In my opinion those vile creatures are all demon possessed. 😈
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. "Peaceful nuclear explosions" is certainly a contradiction in terms, if there ever was one! Thankfully this ultimately dreadful idea never went any further up the decision-making ladder than it did. I'm not surprised that the US and the USSR tried it first before agreeing to ban it by treaty though. They were the big boys and they had much larger tracts of uninhabited land to try these kind of risky nuclear experiments out on than had Britain. Pretty much anything went back then in the heady days of the height of the Cold War.
Returning to Northern Virginia, I realized there was a nuclear reactor built in the 1950s for research in a similar way less than 5 miles away from where I work every day. Decommissioned some time ago but only recently scheduled for dismantlement.
That would be at Kjeller. There is another one in Halden, further south and close to the Swedish border. Breivik had plans to blow up both.
I didn't know that. Boy, that man really was crazy.
Interesting. A case of art imitating life imitating art perhaps? It seems that sometimes even the fantasy world of James Bond is too close to the bone.
I also read about an Italian university that cancelled a course on Dostojevski, more than 150 years after the author s death, because the man was Russian. You cannot blame morons for being morons, but they shouldn t run universities.
That could explain the Spring Heeled Jack mystery perhaps.
It must have been the damn Russians. Or God.
Who knows? The stones are probably only some cosmic joke anyway. We're looking for meaning where there likely is none.
People have been searching for meaning where there is none since the dawn of our kind. The best example of that is probably astrology.
Yes, I think or is part of our nature as human beings in idle moments to ponder what we are and how we and the world came about. Without getting too phosophical I'm sure many of us wonder about these things from time to time. Of course some of our species don't see any further than the end of their nose while others find solace in religion and holy books or in science and evolutionary theory. The two don't have to be mutually exclusive of course, as in the case of the Christian Scientists. All too often, however, science and religion have been opposing camps.
As for astrology I'm sure you're right on that but I have an esoteric friend called Olaf who maintains that, for instance, Hitler's horoscope showed all the peaks and troughs of his life from birth to death. There is evidence to suggest that Hitler was influenced by such astrological charts and he clearly saw himself as a Man of Destiny. There's also the fact that the various star signs often seem to match with the characteristics of those born under that sign. Research has shown that babies born in the autumn/winter seem to do better academically than those born in the summer so the date of our birth does seem to determine one's life to some extent, if perhaps not cosmically. Of course there are many other factors at play like genetics, environment, upbringing, general health and wellbeing and how well off our parents are and so on. I tend to agree that it is all nonsense but then there's enough evidence in the other direction to make one wonder if there's not something, however small, in it as well.
The time of year in which you are born will likely dictate at what age you begin school, and whether you're a bit older or a bit younger than the others. It has nothing to do with the relative position of celestial bodies. There isn't any evidence in the other direction.
No, and I wasn't trying to say it proved that astrology was right, just that the time of year you are born does seem to tally with how well you do academically. There have been studies into this and their findings do tend to show that when you are born is one determining factor in how well you do at school. Of course, there are many other factors at play, but when you are born does seem to affect your academic performance one way or another.
Well it might not be as simple as that, especially where the ages are closer together. According to the findings a child born in July, the oldest in their given school year, shouldn't do as well as a child born in October. If these research findings are correct, surely the slightly younger child has the better chance academically?
Doesn't school start in autumn in an awful lot of places? Anyway, I'd love a link!
