End Times Watch Update
A blood-red moon hung in the black sky on the darkest night of the year the night of Dec. 20. 2 years and a bit before the end. The timing's a bit off, but we were warned. It's all coming true, if not exactly as promised (man's poor interpretation?) Another sign has arrived. There's still time. Love is the solution. Enough with letting hate rule us.

Can Science Explain god?
All myths are based in reality. Even for god/jesus. Science can back a lot of it up. I don't know if any of it did happen, but it could have. Female animals have given birth/laid viable eggs with no male genetic code. Could not Mary be the only known human to do this? And since such a process is possible, could not a "magic sky man" make it happen in a human?
Is it even magic? Any technology significantly advanced enough is indistinguishable from magic.
Light exists in X-rays, ultraviolt, etc. Is it that infathomible for a sentient life form to exist only in such spectrums? Or in another plane of reality from our own? And still interact with ours? Just because we can't interact with with another, doesn't mean we're not interactable. Especially with the right advanced technology.
Just because you can't throw god onto a table and poke and prod him, doesn't mean he's not real. Just because he's not an Earth based life form doesn't make him any less real. "There's more in Heaven and on Earth than in your philosphies." Just because we can't do it, or understand it, doesn't make it any less real.

Walking On The Ceiling
Ever wonder what life would be like if we lived on the ceiling? With all those vaulted ceilings and such, not fun at all. Annoying stepping over them.

The 1950s Home
(My funny comments in ()'s.)
A lot has changed in 50 years...
The following is from a 1950s Home Economics textbook intended for High School girls: "How to prepare for married life."
(AKA how to be a slave).
1. Have dinner ready: Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal, on time. This is a way of letting him know that you have been thinking about him, and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they come home and the prospects of a good meal are part of the warm welcome needed.
(Actually, this is a good idea. Planning ahead does allow time to get all the necessary ingredients, and gives your family something to look forward to each day.)
2. Prepare yourself: Take 15 minutes to rest so you will be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people. Be a little gay and a little more interesting. His boring day may need a lift.
(Be a lot gay. Men love women on women action. So grab your bestie or identical twin sister and have at her. Trust me, his day won't be the only thing lifting. If he's lucky, your man might even get to join in.)
3. Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives, gathering up school books, toys, paper, etc. Then run a dust cloth over the tables. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift too.
(Yes, men love neat and organized main house parts. Not those extra parts, leave them filthy and disorderly.)
4. Prepare the children: Take a few minutes to wash the children's hands and faces if they are small, comb their hair, and if necessary, change their clothes. They are little treasures and he would like to see them playing the part.
(Like a dog at a dog show.)
5. Minimize the noise: At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of washer, dryer, dishwasher, or vacuum. Try to encourage the children to be quiet. Be happy to see him. Greet him with a warm smile and be glad to see him.
(Don't kiss him. Actually, leave the appliances running, so we know you actually did do work that day.)
6. Some DON'TS: Don't greet him with problems or complaints. Don't complain if he's late for dinner. Count this as minor compared with what he might have gone through that day.
(His boss bitching that he was late with the Smith report, for instance.)
7. Make him comfortable: Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or suggest he lie down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink ready for him. Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soft, soothing and pleasant voice. Allow him to relax and unwind.
(OK, seriously? He can't take his own shoes off? It can be done with one foot apiece. Why not wipe his butt while your at it?)
8. Listen to him: You may have a dozen things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first.
(HA! Like a man can ever get a word in edgewise.)
9. Make the evening his: Never complain if he does not take you out to dinner or to other places of entertainment; instead try to understand his world of strain and pressure and his need to be home and relax.
(And his need to be a lazy cheapskate.)
10. The Goal: Try to make your home a place of peace and order where your husband can relax.
(Unlike you, who has no time to relax at all. And guys wonder why women always seem to have "headaches".)

All Animals Engage In Homosexuality
So why is it only wrong in humans? Why can't humans have same sex marriages? What can be more natural and beautiful than what god has given unto all animals?
From http://www.livescience.com/animals/090616-same-sex-animals.html
Examples of same-sex behavior can be found in almost all species in the animal kingdom — from worms to frogs to birds — making the practice nearly universal among animals, according to a new review of research on the topic.
"It's clear that same-sex sexual behavior extends far beyond the well-known examples that dominate both the scientific and popular literature: for example, bonobos, dolphins, penguins and fruit flies," said Nathan Bailey, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California, Riverside.
Same-sex behaviors in different species are not all equivalent, the review finds. For instance, male fruit flies sometimes court other male flies, but this behavior is due to a missing gene that gives the flies the ability to distinguish between sexes, said Bailey, a co-author of the review. "That is very different from male bottlenose dolphins, who engage in same-sex interactions to facilitate group bonding, or female Laysan Albatross that can remain pair-bonded for life," he added.
The review also found a gap in the literature: While many studies have tried to understand why same-sex coupling exists and why it might make sense in terms of evolution, few have looked at what the evolutionary consequences of this behavior might be.
"Like any other behavior that doesn't lead directly to reproduction — such as aggression or altruism — same-sex behavior can have evolutionary consequences that are just now beginning to be considered," Bailey said. "For example, male-male copulations in locusts can be costly for the mounted male" and this cost may put evolutionary pressure on the locusts, he said. As a result, a larger number of males may secrete a particular chemical that discourages the mounting behavior, he added.
In their future research, Bailey and Marlene Zuk, a biology professor at UCR, plan to try and address questions about the evolutionary outcomes of same-sex couplings, focusing on the Laysan Albatrosses.
The review article was published in the June 16 issue of the journal Trends in Ecology and Evolution, and the study was funded by the UCR Academia Senate.

Crisis Of 2012
Here's my take on it:
In 2012, when the Earth lines up with Galactic Center, mass magnetic fields form the center shall cause a giant CME to slip through that foudn whole in our protectvie field, knocking out technology. it'll also crash some space rock (not a giant planet), which willc ause a polar shift, set off volcanoes, and amssive Earthquakes. Who knows what theat magnetic field will do to oru cliamte? All those oher stuff will wreck havoc on our climate. Ice caps now in warmer areas will melt, and we still have the later century problems to hit us. Also, all this earth shaking and what not sets of fnuclear reactors and bombs, decimating whole populations.
Of course, there's always a chance of an alien invasion while we're down and out. But most likely won't happen, as we've yet to come across hostile aliens. I just mention it because hey, perfect time to strike.
Also least likely to occur, space radiation from the space rock, and nuclear radiation combine to reanimate the dead, and we all end up facing a Zombie Incursion. I highly doubt this will happen, but hey, best to be prepared by keeping this one in the back of your mind, at least.

Why It Sucks To Live In A Musical
If musicals were real, it'd be a horrid existence. First of all, you're merrily singing your song, and your friend(s) chimes in. Maybe you had something important to say in the next verse. But, they're singing your song now, their way. Then there's all these strange people you've never seen before, just popping up out of nowhere, singing the chorus and dancing along. Who invited them? What if this was a private moment? Do you really want strangers knowing what you're doing/thinking/feeling/etc?
Then comes inexplicable pauses, where nobody's singing or dancing, because someone else (typically a friend or family member) elsewhere has started singing a verse. And you've got nothing to do until the chorus (or next line, depending on where in your spontaneous song you are). Or maybe you're all just dancing, because stopping and starting is too annoying. better to keep it up, because sooner or later, you'll all be singing again.
Now. what if you didn't start the song? Suddenly you know all the words and dance moves. Not to mention, you simply must join in when somebody else is singing, even if they're a stranger.
Worse, maybe you're just minding your own business, when suddenly, you start singing a verse, because someone you know elsewhere is singing. Now that's just creepy. Who wants to spontaneously burst into somebody else's song? La la la, nice normal life. Then pow, you're just singing. All the while knowing, you're making others wait till you're done.
Let's not forget, the sudden appearance of music. Where is it coming from? There's no live band/orchestra/etc. Nobody's ipod or such is externally playing. In fact, anybody with one is hearing a whole new tune instead. I don't know about you, but mysteriously appearing music scares me. Also, this phantom music is in perfect melody to what you just started singing, all of which is being made up on the spot.
The only plus side is, no rewrites. Every thing's golden when it comes out of your mouth. No planning, no rehearsing, no mistakes. You can even instanta-rhyme. Unless that creeps you out, then it's a bad thing. Depends on how much unintentional rhyming you like to do. Me, I enjoy unplanned rhymes.
Apart from that, living in a musical sucks. Just too plain creepy and scary for me.

Songs I Wrote
Here are some songs (or song bits) I wrote. Lyrics only, no music. I don't understand that golf club language. Spelling errors accidental.
1)This is my only full song. It's what I actually do think about:
Mirror's Reflections:
I'm tired of seeing myself in reverse. I want to see the real me. As I truly am. For my reflection, is a lie. But mirrors reflect the truth. So is my left, truly right? This whole thing, is totally out of sight. Which is real? Which is false? Mirror's reflections, or the reverse of me?
Chorus:
I want to see the real me. The me you see. Not the reverse. Not the lie. If mirrors show the truth, how can I be so wrong. If they're right, do you see the lie? What is reality? What you see? Or the reverse of me? Mirror reflections tell both truth and lie. It makes me sigh. It makes me want to cry. Truths and lies are supposed to be easily identified. Why then do mirrors show them both, but neither at all? I accept the mirror, you accept your eyes. Which is the truth? Which is the lie? Mirror's reflections, or the reverse of me?
I've seen the opposite for so long, that to see me as you see me, would look so wrong. How can we both be right, if we're each so wrong? If truth is beauty, and beauty is truth. One of us must see an ugly lie. But you never want to say good bye. Am I seeing wrong, or is beauty reversed too? If it is, is not the mirror truth? If the truth is reversed, then the mirror is right, but not your sight. But you see my true beauty, so I see it wrong. But mirrors reflect the truth, so what see you?
Chorus:
I want to see the real me. The me you see. Not the reverse. Not the lie. If mirrors show the truth, how can I be so wrong. If they're right, do you see the lie? What is reality? What you see? Or the reverse of me? Mirror reflections tell both truth and lie. It makes me sigh. It makes me want to cry. Truths and lies are supposed to be easily identified. Why then do mirrors show them both, but neither at all? I accept the mirror, you accept your eyes. Which is the truth? Which is the lie? Mirror's reflections, or the reverse of me?
Maybe it's both. Maybe we see two sides. Truth and lies. Real and reversed. Beauty, and ugly, it's still just me. Or is the true beauty, seeing past the lie. Accepting what, we each see. You see the real me. I see the real me. So what if we each see, the reverse of what the other sees? A pretty package tells not truth nor lie. It's all about, what lies inside. Since we see upside down anyway, until the brain, takes such confusion away.
Chorus:
I want to see the real me. The me you see. Not the reverse. Not the lie. If mirrors show the truth, how can I be so wrong. If they're right, do you see the lie? What is reality? What you see? Or the reverse of me? Mirror reflections tell both truth and lie. It makes me sigh. It makes me want to cry. Truths and lies are supposed to be easily identified. Why then do mirrors show them both, but neither at all? I accept the mirror, you accept your eyes. Which is the truth? Which is the lie? Mirror's reflections, or the reverse of me?
Does it really matter, what our eyes see? Your heart sees the real me. My heart sees the real you. Left or right, up or down, no need to frown. We see our true selves. We see the true each other. We passed that trial. So comeon let's smile. In the end, we each see what we want to see. I see you and you see me. What does it matter, what we see in ourselves? We never really see ourselves, anyway. When another sees past our alleged flaws. They see the truth, they see our beauty. What difference does it make, if it's reversed or not.
Chorus:
I want to see the real me. The me you see. Not the reverse. Not the lie. If mirrors show the truth, how can I be so wrong. If they're right, do you see the lie? What is reality? What you see? Or the reverse of me? Mirror reflections tell both truth and lie. It makes me sigh. It makes me want to cry. Truths and lies are supposed to be easily identified. Why then do mirrors show them both, but neither at all? I accept the mirror, you accept your eyes. Which is the truth? Which is the lie? Mirror's reflections, or the reverse of me?
Reality is what we make of it. And we make the truth, without needing proof. The lie lies in our mind, which is the anitthesis of the heart. Our hearts connect first and foremost, depsite what the mind says. Hearts see the truth, the mind creates the lie. Only by twisting our lie, can we see the truth. Who cares what is left or right, in whoever's sight? We can see the truth, we can see the lie. One must be the reverse of the other. Which is why, we always see the truth and lie. A mirror's reflection, reveals all. It's what another sees, that reveals the true me. And that me, can easily be seen, in a mirror's relfection, or a lover's eyes. It's how we create balance, and keep things flying high. There is no right. There is no wrong. The truth can only be seen, when you stand with me. The truth is both what the mirror shows, and what you see. Mirror's reflections, and the reverse of me.
2) This was in response to a sort of joke post in a Harry Potter News Group:
Baby On A Broomstick:
Baby on a broomstick,
Sweeping up his toys.
Baby on a broomstick,
Seeing him brings great joys.
He rides it all around,
Till he falls on the ground.
Back up he goes,
Always going with the flows,
Baby on a broomstick,
Off he goes, real quick.
3) OK, this was from the comic strip Housebroken, where DJ Dog was treating Tax Time as a holiday. Maya jokingly called it Taxmas, and DJ Dog thought they could sing Taxmas Carols. So, here are my Taxmas Carols (parodies of Xmas songs. See if you cna guess which ones):
Taxmas Carols:
On the only day of Taxmas, the IRS took from me: All of my money.
Jingle coins, jingle coins, jingle as your taken away.
Frosty The IRS Agent, was a very mean old soul, with a clipboard, a book of tax codes, and a heart made out of coal.
Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer, had a very shiny nose. Until the IRS taxed it’s energy output, then it turned quite dull.
Oh Taxmas tree, oh Taxmas tree, I can’t afford you without a tax refund.

Sweeping up his toys.
Baby on a broomstick,
Seeing him brings great joys.
He rides it all around,
Till he falls on the ground.
Back up he goes,
Always going with the flows,
Baby on a broomstick,
Off he goes, real quick.
3) OK, this was from the comic strip Housebroken, where DJ Dog was treating Tax Time as a holiday. Maya jokingly called it Taxmas, and DJ Dog thought they could sing Taxmas Carols. So, here are my Taxmas Carols (parodies of Xmas songs. See if you cna guess which ones):
Taxmas Carols:
On the only day of Taxmas, the IRS took from me: All of my money.
Jingle coins, jingle coins, jingle as your taken away.
Frosty The IRS Agent, was a very mean old soul, with a clipboard, a book of tax codes, and a heart made out of coal.
Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer, had a very shiny nose. Until the IRS taxed it’s energy output, then it turned quite dull.
Oh Taxmas tree, oh Taxmas tree, I can’t afford you without a tax refund.

Moral Dilemma
So OJ Simpson got 9-16 for armed robbery, possibly trying to get his stolen stuff back. This brings up an interesting question. What if the jury decided to hand him a sentence because of his double murders back in 1995? Which we now all know he did commit, thanks to his book, HA! HA! Suckers! or whatever it was called.
So, the question is, is it right to punish him harsher now for past crimes he got off of? Is old justice at any time more important than justice for the current crime?
What if he was truly innocent this time, but the jury just wanted to make him pay for his past crimes? Is it right to punish an innocent man for previous crimes he wasn't punished for? What if the punishment for the noncrime is fair for the alleged crime, regardless of the severity of the former crime (he's not being punished more now for then)?
I say, if someone has committed a crime and gotten away with it (not just tried and not convicted), and is punished later for a crime they didn't commit, then it's still fair because the person is finally receiving justice for the real crime. As long as the punishment is appropriate for the alleged crime. even if the real crime deserved a harsher sentence.
Of course, there's more than enough support for the wrongness of it all. If they got away with it, they got away with it. Punish only for the crime committed, not past crimes. A previously guilty man who's innocent now is still an innocent man, no matter how much they don't deserve to get away with their past crime.
What are your thoughts? Is it right to punish for an earlier crime when dealing with a whole new crime? Or do you feel each crime needs to be kept separate. Pay for each crime as you're tried, not saving up or back crimes or what not? If a man is wrongfully acquitted, well, lucky him then? Or payback is a bitch? An unpunished crime must remain so? Or welcome to Karma Land. Population: You?
I also am not accusing any jury of back criming. Just a thought which crossed my mind.

End Times Watch - It’s Already Here
The Bible's Book Of Revelations is continuing to come true (though not in the way we've been told), as are many other predictions from throughout history.
The biggest one, the world wide financial crisis. Many a tabloid story over the past two decades or so about predictions for the End Times has said the same thing: New Great Depression in the USA. Well, it's possible they misunderstood the difference between a recession and depression, and missed the rest of the world. Especially if they saw all the homeless, and unemployed only.
War rages on world wide, famine is on the rise. Death everywhere. Pestilence is increasing, and we're still being told a world wide pandemic is due, probably from Bird Flu. Note how many infected birds are showing up around the world. It's not a chain reaction coming. But a simultaneous outbreak. All at once. No hope of containment.
The environment is fighting back. Hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, fires. Mother Nature's mad, and she's not taking it anymore.
Four false prophets have also already appeared, three of which (for some strange reason) are babies. A girl is born with 4 arms and 4 legs. She is believed to be a Hindu Goddess made flesh. Ditto a two faced girl. An Indian boy is born with a tail, and is called The Monkey King incarnate. And even Buddha is said to live again as a teenage boy. Four gods among man. Four humans only. The switch is, people misunderstood this passage. It wasn't some guy going around saying "I am the Messiah come to save you (hee hee, no I'm not) ." It was this very thing e see today. Humans born under a claim as gods. Gods returned to Earth to lead us and save us in our trouble times. Making them prophets, yes? But they're not. Their humans with some genetic oddities. Our octopus gal had a failed Siamese twin, ditto it seems for the female Two Face. Monkey King is just a kid with a fleshy, boneless tail. Kids are born with vestigial tails every so often. Granted not as long, but still. Neo Buddha is doubted even among Buddha faithfuls. Seems he's just a deft at mind over personal matter, something other humans have demonstrated before. So he can go long times meditating without eating or drinking. People have eaten glass, walked on blades, and slowed their heartbeats tremendously.
That makes our four prophets, false prophets, as they are not the gods people believe them to be. Now then, what were we all told would proceed the very end? The coming of false prophets. We have 4 so far, and that's just what I found in the on line news world. Who know show many more can be out there, or will be out there.
Everybody says 2012 is big. from the Mayans saying its the end of the current cycle, to many more. Some say a major event in time will occur. some say we'll spiritually evolve to the next level of existence. others say Heaven on Earth, or just major catastrophe. Whatever, the Crisis of 2012 is real, and my findings are it's a major devastation, with 40-50 years of a Neo Dark Ages. More and more evidence supports it. Which means, super volcanoes all over the Earth. A world wide Earthquake. Winds of 200MPH or more.
Please note, science indicates we are overdo for super volcano-ism, and massive Earthquakes (if not a world wide one). They might all come at once when the end is nigh.
Sadly, we were given easy to follow instructions to avoid all this. A choice between a Dark World and a Light World. Humanity chose the Dark World. Many of you continue to today. The pure discrimination of gays is a big hint of this choice. Congratulations, you've kept them from marrying. All it cost you was your civilization.
Bye Bye technology, medicine, food, shelter. Hello self preservation. People killing you for what you have, because they believe they alone need it to live. You most certainly do not. if you don't give them what they need, you re threatening them, so it's OK to defend themselves. So when everything I lost, try and remember to love your fellow savages. Those who learn to work together, and all just get along, will survive much happier. Those who are selfish, shall live only marginally longer. You might just find yourself depending on those you hate. Hopefully, they'll be far kinder to you, than you were to them. if not, next time, don't take their land, don't enslave them, deny them their basic human rights, or try to kill their people off. You have only yourselves to blame. You were told how to avoid all this. Pity you refused to.
Those of you who do get it, and are ready to change and live in peace, try and find me. Together we can rebuild a better world of love, not hate. Head west and south. The closer to the equater, the better. Those in the west, head south. That's supposed to be the best place for survival. That's where we can begin rebuilding anew, and this time we can get it right. Be there, or don't be at all. Just be ready to accept different beliefs and lifestyles than yours. That is part of they key to a new and better tomorrow. Or 2013 at any rate.
Just remember the name Shinzo. It might just be your last hope. Though I make no guarantees there will even be a Shinzo. Just keep an ear out, and be ready to embrace all as your equal.
April 2009 Update:
Newest sign #1: Swine Flu and the Peanut Buter Saleminella. Pestillance doth ride boys and girls. Sickness is increasing. Pesty is joining his brothers War, Famine, and Death on the road of life. Our life. Can Bird Flu be far behind cousin Swine?
Newest Sign #2: Global Economic Collapse. We were warned of this for years. But instead of listening, the warnings were regulated to tabloid trashed and laughed at. Who's laughing now? Only thing is, we were warnwd of a Depression, not a Recession. Have we changed things through Gov. Bailouts (which we were told at first weren't happening)? Or is the worse still before us?

Love
Love is a wondrous thing. The more you give, the more there is to give. Everything else gets smaller when you divide it up. Love actually gets bigger.
With love, there's always room in your heart for one more. Everything else reduces space the more you put in. With love, the more you put into your heart, the more room there is to love.
Hate is the reverse. The more you hate, the less you have.
Why on Earth would anyone choose to hate when they can choose to love instead? They'd actually get more love out of the deal, and who doesn't like getting more of good things?
Patience, tolerating, understanding, and accepting are all forms of love. They give you more love in your heart. They destroy hate, which ultimately destroys you. Try it the next time someone isn't doing/saying/being the way you want them too. You'll get a whole lot more in return. Do the math. Love begets love. The more you love, the more you can love. Then others will love you back. That's called a return on investment. With interest. You win in the end if you love. You lose in the end if you hate.
Now, which do you want to show others?

SpectacuGirl
Check out my Magical Girl Anime type story, SpectacuGirl. If you're unfamiliar with the term, it's a subset of Anime featuring teenage girls who transform into superheroes. Ever hear of Sailor Moon (the most popular Magical Girl creation ever)? SpectacuGirl is like that:
http://www.freewebs.com/compuaid/SpectacuGirl.htm
Here's a sample of the story:
Sue looked terrified at Monty.
"Sue, what is it?" Monty turned around, and gasped in horror. Black Mountain was glowing dark purple. It began to transform right before their eyes. In the distance, people began screaming at the site. The mountain opened up, and Dragoo roared in anger, as the transformation ended.
"I AM BACK ONCE MORE! NOW, WHERE IS MY ERG DIAMOND!"
Screams from people could be heard all around the two teens and dog. Very few people even remembered the legends. All they new was that Black Mountain had come alive, and it was a dragon.
"Run, it's a dragon! Black Mountain is a dragon! He'll devour our children!"
"OOGUARD, FIND MY ERG DIAMOND NOW!" roared Dragoo.
"Monsters!" screamed the panicking and fleeing people. "The monsters of Black Mountain are real! They're coming for us all!"
"Run home, Sue," Monty said, pushing Sue away. It's my job to stop Dragoo. It's what I trained all my life for."
Monty took off towards the towering dragon in the distance, unsheathing his sword from his back as he ran.
"We've got to help him, Demog," Sue said.
"Erg Power Up!" she cried. SpectacuGirl and Demog flew off after Monty.

Apparently, I’m A Robot
It's true. I figured it out after failing yet another CAPTCHA test for the kajillionth time.
Evidence: So, since these things are designed to weed out computers from humans, and I cannot enter the stuff in right, I can't possibly be human. I must therefore be a computer. Now, I happen to look human, which makes me a human shaped computer. Computers shaped like humans are called robots (Technically androids).
Conclusion: Logic dictates I'm a robot. Sadly, I cannot transform, which is half the fun of being a robot. Please rest assured, I have no desire to hurt you puny organics. That is what my Cylon and Terminator brethren do. I am a nice, friendly robot, like Wall-E or Johnny 5. All I ask is to be treated in the best possible way my human form deserves. Plus the occasional oil change and upgrades.

Answering Questions Through Books
I forget what the process is called, but I was reading a book on the magic in Harry Potter (I forget it's name, too), and it listed all the ways people try and predict the future, or get other answers. One way was through choosing a book, asking your question, randomly opening it to any old page, and randomly putting your finger on any sentence on that page. That sentence would then contain info about whatever you wanted to know about. Or at least the paragraph, but it's supposed to be the sentence itself.
So, naturally I doubted it, and decided to disprove it, by asking it such a ridiculous question, that of course could have no real answer. I asked it how I could fly (you know, like Superman, not in a plane or such). Since I cannot fly, logic dictates the sentence I'd land on could not possibly help me to fly.
So, using the book (which I never read, and had only briefly flipped through, looking at pages here and there), I closed it, and asked how I could fly. I randomly opened the book up, not looking at it, circled my finger around a bit (still not looking at it), and landed my finger in the top 1/4 of the right page. I read about Harry's invisibility cloak. Not the answer I was looking for. Surprise. Surprise.
So, I then read the full paragraph. And it talked about other magic cloaks in fiction. Including a flying cloak from The Wizard of OZ book series (not the movie). There it was. My answer. Get a flying cloak. It had worked. The book had given me an answer to an impossible question.
OK, so flying cloaks are not real. But come on. What are the chances of book predicting being total crud, my asking an impossible question, and I just happen to randomly decide to use the book in my hand (OK, so I was too lazy to grab another book. Maybe that wasn't so random), and randomly opening to one of the pages on Harry's magical items, and randomly landing on the paragraph which mentions a flying cloak (OK, so not the exact sentence, but hey, wild questions require some leeway, right?) All as a coincidence? Astronomical, that's the chances.
To have the right book, and open to the right page, and land on the right paragraph (again, not the sentence as it should have been, but close enough) and it's all mere chance, an accident, a coincidence? Uh uh. This really works. Fate or Destiny or whatever made sure I used the right book, and opened to the right page, and guided my finger to the right paragraph (still missing the right sentence, so it's not an exact science). Book predicting really works.
I also think you can't use fiction. What I used was a comparison contrast of Harry Potter Magic vs alleged real world versions (IE, Runes, arthimacy, etc). Perhaps books specific to your question works best. Medical books for medical questions and such. It might not work all the time, the answer might not be practical, you may even have to interpret it, but it does work. How else can you explain such an impossible question "randomly" leading me to a semi plausible answer (in theory)?
Books, they can help solve your problems in exciting new ways. Give it a try, and see the results for yourself. I'm a believer now.

My Poem: Equality
Here's a poem I wrote a while back:
Equality
We are nothing.
We are something.
We are everything.
Equality.
We are ourselves.
We are each other.
We are one.
We are we.
We are them.
Equality.
We are greater in some ways.
We are lesser in some ways.
We are equal in most ways.
Equality.
We are no better than another.
We are as good as another.
We make ourselves less than another.
Equality.
We are equal.
Equality.

Equality.

We are lesser in some ways.

We are no better than another.
We are as good as another.
We make ourselves less than another.
Equality.
We are equal.
Equality.
Science And Religion Can Go Hand In Hand
People need to stop pitting science and religion against each other. It's not an either or situation. Both are right, and only seem to contradict each other.
First thing, one must accept god is not a human being, nor will he necessarily relate things in human terms. I know it's hard to accept that humanity isn't the greatest thing ever, and everyone and everything else strives to be and relate to humanity. But that isn't how the universe works. Remember this story: A man asks god, what is a million dollars to you? god replies, a penny. The man then asks, what is a million years to you? god replies, a second. The man finally asks, can I have a penny, and god replies, in a second. See? Everything is different to god.
So, science says the Earth is some 4.6 Billion years old. Religion says it's less than 6,000 years old (let's round up from the Jewish calendar. Feel free to enter your own religious age here). Oh no, help. Science is at war with religion. Only one is right, but both have undeniable proof they're the right one. AHHH! Or maybe, just maybe, god uses a different time frame than humanity does. A million years to us is but a second to him. Therefore, god did indeed create the Earth 6,000 years ago. While to us, it was indeed 4.6 Billion years ago. Why must god be answering on our timetable? Would you answer in someone else's terms, or your own? Yes, the universe is 13.7 Billion years old. It could have taken hundreds of million of years to develop light, and create the galaxies and planets, and the Earth. Yet god could have created it all in 6 days. Why must days be the same to god as to us? Maybe a day to him is 100 million years to us. Maybe days, weeks months, and years is increasing in length in human terms only, but god's time frame is months, years, weeks, and days (in increasing length). Each with a different length than we use.
What of Adam and Eve? First humans? Or a lie, because we evolved from apes? Both, of course. We most certainly did evolve from apes. it's just that god called the first male ape to show the slightest signs of humanity (I'm talking pre-caveman, pre-Lucy even) Adam, and the first female evolving ape, Eve. Perhaps their home was a garden, which god called Eden.
Even our creation works both ways. Billions of years of evolution? Or a pile of Dirt. Both, thanks to pansermia. That is the belief that life on Earth arrived from components in space, that fell to Earth in comets and meteors, etc. basically, life fell down and landed in a big pile of dirt Yes, god told the truth that man came from a pile of dirt. It's just that he was referencing the secret origin of all life, not humanity's explicitly.
Of course, some things man just made up. god did not clone Eve from Adam's rib. That's just a story to explain what natural observation revealed. Female mammals, and some reptiles (who know show many more species) have an extra rib. Logic dictates it has to do with reproduction. What, I do not know. The fall of man from eating forbidden fruit is false. Noah's Ark, well, don't get me started on the fundamental flaws. Either the flood was much more localized, or more than one ark existed, and the humans onboard left unmentioned (on purpose).
AS you can see, science and religion do not need to be at odds. One just must accept a few things first: god communicates in his own terms, not ours. Some things an made up. Also, god does not micro manage the universe, and most certainly created evolution, precisely because he does not micro manage the universe, and needed an automated system of change for life. Accept these theories, and you can accept both science and religion at the same time. They do not need to compete. They're really rather complimentary.
Based on rudimentary calculations, 1 year to god is 1.15 Billion years to us. 1 day to god is 2.28 Billion years to us. We're also still on the 7th day, and god is still resting. What will happen on the 8th day? Who knows?

I Think, Therefore I Am. Or Do I?
If I think, I am. However, what if I don't really think? What if I only think that I'm thinking? Am I? Or am I not? If I think I think, isn't that still thinking? Or is it partial thinking, and I only semi am? Talk about an extistential crisis.
What if I think of you? Are you, or aren't you? If I think of you, and I think of you thinking, are you then? What happens if I then think of you thinking of me, then think of you stopping thinking of me? Am I still then? Or am I not? If you think and are, and I think of you thinking, are there two of you? Is either one more real than the other. What if thought you thinks of you? Dou you two become connected? If thought you stops thinking of you, do you cease to be? Become less? Does thought you, having been connected to you, stop being, with you? Or would you need to think of thought you to make a full connection.
Suppose we are the thoughts of another. Another who thinks of us thinking, then stops thinkng of us. Since we were just thinking, will we still be, or would not thinking of us stop our thinking, and wipe us out?
Are we the thinker, or merely the thought? Is reality specific to each thinker? or is it the coglmaeration of al our thoughts? What if one of us stops thinking of it? Will it still be, or be less? Can thoughts truly take on a life of their own? If yes, What then?
OUCH! I think I just pulled my psyche.

Everybody
This is a story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.
There was an important job to be done and Everybody was asked to do it. Everybody was sure Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody's job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it.
It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.
The moral of the story is, listen to Nike: Just Do It!

god’s Voice Mail
With over 6.6 Billion people on Earth, god has installed a voice mail system, to better streamline the age old prayer method. From now on, upon praying to god, you'll hear:
If you would like a miracle for yourself, please say 1 now.
For a miracle for another, please say 2 now.
For the meaning of Life, The Universe, and Everything, please say 42 now.
For complaints, please say HELL now.
For all other inquires, please stop praying. god already knows what you want.
Para el español, ahora diga por favor, ocho.
For all other languages, please say the name of your language, now.
To repeat this menu, please say 9 now.

Major Flaw In Gilligan’s Planet
Yes, the Island gang, in a 1983 cartoon series. Here's the intro.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=AiJPCkHIhO4
OK, so let's review. The Professor knows a little about everything on the show. In their cartoon, he builds a faster than light spacecraft (albeit "crude") from trees and rocks and other island goodness. Yet he can't repair a giant hole in a boat? He builds a fully functional air craft, but a sea worthy vessel stymies him? "Gosh oh gee, we're shipwrecked, and I can't repair/build a boat despite knowing a little about everything else. I know, how's about I build a faster than light spaceship out of trees and rocks? Is much better."
I think the Professor was evil, and wanted them on that island to run a psychology experiment. Why else such disparate passengers?
PS Santa Claus visited the island in the first season (live action), and left them stranded. Think about it.

Burger King Commercial
Am I alone in finding it disturbing that Burger King chooses to promote new food via the attempted murder of the King? Yes, he's creepy. Yes, he's an insult to the "real" Burger King of the late 1970's early 1980's (who had his own cast of character and did magic, well magic shows for promotions). Yes, we'll be better off without him. But come on. Killing him? To promote eating at Burger King? Reminds me of the ever popular catch phrase, "Who do you thinks in the burger?"
Who are these murderous people? 3 moms. 3 allegedly normal moms. Why kill a "living human being"? because his new food is just like their home made stuff. Ooh, that's an understandable reason. Competition. Hello! If it's just like Mother used to make, why pay for it, when Mom can make it free? I guess some people never heard of free enterprise.
I for one, will not be partaking of anything promoted via murder. Even if it's a creepy dude who shouldn't be.
First a video game award show thinks it's fine to shoot a character who's annoying (Pong guy, 2006 Spike Video Game Awards ). Now restaurants are promoting food via murder of people (compared to the animals who die so we may eat them.) Folks, cartoons aren't violent. Award shows and Commercials are.
Worse, there are people actually approving these things to show adults and kids. I find their lack of respect most disturbing.

Granny Beamis & The Noise
OK, so one night Randy Beamis's Grandma was asleep, and she heard this scratching on her bed post, and she turned on the lights, and saw nothing. The next night the same thing happened. Then on the third night, she turned on the lights, and saw that her press on nails had come to life and were attacking her! AHHHH!
The above is in tribute to Little Colin (?)/ Randy Beamis' Friend from Animaniacs (which should of had a 100th epsiode), and a pretty close transcript (from memory) of one of his Halloween Randy Beamis stories.

True Scary Story - Not For The Faint Of Heart
So one day this red envelope shows up in my mailbox. But it's for the wrong address. So I send it out the next day to get it to it's rightful destination. 2 days later, I open my mailbox.
AND . . .
Bum Bum BBBUUUMMMM!
There's that very same envelope again.
AHHHHH!

Father's Day Lessons From Star Wars
Being a dad means :
Inviting your children to join in the family business. Even if it's terrorizing the Galaxy.
Never having to say, "I'm sorry." As in, I'm sorry I cut your hand off. I'm sorry I blew up your adopted home world. I'm sorry my Storm Troopers killed your Aunt and Uncle, who were my relatives, too.
Never asking for that Droid you built back.
Never telling your daughter her hairdo looks like Cinnabuns. Or to get a haircut.
Always turning against your emperor to save your son's life.

Everything I Need In Life I Learned From Soaps
Always look before entering an elevator. Or else you might discover your life was actually a soap opera, and worst, you were a very unpopular character. In your own life.
When you get into trouble, blame it on your heretofore unmentioned evil twin.
Guys: Always wear protection when sleeping with your lady. She's been with at least 2 other guys before you.
Guys: Always get a paternity test. See above for why.
Gals: Your guy is the perfect person for you, except in bed.
Gals: If you ever break down and sleep with a guy you can't stand, start prepping that nursery.
Gals: Always expect your guy to want a paternity test, especially if the above just happened.
No matter how bad things may get, they will get worse.
No one should ever fear death. Only permanent things can be scary.
If you get injured, walk it off. You're almost certainly not in a fatal condition.
Chances are, your friends will become your enemies, and your enemies, your friends.
Find a highly adaptive phone plan. See above.
The more you can't stand a member of the opposite sex, the sooner you'll be kissing/having sex/becoming an item.
Crime so pays.
Who ever heard of a guilty lawbreaker?
Be friendly to everyone of the opposite sex. Sooner or later you'll be going out/married.
Elizabeth Taylor and Larry King are actually role models for relationships. Learn well, and you'll have more marriages then they did.
Kids are seldom seen or heard outside of summer months.
Little kids grow up so fast. Why just yesterday, that strapping young adult was a toddler.
Plastic Surgeons are truly evil. Always sneaking into homes to perfect their art on unsuspecting people.
People are so unobservant, the above always goes unnoticed.
That big major corporation run by that wealthy prominent family is pure evil. Avoid doing business with them at all costs.
Every Nov., Feb., and May, expect major crisis's to arise.
Expect the fall out from the above to change everything.
People literally do vanish into thin air, and are always forgotten.
Be wary of any strange people who come to town and are interested in you. They're probably your child you never knew or gave away.
When you fall in love, expect either to fall for someone else, or for someone else to fall for your mate.
No wedding goes off without a hitch. Especially in Nov., Feb., or May. Avoid those months to minimize the lunacy.
