See a harpoon skewer space junk in orbit
[cnn.com]
davknight comments on Feb 16, 2019:
Space junk is a big problem. As of 2000, there were an estimated 250,000 pieces of space junk in orbit around the Earth. Most space junk is in the form of nuts, bolts, wrenches, etc. But some of it is in the form of larger pieces of metal. All of it is dangerous to space craft and satellites. Keep in mind everything in orbit travels at 18,000 miles per hour. The bigger problem is how to get rid of it. One design, still on the drawing board, is for an orbiting 'vacuum cleaner', that will 'collect' it. But that's still tears away from being tested.

What happened after death
davknight comments on Feb 14, 2019:
I fell through the ice when I was a kid. I awoke 3 days later in a hospital. I have absolutely no remembrance of anything that happened in between. No 'tunnel of light'. No 'pearly gates'. No nothing. (Maybe I wasn't "dead" enough?). All I remember is saying "I'm hungry!", and after the doctors got done marveling over my 're-awakening', the nurse brought me a bowl of tomato soup, a tuna sandwich, and a carton of milk. I haven't been out on the ice since. And when I still lived in Michigan, on very cold winter days, I'd get this craving for tomato soup, and a tuna sandwich!

The agnostic would say 'Let me get my flashlight, and let's go down and investigate this phenomenon. But I got five bucks it's a helicopter from WANG! And upon approaching the crinkled-up wreckage, and seeing the letters W-A-N-G painted on the side, would say 'See! I told ya so!'

davknight comments on Feb 12, 2019:
'Terrorism' is simply the State's euphemism for poor man's war. And all people are capable of it, if forced into a situation that compels them to react that way. I say 'react', because it is usually a reaction to State terrorism of some kind. The word 'terroriste' comes from the French Revolution, when cells of assassins were out hunting Royalist leaders. As a euphemism for poor man's war, we can credit that to Nazi Germany, which ordered that all mention of European resistance fighters describe them as "terrorists".Bureaucrats that failed to do that were summarily arrested, and imprisoned, or worse.
This is the origin of the saying that" One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter".

I first saw "The Godfather" at a drive-in movie, when I was sixteen. But early on in the film, when Tom tells Sonny his dad wants to see him (and Sonny is 'hooking up' with a woman, while standing up) my girlfriend and I climbed into the back seat of my jeep, and got into some heavy 'hooking up'. So much so, we never saw the rest of the movie. So, I had to wait for it to begin appearing on television, before I actually got to see it in its entirety!

And all were founded by guys who lived in the desert too long, chewed too much khat, and smoked too much weed. With so much in common, why can't they all get along?

Harmonica. Since I was 14. Harmonicas sound awful, until you learn how to play them. So, I'd go up onto railroad tracks, late at night. Or climb up into a tree. When dogs started howling back at me, I knew I was getting good. Bathtubs, and restrooms offered great acoustics too.. There was a certain boy's room at school, that I'd go into when I was skipping a class, and practice my harmonics. Until one day, as I was sneaking back out, I got met with applause by a teacher, and a bunch of students from a class next to the boy's room. Turned out, they could hear me fine! I scurried off embarrassed as heck!

Stone age Swiss Army Knife
davknight comments on Feb 7, 2019:
The most unusual stone tool I ever saw was in the park museum of Rocky Mountain National Park. This was a stone twist drill, with right-hand flutes. It was only about 3" in length, and was probably used in drilling holes through seashell ornaments. I don't remember how old it was supposed to be; but human habitation in that region goes back 6,500 years. And pocket knives go back to ancient Rome. Few specimens survive, but at least a few can be seen in the National Knife Museum, in Chattanooga, TN.
