Lots of Lots

Here you go. One big dump of fun for you to sink your teeth into. Enjoy!

Starting with a documentary about the business of AIDS.  I know, fun times indeed.  I have not seen the doc cause well, I don't know people who know people but I'm interested to see how this plays or even if anyone knows it exists.  Much like with the history of AIDS.  (Obviously people know there is a history cause all things have history but they don't know the history of the disease is what I am saying.  Jeez, with the questions. (Touch Me)

Some people openly wonder why we have spent the last half century exploring the cosmos when there is a vast array of just about everything underneath the water on our own planet (there's your shout out Andrew).  The underwater structures of Yonaguni present just the kind of thing that makes underwater exploration so tantalizing.  If this is a man made structure, then we should consider the possibility that Graham Hancock preaches regarding previous evolutions of man (yea, plural.  4 to be exact.  We are the fifth) is a real notion (btw, Graham Hancock will be on the Joe Rogan podcast in a week or two which is a must hear. More on the podcast later as well).  So maybe if we start just exploring where coastal lines were previous to the last ice age then we might begin to find numerous structures like this off the coast of Japan.   (Touch Me)

For my pops who swears by the magical applications of holograms. France is testing hologram boarding agents at its Orly airport. Good for futuristic dreamers.  Bad for people who like to yell at attendants to make themselves feel better (sorry Nina at Southwestern.  I know you will never be able forget what you saw there that day but maybe one day, it will subside to the dark corners of your memory.) (Touch Me)

We all know that people can control the weather (World Cup 2020 Quatar anyone) so this should come as old news but still good info.  The University of Geneva has begun testing what they call laser-assisted water condensation to make it rain so to speak.  The first tests produced water droplets in the air but did not cause major flooding in ten states like that old bag Mother Nature can do but it is a start.  (Touch Me)

I'm not here saying I can completely explain my belief in string theory but it has always seemed to give some sort of probable explanation to the world and our interactions and connections within it.  But of course, the fucking europeans (yeah little e) spoil my knowns again.  Seems as though part of the basis for superstring theory is that all normal particles actually have supersymmetric cousins called sparticles that are slightly different than the original particle.  Apparently, sparticles don't actually exist so...back to the drawing board. (Touch Me)

I love me a good religious story as well.  In Tel Aviv, a 2,000 year old burial box could reveal the location of the family of Caiaphas, the high priest involved in the crucifixion (see murder) of Jesus.  It's a great story if nothing else (you decide what story that is). (Touch Me)
