I read a story once about a man and a woman who met and fell in love with each other. As time went on, they discovered that they both had the same birthday, and that they’d been born in the same city. Further research revealed that they were both orphans.
They learned that they were twins who had been separated at birth. Unfortunately, they didn’t find all of this out until after they’d had sex.
I imagine the family reunions were a little awkward after that.
Reproducing with someone as close as a first cousin, does not significantly increase risk of genetic defects or development complications for the offspring. It’s siblings and parents (and grandparents, though what a hideous thought) where the chance of defect skyrockets.
Did you know that all modern race horses descend from three common ancestors. They are probably the most inbred creatures on the planet. That’s why they run fast.
Sheikh Mohammed also has two wives. As well as being a bigamist, he’s first wife is also his first cousin.
The story of Adam & Eve always left me scratching my head. I wondered if they had children, didn’t their offspring have to reproduce with one another in order to keep the species going? I also wonder how far back you’d have to go to find a “common denominator ” ancestor, assuming such a person exists. I’d like to think we’re all related if you go back far enough.
Who was the first Mommy & Daddy for human beings? Aliens from outer space consorting with apes?
If you use the “ancient aliens theory,” we were genetically created, half hominid, half alien (or perhaps some other ratio). If you check out what lloyd pye has to say about it, he makes a pretty strong argument in favor of us being a combination of what was already here, and alien DNA. I’m not sure i “believe” that, but quite a lot of it makes sense, if you let yourself understand it. He also claims “bigfoot” or “sasquatch” actually exists, so, since most people disbelieve that, his credibility suffers. He posits that we’re actually an alien/hominid hybrid, created to be slaves… smart enough and sturdy enough to survive earth’s environments (which the aliens supposedly struggled with, or downright “couldn’t”), but designed to be weak enough to be easily controlled. We are perhaps flawed by design, intentionally, so that we could not overthrow our alien creators.
Either way you look at “Adam & Eve,” whether “God” created a first human, and then a second from him… or whether “the first human” was like the first chicken born from almost-chicken-but-not-quite parents… we are certainly all related. Or, perhaps there were several different versions of “first humans,” which occurred near the same time period in multiple places, and only each “race” is related to itself. But i mean, we’re all “human,” so it seems extremely likely that, despite our current mostly superficial differences, we must all come from the same origin. We’re too similar to ignore.
@clevername; That’s interesting. I only found out about “The Reptilian Agenda” recently, and it sounds like one more conspiracy theory to me. Who knows. I wasn’t around at the dawn of humanity, and there are so many theories floating around out there. It’s interesting to hear what other people think and scrutinize their assertions, but I don’t think anyone can authoritatively state how we all got here. The “Starseed” theory seems as plausible as other explanations people have come up.
None of this will affect the temperature of my beer, increase my chances of buying a Toyota FJ Cruiser, or help me determine who will win a future sporting event, so I don’t think it’s too terribly relevant.
Exactly. The way i see it, “aliens made us, but we can’t quite prove it” is a good enough answer, until i have better information.
Meanwhile, i would like to focus on experiencing the greatness that humans are capable of experiencing and appreciating. Apparently, i’m terrible at gaining access to most of those things… so i end up spending most of my time thinking about stuff.
Like… how can i make enough money to live where and how i want to live, and do most of what i want to do?
I have some ideas, some hypotheses… but none of them ever seem to account for the difficulties in my face every day. I am most likely doomed to the life that makes me want to just be done. I suppose i’ll keep trying until i can’t, even when sometimes i feel like it’s all just useless and impossible. I might as well live until i can’t, even if everything sucks.
I don’t think i believe in “reptilians.” But i have met people who seem to behave as those “reptilians” supposedly do, so maybe it’s just a glorified metaphor for cold-blooded people involved in a conspiracy to profit through the exploitation of humanity. Maybe the only way some people will “get it,” is if you show them pictures of lizard-people. Ever seen “They Live?”
@clevername: Dude, I love that movie “They Live”. It’s a classic.
I’m sort of embarrassed to admit this, but I’ve skipped many of your comments because I thought they were too long. This isn’t an indictment against you, it’s more like an admission of my own laziness.
Anyway, from this day forward I will try to read your comments in their entirety. You seem like an interesting, articulate person (even if you’re not exactly succinct). From what I have read, I agree with you 81.6% of the time.
I remember sitting next to this girl in my exams who needed two answer booklets, she had that much to write. She was a clever girl, which is why I sat next to her during exams 😉
Funny you should mention that, Duke. I knew someone that kept a copy of that book on their shelf at home. I asked him if he had ever read it, and he said no. He just wanted to keep his bookcase stocked with “smart looking” books. Hehe. I’ve never read anything by Tolstoy. This guy also had a complete set of Encyclopedia Brittanica’s which he’d never opened. Seems a little pretentious, but whatever.

Are we still doing the song title thing?
These general conversation posts do seem to get a lot of mileage, huh?
I really like Icke’s emphasis on “people are too busy surviving, to notice what’s going on around them.”
I was always more of an alex jones camper, but… the pro-wrestler tactics and theism stuff just became too irritating for me. He’s right, though, about quite a lot of stuff. There is indeed “a war on for your mind.” But even infowars must be taken with grains of salt and heaps of discernment. These days, it’s difficult to find, or know where to find, totally legit, clean information. Just about everything is “spun” or “twisted” or “repurposed” in some way. “The truth is out there,” but since it’s so readily available, it’s also easy to flood the info-plane with disinformation, and even fabricate false things to discredit just about anyone. The rules are: “consider the source,” and “follow the money.” If it doesn’t drive you insane, it’ll start to make lots of sense. And then you’ll want to pretend it’s not real, because it’s scary and horrible. I feel bad for choosing not to think about such things, quite often… but i’m just one unsuccessful guy with no resources, who can’t do anything about it… except wake people up to a terrifying reality they’ll resent me for revealing, thus making my own life more difficult.
@cosmic blip:
lol. Thanks for the compliment, sorry i’m terrible at conciseness. I love conciseness, but i’ve never been good at it. I’m just putting the words out there. No one is obligated to read any of it, but i tend to appreciate when they do.
I don’t really pay attention to song titles, usually. I listen to the musical notes and the lyrics, and I can usually identify the artist, but I don’t keep track of what a song is actually called.
Do you play a musical instrument? I dabble a bit – you could call me a dilettante. It seems like most of my original compositions sound reminiscent of Blue Monday by New Order. Not sure why that is – probably ’cause I use the same notes a lot.
@Duke: Wow, I’m impressed. The recorder? I thought that was a somewhat obsolete instrument. You don’t hear many recorder solos nowadays. The Triangle? I’m going to have to look that up. brb
If you ever decide to make an album, I suggest skipping the first 5 records and debuting with a greatest hits edition. That’s my plan.
First Album = Greatest Hits, Volume One
Second Album = Greatest Hits, Volume Two
etc.
I hafta to go eat. I might get a ham and cheese sandwich. There’s a NY style deli nearby with big screen TV’s that broadcast sports every time I go in there. It’s reasonably priced, and the servings are quite generous.
You know, none of this has anything to do with suicide. Are we in violation of the site rules posting random chattery like this? Who reads this stuff? Why would anybody care what I’m about to go eat?
I might get a carne asada burrito. Haven’t really decided yet.
This comment is a good example of why I sometimes skip multiple lined comments that other people write. I feel like I’m in a Seinfeld episode. You know, “the show about nothing”. I could keep writing gibberish like this, but I am hungry.
Hasta.
Alberto’s was closed. Why do some restaurants close on Sundays? Is this some holdover from a more religious era in history? It seems anachronistic to me, but I guess the employees appreciate having a day off.
So I went to the deli instead and had todays special. It was a sandwich with turkey, ham, provolone cheese and lettuce. I asked them to hold the tomatoes and mayonnaise.
The special includes a drink and one side. For the side I went with the mermaid salad. You can’t go wrong with imitation crab, right? This salad wasn’t the leafy green type. It had noodles or some sort of pasta in there, mixed in with the imitation crab. It was pretty good. The cashier knows my first name. He’s memorized it, I guess that means I’m a regular there now.
Were you perched on the edge of your seat, anxiously waiting to hear what sort of culinary selection I would opt for? No? Well, that’s ok.
Oh- There are no Generals in the Navy. The equivalent would be an Admiral. There used to be a guy on this site who called himself “Admiral of the Fleet”. I wonder whatever happened to him.
In other news, I’ve found a sure fire way to make it rain. * Wash my car* The last five times or so that I’ve washed my car, it rains within 24 hours. So now there are little dirty water spots all over my car. It didn’t even stay clean for one full day.
The NFL preseason starts in a few weeks. I’m going to predict that the 49ers make the playoffs. Any one wanna make a bet?
hehehe.@RT3; You’re not alone.
I thought the conspiracy theorists were funny when they had the power outage during last years Superbowl. C’mon, do people honestly think some SF fan snuck around back and turned off the lights? It would be kinda cool to pull off a stunt like that, though.
I’m lovin this o-o WHY IS ALBERTO’s CLOSED?! WHY GAWD?!
And cosmic they know me at the taco shop near my moms house back home because her and my dad had been in the area since before my older brother was born who’s um. 21 almost 22 XD
DON”T STIR PASTA WITH A SPOON YO. Knives are more fun.
“In other news, I’ve found a sure fire way to make it rain. * Wash my car*”
LOL.
I have another way: mow the lawn.
The grass in our back yard has got to be some sort of radioactive mutant supergrass. I feel like i just mowed it “the other day,” and it’s already starting to look close to knee-high again. It’s that kind of grass that’s always wet, even at 3pm on a hot summer day, and makes you move the mower at about an inch per second, or it kills the mower.
Idk about the NFL right now. I sometimes purposely avoid knowing about it. I won’t be able to make any predictions until i see some action on the field.
However, i did read that “my team” has made some personnel changes and some positional adjustments, which should be interesting. They lost two of their offensive “weapons” to free agency, but they’ve been keeping depth in the receiver position for quite a while now, so it might not matter.
If the niners play like they did last year, i think it’s reasonable to predict a playoff berth. Now that you’ve reminded me, i’m sort of curious to see how their QB, what’s-his-name-w/-the-tats, will do, with another training camp under his belt. That guy screams potential.
Even though american football has always been my preferred sport, being a pc gamer, snubbed for several years by EA sports, who refuses to port any further madden NFL titles to PC, using “because no market and piracy” as their ridiculous excuse… i have mixed feelings about football season. I refuse to purchase a gaming console for the purpose of a single game (okay two, if you count NCAA football). Those jerks won’t port and release, even though those games are built on pc’s! Loads of people would buy them, especially now, after so many years of them refusing to release them for PC. I guess they don’t want our money… which is the most absurd thing to ever expect me, or anyone else, to believe about EA.
The superdome is in new orleans. Do you have any idea how corrupt and crooked that region is? It’s entirely plausible that someone did it on purpose; probably someone with connections and money on the game. However, it’s probably also equally likely that it was just a bizarre coincidence.
@RT30
Why would you scratch the teflon coating? Who jabs the knife that depe into to the pot? You’re obviously not stirring enough which makes your pasta beign to stick which makes a spoon necessary. DUHH
@AtTheEnd; I’m currently doing time in a state that’s run by Mormons. I’m not actually incarcerated, it just feels that way. Between the liquor laws and the establishments that are closed on Sunday, I’m not feeling the separation of Church & State.
@clevername; Right on. Thinking about lawns depresses me. With the last house that I owned, I was anal about keeping up with the landscape. My neighbor had a dog who used to sneak over and take a dump on my perfectly manicured lawn. I tried explaining to my neighbor that this was unacceptable. So one afternoon I caught his dog leaving an unwanted “gift” on my backyard lawn. I scooped it up, walked to my neighbors house, deposited his “lost property” on his welcome mat then walked away.
Relations between us were strained after that.
My team is San Diego, but they always seem to choke in the playoffs. You have to be loyal to consistently support a team that let’s you down year after year. What can I say? I’m a glutton for punishment? I don’t learn from my mistakes? I keep hanging on to this optimistic belief that things will go my way, even though past experiences have proven otherwise. Oh well.
I like the Oregon Ducks, too. My sister has had season tickets for the last decade or so. She got me interested in them. Even though I’m originally from California, I love watching the Ducks beat up USC, Stanford, Berkeley, the Bruins, etc. I’ve never played Madden, so I can’t really respond to your dissatisfaction with EA sports. Sorry about that.
@cosmic
Haha wait what state? Is it Mitt Romney’s state? XD
Come back to SoCal o-o
I don’t like the Chargers….even less because they seem to choke at the first half or second half and ruin whatever lead they had.
I prefer my Fleur de lis
And the Philly Flyers (the original bad asses that made hockey a brawl)
Apparently 83% of the registered voters in this state are Republicans.
They pumped all sorts of funds into that Prop 8 thing a few years ago in California. wtf? People from outside of California were channeling money into a different state to help preserve “family values”.
I don’t think I’ll ever go back to live in CA (long story). I might go to Montana, though. Someplace that isn’t crowded, with lots of open space. I’m not a misanthrope, but I am tired of dealing with people. (another long story).
@RT3: A man’s home is his castle. If a dog walks over and takes a dump on my lawn, that’s an act of war. I feel compelled to defend my castle. (Even if I did over react). At least I didn’t shoot the mutt.
*cheers* clink*clink* Alcohol and firearms.YEEEEEHHAAAWWW
RT3: It’s a love/hate thing with SoCal. Seriously, I could write 100 lines of text about why I love it and why I hate it there.
“Anal” also means obsessive, like being “anal retentive”. It means you’re obsessed with details that other people don’t care so much about. That’s how I was with my lawn. I no longer have a lawn, so it’s a moot point now. (My former obsession with my lawn, and the desire to defend it).
@cosmic- I feel the same way about my home too. But it’s my home I guess, I try to support it. But I totally get what your saying. I could write about how it stinks too.

“Studies have shown…”

Sheikh Mohammed also has two wives. As well as being a bigamist, he’s first wife is also his first cousin.
Many of the traditions, conventions, and standards of modern society, are utterly arbitrary and based on misguidance.
The story of Adam & Eve always left me scratching my head. I wondered if they had children, didn’t their offspring have to reproduce with one another in order to keep the species going? I also wonder how far back you’d have to go to find a “common denominator ” ancestor, assuming such a person exists. I’d like to think we’re all related if you go back far enough.
Who was the first Mommy & Daddy for human beings? Aliens from outer space consorting with apes?
Studies have shown that 9 times out of 10…SHIT HAPPENS!!
..real statistical fact
If you use the “ancient aliens theory,” we were genetically created, half hominid, half alien (or perhaps some other ratio). If you check out what lloyd pye has to say about it, he makes a pretty strong argument in favor of us being a combination of what was already here, and alien DNA. I’m not sure i “believe” that, but quite a lot of it makes sense, if you let yourself understand it. He also claims “bigfoot” or “sasquatch” actually exists, so, since most people disbelieve that, his credibility suffers.

That’s where you’re wrong – Arctic Monkeys
Aliens can explain arctic monkeys

I’m having a conversation using only song titles. Its sad I know.
I’m confused. What about arctic monkeys? I don’t want to go down a google-rabbit-hole right now. Maybe another time.
@clevername; That’s interesting. I only found out about “The Reptilian Agenda” recently, and it sounds like one more conspiracy theory to me. Who knows. I wasn’t around at the dawn of humanity, and there are so many theories floating around out there. It’s interesting to hear what other people think and scrutinize their assertions, but I don’t think anyone can authoritatively state how we all got here. The “Starseed” theory seems as plausible as other explanations people have come up.
None of this will affect the temperature of my beer, increase my chances of buying a Toyota FJ Cruiser, or help me determine who will win a future sporting event, so I don’t think it’s too terribly relevant.
We can only know who isn’t winning horse races these days
Lame. Not even a song title.
Uh, -Bring on the Dancing Horses – Echo & the Bunnymen
Can’t believe no one mentioned Scissor Sisters.

What time is it now?
I don’t really pay attention to song titles, usually. I listen to the musical notes and the lyrics, and I can usually identify the artist, but I don’t keep track of what a song is actually called.

@ Cosmic Blip I certainly do play instruments.
I can play Hot Cross Buns/ Three Blind Mice on the recorder.
I am also proficient at playing the triangle.
@Duke: Wow, I’m impressed. The recorder? I thought that was a somewhat obsolete instrument. You don’t hear many recorder solos nowadays. The Triangle? I’m going to have to look that up. brb
I just found a Triangle online. Kudos for musical proficiency are being retracted.

Who’s your intended audience? Children?
No, I hadn’t really thought about them.

Farewell Cosmic Blip.
I could probably think of some depressing topics in anticipation of our next encounter.
you guys are too cute aha, its nice to see a change of atmosphere once in a while c:
How’s the weather (i mean, generally on planet earth), hoomanz?
General discussion – are we discussing Army generals, Navy Generals, historic generals, or the general particulars?
I’m generally ambivalent about opossums.
I think we’re discussing general malaise, major depression, and private parts.
My private parts are generally depressed. I blame society for enforcing such strict underwear standards on us. Those bastards.
@cosmicblip-
I’ve read every comment on this post including your last! I have to say..I think I can go on with life another day now! Thank you! ….!!!!!!
Now I see why “searchingformeaning” gets so hungry when they are here!!

Even though american football has always been my preferred sport, being a pc gamer, snubbed for several years by EA sports, who refuses to port any further madden NFL titles to PC, using “because no market and piracy” as their ridiculous excuse… i have mixed feelings about football season. I refuse to purchase a gaming console for the purpose of a single game (okay two, if you count NCAA football). Those jerks won’t port and release, even though those games are built on pc’s! Loads of people would buy them, especially now, after so many years of them refusing to release them for PC. I guess they don’t want our money… which is the most absurd thing to ever expect me, or anyone else, to believe about EA.
@cosmic blip:
HA!
The superdome is in new orleans. Do you have any idea how corrupt and crooked that region is? It’s entirely plausible that someone did it on purpose; probably someone with connections and money on the game. However, it’s probably also equally likely that it was just a bizarre coincidence.
@AtTheEnd-
That will scratch the Teflon coating brother!! Where the hell have you been? We’ve been asking about you!! lol
@cosmic- O.O I am one of those conspiracy theorists!! lol
@RT30
Why would you scratch the teflon coating? Who jabs the knife that depe into to the pot? You’re obviously not stirring enough which makes your pasta beign to stick which makes a spoon necessary. DUHH
Also. I have been here and there. Mostly there.
@AtTheEnd; I’m currently doing time in a state that’s run by Mormons. I’m not actually incarcerated, it just feels that way. Between the liquor laws and the establishments that are closed on Sunday, I’m not feeling the separation of Church & State.
@clevername; Right on. Thinking about lawns depresses me. With the last house that I owned, I was anal about keeping up with the landscape. My neighbor had a dog who used to sneak over and take a dump on my perfectly manicured lawn. I tried explaining to my neighbor that this was unacceptable. So one afternoon I caught his dog leaving an unwanted “gift” on my backyard lawn. I scooped it up, walked to my neighbors house, deposited his “lost property” on his welcome mat then walked away.
Relations between us were strained after that.
My team is San Diego, but they always seem to choke in the playoffs. You have to be loyal to consistently support a team that let’s you down year after year. What can I say? I’m a glutton for punishment? I don’t learn from my mistakes? I keep hanging on to this optimistic belief that things will go my way, even though past experiences have proven otherwise. Oh well.
I like the Oregon Ducks, too. My sister has had season tickets for the last decade or so. She got me interested in them. Even though I’m originally from California, I love watching the Ducks beat up USC, Stanford, Berkeley, the Bruins, etc. I’ve never played Madden, so I can’t really respond to your dissatisfaction with EA sports. Sorry about that.
@AtTheEnd-
Uhhhh…I’m done eating..it was quite good! 🙂
Ok cool….be gone with you! hehe jk
@cosmic
Haha wait what state? Is it Mitt Romney’s state? XD
Come back to SoCal o-o
I don’t like the Chargers….even less because they seem to choke at the first half or second half and ruin whatever lead they had.
I prefer my Fleur de lis
And the Philly Flyers (the original bad asses that made hockey a brawl)
Hehe.. “Anal”
I can see the greeting now: “welcome to SP…yeah, come talk about grass, football, and pasta with us! …oh and here’s a gun!”
*cracks open a beer*
CHEERS!!!
Apparently 83% of the registered voters in this state are Republicans.
They pumped all sorts of funds into that Prop 8 thing a few years ago in California. wtf? People from outside of California were channeling money into a different state to help preserve “family values”.
I don’t think I’ll ever go back to live in CA (long story). I might go to Montana, though. Someplace that isn’t crowded, with lots of open space. I’m not a misanthrope, but I am tired of dealing with people. (another long story).
@RT3: A man’s home is his castle. If a dog walks over and takes a dump on my lawn, that’s an act of war. I feel compelled to defend my castle. (Even if I did over react). At least I didn’t shoot the mutt.
*cheers* clink*clink* Alcohol and firearms.YEEEEEHHAAAWWW
Anal. Everyone, lets welcome Anal.
I duno wtf you’re talking about 😀
@cosmic- you make me want to move out of Cali now! lol and I wasnt analyzing your whole comment on the lawn fact…just the word “anal”! lol
Hehehe.. But right on..stick that shit to your neighbor! lol let him smell it!
RT3: It’s a love/hate thing with SoCal. Seriously, I could write 100 lines of text about why I love it and why I hate it there.
“Anal” also means obsessive, like being “anal retentive”. It means you’re obsessed with details that other people don’t care so much about. That’s how I was with my lawn. I no longer have a lawn, so it’s a moot point now. (My former obsession with my lawn, and the desire to defend it).
@AtTheEnd- can’t stop me from leaving a comment here about your post! 😛
……uhhhhh… Poo!! Frenchy!! hehe that is all! 😛
@cosmic- I feel the same way about my home too. But it’s my home I guess, I try to support it. But I totally get what your saying. I could write about how it stinks too.
…but you gotta love this place sometimes!! 😀
