false vacuum event

basically this part of space might not be a physical vacuum, but in the measurement of physics, is a bubble of particles held slightly above "zero". if this bubble were to pop, everything would end and collapse and we wouldn't even be able to tell that it did before we were gone.

so effectively, since that consequence will never be observed, it will never, effectively, exist?

Woah..

might exist as that question hasn't been answered yet, but yeah.

Platypus' are the only venomous mammal. The males have a stinger on their right back foot that can kill small animals.

Platypi are one of the few mammals that lay eggs.

They also produce milk, being mammals and all. However they have no teets. So the mother roles on her back and secretes milk, allowing it to pool in her fat rolls and the babies come and lap it up.

Platypusses also have an organ in their nose that detects minute electrical impulses. Such as those given off by crayfish and Other prey.

I didn't know they produced venom. I thought they just collected some nasty bacteria on the stinger thing.

You made me second guess myself so I looked it up http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platypus_venom.

It seems that they're only venomous during mating season. And they can't kill larger animals or humans. It just hurts like all hell.

Thank you for helping me refine my platypus facts. I have a bunch more but I can't remember them right now. They're great for breaking awkward silences.

Locusts are ordinary grasshoppers that have an overcrowding response triggered in their listening organs (their legs).

Just yesterday I was telling someone that President Garfield was split-brained. He could write one language with his left, another with his right, and speak at the same time. Truly an incredible talent!

things changed based on your expectations. these expectations are not normal variety but deep seated beliefs like turning the faucet on for water.

with faith you can believe the impossible because you believe in a power connected to you and all things. anyway, with this kind of thinking you can begin to reform reality according to your desires. it works best when you have the best interest of all around.. others will know your true intentions (there are no secrets to the observant but even if they don't consciously understand it will affect there attitude towards you.

one day we will fly without wings... that may be sometime off or tomorrow.. it will only happen when we vanquish doubt by intentional striving for what is good and right.

when everyone wins the world is free again as it always was but appearances blind us.

Cleopatra lived closer in time to the moon landing than she did to the building of the Great Pyramid at Giza.

I can make cats love me by blinking very slowly at them (their sign for peace and love).

I do this all the time with street cats. I've kind of become the local 'cat guy' who walks around and is friends with all the neighborhood cats.
