ceremony was memorialized by CBS 60 Minutes"

http://fcmconference.org/

They found consciousness in, among other creatures, zebra finches which have TINY brains!

So we are still learning about animals and how they think/ sense/ interact with the world. I say if the family says it's their cat, they would know far better than we would and since even science is not clear on the nature of animals, some animals may very well be able to travel vast difference to find their loved ones.

I actually did some investigating of "Midgetvile" in Alamance County. The story seems to ring true. I received independent verification from several elders I spoke to.

When I lived in Alamance County there is a town called Glen Raven. When I heard the story it was referred to as "Munchkinland"

In Glen Raven there still exists the "Row Houses" which were one time company houses for the employees of the local textile mill. I saw the street in question. Imagine if you will, a long straight street with row after row of identical houses with large front porches. These houses have now been renovated and protected as historical buildings.

In the 1950's as the story was told to me, there lived little people on this street that tended to keep to themselves and inter-bred with each other so that the street had a large population of little people on it. This being the 50's there was no air conditioning so people tended to sit on their porches at night, with the porch lights on. Imagine if you will row after row of identical porch lit houses with little people sitting on them. It became a local tourist attraction for the 1950's "cruising" scene to drive down this street honking your horn in the middle of the night. Eventually the little people became irritated to the point they took to hiding in trees and throwing rocks at passing car. What I heard was they eventually all moved to a dead end street somewhere in town.

Well like you Julia I just thoroughly enjoyed the music and the slide show of photographs, just wonderful. Good on you who ever you are for sending this file out into the world.

The reason I and many others believed this without giving it much scrutiny is because it is NOT far fetched. Once you have seen vintage ads for cigarettes quoting doctors extolling smoking's beneficial effects on the lungs at a time when the tobacco companies already knew the truth from their own research, nothing surprises. "just how wicked the Mad Men of yesteryear were" is just a statement of the truth.

Look up the American monk Heng Sure in berkely California. He is a disciple of Hsuen Hua who was the founder of the city of ten thousand Buddhas is ukia California. Heng Sure had the opportunity to meet Hai Tank before his passing when Hai Tank visited Hsuen Hua in ukia california, he can tell you about his experience with the old monk. Heng Sure is not a martial arts fanatic and has no bias for or against shaolin so you can have an honest whiteness. Other than that there is no way to verify the credibility of the feat performed in the video because the old monk is no longer with us, amitabha. I can say that Heng Sure is a man of solid integrity and a reliable witness. To be honest, if you hang around in the right circles, seeing an old man stand on one finger isn't that big of a surprise.

It looks like a wolf or dog to me. I can't even see how this resembles Jesus. I'm curious why whenever someone sees something recognizable in an abstract object they automatically go with, "It must be Jesus."

This thread has been going on for years and in all that time, the "proof" of an ancient man being able to stand on one finger is "You can't prove that he can't do it." Wow, that's all you have?

Again, here's how it works in the Real World: If you make an extraordinary claim, YOU have to provide the proof. Period. If I claim that I can fly under my own power, I have to prove it. You do NOT have to prove that I can't. Get it?

Simply repeating over and over the same old crap about how people in the East can do amazing things because...well, because of something or other that Westerners cannot understand is NOT proof. No matter how many times you repeat it or how many times you rephrase it. Throwing around terms like "Chi" or "Shaolin" isn't proof of anything either. Sorry. You have to do better than that.

---

In my town's downtown, they have gotten rid of the buttons altogether. They still have the buttons at most intersections though.

One instance in particular, is one intersection that only shanges when there is traffic at the cross street, so I assume the button sends a request for a cross street green light, so peds can cross the street.

I think that most cross signal buttons do that in my town. They send a "green light" request that changes the signal in the pedestrians favor.
