Mercury 'turns birds homosexual'

This shows that homosexuality in animals that function without advanced operating systems might be a disease.

Will mercury have the same effects on the hominidae family? Imagine the possibilities on overpopulation!

The population will be controlled by planes and helicopters that will spray cities with a mercuric chloride (HgCl2) solution. This will kill many many people and turn many to gay :P objective achieved ;)

Laser-Guided Slingshot is Do It Yourself Project

An improvement of the slingshot would be to leave the bolts free to rotate, add a servo mechanism in order to synchronize the laser with the movement of the bolts and fasten the bands tightly on the bolts in order to rotate the bolts according to their angle. \m/

Why should we invest more in space and marine exploration

Hi!

How y'all doing? I'm fine too, thank thee :)

In this post, I will argue on the need to invest more money in the exploration and colonization of the solar system (and beyond) and the depths of the sea.

Throughout history, human kind has been defined by expansion. With expansion I mean habitat expansion. This expansion is required or encouraged by:
  • Overcrowding
  • Lack of resources
  • Quests for glory (not the legendary Sierra game) and wealth
  • Scientific (or just plain simple) curiosity and search for adventure
  • Possibly other reasons that I cannot think of right now :P
Except from expanding their territories, humans also explore to escape from unbearable situations in their previous locations. In this case, the territory is not expanded; it is displaced. Thus, it can also shrink.

Let's now see if the reasons for expansion are valid for our time:
  • Overcrowding
    • It's high time to find an escape from this discomfort except committing suicide (BioTek - Die Sect), killing each other and not giving birth to anything.
  • Lack of resources
    • We need more resources.
  • Quest for Glory - Wealth
    • Human nature
  • Adventure - curiosity
    • Human nature
As for the gradual destruction of our territory, it is an undeniable fact. (we've marked it not just by pissing on it)

Having discovered the whole world (as our satellites have proven), we must now turn to more difficult endeavors, in order to survive as a species (in the long run) and in order to avoid future financial crises and wars.

The last two can actually be connected ([1] [2] [3]) in the fashion that financial crisis causes war, which can be viewed as the solution for the crisis due to the development for war, during the war and after the war.

So, we should go forth and explore the far reaches of space and depths of sea. It is essential for our survival.

Ta ta,
elias a.k.a. diluted
