How often do you hear the word : Simpatico?
A week or so ago; i was watching _The Trouble with Angels_ that used the line several times,
And then, a day later, on _White Collar_, One of the sub-characters used the word.
This sort of thing happens quite often to me, but how often would one expect something unusual, something unspecified, to happen two or three times in a row, within a constrained time frame?
It’s easy to chalk this up to Coincidence; As it is Well Understood that Anything That -Can Happen- Will Happen from time to time, and It is Entirely reasonable, And Expected that These Odd Events will happen in Sequences that any given person will notice with sufficient clarity to Note them as Being Somewhat Odd.
As The Population of The World becomes greater & greater, and more & more babies are being born; It is Entirely reasonable that Babies with a Particular Notable Birth Defect or Anomalous Condition will be Born More Often.
In Late 2009, Two Sets of Two Head Babies were born; One Set of Boys in Indonesia, that lived for only 5 days, and A Set of Girls born in The Philippines.
In Early 2011 there have been what may seem like a very large number of Massive Animal Deaths around the world. Zoologists tell us that this may seem quirky; But in actuality, Reports of this kind are quite common.
Which brings up a corollary issue; When Very Odd Things happen too Frequently; Do we Greatly Underestimate How Genuinely Odd They are?
We have become So Acclimated to The Phenomenas or Gravity & ElectroMagnetism that it doesn’t seem to bother anyone, Especially Scientists & Physicists, that No One has Any Idea what these Things really are.
( Granted; They have been thoroughly labeled and described, But no one has any idea what their underlying causality is founded on. ( ? ) )
This is especially peculiar when it comes to Electricity.
We have Tamed & Enslaved Electricity to what may appear to be A High Degree of Mastery; But There are currently about 20 Competing Theories as to What Electricity Actually Is and How each of These Explanatory Attempts Chooses to Clarify the Many Manifestations & Expressions of How it Appears in its Various Guises.
Labeling Things does not explain them.
So :
i have been thinking of How A Class of Phenomena May be Used to Create A Spectral Continuum of What i Call Swirliness.
Specifically; The Class of Odd Things that are Sufficiently Rare & Notable, That The Given Observer is Highly Likely to Recall Every Instance of When They Happened, And Clearly Recall All The Particular Details that Surrounded Each Event.
From This List; It should then be possible to Quantify the Quirkiness of Each Event, And apply this Data to a Graph that will Clearly Delineate whether or Not there is a Correlation between The Occurrences & Their Swirliness.
In Other words; Of all The Recalled Comparatively Rare Events;
( That are Not by Their Intrinsic Nature Particularly Quirky )
How many of them Are Unexpectedly Quirky?
How many of them would we Expect to Be Quirky?
After all; As we have previously noted; Genuinely Quirky Events should be Expected to occur from Time to Time—
So that If there were An Unexpected Number of Quirky Circumstances that Surrounded these Events; Then maybe; If a large number of these studies were performed and This High Quirkiness were reported again & again, Maybe they weren’t just happening in a Statistically Predictable Manner.
Maybe The High Quirkiness would be Evidence that these Events were being Constructed & Orchestrated by The Ξ.6 Controllers ( Angels ( et. al. ) ) for some Incomprehensible Purpose or Agenda.
i would also like to note at this time; That just as Astronomers have Created; Ad Hoc, Dark Matter & Dark Energy, with No Evidence for Them At All, To Explain Their Inexplicable Observations; Theologians & Spiritualists have created Daemons, Shadowy Succubins & Ogres to Explain their Unwillingness to Allow that The Meddling of Angels Must Always be Comprehensible to Our Finite Awareness of How The Universe Works.
One Collection of Studies that have already been performed that suggest something like this; Are the Comparisons of Twins that have been separated at Birth, Raised in Very Different ( Sometimes Very Opposite ) Environments, And then ReUnited by Chance Events; Have Revealed Remarkable Similarities. Some of These Resemblances are so Improbable & Inexplicable that to suggest that they were caused by The Twin’s DNA, would be making a claim far Stranger than Insisting that they were caused by ESP!
A Few More Examples :
Someone yells at you for something you didn’t do.
An Encounter with A Crazy Person.
Spotting someone taking a Pee in Public.
Spotting someone masturbating or having sex in Public.
Finding a Photograph or Letter.
Witnessing a Car Accident.
Witnessing an Act of Violence.
Being Robbed or Beaten.
Being Injured by Some Ostensible Accident.
Rescuing Someone or Something.
Spotting A Quixotic Object, Thing or Animal.
A Peculiar Conversation with A Strange Child.
Hear Something on The News that Is Obviously Wrong.
The Study that i am Proposing has to do with A Phenomena that i think most everyone encounters from time to time, Rarely, But not Extremely Rarely; And that is:
Finding Money or Wallets ( et. al. ).
There may be a Sub-Class ( or Super-Class ) of this Phenomena which consists of Finding Curious Things in Dumpsters, But this sort of things is far more easily explained by Statistics, Cultural Habits, Western Economics and such.
You may like to explore this by simply gently grazing through a dumpster from time to time, and i strongly suspect that you will, occasionally, find something that will purely astonish you.
But enough of that digression.

SubClass A : Witnessing Someone Drop Their Wallet or Money.
Finding Money or A Wallet is one thing; But to Actually Witness them at that Moment when They Drop it, That is Pretty Quirky In Itself.
3 / Seattle Washington / Early 80’s ± /
This was a odd, but not particularly quirky, one: i had just seen some movie and was leaving the theater and some guy dropped his wallet right i front of me ( about 10 feet away ), so i went over to picked it up and then for some reason, i seem to have lost him, or neglected to follow him ( ? ) or whatever.
Anyways, i took it home, and this was at a time when i was always broke, so i took $5 out of it and put a magick trick ( and possibly some other bits that were laying around ) that i had in it’s place. The Magic Trick was to put a half dollar in a wine bottle, then remove it.
The other curious thing about this was that while there were several names and addresses in the wallet, it wasn’t clear to me which one was the owner… So i just picked one and sent it by mail to that address.

8 / Oahu Hawaii / Mid 80’s
i was walking over to The Local Safeway, and Just as i turned a corner that was blocked by a building, i saw a guy across the street fumbling with something in his pocket and drop something. This observation occurred within a time frame of less than a second.
That is; If i turned the corner a moment sooner, i would have missed it, and if i turned the corner a moment later, i would have turned to my left and missed it. After all, This guy was completely unremarkable and i would not have been paying any attention to him.
So i walked across the street to see what he’d dropped and discovered that it was a $50 Bill!
This was at a time when i was a street person in Hawai`i and before i was on SSI, so that i had no income and was always broke. So i considered what i should do. ( ! )
The Quirkiness of this happenstance had a substantial influence on my decision to return it. Now then; The Second Layer of Quirkiness was that when i tried to get him to turn around and return the $50, ( Repeatedly ! ), He just ignored me— So that i followed him over to The Safeway where he went in. For some reason i didn’t follow him in, but waited outside and tried to talk to him again and again he just ignored me.
So i followed him for about a block, thinking that i’d made every reasonable effort to return it, but he was just a jerk, So i came up to the corner where he’d stopped for a light, and i came up beside him and just handed him the Bill.
And i didn’t even get a finders fee or reward.
That better have been arranged by angels!
Of course; Was i acting for the right reasons…???
Doing good for all the wrong reasons is the same as doing pure evil.

6 / Bremerton Washington / 2000±
Again; i had just come around a corner and spotted a guy dropping a $20 Bill.
In this case; he crossed the street and was just getting into a car, when i walked up to him and returned the $20.
Again; i got no reward.

( This story is a little different, but it’s so odd, that it almost deserves it’s own category ( ? ).
The defining element here is that i know exactly where the money that i found came from. )
7 / Seattle Washington / Early 80’s
i was doing some x-mass shopping at The University Bookstore.
This was when i was very poor, and after i paid for some books, or such, with probably a $20 Bill, The clerk, instead of carefully counting out my change, Just thrust a wad of bills in my hands and i was moving along.
When i got outside, i made an effort to straighten the bills out and put them away when i realized that she had given my far too much change back. i’m not sure if it exceeded the original $20, but it was a lot !
i agonized over this for several minutes, But did Not go back to straighten it out.

SubClass B : Found A Wallet or Money
2 / Ballard Washington / Early 60’s
This may be the first time i ever found anything!
i was sent to the local hobby store on my own, when was maybe 7 or 8 years old.
The store was maybe 3 or 4 blocks away, and my purpose was to buy a kite, but when i got there, i found out that i was a nickel short, so i returned home.
On the way; i found a dime, and reported this to my mother. She and my slightly older sister were angry with me that i didn’t use the dime to get the kite!
The reason that i still remember this, Was because it deeply scarred my sense of morality in that no effort was made to find the rightful owner of the dime!

9 / Pacific Grove, California / Late 70’s
This was when i was a Street Person for my second stint of about 2 or 3 years.
i was staying for a long time in the Monterey & Pacific Grove area, where some years before that, i had attended, and flunked out of The Language School There for Budding CIA Agents. If i had graduated from The Chinese Branch, i would have been sent to Taiwan and spent every day listening to Chinese Radio Broadcasts, Attempting to figure out what they were up to.
But that was water under the bridge.
At this time; i was eating out of garbage cans, sleeping under stairwells, and sitting in the library as much as possible, reading a lot of science fiction.
Every morning, Shortly after sunrise, i would walk a circuit through town, checking dumpsters and outdoor pay phones ( ! These were phones that passerby’s could use for a small amount of pocket change ) for change.
One phone at the bottom of the hill leading up to the local McDonald’s for many, many mornings, had a return change box full of quarters !
i can only speculate that some person would attempt to make a long distance call every evening, fail to make the connection, and was unaware that their money would have been returned to them.
The additional layer of quirkiness is that this happened many times.

2 / Northern California / Late 70’s
i found $5 on an outside skywalk around a library on Some Unspecified University Campus, When i was completely broke, and i would like to believe that i spent most of it for laundry, but i’ve actually forgotten.
i seem to have another memory that may have occurred at this same time, perhaps on the same night. During this time i rarely, if ever, talked to anyone, but i met a young teenage girl and i told her about the $5, and she wanted it, but i didn’t give it to her.
Then she tried to use a Spock Neck Pinch on me, but it was completely ineffective.

9.8 / Bremerton Washington / Late 90’s ±
Wallet on bus that whose address i walk past on the way home.
The Leading Circumstances for This Event are Both Important and Uncertain.
What i seem to recall as happening; Was that i started out downtown at the local bus terminal, at the end of A Day of My Usual Mischief, and for some reason i decided to take a bus that i wouldn’t ordinarily have taken, Possibly because i would have had to have waited another 10 Minutes or so. This bus that i did take would require that i walk about 6 extra blocks, but at the time, It seemed like a reasonable trade off.
On the trip home, i found a wallet on one of the seats at the very back of the bus.
It was a girly Wallet and full of gee gaw; Photos, Cards, Notes and A small amount of money.
Finding Things like this Fascinate me. i am always very curious about how ordinary people live, So that rather than immediately return it; It was my intent to take it home, thoroughly paw through it, then mail it to it’s rightful owner.
But.
When i got to the street where i was going to get off, i got off with the wallet that i’d put in my back pack and started walking home.
But after about a block or two; i began to experience a truly unnatural compulsion to examine the wallet. This violated several of my protocols regarding things in my backpack. i have a phobic reaction related to any chance of loosing things, that has evolved from my many years as a street person. Loosing anything is a Disaster, So that i have protocols to prevent anything like this from happening.
One of these rules is that i Never Open my Backpack when on A Street or While moving.
i Never Violate these Edicts. Never ever.
But on this occasion, i did.
i stopped on a corner, Pulled my backpack around to my front, and clumsily fished out the wallet and opened it. It was full of junk and the likelihood of dropping something from it, or something else from my backpack was pretty great. But i was undeterred, and found The Owners ID Card. After reading the Address; i looked up and Noticed that The Street of The Owner’s address was The Street that i was on!
Further; i noticed that The House Number was pretty close to The Numbers on The Street Sign over my head. In fact; The House of The Owner, was Literally—
Literally; Right across The Street.
So i went over to the house, Where the owner’s father answered the door, and told me that his daughter routinely lost her wallet.
Again; i did not receive any reward.

8 / Oahu ( Waikiki ) Hawaii / 2006 /
This happened in after getting on a very crowed bus going through Waikiki.
i was sitting in the back of the bus and found a wallet literally Stuffed full of bills. i’m sure that there must have been several hundred dollars in small bills.
So natureally; i thought that this must be somekind of crazy STING Operation, So i hardly looked through it before i took it up to the Bus Driver.

4 / Seattle Washington / Late 70’s /
i got on a bus heading into The University District in Seattle and found a backpack under the seat. i lifted it up and looked around, but no one seemed to own it, so i got off near The Crazy Aquatic Park that has several Uncompleted Freeway Ramps.
As a small side note; The City of Seattle, At one time thought that it would be fun to build a huge new network of Freeways, and began working on them; But then ran out of money, So that there are many areas around Seattle that have a Surrealistic Sculpture Garden of Freeway Sections, High Overhead or Vaguely connected to Existent Roads, that Don’t go anywhere.
After getting off the bus; i found a reasonably secluded spot on the grass, and looked through all the pouches.
i think i may have taken $5 or $10 out of it. This was when i didn’t have a job & Long before i was on SSI. ( i did have a bus pass though ) So after looking through the backpack, i found an address, and i thought, i’ll just take it over there. But it turned out that this was an old address ! So i took it back to The University, and tried calling the owner by dialing information, and i almost didn’t connect with the owner because i had so thoroughly mangled their name when asking if this was the so & so residence! But; After spelling it out for the man that answered, i did manage to tell them that the pack was at a specific building’s lost and found.
i think that i determined by some manner that they lived outside of Seattle ?

6 / The Big Island, Hawai`i / 2004
The Oddness of This Discovery is compounded by A Rare & Quirky Event that happened The Day or Two Before.
What happened was that i thought that it might be fun to take a bus over to Kona from Hilo. The Big Island is aptly named, as this trip from one side of the island to the other took all day.
It was late when i arrived in Kona and after turning left, when it later seemed that i should have turned right, i walked for several hours trying to find a suitable place to sleep for the night. Ordinarily; It is reasonably easy to find a church or school or other building with a suitable area to get out of view from anyone walking by, But i walked and walked and walked, without finding anything like this !
Finally; i found what appeared to be Farmer’s Market Area, that was empty for the night, to i found a booth and settled in, but Amazingly; i Night Watchman discovered me and was in the act of calling the police when he decided that i bribe would sufficient to let me go. He wanted $20, but i only had $10 on me, So he Settled for that.
i left and walked all the way back to Kona, climbed up a hill and found an open area in the dark to spend the night, before returning to Hilo the next day.
Then; A day or two later, i found $15 on the sidewalk in Hilo! i didn’t see anyone drop it, so i kept it.

7 / Oahu Hawai`i / Late 80’s
While wandering around one afternoon, i came up to a bus stop, and found a Wallet or something like a Wallet, Stuffed with pictures. Naturally, i wanted to examine it, but before i could even open it, A guy from right across the street came running over and started shouting that it was his wallet!
And then i was thinking; This is NOT his wallet ! So i asked what his name was as i looked inside the wallet, but before i could verify that it was his, he grabbed it away from me and ran back to the apartment complex that he had come from ! But he didn’t run back to an apartment, he just ran half way up the stairs, then sat down and became pawing through the wallet ( ??? )

While walking down the hill from The McDonald’s in Pacific Grove, i found an empty wallet on a post top and for some reason decided that it must belong to a girl from the high school that was very near there. So i took it over to the office, and the girl that had just lost the wallet was in the office. Apparently she had brought $200 to school that day to pay for something or another, and told too many people about this…!
Amazingly; i was not immediately arrested.

i was walking home one evening from ? and found a Wallet and numerous Cards scattered on the sidewalk. i gathered them all up, then was able to find the owner’s identity and called them up. The offered to give me detailed instructions on how to find their apartement, but i was sure it would be easy to find from the address alone. i should have noted their offer to write down these instructions. The Arrangement of Numbered Units was not as Obvious & Intuitive as it should have been.
But i found them anyways, returned the empty wallet with the few cards that i found with it and Again; Received no Reward.
The Owner and her friend seemed slightly not quite right.

4 / Spokane Washington / 2008
After leaving The Safeway on Frances; i found a Razor Cell Phone, Which was The iPhone of that time. Curiously; My uncle Mike was telling me that of all the people that he knew that i gotten a Razor Phone, they invariably found that it didn’t work properly and had to take it back to the dealer again & again!
But this one seemed to work OK, except that the screen was so dim that i couldn’t view it in the bright sunlight, so i took it home to examine it.
i was curious about the phone itself, so i hunted through all the menus and tried all the buttons, finding a collection of pictures that were taken with the phone. A few of them were kind of interesting and i was thinking of mailing them to myself, but i also didn’t want to leave my email address on the phone’s memory, so i reluctantly decided not to do that…!
Then i examined all the phone numbers and picked one that seemed like a close relative, and called it. It turned out to be the owners father, who came by and picked it up, and gave me a reward of $20 !

SubClass X : Events In Which Money Played a Peripheral Role.
7 / Bremerton Washington / Early 90’s
i had recently gotten about $1400 from The Rodney’s Estate ( Ferry Insurance ) and had taken it all out of the bank to buy a computer. This must have been before i had a Debit Card, although that seems improbable ( ??? )
i distinctly recall that i had a Debt card after i’d gotten on SSI in Hawai`i, Then moved to Eugene Oregon for 3 years, Then moved to Bremerton, and for many years there, The banks on The Mainland weren’t offering Debt Cards !!! ( ? )
Anyways, i was on the bus going to The Mall, and while we were at a stop light, i noticed that a woman about a half a block ahead of us had mysteriously fallen down, and i mentioned it to the driver, but he hadn’t noticed her. So when we got to the next stop, i compulsively sprang out of the bus without my backpack, which i absolutely NEVER do, and ran back to where this woman was, She seemed insensible, so i ran over to the car wash, where again, no one had noticed her falling, so i managed, i think, to convey some urgency to these people, pointed to the woman, and then ran back to the bus, which had remarkably waited for me.
Then i went over to the mall and bought a Performa 460; which lasted for about 10 years. Although i got a Virus ( ? ) that so Corrupted The Entire Hard Drive that i had to Erase & ReFormat it, It Was The Floppy Drive that Eventually Killed it.
There was some additionally strangeness After that.
Kitsap County didn’t have anything like an authorized Apple Dealer or Service Provider, But it did have two Apple Repair Guys that worked out of their garages. One was very difficult to get a hold of, and whenever i talked to his wife, She was very Unhappy with his Decision to start his own business. The one that came over to evaluate my broken 460, decided that it would cost a lot to replace The Floppy Drive, and it would be cheaper to simply buy a new ( Old ) computer, which i did for a couple of hundred dollars. The New ( old ) computer was much faster & had a much larger Hard Drive, So i was very happy with it, But i had to buy a New Operating System for it, Because the one that this Unauthorized Apple Guy had loaded onto it was too big for The Computer. After i got OS8 for it, It worked fine.
But; The UnAuthorized Apple Guy said that he would have to take my Harddrive out of my Old Computer to download the entire contents of it onto a Single CD ( ! )
And after he sent that CD to me; All of it’s contents were corrupted!
How could he have screwed that up?
Fortunately; i’d saved everything i wanted to Floppies, And this new computer had both a CD Reader and A Floppy Drive.
And then Although i lost The Hard Drive on It Twice, The Computer itself lasted until i left Bremerton about 5 years later.
One of The Most Annoying Problems that this Generation of Apple Computers had, Was that if you Turned them off, or they lost power unexpected; They just wouldn’t restart, or When you did get them to restart, the memory would be so corrupted that they would refuse to recognize that it had a Hard Drive or couldn’t find it ( !!! )
Gawd! i hate computers !

This one is The Opposite; Where i lost some money under quirky circumstances.
3 / Seattle Washington / Early 80’s
This case is the opposite of finding money, in that i lost something like $20 or so ( ? )
i was walking down 2nd avenue, along a shady ner’er-do-well stretch and i dropped $10 or so, which is very, very unusual for me, i just never drop money, and i realized that i dropped it immediately, but in those few seconds, a young Afro-American picked it up, and he still had it in him hand, so i reached out, thinking that he would just hand it to me, but instead he said that he’d give it back for a dollar or some such, but when i took out the dollar, he grabbed it too!
And what could i do?
So i left.

SubClass Y : Odd Event that i Peripherally Witnessed.
This is a Class of Wallet or Money Incidents that i Witnessed Peripherally
or Came to be Aware of from Their Primary Source.
3 / November 2010 / Lady on bus loses wallet with 150$, Her life Savings, on another bus.
i didn’t find the wallet, but was only a witness to her telling this story to the driver. The context of the situation was that i first saw this woman with her two friends, i first thought that they were young teenagers, but after a more proximal examination, they were discovered to be middle aged women dressed up like teenagers. They were also chain smoking and seemed ‘Distracted’. The other two women seemed to be unconcerned with their friends crazy situation, and none of them had a cell phone.
i find it astonishing whenever i run into someone without a cell phone !
Which seems to happen much more frequently than i would expect !
They are just so useful, and in an emergency that applies to yourself or someone else,
They can save a life or your sanity.

This Doesn’t relate to me, but when i was introducing my idea of finding money to Sandi & her kids at Her Chrstmsa Dinner 2010, Sandi mentioned that when she and The kids were living at ( x ) there was a money tree near where they lived.
They would go out periodically and find various amounts of bill currency at it’s trunk base!
Sandi speculated that there was a crow or raven that had discovered someone’s secret stash and was pilfering it to make a nest or just to collect things, as such birds are known to do.

SubClass Z : Odd Events That Consisted of Finding Something Other Than Money.
7 / Bremerton / Summer 2000±
This doesn’t involve finding money, but a newspaper clipping.
i had just seen The Silence of The Lambs and was on the bus heading home, when i picked up a newspaper page ( one sheet ) and looked it over. One the back were some obituaries, and i never read the obituaries, but i was bored, so i looked through them, and found one for a girl that i didn’t actually know, but had seen her around town on several occasions, and i had on each of these occasions wanted to say ‘Hi!’ But hadn’t because i was too shy.
The reason for my interest in her, was that she was a dwarf, and part of what kept me from being more friendly was that she had a really big nose! And curiously; In this picture of her, that accompanied the obituary, was that they picture was straight on, so that it wasn’t obviously her! i was only able to piece together from the description of her, that it must have been her. The Obituary was about 6 inches long and thoroughly covered her whole life, Which made me very sad, As she appeared to be interested in many things that i was !
Then Months later i met someone that knew her and verified this story. Her name was Kayla Khulman ( ? )
After that; i was determined to be more friendly to people that i thought i would like to know, but of course, i have Not been ( !!! )

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
As Side Anecdotes to this ( or similar ) phenomena; Are two more examples.
7 / Bremerton / Late 80’s
1) When i was looking for apartments in Bremerton, i only really considered two places, as when i start looking for something like this, i usually find what i’m looking for very quickly, or not at all.
And at both of these places; The Front Door Knobs were so loose that you could wiggle the door open, Even if it was locked! After i moved into the second place, i took the doorknob mechanism apart, and filled it with pennies, which seemed to fix it.
i have never prior to or since; encountered this phenomena.
6 / Spokane Washington / 2007
2) When i was looking for apartments in Spokane, Again i really only considered two apartments, and moved into the second again, And both had doorways to the bathrooms that were unusually narrow. The doorway to the bathroom of the room that i moved into, opened onto the toilet so that it was very poorly engineered, but fortunately; The apartment is arranged in a very odd way, being rather small, but the bathroom has two Entrances ! And i use The larger, better positioned on. i would think that the narrow one is so superfluous that at the time the building was being built, they should have just left it out, but due to some other curiosities, when it was built, with all of the original features, maybe it was absolutely necessary ?
And again; i have never prior to this, or since, encountered these very narrow doorways to bathrooms, or anywhere else ( ? )

4 / Spokane Washington / May 11th 2009
i Went over to The Abby's on Monday to give her a Microtape Voice Recorder, So that she could record some stories of her photographs, ( Which she never used ) and while there, i noticed that one of her curlycue Energy Saving Lightbulbs had burnt out. It was my understanding that these would Never burn out, Or; At the very very least; They should last for decades. -- When i got home, within a day or two, The Curlycue bulb in my desk lamp burnt out.
This sort of thing seems to happen quite a lot; Whereas something will foreshadow another event, or simply participate in a triplet of Events...
Things really do happen in Threes.
6 / Spokane Washington ( re : Midwest News Items ) / Mid 60’s
Another Three's event was when i was around 12 or so ( ? ) i had heard on the news that a Grain Silo had Blown Up...!
Apparently the grain sometimes becomes unstable, Too hot or wet, or Swirls up into a cloud of fine particulates, The somehow ignites, blowing up ( ? )
… But during this period of a month or so, there were several reports of this happening, and both prior to this, and thereafter, i have never heard of such a thing happening...?

> - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - : o
Another Class of Events that is really very different, but very vaguely within the same superclass of events; Is when i am curious about something, and without having to, or unable to find the answer or solution on the internet or other conventional sources, i will simply overhear someone talking, or hear it on the radio or TV, or due to some quirky set of circumstances, i will say the solution, and at that moment, realize that i have just answered the question that i have wondered about for weeks or months ( ! )

9 / Bremerton Washington / 2000±
One was; i had known this vaguely crazy, very mildly retarded girl in Bremerton, very casually, for some months, and she mentioned on day on the bus that she had recently gotten married, So i was curious about who her husband was; And then a week or three later, i was in the main city bus terminal, and this guy, who was completely crazy, unattractive and disheveled, and in her company, was running back & forth in the terminal & literally screaming that she was his wife ( ? ! )
i later learned that she divorced him and married a much older man.

8 / Ellensburg Washington / 2005
Another time; i had eaten a sandwich from Subway that contained eggs, and this sandwich had made me very ill, The yellow of the eggs had immediately passed right through me.
So then, because this was the only fast food place in this town; Ellensburg, Washington, i was there again a few days later, and i overheard the counter guy talking to another customer about the eggs, which were revealed to be synthetic eggs from a Carton ( ? ) For the longest time after that, i was convinced that i was allergic to eggs, which had never given me trouble before, but this episode was so traumatic that i shied away from them anyways, And then years later, i started eating eggs again, with no ill effects.

Small Rant for KXLY's : Talk Back
KXLY.com
RE: Bomb threat at the MLK parade in Spokane Washington:
The instigators of this are hiding in plain sight. Just look around for people displaying their american flags in an inverted ( left to right mirror orientation ) manner. They are seen on many commercial trucks and predominantly featured on the uniforms of many city workers. ( ? ) This could easily become a Pulitzer Prize winning story of someone brave enough to dig into it. Don't let the initial 'explanation(s' distract you, keep digging. ( ! )
It's a huge international movement.
All The actions taken to prevent terrorism, are exactly what they wanted all along. They have succeeded is disrupting international air travel, made many people fearful, and created an atmosphere of opposite day where everything that is good for America is thought to be bad for it.
Don't you find it a little suspicious that if there really was an international terrorist organization, with funding in the billions of dollars provided by oil sheiks & nations interested in over throwing western civilization, there have been no successful attacks against the united states since the very suspicious 911 ? Maybe their attacks have been successful ( ! ? ) Maybe our steady loss of civil rights & support for the lowest tiers of the working class have been their true agenda all along. Blowing things up doesn't change or fix anything, except making people fearful enough to allow another layer of their freedoms to be taken from them without a fuss.
It's been suggested in the past, to follow the money.
When it comes to The War on Terror, Follow the causality that is leading western civilization into a fascist state with every citizen bound with electronic shackles.

Coast to Coast AM ( The Art Bell Show )
Several Years ago; Just as Art Bell was becoming a Household Media Whore,
And his program began to attract the largest Audiences in AM Radio History;
He Retired, Ostensibly due to A Back Injury.
The New Host :
George Noorey is a dim shadow of Art Bell,
And as a consequence of his inability to hold a steady train of thought,
i have had to, on many evenings, choke down my own vomit when listening to Coast to Coast.
But most recently; George Noorey has Crossed over his own lines of Disreputable hosting... ( ! )
Note to George Noorey C2C
[ i apologize for not addressing this issue sooner,
but i don't have internet access her under the porch when i live,
wrapped in a damp blanket,
filling my underwear with discarded kittens to keep warm. ]
[ i further apologize for this missive being so long,
but i've been appending snippets to it over the course of several days ]
Regarding George Norrey's continuous rants & tirades,
using the most immature language & demeanor,
concerning The Shooting of U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona
by Jared Lee Loughner ( The Lone Gunman of Tucson )
. . . .
Re: Referring to The Tucson Assassin at a Looney, Kook and so on.
Question: Are you interested in appealing to your audience's lowest common denominator,
or lifting them up to a higher standard of thinking & behaviour.
If your intent is to race ahead of Rush Limbaugh as The Principle Dimwitted Cretin of AM Radio, The gap is rapidly shrinking,
You are well on the path is achieving this illustrious Title.
Essentially : When you talk like that, You sound like a retard.
It's hard enough to listen to Coast to Coast on any given night,
And i have long admired the patience & restraint that all the hosts demonstrate with your callers,
But please present yourselves as professions in search of some greater truth,
Rather than merely Rabble Rousers.
. . . .
As a Side Digression; i believe that no one ever does anything that they think is wrong.
From your neighborhood pedophile cannibal,
to burglars or pick pockets or plain spouse murderers;
They may understand that you think what they're doing is wrong,
in the same sense that you understand that The Taliban believes that our women are dressed immodestly,
But you dismiss their irrational beliefs as the ravings of lunatics.
Everyone thinks that way.
Whenever someone goes on a murderous rampage,
they undoubtedly have very good reasons for motivating them;
Are they acting on irrational beliefs,
or is our critical analysis being mislead by a dirge of information that they are privy to?
Which side of the kook fence are you sitting on?
Although that was a rhetorical question;
The Answer is; You can never know.
You should know better than most people,
that there is never enough information available, to know,
if it's you or them that are the kooks.
Were Mischievous Angels Directing him, for some reason(s that mere mortals would find incomprehensible, or does everything happen for no reason at all?
. . . .
i was hoping that this would be old news by now; But as of Thursday, you ( George N ) are still beating this dead horse and still defending your childish naïvete.
. . . .
It is universally accepted, even by atheists, when miraculously good things happen,
The Recipient will instinctively thank their particular flavor of gawd;
But it seems that it is equally universal that humanimals fail to understand that the agendas of angels may be starkly different than what mere mortals believe to be good & desirable.
Most prominent is that what, or how, transient mortals perceive death,
is Not how angels perceive and use death as a tool to achieve their end games.
The Deaths of mortals is not appreciated by angels with the same fear & mystery as its recipients do.
Angels do more than give us what we desire,
They provide us with the circumstances & providence that we need,
even when it seems very quirky & horrifying.
Do you believe that angels are caring for us all the time,
Or only occasionally—
During their leisure time for their recreational bemusement?
. . . .
In The same way that Astronomers have conjured up Dark Matter & Dark Energy
to explain their apparently empirical observations,
Theologians & Philosophers have summoned up Daemons & Fiends to explain away the disconjunct between The Activities of an unjustifiably All Good, All Just,
Omnipotent Deity whose understanding of the universe
is as limited & unassuming as Ours.
. . . .
On still another level;
NPR ( The Antithesis of AM Talk Radio )
ran a program that has filled me in on What is going on with The Radical Far Right;
Specifically, Unambiguously calling of An Armed Insurrection to Overthrow our Current Government.
Sarah Palin & Rush Limbaugh are heard every day, calling for America to pick up their guns and kill democratic politicians.
They are not beating around the bush or speaking in metaphors,
they are telling their listeners to pick up their guns and murder the people that are trying to protect our economy & provide affordable health care for the working class that forms the backbone of western civilization.
i used to think that The Republicans represented big corporations & The Democrats represented the common people;
But The Actual Politicians, once in office are indistinguishable from one another;
Republicans are often responsible for enacting legislation to promote the issues associated with The Far Left, such as Women's Rights & The Environment,
While Democrats defend the Issues that The Far Right is Fanatical about.
It seems like The Peanut Gallery ( AM Talk Radio Personalities )
& The Damp Masses wave back & forth like tall stalks of barley & merely create a distracting & dangerous background of white noise that serves only The Snake Oil Advertisers that give these lunatics a forum to shout incoherently to whomever can't find anything inanely distracting to watch on TV.
. . . .
Coast to Coast shouldn't be contributing to this Black Vacuum of DisInformation.
Stick to just being Crazy on Topics that concern only those listeners that are living Outside The Political & Cultural Spectrum that eats properly cooked hotdogs & drive cars with well serviced airbags.
. . . .
Much of this current Debate is very reminiscent of an argument that took place many years ago when critics of cinema violence were insisting that the gratuitous gun play in the movies was a direct causal mechanism for a spate of violence in many American Cities.
At this same time ( ± ) The Vinyl Record Industry was under attack by this same class of pecans & cashews that wanted all records to feature Rating Stickers.
Many Radical Musicians; Notably, Frank Zappa,
Were sure that this was Blatant & Rampant Censorship.
At this same time; i interpreted this movement as Truth in Advertising & Information Helps Make Accurate Decisions.
As much as i love Frank Zappa, He was overreacting on this issue.
But the point is : In both of these cases; The Musicians & Film Makers wanted The Damp Masses to Believe that their work was Both Relevant to The Creation of Western Civilization,
And Simultaneously, It was having No Effect on The Behaviour of Featherless Parakeets & Ill Suited, Shaved Hamsters.
As Dick Cavett noted ( ± ) from left field;
The movies are filled with Witty Comedians; Yet do we find the streets filled with Comedians?
i don't know what his point was; But while imitating Oscar Wilde requires a Substantial Intellect & Quick Mind, It takes considerably less Natural Talent to pick up a gun and shoot someone.
This Same Situation is Being Readdressed Now;
Many Media Pundits are Insisting that they have A Constitutional Right to Broadcast their Incendiary & Subversive Ideas, They further insist that These Comments would only be interpreted by only the very few Clinically Psychotic Individuals to Actually Act on Their Pronouncements.
Free Speech entails its corollary responsibility; Freedom of No Speech.
And his program began to attract the largest Audiences in AM Radio History;
He Retired, Ostensibly due to A Back Injury.

Intelligent Design vs Evolutionism
Some Points of Contention Introduced, or Reproduced, by Wm Jas.
- - -
With Responses, Not Solutions; By The Translucent Amoebae Consortium
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
WmJas : If you're serious about defending ID, answering these three questions would
be a good start:
A. Why is complexity so closely associated with reproduction? Things that
reproduce (i.e., living things) are extraordinarily complex, and things that
don't reproduce are much, much simpler. The exception to that rule is
manmade machines, like computers. Evolution can't work without reproduction,
so it's impossible for evolution to directly create a non-reproducing
machine like a computer; only an intelligent designer can do that. So why
didn't the Designer create any non-reproducing machines? Is it just a
coincidence that the only things he created are the kinds of things
evolution is capable of producing?
- - -
“Is it just a Coincidence that The Only Things The Intelligent Designer Created are The Kinds of Things [ that ] Evolution is Capable of Producing.”
This point axiomatically assumes that there is this thing; Called Evolution, that applies to SelfReplicating Carbon Based Molecules.
But the Real Problem is The Subjective Nature of “Complexity”.
It seems entirely reasonable to me, If there were some pointless desirability to filling a world with self replicating molecules, then they could be much simpler than the ones observed in life forms. A single polymer matrix that attracts free floating elementals & reproduces by either extending itself as a string, then periodically breaking apart at indiscriminate lengths, Or A slightly more complicated method of creating a mirrored siamese twin along it’s length, which would again, periodically break off and create another mirrored siamese twin, that would be a duplicate of the second’s parent string.
Then : It may well be that there are worlds where The Self Replicating Molecules are so much more complex than the ones on this world, that, if these SRM’s formed Sentient Beings, They would consider the Life on this world to be essentially equivalent with Crystal Formation. ( ? )
And : Might is be possible, On a very long lived world, for Crystal Formation to evolve by non-accumulative evolution, to create a sentience of some kind…???
- -
Also: i was just thinking; If there were, say; 2 or 3 or more competing Self Replicating Molecular Schemes at play in the early primordial sea...
- -
Then the one(s that operated on the simplest premise, and acted more quickly than the others to gobble up Carbon & Phosphorous Atoms, They would starve out the other, more complicated Schemes.
Indeed; The most complicated schemes, which would have been the precursors to what we now call life, would have been operating at a severe disadvantage to these simpler molecular strands which were simply concerned with making very long threads or amorphous clumpy things.
There is a great fear amoung NanoEngineers that there may someday be a very tiny robot created that will adapt to any environmentally accessible resource, and use it to make duplicates, or near duplicates of itself, thereby overrunning the entire world, eating everything in its path, converting everything above the mantle into a short lived grey goo that would be incapable of evolving into anything more interesting than the mechanical bacteria that created it.
That’s what should have happened to the early earth. It should have been quickly overridden with the first, and simplest self replicating molecular scheme that would have bound up all of the atoms necessary to perpetuate itself, leaving no time or opportunity for anything else to get its foot in the door.
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Wm Jas : B. If living things were created for a purpose -- what purpose?
A crocodile's eyes are for seeing and its tail is for swimming and its teeth
are for biting, but what is the crocodile for?
- - -
This pertains to one of my own bête noires concerning evolutionists.
They seem to always hear ‘Jehovah’ when the term ‘Intelligent Designer’ is spoken.
When i say; “ Intelligent Designer ”; i am referring to a completely & utterly unknowable sentience for which no attributes may be given to it; except that it made some unspecified contribution to the mechanical processes that we call Life.
It would appear ( ??? ) that the universe is somehow designed to allow for the creation of orderly machinery that does all sorts of curious things. This; Alone, is quite amazing, But There are innumerable elements within The Machinery of Life that defy the presupposition that it came about accidentally, or without some undefined purpose in mind.
This Purpose, However, may be nothing more grandiose than our own feeble attempts to somehow rationalize or validate the liberal arts by suggesting that : Art exists for Art’s Sake.
The IDer may simply enjoy ( Whatever that means ) Daisies & Crocodiles as much as we do.
i don’t believe, for example; that Life has meaning.
i find it very annoying that most every Organized Religion believes in a Heaven or some sort, in which the good will be rewarded, and i am slightly more annoyed in their premise of hell, where the good that have stumbled, will burn forever, or some such.
While i believe in The Afterlife; My own interpretation of how it works is perhaps much worse than The Fundamentalist Christian that believes in Eternal Damnation! i believe that there is something ( ? ) that holds onto some scrap of personal identity, which may shed all the memories & emotional attachments after one’s biological death, and is then held in somekind of purgatory for a spell before being reattached to another living host.
This process has no purpose. There is no Reward or Punishment associated with it.
It is simply the way that the universe works.
And it will continue in this process for ever & ever, Never Evolving, Never showing any Improvement, or Evolutionary Advancement.
In this sense; It is very much like The Evolution that i understand, and that is; Life simply changes. The Multicellular Organisms that existed 600 Million years ago were just as complex as the ones today. It is completely erroneous to allow that mammals are somehow >Better< in any way, shape or form, from the worms or insects that existed Millions of years ago. The smudges that leap from body to body, by death & rebirth are perhaps, or perhaps not, changing in some sense, but they are not in any way getting smarter or -Gooder-. This belief structure makes the prediction that if we were able to jump forward in time, to see where human -evolution- or social development, takes us in 100 million or a billion years from now; The Sentient Beings will in many ways, suffer from the same moral & philosophical ailments that we endure today.
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Wm Jas : C. If living things are designed, why are so many of them designed so poorly? Why did the Designer make mistakes that no competent human engineer would make? Take humans for example. The retina is wired backwards, giving us a blind spot (the octopus has a very similar eye, but wired correctly, with no blind spot). The mouth is too small for all the teeth, which is why wisdom teeth are often problems. We eat, drink, and breathe with the same opening, making choking a problem. The system for giving birth is so badly designed that it used to kill a sizable percentage of women and is extremely painful. I could go on. How is it that a Designer who could design something as complicated and amazing as a human could make so many stupid mistakes?
- - -
One Argument that some Flying Saucer Enthusiasts use to Debunk The Alleged Crash of An Interstellar Transport in The Vicinity of Roswell, New Mexico; Is that beings of such a higher technology would not, could not, have created A Craft that was capable of Crashing. The Ancient Sumerians may well have made the same argument for our commercial airliners. Another of my bête noires is that when the evolutionist hears ‘Jehovah’ whenever the expression ‘Intelligent Designer’ is spoken; They bring with it; All the crazy attributes of This Jehovah that they were taught in Sunday School. i have never believed that the existence of a gawd necessarily presumes that it would have to be infinitely good or just or scientifically perfect. The IDer is just a guy, or gal, or it. My ScreenSaver hypothesis; In which our reality is The ScreenSaver on The Desktop Computer of A Ξ.6 Controller, Includes the possibility that the owner of this computer may be an 11 year old that used off-the-shelf software, and plugged in a few dozen user choices to create our reality. If on some other level; The IDer is merely An Alien Race that predated our Solar System by a few Billion years, Then they may well be pushing their own understanding of carbon based, Self-Replicating Molecules to the limits of their understanding. - Or - Our World may have been, or is, An minor Experiment, that is woefully underfunded. - Or - It may be that you are again, Assuming that humans are the final product, while it may be that the Octopus is the final Product. Granted; We think that we’re smarter, but maybe The IDer’s have a different understanding of Intelligence, or, more reasonably; The Octopus is still at an intermediate stage of development.
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
In All Seriousness, Where Seriousness applies,
If at all; i find it Shocking ( ! ) that you can’t see The Example of The Weaver Ant*;
That makes nests by Pulling Foliage Together & then using their own Pupa as GlueSticks to Bind them with a simple cross stitch; As a Definitive Smoking Gun that The Theory of Evolution falls short of providing a Complete & Unbroken Scenario of How Life on This Barren Moon came into existence.
Yet / Then / In Addition to That / You say that The Defenders of IDer must provide a Complete Explanation for those things. But the ( Supposition ) of ID does Explain Everything. It was Designed. Evolution should provide us with a rough outline of how Weaver Ants stumbled upon their Nest Making Method, It’s certainly not sufficient to merely say; It MUST have come about by Accidental Random Mutations in A String of Queen Ants; Because There is No Gawd, and Consequently; There are NO Other Alternative Explanations. The ID ( Supposition ) Doesn’t say anything about Gawds. STOP THINKING THAT!
Possible ( ? ) Forms for What The ID may be :
Aliens Ghost Like Sprites Elves ( Neither Aliens nor Sprites )
Ξ.6 Controllers ( Angels that are not Elves )
Robots from The Future Witches from The Hearts of Electrons The most reasonable ID is probably an Alien Civilization.
Granted; This presupposes that they have been involved in our development for, What we assume or believe ( ? ), to be a very, very long time. But if this Alien Civilization consists of Immortal Robots with Something that we would identify as FreeWill or Spiritual Autonomy, Then; So be it. Their 5_year plans, may be 5_Billion year plans.
Eternity is long time. 5_Billion years for an Immortal Robot may be a fingernail clipping in an ocean of tapioca puddling.
What really pushes me, ( pushed me ) over the edge for An ID ( Supposition ) is when i came to realize that the first worms that supposedly evolved 800 million, or so, years ago, didn’t do so by incrementally trying new things and putting together a better worm.
And these worms, by the way, were fully developed worms. It was thought by Evolutionists, not so very long ago, that EyeBalls evolved at least 6 different times, completely independently of one another. But with new DNA analysis, It appears that EyeBalls only evolved once. It turns out that there is a Gene that regulates EyeBall Development, and this gene is present in all the different kinds of animals that have EyeBalls, or Something that serves the purpose of EyeBalls, Like Compound Eyes.
Same Thing.
So . . . This would mean . . . That this first Worm that was the mother of Ants, Shellfish, Oysters, Octopuses & Featherless Parakeets, was fully Developed prior to The PreCambrian Explosion. It may not have had legs as we would now allow for fins to be legs, but it must have had something that stuck out at regular intervals, along with all the major internal organs that we ( Hamsters with loin clothes ) share with Spiders & Newts.
This first worm was just as sophisticated ( survival wise & with less hubris ) as the monkeys that organ grinders use today to pick up poorly tossed coins. And this worm came into existence, not by making subtle changes to itself over a few million years, making itself into a much better sponge in a community of sponges… But by Random Mutations to it’s DNA.
i would like for you ( The Evolutionist Community ) to come up with a Rough Outline of that Process. To give you a heads up, or clue, or hint, of how this may have worked, The biggest, recently discovered mechanism that may have helped this process along, is that bacteria may be able to steal DNA from one Organism and sell it, for the right price, to Another Nucleus in the same pond. This is almost the same the process as i imagined it when i was 7 or 8. That of a Worm slowly making itself better, adding new organs over time, and prodding along until it became fully operational.
But of course; This doesn’t really fit very well with the way that evolution is supposed to work, with each worm being fully operational along the entire spectrum of worms.
The problem with Irreducible Complexity. The Evolutionists & IDer’s as well, are always looking for a killer example of Irreducible Complexity. This is where some Tiny Feature of an Organism just could not have come about by Evolutionary Randomality. This is like the man that is told he is walking through a forest, but he’s doubtful of this and wishes that; If only i could find a tree, Then this would provide me with the proof I need to give me some assurance that I am indeed in a forest. All of Life is Irreducibly Complex. There are No Examples of An AntiThesis to This Idea. And by that; i mean; When an Evolutionist creates A New Kind of Life ( Not simply Copying The Molecular Blueprints that have already been provided ) with A New Set of Amino Acids or An Entirely New Approach to Self Replicating Molecules, and then allow this Most Primitive Seed of Alternative Life to Develop New Features or Attributes, without External Assistance; That will be a Very Strong Argument for Evolution. It really seems to me, that creating a Self Replicating Molecular shouldn’t be all that difficult, Unless of course; There was some ( Deeply Magickal ) Trick to it.

3 of 10 Additional Observations.
One: One of the principle arguments for Evolution; Is that it very slowly crawled along, making tiny little changes to life forms over an incomprehensible length of time. Not so long ago; A Million was thought to be a big number. This was when the Brain was thought to have a few Million Neurons, And everybody thought that that would be plenty to make a mind work. Nowadays; An MP3 consists of several million bytes to record a 3 minute song. A Mere 560 Million Years ago, As recorded in The Burgess Shale Deposit in Canada, There was an Explosion of Life that drew a line in The History of The World, By Defining a Period Before this, As a World of Sponges; And The Period After, As The New World of MultiCelluar Animals of All Kinds. The Point that i find interesting; Is How Long would we Consider The Life-Span of any given Species? Humanimals were clearly apes about a million years ago, And HomoSapiens for, oh; say… A Quarter of A Million Years. And Smaller Animals might well be A Given Species for A Significantly Shorter Span of Time, But There were undoubtedly times when A Given Species didn’t significantly change for a longer period of time. So lets Conservatively say that Each Species is Reasonably Unique for About a Half A Million Years. That’s 1,120 Steps from Sponges to Human Beings. That seems awfully small to me. That a portrait of each of your ancestors; From a Sponge to You, On each page of Two Harry Potter Novels. And that’s ignoring The 250 Million Years, or 500 Steps that Mammalian Evolution came to a halt during the reign of The Dinosaurs. So that it’s closer to One Harry Potter Novel.
- -
Two: Before Human DNA was mapped out; Biologists believed vaguely that the number of significant instructions contained in our DNA would be in the Billions, And this was when a Billion was thought to be an incomprehensibly large number. Now it turns out that There are only <26,000> was < thought of as Junk DNA ) Actually do something very important, although no one has any idea how that might work.
- or -
B
- -
All these Exons are letters in an alphabet that fit together to make a much larger vocabulary of words that do all the real making of people.
The principle problem with - B - is; Where is the Dictionary that defines all these Words,
And Secondly; This would mean that any given Exon is used countless times, finding a useful purpose in dozens or hundreds or thousands of cellular mechanisms.
This would mean that if any one of these Exons experienced one of these mutations that are the bedrock of Evolution, It would change the functionality of all these different cells.
It is certainly hard to image any sort of mutation that would have an advantageous or benign effect on all those cells & their host organism if this is how it worked.
Even allowing that this is possible; It would mean that animals wouldn’t slowly change over time, But Catastrophically, as Stephen Gould expressed in his idea of Punctuated Equilibrium.
You would have, At every Transitional Stage; The Proverbial Chicken begin born from a Lizards Egg.
- -
Three:
It seems to me that for Evolution to work, it should always choose The Simplest Solution or Alternative, Rather than The Most Superfluous Version with UnNecessary Complexity.
Pragmatically; This would mean that if Two Self-Replicating Molecules or Organisms were in Competition, The Simpler, More Elegant Solution would gobble up The Available Resources before The More Complex Version could get out of Bed.
It may be argued that the more complex version would be better & faster & more efficient than The Simpler Variant, But The More Complex Model must have come from somewhere, and this was certainly from The Simpler Strain that existed prior to it, by a chronological measurement of - A Long Time -.
i am reluctant to say; Millions of years; Especially on a Molecular Level, New Versions may come about very quickly, But however long it took to come up with The New & Improved Version, The Older Model would have a well established foot hold.
This would mean that if A Self Replicating Molecule - -
which may or may-not, be spontaneously created under various circumstances
- -
Came into Being, It would very quickly Gorge Itself on All The Available Carbon, Hydrogen & Phosphorous molecules that were available to it, Leaving none for Competing Permutations.
In The Actual Primordial Sea; If such A Self Replicating Molecule were to have come into Existence, It should have turned The Entire Global Ocean into a Bowl of Jello in just a few thousand ( or less ) years. And once Established, Any force, such as Vulcanism, Lightning or Meteor Impacts that created a pocket of Free Molecules, They would be immediately ReAbsorbed by The Edges of The Existent Jello Mass.
No Higher form of Self-Replicating Molecular Activity would be given an Opportunity to Use Any of These Atoms to Try Different Designs.

3 of 10 Additional Observations.
One: One of the principle arguments for Evolution; Is that it very slowly crawled along, making tiny little changes to life forms over an incomprehensible length of time. Not so long ago; A Million was thought to be a big number. This was when the Brain was thought to have a few Million Neurons, And everybody thought that that would be plenty to make a mind work. Nowadays; An MP3 consists of several million bytes to record a 3 minute song. A Mere 560 Million Years ago, As recorded in The Burgess Shale Deposit in Canada, There was an Explosion of Life that drew a line in The History of The World, By Defining a Period Before this, As a World of Sponges; And The Period After, As The New World of MultiCelluar Animals of All Kinds. The Point that i find interesting; Is How Long would we Consider The Life-Span of any given Species? Humanimals were clearly apes about a million years ago, And HomoSapiens for, oh; say… A Quarter of A Million Years. And Smaller Animals might well be A Given Species for A Significantly Shorter Span of Time, But There were undoubtedly times when A Given Species didn’t significantly change for a longer period of time. So lets Conservatively say that Each Species is Reasonably Unique for About a Half A Million Years. That’s 1,120 Steps from Sponges to Human Beings. That seems awfully small to me. That a portrait of each of your ancestors; From a Sponge to You, On each page of Two Harry Potter Novels. And that’s ignoring The 250 Million Years, or 500 Steps that Mammalian Evolution came to a halt during the reign of The Dinosaurs. So that it’s closer to One Harry Potter Novel.
- -
Two: Before Human DNA was mapped out; Biologists believed vaguely that the number of significant instructions contained in our DNA would be in the Billions, And this was when a Billion was thought to be an incomprehensibly large number. Now it turns out that There are only <26,000> was < thought of as Junk DNA ) Actually do something very important, although no one has any idea how that might work.
- or -
B
- -
All these Exons are letters in an alphabet that fit together to make a much larger vocabulary of words that do all the real making of people.
The principle problem with - B - is; Where is the Dictionary that defines all these Words,
And Secondly; This would mean that any given Exon is used countless times, finding a useful purpose in dozens or hundreds or thousands of cellular mechanisms.
This would mean that if any one of these Exons experienced one of these mutations that are the bedrock of Evolution, It would change the functionality of all these different cells.
It is certainly hard to image any sort of mutation that would have an advantageous or benign effect on all those cells & their host organism if this is how it worked.
Even allowing that this is possible; It would mean that animals wouldn’t slowly change over time, But Catastrophically, as Stephen Gould expressed in his idea of Punctuated Equilibrium.
You would have, At every Transitional Stage; The Proverbial Chicken begin born from a Lizards Egg.
- -
Three:
It seems to me that for Evolution to work, it should always choose The Simplest Solution or Alternative, Rather than The Most Superfluous Version with UnNecessary Complexity.
Pragmatically; This would mean that if Two Self-Replicating Molecules or Organisms were in Competition, The Simpler, More Elegant Solution would gobble up The Available Resources before The More Complex Version could get out of Bed.
It may be argued that the more complex version would be better & faster & more efficient than The Simpler Variant, But The More Complex Model must have come from somewhere, and this was certainly from The Simpler Strain that existed prior to it, by a chronological measurement of - A Long Time -.
i am reluctant to say; Millions of years; Especially on a Molecular Level, New Versions may come about very quickly, But however long it took to come up with The New & Improved Version, The Older Model would have a well established foot hold.
This would mean that if A Self Replicating Molecule - -
which may or may-not, be spontaneously created under various circumstances
- -
Came into Being, It would very quickly Gorge Itself on All The Available Carbon, Hydrogen & Phosphorous molecules that were available to it, Leaving none for Competing Permutations.
In The Actual Primordial Sea; If such A Self Replicating Molecule were to have come into Existence, It should have turned The Entire Global Ocean into a Bowl of Jello in just a few thousand ( or less ) years. And once Established, Any force, such as Vulcanism, Lightning or Meteor Impacts that created a pocket of Free Molecules, They would be immediately ReAbsorbed by The Edges of The Existent Jello Mass.
No Higher form of Self-Replicating Molecular Activity would be given an Opportunity to Use Any of These Atoms to Try Different Designs.
Cell Phone Batteries...???
Something New Just Happened that has me Frazzled.
A nice lady just called me to -Ask- about a Review that i had left on Amazon.com concerning the purchase a month or so ago, for a BC-50 Cell Phone Battery.
These Batteries seem to be going out of production, and i base this on the observation that a year or so ago, they were selling for about $50, and i just recently bought one from Batteries Plus, here in Spokane for About $50. This one from Batteries Plus was not a Certified Motorola Battery, But a Ray O’ Vac Knock Off, and it only lasted 2 months.
So i Went online and purchased 3 more of them, all with The Motorola Brand Name on Them.
The Internet Links that i examined for this phone; A Tracfone, Motorola C261: Seemed to suggest that either the BC-50 or BC-60 would work with it.
So i bought 2 BC-50’s and one BC-60.
They were all < $5.00 Each.
The BC-50’s came first and i tried one for a few days, and was very unhappy with it.
It was not holding a charge for more than a day, perhaps less.
Then the BC-60 came and changed to it.
It worked very well, and a month later, is still working well, holding a resting charge for 4 or 5 days.
- -
So this lady calls me up to Ask about The Poor Review that i posted on Amazon.com about the BC-50 that i tried.
She was unhappy that this review was bringing their average down.
So she offered to refund my $10 ( or so ) if i would remove the bad review!
Ugh.
Then i hemmed and hawed and said that i didn’t really want to do that.
The Batteries ( from my experience ) seemed to be -Past Due- or some such.
So she then suggested that what may have been The -Disagreeable- part of The Missive; Was that i mentioned Batteries Plus and Ray O’ Vac, which had nothing to do with their company.
So i agreed with that.
She also said that she would refund the $10, or so, Irregardless of whether i removed the bad review or not!
So i suppose i will rewrite it, clarifying that i only tried one of the BC-50’s and they gave me a refund for my perception that it was performing poorly.
???
Obviously though;
Was she trying to manipulate me into removing an honest review that reflected poorly on their company…???
- -
So today; i tried to find that review and change it,
But i couldn’t seem to do that.
It didn’t seem to be with the batteries along with all the other reviews…???
But i did manage to add an update,
But then i discovered that you are not allowed to add a second review…
So Now.
i am thinking that i actually posted this updated version to somewheres else.
i am capable of this i’m sure.
- -
oh well.
The refunded $13.84 is in the bank.
And the name of that company was BargainCells.
- - -
A Slight Update:
So i was determined to follow their instructions and change or delete the review that i left for them, But now, after receiving detailed instructions as to how to locate and modify those reviews, i have discovered that -someone- -somehow- deleted them...!!!
So that the next time you visit Amazon.com and look through the reviews,
It is entirely possible that some of these companies have discovered a way to remove the reviews that they don't like...!!!

Hubble Telescope Rant
One of my many annoyances that i can’t quite resolve on my own,
Or perhaps i’m just too lazy to work this out.
But i have read in several different sources that it is infeasible to use The Hubble Telescope to Verify Whether or Not The Lunar LEMs are actually on the moon.
Supposedly the pixel resolution would render any given pixel on the moon as substantially larger than the LEMs.
But.
The Hubble Telescope can resolve individual stars in distant galaxies.
Granted.
The Stars are much bigger than a LEM or The Moon,
But the Galaxies are much, much further away.
It might also be suggested that these individual stars are actually a tiny subset of any given pixel, and are illuminating the entire box, so that it looks like an individual star,
But the actual pictures seem to suggest that each star has a circular disposition to it,
And details concerning the star can be derived from these pictures.
???
These Telescopes are now supposedly taking pictures of largish planets in different Star Systems.
These are also, Very far away.
As a small Digression.
In Star Trek, which i dearly love, The Bridge View Screen routinely showed a Star Field Whizzing by as they went about their way, Usually as Warp 6 or below, which was considered Normal Space Speed, Like 30_mph in the city.
This Warp 6 is Not 6 x The Speed of Light.
It is a Warp Factor, and substantially faster than that.
It might further be noted that The Scale for Warp Speeds was Changed from how it was used in some of the early episodes to the latter ones.
In one early episode; Mr. Scott bemoans that they are going ( in Circles at Warp 13 ) nowhere mighty fast.
Later on; The Limit of Warp Speed was adjusted to Warp 10, which was instantaneous Travel.
This brings up the problem of TransWarp Velocities, and Various Other Approaches which were thought to be Faster.
The Enterprise could manage Warp 9.x for Short periods, and for my point:
At Warp 9.x This would still be so slow that The Stars would appear Stationary.
The point being. Stars are Very Far Apart.
What am i to make of this?
More evidence that The Moon Landings were a Hoax.
Or-
The Images from Hubble are.
Or perhaps i’m just too lazy to work this out.

Productivity Substantially Reduced...
A Few things have happened to me recently which has substantially reduced my normal low productivity, to even less.
i fell down in the middle of august, while taking pictures, with my hands full.
i not only broke my digital camera, but i messed up my left wrist as well.
it may be something like a compression fracture or collis fracture.
it seems to me that the bones have just been pushed aside by about a half an inch.
while it was reasonably painful for the first couple of weeks, i can now type with it, and some of the strength is coming back, but it still doesn't twist well, and i can't really lift anything more than a pound or so.
One good thing that may have come from this; is that since my hip replacement a few years ago, i have been chronically hobbling around with a walking stick.
but now that i can't hold it, i have been forced to walk without it.
amazingly; to me, it turned out to be quite easy!
Then i got a new iPod Touch, and when i got it home, i found out that i needed to upgrade my computer Operating System to What is known as Snow Leopard.
i hate Snow Leopard.
this OS is two generations ( or more if you count the incremental upgrades ) above the architecture of my computer, and it doesn't run on it very well.
the most serious problems are with iPhoto.
But there are so many other little problems that i've had to restructure many of my folders and it's been a big nuisance!
another of the most annoying features of Snow Leopard is that two of my favorite extensions will not work with it.
one was to make the windows look more friendly.
And the other made the mouse pointer look like an arrowhead.
To my astonishment, when i set the controller to make the pointer slightly larger on Snow Leopard, it simply made the graphic of the pointer bigger, so that it's now all jaggy looking...!
that is unbelievable!
Then;
i downloaded a simulator of The HP42s, which i was once very adept at programming,
but now i can't remember how to write the simplest solver equation...!!!
so i am working my way through the manuals again,
and this is very depressing too.
what else.
i also downloaded this game for the iPod called Pocket Frogs.
it is totally stupid, and not even a game.
It is like a very pretty Tomogotchi ( Tomagotchi ).
You don't even have to remember to feed the frogs, they can take care of themselves.
so what is the point?
you can watch them hop around, and create environments for them,
and find prettier ones.
i was thinking that since a big part of this game is to breed them,
it would be interesting if you got unexpected results,
But you only ever get the predesigned versions.
anyways.
i'm addicted to it.
i have to check how they're doing every hour or so.

After 2 weeks...
on my other wrist, when i hold my hand like this,
the back of my hand is exactly level with my arm...???
it still hurts a lot, but i'm thinking, if it were broken, i wouldn't be able to type with it,
use it at all...???
i just hate going to the doctor though...
And now it's been 3 weeks, if it were broken, it as probably set up somewhat,
and they would have to re-break it to set it...!!!
i'll just wait another few weeks and see how it's coming along...!
One odd thing about this, i can't hold my walking stick anymore,
So i'm forced to walk around without it...!!!
Which i think is making my legs stronger, and i've noticed that my left ( good ) leg/and foot are no long falling asleep after i've been walking a few blocks...???
