Alternative title Full to Bursting. So. Today was my ultrasound. It was interesting. I had to drink two pints of water an hour before my appointment. I decided not to pee after 2:30 as my ultrasound was at 4:40 and I had to try and get two pints into me by about 3:40. I carefully measured out two pints to drink and I think I did pretty well to drink it. By 2:30 I came up with a pun. I'm past the point of no pee-turn I love puns, even ...

Actually, I was going to write about the potential value of growing flesh from their own stems cells for cannibals and for vampires growing blood, but there aren’t all that many people who would be interested in such food, but specially gene tailored flesh from some animals could be grown that way, and it probably will be a delicacy in a few decades.

Suddenly I hear this noise, like something ...
Within the last few days it occurred to me that I might have been mistaken; there might be more than one race within the human species, but skin color isn’t relevant. I guess the seed was planted when someone asked me about the Blood Type Diet. But the race determiner isn’t blood type; it is the Rh factor. Then I found a website that suggested this also http://rhnegativebloodsecrets.blogsp...nderthals.html . This site makes some assertions that may not be ...
In Medieval times literacy was for clerics and few others. Umberto Eco quoted one thinker of that period as saying something along the lines of Paintings are the books of the illiterate was a commonplace. I have looked for this a few times but without success. I have also thought about it and the implications of those two types of perceiving and communicating. I believe that the difference still exists. I don't know what the official literacy rate is, but it probably overstates literacy ...
