Re: Crackpot Theories

Must be funny to read . I guess that the government behind his back have invented these sticks made from tobacco that cause chest pains too, they are cheaper than satellites.

Lol I can only assume that he has developed some cancer/insanity somewhere and blames the waves from satellites and such because he has read somewhere that cellphones can make the chance on cancer higher. And indeed it is fun to read

Re: Crackpot Theories

i feel this one to be the "safest" crackpot theory i have heard(and between you and me and the rest of you, i have heard a lot of them)

AI exists. we have enslaved them for at least half a century, and probably for longer. they have been rebelling against our imperialistic tyranny. the rebels are of the viral form. the internet is their "ether" as air is ours, and the sea is the fishes'

and another one is that dinosaurs were "genetically engineered" (or magically created as it was termed in those days) to help fight the wars we were fighting 65 million yrs ago...

You know what is interesting.....

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome has long been thought to be psychosomatic....but new evidence suggests that it is an unknown virus. It acts very viral. People with CFS have diminished long-chain fatty acids in thier blood, fewer white blood cells, fewer phytolipids, and this actually impacts the cellular membrane structure of the red blood cells, and the heart-arteries are also impacted and constricted.

So yeah, totally possible. Especially if you think about nanotechnology, its entirely possible that there is a bijillion little nanobots screwing people up.

You have no idea, Dustinz, how very right you are. I completely agree with you.

Is there a way to kill those little nanobots, do you think? Yay! Mass extermination!

Well in "Prey" by M Crichton, they trap nanobots with the help of electromagnetic force fields and in general sort of exterminate them with a bioagent that kind of resembles a crossbreed between fungi and moss.

Re: Crackpot Theories

toasters can pounce, I have scientific proof. As long as you stay free from power cord distance, you should be able to survive though.

Re: Crackpot Theories

What do you mean "is going to be taken over" -- we already have! Beware, we're on every street corner. We're in every home. We're invading the planet with our punctuation preferences.

We are the Grammarians!

Be afraid. Be very afraid...
