Fortunately, CKIGAB appears to have not only formulated a coherent question for the “Hard Problem” of meatiness (“What does the meat think?”) but also answered it.

If you were to clone your self, you mussel would not change, it would be 100% the same, unless you pump weights, then it would; you would think the same way, and thats it.

Absoshittinglutely. If I cloned you and all your mussels, mixed you into some haddock, covered you in nice buttery mashed potato and then baked you for 20 minutes or so, not only would you think the same way, you’d also be very tasty indeed. Unless you pump sewage.

I saw many shows on the old proscenium stage at Stratford and have also seen many on thrust stages, even in the round, inc. a brilliant Lear and equally fine Winters Tale at the temporary theatre just down the road. I much prefer the new configuration because, without elaborate front-only illusory sets and 2D actors, the plays revert for their effect to the essence of Shakespeare – the spoken words, the words, the words, acted by people whose physical presence can be felt. I would avoid seats that were too far round the sides of the horseshoe – but then the old theatre had loads of even worse seats crammed into it.

Ah, the theatre, the theatre, theatre! The smell of the greasepaint, the greasepaint, the greasepaint! By the way, you sound a bit like you’re falling down a mineshaft. Or maybe loitering around the end of an echoey dream sequence and muttering about how something or other “will haunt you forever… forever.. forever”. But anyway, thanks for the tip about the seats halfway round the horseshoe, the horseshoe, the horseshoe. I’m off for a sandwich… a sandwich… a sandwich. Ham and pickle… ham and pickle… ham and pickle.

That guardian of our language, the BBC, is full of solecisms these days; just one example: 12 pm. There is no such time; “meridiem” as in am (“ante meridiem” means “before noon”) and pm (“post meridiem” means “after noon”) means midday. The 12th hour is neither before nor after midday. So please, BBC use either midday or noon with midnight the correct term for the other end of the day. This is not being pedantic; in these days of 24-hour days, it is often not readily apparent what time 12 pm might be.
Mervyn, Usk, Monmouthshire

I’ve got an idea Mervyn – bear with me here – you know how it’s ok to say 12:01pm, because that is JUST after noon? Right, well, imagine it’s now 12:00:01pm. Works yeah? Now imagine you’ve got some kind of hyperactive speaking-clock sponsored by Accurist and Jedward and, during it’s insane, never-ending babble, you fancy you discern the phrase “.. no cos I don’t even like almonds so I had the lemon cake (do you like lemon cake?) but edward had a bun and we met maggie thatcher i think she’s like tony blair’s granny or something and on her third stroke it will be twelve o’clock and five nanoseconds pm precisely“. Still with me, yeah?

Now, the next bit gets a little complicated so I’m going to have to get my blackboard out…

Further blessings fi Webby who found “hause” bravely taking on the mighty intellect of Stephen Hawking and his ideas about God and the Universe.

Are you ready for “Hause vs Hawking“?

Bear in mind as you read it that Hause genuinely believes he is pointing out flaws in Hawking’s reasoning. For real. Bwoy affi reverse wi dem secular science-tricks. Look…

Mr Hawking, you have a brilliant mind, but you and others like you are flawed. I shall attempt to point out the flaws:

See? He’s gonna disassemble Babylon with his brain-razor.

Take the amoeba. The amoeba is the most complex single celled organism in existence. The amoeba is also unique, because, it has been proven that it perceives and recognizes that there are forces/life outside of what it knows. If you apply heat or cold, the amoeba reacts. It knows it did not generate the heat or cold, but it recognized it and adapted accordingly. The amoeba recognizes others of its kind, and even other single celled organisms. It reacts and adapts accordingly. The amoeba recognizes light and dark, and adapts accordingly.

The reasons I post this is that humans are like the amoebas. We are the most complex of organisms, we recognize other organisms, and we develop our own mechanisms of dealing with life inside and around us. We also ‘know’ that there are a higher set of powers/environments out there, forces yet to be ‘discovered’, etc etc, but we still adapt and overcome.

For you to deny the existence of God or saying ‘God is not needed for our environment’ is like the amoeba wagging one of its tentacles at us, the humans, saying the same thing. This logic by association is exactly the reason why God 1: is real and exists and 2: determines ‘our Judgement’ when we die. Does the pietry dish get flushed? Does the amoeba who dies gets ‘reborn’?

To say that the “Big Bang” happens without God’s hand, is like saying “we humans didn’t put amoebas in the pietry dish”. Going by your argument that ‘gravity exists, therefore, Big Bang occurred’, means there had to be a set of environments and objects in place for gravity to happen. And, another counter-argument to your gravity farce, if this is in any way shape or form true, explain to me what a Black Hole is, what it does, and what happens to ANYTHING that gets pulled by a black hole?

For all we know, the black hole could be a vacuum cleaner going through and sucking up everything out of the pietry dish. Now, does that mean that the Bible is ‘word’? That, depends on the interpretation of each person and the faith of each person. It may not be perfect, since it is of mortal design, but it IS the best we got so far. Until some evidence comes along that can be explained in a calm, rational, justifiable manner, then, I guess “God” is the best we got (and the only one that makes sense).

Hmmm. I’m not convinced you’re going to beat him at this “reasoning” business.

Are you any cop at badminton?

Well done France for [... blah blah barble blah blah ...] If the Muslims don’t like it they can go back to countries that have Muslim as their traditional [... blah barble blah massive turdgobbler ...]

Another reason why I think this new law is great. It will help with the terrorism issue. Many terrorists these days are Muslim. Furthermore, it will also help to get rid of the sick people which will cover their face in a veil, pretending to be a Muslim when really they are a peadophile. [... barble barble blah ...]

Fucking paedo terror-fiddlers with their fucking paedo wank-curtains. Where will this end?? Am I safe just because I’m over 18? Must I live in permanent fear of slot-eyed burkapedes and jiggly-cassocked priests?? How can I trust anyone whose penis I can’t see??!?

Might have to go for a lie down. I’ll leave my cock out so you can check I’m not masturbating furiously.

If life is so much easier being gay, muslim, foreign or just plain diffrunt, why not start praying to Allah or rooting around in the knickers of your nearest same-sex partner and reap the rewards?

Finally, we’ve found someone who’s prepared to put their mouth in someone else’s trousers.

If you make an exception for Gay Asylum seekers you are creating a loophole that will be exploited. If I was trying to get into the UK I would do anything to help my case. If I thought saying I was gay would improve my chances I would. I would even have a homosexual relationship if that helped.

You know what? I think it probably will help. Go for it.

And George Washington is tossing and turning in his grave…

Ladies and gentlemen, the noises you hear are not the rumbling of your empty stomachs, its the noises from the grave of George Washinton who is tossing and turning after he heard the above quotes…of mixing stripes with the cross…And the sudden cold wind you have exppearnced just now is not due to the drastic change of weather, its created by the joint sighs of all those dead people who fought for their independence of their stars and stripes from the Cross of the empire,
colonelartist

Whew, thanks for putting my mind at rest. When I heard the rumbling and felt the cold wind, I thought Mothra was trying to hump the Angel of the North again.

The empire is firing the gun thats placed on the colony’s shoulder…And the colony just like many other ex-colonies is happy to obliged..Dead men dont laugh, they sigh….the gales of laughter you hear is actually the people who are standing on the graves of those sighing dead people, and lauging at them…(I didnt say this , Kipling said something like this, I dont remember where but I remember reading something like that, and since I was not paying attention as I was reading it, so I cannot quote him word by word….Calrification to the mods, just incase they do with me what obama did to mccrystal after the pathan within him woke up and he said those things)

After laughing at you lot for so long, I’m actually starting to worry about mods myself… awful lot of mopeds around these days. They remind me of this Constable painting:

That might not be exactly right… don’t ask me to draw it exactly cos I was kicking the piss out of a heron while I was looking at it.

There’s just way too much of it to post, so I’m just going to edit together a few bits of his posts into a single incoherent mess. This might seem a little unfair but, really, it’s not. Every single word he writes is so awesomely mental that, by removing a few and taking bits out of context, I’m making him appear more coherent than he actually is.

BP never planed on filling that pipe up to stop the oil leak.
i know this, i told them 100% how to seal the leak by, making kelir air bags that explode like a cars air bag & block the leak.

sorry, kelir / kevlar is a bullet proof material. real strong & can even stop a bullet. i would say if it can stop a bullet it can handle that pressure. don’t even think a sharp knife can cut it too. so it would hold the pressure easy.

just think. if you are in a pool or spare, & stick your finger in the hole blowing out water, it will go in easy. if you try cover the whole hole with your hand, it will not go in / will be forced out.

That or freeze it with liquid nitrogen. run some thin pipes down to the junction, left & right 20 meters in. then spray out that stuff to freeze it soiled.

I’m going to pause for a moment and give you a chance to bail out. The stuff above was entry-level. In a moment, we’re going to see Scott answering the question “Is there enough support for the armed forces?”. You’re probably not up to this.

Maybe go make yourself a cuppa first.

Taliban using civilians as shields.
Use
Heat weapons
Getting the Taliban away from the civilians

The Taliban hide within the civilians, they will walk with a group of civilians to try stop you from killing them.
So sometimes you will close in on them & they will run up to a group of civilians & walk with them, or will have them all at gun point.
Do this.
You will use heat weapons or Sound weapons to make the civilians & Taliban all move away from each other, then you can make the kill.

Try use the gun on the unmanned drone. This way when you get them 10 meters apart, the gun on the unmanned drone can kill the terrorist safely in a 7 to 15 metre radios.

Right now you just drop a bomb on them all, Instead of using a gun & using a sound weapon or heat weapon to move them apart. Well, you don’t use the gun, & if you do, you will kill the civilians. This is the way around that, heat weapon.

They will at least move them 15 to 40 meters apart in 7 – 20 seconds, that means if they are 7 to 10 meters apart, you can use the gun.
Put the same gun on the unmanned drone as the gun on the Apache helicopter. That gun fire about 6 m by 6 meters, killing anyone in the middle of that 6 meters.

Heat weapon
When they fill pain, they will run as fast as they can, that should give you at least 10 meters distains up to 40 meters. So sometimes you can use a bomb.

Try put 3 heat weapons into the unmanned drone.
Try start a easy system that the unmanned drone can use 3 heat weapons at once, & it can point them in the middle of them forcing them apart.
Even if you only use 1 heat weapon, it will still move them apart.
But if you use 3 heat weapons you could use them to move 20 people right apart.

This will allow you to separate them from each other, leaving the terrorist out in the open. Then once they are 7 – 15 meters apart, you can use the unmanned drones gun to take them out safely.
So they will be at least 9 meters apart, giving you meters apart to spray bullets at the terrorist.
I would say most of the time they would be up to 40 meters apart. Then you can use a small missile if needed.

Make the gun rotate 360 degrease on the unmanned drone.

If you use the sound weapon it would have to travel a long way/// the troops on the ground could use the sound weapon// but the unmanned drone will be very high up so it mite not work.
so you will only use the heat weapon on the unmanned drone.
I think the heat weapon can work from a massive distance.
So it would be perfect for the unmanned drone. If not fly the unmanned drone lower so it will work.
So only fly it lower if that happens.

The troops on the ground can use sound weapons or heat weapons. That will push all of the people apart.

Terrorist in houses with civilians

Use sleeping gas to flush them outside or to put them to sleep. That’s if you don’t want to use stun bombs to keep them secret for a massive war,

Use the sleeping gas to put them to sleep.
This way the terrorist will have to come out or full to sleep.
If they come outside you will have snipers that will take them out & you can use the heat weapon to move them apart.
If they stay inside they will full to sleep.
You can only use sleeping gas, normal smoke will kill them all if they don’t come out.
But sleeping gas will not kill them, it will put them to sleep.

So it said the Taliban got past your troops outpost thermal cameras sensors, by wearing thin foil sheets.

that’s easily fixed.
Start to put movement sensors around the bases / outpost.
Just like a sensor lights at your house. If a cat moves, they will go off / turn on. The smallest or slightest movement will set them off.

Even think about integrating that into inferred vision glasses / unmanned drones.

Must make new sensor to get around this Taliban tactic.

Even lasers pointed everywhere

The Taliban put check points of there own on roads,,,,

You must start to put boat style bacons at all your check points,,, so a signal that will go out..

So use your unmanned planes to fly around, when they see a check points & the signal is not there, they can blow up the Taliban fake check points ..

Iraq / Afghanistan
Check points
1.7 meter check points, NO more truck bombs killing 400 people.

WHAT DID I SAY TO DO IN IRAQ.
IF there is a area where there is more then 50 people, put check points all the way around.

No cars can be near a group of more them 30 people.

cameras at check points.
They will get death if seen letting them past knowing they have explosives in the car.

Put cameras at all check points, then see who is letting them past. Death.

Do this.

Also make 99% of check points 1.7 meter high. That will stop check point police letting them past even if they wanted too.

So only 1 road to the markets will have non 1.7 meter check points. If they try turn off, they will hit a 1.7 meter check point.
Know more truck bombs again.

thats just 3 plans that will win the war on its own. there are many more & they are all being planed right now / months ago, to be done right. thats why you think the war is lost. its only just started.

90% of my strategy’s have not even started yet.
i mean after all, i did come up with 90% of Iraq strategy minimum, & about 99% of Afghanistan.

so everyone should just wait & see. the war is over within the next 2 /3 years, & mass troops pulled out in 5 years, sending all other troops on the borders of Afghanistan, will massive strategy’s to crush anyone tying to cross the border.

i could be here for 200 hours saying every strategy. so so many, massive strategy’s. plus, don’t what to tell them may other massive ideas.
scott

Yep, massive. 7 to 10 metres.

Get their parents in to have major brain surgery to fix their inability to take responsibility for their children. Maybe when that’s fixed a more responsible child will hit the streets. In the meantime, when they’re caught for violent crimes give them a sentence that fits the crime, if they go to prison for 10 years they should do 10 years and no luxuries when they’re inside. Prison is supposed to be a punishment not a vacation, so follow monesterial practices, make them pray for foregiveness for the crime they have committed, provide them with just the bare necessities to survive.
Toothpick Harry

Brilliant! We should follow this through to it’s conclusion though. Why bother building prisons when we could just remove the bit of their brain that committed the crime and replace it with a bit of brain that thinks it’s been in prison (or a monastery) for 20 years without any luxuries? The more I think about it, the more I realise that any problem can be fixed by major brain surgery! Can’t spell “monastery” or “forgiveness”? Brain surgery! Education? Fuck that, just use brain surgery! This brain surgegry thing has really got me excitenig. It’s the bESt IDEA EVA. Unless… maybe I’ve had had major brain surgery to make nig think me what brain surgery is a goodnig idea? But how would would I know? Who cares? BRIAN SUGARY! It’s not exactly brain sugary!

Ever wondered what it’d be like if Nigel Tufnel ate Timothy Leary’s handbag and then gave a lecture on astronomy, the speed of light, information and A Very Big Number? Nor me, and yet here it is.

It is impossible for humans to know everything, we are restricted in our knowledge by time and distance.

There are infinate things that we know of but just cannot do/achieve/experience ourselves now or even by a million years into the future.

I have a little print out above my computer monitor which I scribbled a few years ago. It says-

Infinity of knowledge

Knowledge is so great that even if human knowledge was enough to fill the density of a billion worlds, it would still be significantly less than one trillionth of knowledge still to learn.

We have computers that can count numbers that most of us would just find impossible to even get a grasp of. We know of numbers that even if humans counted one by one for a trillion years it would still take a bigger/greater number of years than most people could understand.

Humans will never know so much because we are just so limited.

Most people do not know what number a “googol” is. Its a number with 1000 zeros, its impossible for a human to count up to it without the aid of technology, (the numbber 1 million just has 6 zeros in comparison). A number that is so astranomically bigger than a “googol” is a “googol plex”. A “googolplex” is so vast that we do not even know what it is so a googolplex plus one is an impossibility to know and is basically irrelevent.

To travel to outside our planetry neighbourhood would take much longer than the lifetime of one individual, hence even travelling for a million lifetimes we would not be able to reach that which we can see via telescopes etc. Which means that ALL the available knowledge of ALL that which is just in one direct linear line 1mm wide is beyond our capacity to have knowledge about, let alone 360 degrees around us.

In all things, if we were to measure our knowledge on a solar ruler in milimetres (one ruler is the distance between the sun and earth), the knowledge we have presently attained is MUCH MUCH less than 1 millionth of millimetre in comparison to knowledge that is waiting out there for humans to try and learn about.

I think the greatest knowledge we can have is that which we know about the wonderous events which led us to our existance and that knowledge which we are capable of using to maximise our continued existance for as long as humanly possible.
MrWonderfulReality
