10 Most Lethal Toxins Known to Humans - Video

I recently stumbled across a video that spoke about the 10 deadliest and/or lethal poisons (toxins) known to man, humans or however ya want to phrase it.

My first reaction was: Why would you want to air a video that broadcasts such things, as it may be fuel for an aimless idiot with nefarious intentions, to get motivated and scatter some of these proclaimed poisons of utter death and gloom. But then again, this is an open network here, so let's have some fun! Ha-ha!

From 10 to 1, the crazy, high-paced video speaks about the toxins: Cyanide, Anthrax, Sarin, Amatoxins, Strychnine, Mercury, Tetrodotoxin, Ricin, VX (used in chemical warfare as a nerve agent), and Botulinum Toxin (it is considered the most powerful neurotoxin ever discovered).

Watch the quick video "10 Deadliest Poisons Known to Humanity," below:

[Video is no longer available]

Since we are on this toxic subject, after viewing the video, I ran across a web page entitled "Deadliest poison known to man proves to be a savior," which spoke about one of those lethal toxins being used to help humans - in certain cases & doses, of course. [Link has been removed since they now require the reader to register to their website.]

Also, the highly toxic "Amatoxins" listed in the video, stems from the "Death Cap Mushroom."
I once promoted a product (and still do today), Milk Thistle, that was used long ago for combating the ill effects of the poisonous Death Cap; although I didn't bother mentioning it being used for amatoxins (since that is not a common reason to need Milk Thistle) on the page I'm about to link to, you can still find the post about this beneficial, herbal form of liver detox, here: "Liver Detox - Milk Thistle."

Anyway, I hope everybody steers clear from the poisons listed above, and that you found the quick flick interesting, for what it's worth...

Moldavite - Mystery Crystals from another world?

Well, this really sounds like a mundane topic, now doesn't it? Ha! Okay, maybe slightly otherworldly, but either way, moldavite is a part of Earth now... 

There is some debate about the origin of this pretty-looking, glass-like crystal, but I'd say most people would agree that it came from some type of meteoric collision. Here's an excerpt from Wikipedia, stating such things: "It is also widely argued that the moldavite glass was formed 15 million years ago during the impact of a giant meteorite in present-day Nördlinger Ries. Splatters of rocks that were melted by the impact cooled while they were actually airborne and most fell in central Bohemia - traversed by Vltava river (German: Moldau). As such the glass can be found in the Czech Republic, Austria and Germany. Isotope analysis of samples of moldavite have shown a beryllium-10 isotope composition typical of the Australasian and Ivory Coast tektites." 

In case you're wondering, "tektites" simply means via Merriam-Webster Dictionary: a glassy body of probably meteoric origin. That definition is sort of funny because it is not often you'll see the word 'probably' when defining what a term means. 

In metaphysics, which is how I came across these expensive, rare crystals while I was going through a phase where I was buying these metaphysical stones & crystals at an alarming rate - not to practice woo-woo metaphysics - but because I thought they were decorative and neat to look at; ha-ha! 

Anyway, if you're an avid mystic, these mystery crystals from another world are believed by many to have special metaphysical powers and to supposedly be useful for the oddities that have incarnated into Earth from other sectors of the universe (I know the feeling - ha!). Hell, who knows, maybe it remedies nostalgia. 

Personally, I think they are attractive but too expensive - due to their rarity. I read on Wikipedia that the total amount of Moldavite scattered around the world is estimated at only 275 tons. That isn't a whole lot, when you think about it in comparison with other things found on this planet. That 275 tons is counting all of the moldavite that hasn't been mined yet, so the number of circulated Moldavite would be even smaller. 

Other uses besides the supposed metaphysical properties and its obvious ornamental use, is hand-crafted jewelry. I actually own a small piece of this otherworldly crystal, and it was quite expensive considering how small and lightweight it was. It was regular grade, as high-quality and/or museum grade would have been even more pricey. Anyway, all this "from another world" talk brings me to the real reason for this post. I mainly just wanted to provide a friendly image (too bad it isn't larger) featuring an extraterrestrial body of rock colliding with the peace-loving blue planet known as Earth, below: Related Blog Link: "Metaphysical Myths?

Internet Explorer (IE) 9 Sucks!

I'm one of those folks that are usually one of the last to update their IE browser, and with many good reasons. I like to wait several months or longer, just to give Microsoft some time to fix most of their errors, work out the kinks, correct the glitches, create patches, etc. Why I have to wait on such things from a company that shouldn't have these problems to begin with, still amazes me today.

Anyway, I gave in the other day and figured that I have waited long enough, and frankly I was tired of seeing the "Download Internet Explorer 9 Today" campaign. After downloading this supposed super-safe, super-fast IE version of a browser, let me tell ya, I sure made a mistake!

It was by far the worst browser I have had in a very long time, if not the absolute worst ever! In simple terms, "it sucks!" For one, it was a lot slower. It seemed to be more invasive like it was busy recording all of your movements and websites that you visited. Some websites just flat-out wouldn't work. For the ones who have adverts on their sites, it even screwed up some of those, as well. Several videos on certain websites wouldn't play anymore, and to top it off, it wouldn't even let me publish blog posts on blogger.com or allow me to edit my posts on one of my paid domains! WTF?

Anyway, I had a backup browser just for these special fun-filled moments provided by Microsoft, and that was the Firefox browser. Firefox has always been reliable thus far. ...But get this: I updated Firefox and now it is starting to suck as well! It keeps trying to record my last session! Who in the hell wants their web search history recorded on a shared computer or even on one that isn't shared? So now, I have to open a blank tab every time before I exit, so it won't record the last page I visited, but that's another topic, as we are talking about IE right now.

Okay, well, a person may ask: Why do you still use Internet Explorer 8, 9 or whatever? For starters, I quickly uninstalled IE 9 and am now back to using IE 8 (which isn't that bad). Secondly, the ONLY reason I still use Internet Explorer is because I have a few websites and blogs that I work on. I like to see how it functions and looks through the more popular browser, although more and more people are switching over to Firefox, Google's Chrome browser, etc.

Anyway, I don't solely use Internet Explorer, but that's the main reason I keep it. However, if they keep upgrading to junk like IE 9, I'll do away with it completely and never look back.

I'm hearing a lot of good things about Google's Chrome browser, and I may start using them more often or switch completely over. That particular browser suppose to run applications and websites with lightning speed. You can download it or read more about it, here: https://www.google.com/chrome/

Yvette Martinez - Sexy Model

Well folks, it is time to add a little scenery to the blog again. Covering random, mundane topics is totally fine of course, but sometimes it doesn't hurt to add a little flair into the mix - like a sexy Hispanic model named Yvette Martinez, for example.

This babe has been featured in Lowrider Magazine along with many others, music videos, etc. She is from Los Angeles, California. ...Going by Y. Martinez's profile page on a model site, she is very much into: fashion/glamour modelling, music video appearances, bikini/lingerie photo shoots, magazine print, advertising, event promotion (club, music, sports) and more... Yeah, I'm sure she has no problem making money, to say the least.

To read more about Yvette's interests and whatnot, visit: http://www.modelmayhem.com/1651470

I couldn't find any Wiki links about her, but I did go to Wikipedia to try and find a meaning in the female name 'Yvette', but still had no luck. I couldn't find any special meaning in the name 'Yvette' that would signify her sexy self, but oh well, it was worth a try.

Okay, that's enough chatter. It's time to drop down some lovely images of Y.M. so you can see why she is such a successful model, etc.

Water Filters & Galvanized Pipes

A while back, I got rewarded with a busted water line that was leading to my house. Outside of the inflated water bill from all the leaking water, the City/Water Company will not fix it for free if it's on your side of the water meter. Joy, joy, as it is just another bill being crammed up my bunghole as usual, except this time it is something called a "water leak." Dang, didn't that stuff (water) used to be free? I've never understood how little earth-dwelling humanoids can merchandise something called water while living on a planet that consists mostly of, uh, water! 

Anyway, upon looking for plumbers and other so-called "qualified individuals" to fix it, I ran across a lot of whines and complaints and talk about needing all this big equipment to dig up the earth. All I want is my water line fixed, and I do not care if it is a galvanized pipe or PVC or how much trouble it is to dig up the ground; just fix the damn thing! Well, the last codger that gave an "estimate of cost" did me in, and I was all about fixing it or at least digging up the dirt myself. By the way, I don't need a bulldozer or a backhoe to dig a stinking two-foot hole! 

It was obvious where the leak was, due to all the water spouting out from one area, and after I cut the water off from the source, all I needed was a shovel, perhaps a pick in the event it was rocky ground, something like a screwdriver to grate the pipe, and a little elbow grease (Oh, no! That's the thing they call "manual work!"). 

Anyway, to make a long story short, I saved at least 500 dollars or more, by fixing the water leak myself. But here's the thing, it was in fact a galvanized pipe. If your house is old and you have those types of pipes, you may encounter this very same thing, at any given time. 

My dad went to the water company to get the part required to fix the pipe, and was also told about how a lot of times the galvanized pipes (that they mainly used back in the day) will often rust from the inside out, as opposed to what many would think, which would be from the outside in. After digging a two-foot hole and discovering the leak, and after scraping and grating the pipe with a screwdriver to find the exact location of the hole, the outside of the galvanized pipe looked decent! ...But just think of how the inside might have looked! If you use city water, the PH level will usually help prevent rust and corrosion, but even more concern needs to be directed towards the people that live outside of the city and use well water, as the PH is often naturally lower - along with the additions of other contaminants that may promote corrosion and bad health. 

---Side note: We used a high-quality clamp to fix the water leak, but if you don't have one available or can't find one and are still interested in fixing your water leak without these so-called "professionals" that overcharge, you can most likely find a good 'pipe wrap' online. I would start by typing into the search engine of your choice: "Galvanized Pipe Wrap." 

At any rate, this is where the use of water filters comes into play... I used to promote these things years ago, before the whole "water filter pitcher" promos came into effect. After you realize what your water goes through just to get into your house, one may be thinking about some type of water filtration, to say the least! Enter below, for a link that provides an array of water filters, etc. Personally, I use the water pitcher method, as I don't like the bulky filters that hang over the sink, and so on... 

But before you go any further, you may want to read this: "Are there any potential health risks associated with corrosion by-products from water transported through galvanized drinking water pipes?" Read more, here: http://www.freedrinkingwater.com/water_health/health2/corrosion-byproducts2-galvanized-drinking-pipes-health-risks.htm

This isn't a promotion, but a fair warning; you might need to get your water filters today. Unless you have recently re-piped your home with anti-corrosive piping, it wouldn't hurt to add some filters. I like the pitcher filters because you can control what is filtered and what isn't, but that's just me. For a lot of uses in the home, it doesn't matter if the water isn't filtered, like flushing the toilet, washing clothes, etc.

Anyway, I'll provide an affiliate link below, if you're interested:

The depiction of an "Ancient Alien Theorist" - Ha-ha!

Or is it simply the depiction of "ha-ha?" LOL!

Legitimate Historians? I'm the ancient astronaut theorist via the ancient-ancient-ancient alien that stepped on a trilobite a few million years ago that totally whacked out society as we know it, along with the lovely specialists of ancient-ancient-ancient grey people and, if you piss me off, I will chant about the green reptilian aliens (while I fluff my hair into a replica of Einstein getting cranially electrocuted) as well...AND their purpose for co-existing with all of us other weirdos... [source = unknown; check the world wide web for reference].

Ha-ha! This post is just for entertainment; I stumbled upon the image above, as I was searching for alien pictures. I just thought it was funny (you gotta love the guy's enthusiasm and wild hair), even though I'm actually a fan of alien theories and I've even enjoyed watching a few shows from the Ancient Alien series. Anyway, back to the poppycock I was typing...

Aliens, God, Satan, UFOs, Angels, religions, facts, fables, fictional short stories, actuality, imagination, bad hair day, fried brain cells, marijuana, alcohol, drugs galore, Ancient Aliens' territory, Jesus Freaks, Muhammadan madmen gone wild, Buddha on a diet, the numeric 666, heaven's gates, you freakin' name it!!!
Personally, I just wish the ancient alien theorists would simply remove the anal probes from the cosmic mix of extraterrestrial perversion, as we could all sleep easier without cattle prods with demented intentions, branding our anus cavities during our sleep while crazed lunatics chant praise of such things on cable television; cheers!

Good luck and God Bless! Ha-ha!

Are social networks hurting the online dating business?

Side Note: This blog page now has a Part 2 added to the bottom of the original post. It comes from a deleted website of mine. When I was combining related pages together on other posts amid multiple blogs, I decided to add one here, as well. It is an outdated post about why Cyber Dating Sucks, but it is still humorous to read. Anyway, back to the subjects at hand...

Part 1: "Are social networks hurting the online dating business?" 

Before I go any further, I must say that the title used for this particular blog post is more or less just a string of words in the form of a question, used to make this subject sound more interesting than what it really is. In reality, "Online Dating" sucks anyway, so who cares, right? 

...But the question still remains: Are social networks (like FaceBook, MySpace, etc.) hurting the online dating business? In my humble opinion, I think they are, but I'd say that it's a good thing... 

Personally, I try to stay away from social networks and online dating sites; both types of "Cyber Entertainment" are full of fake people, to say the very least! No matter if it's an Internet dating site or a common online social network, anybody can create a profile and pretend to have loads of friends and wonderful assets along with their feigning multitude of magnificent personal traits that are to be envied by the masses. Ha-ha! What a joke! However, with all of these social networks forming amid the cyber-based community, I would say that the chances of connecting with potential mates, will be a little better on those sites as opposed to the typical match-making website found online. 

With that little amount of verbiage being typed, this subject is almost closed. I'm not even going to bother typing about what I think of all the social networks out there. Hey, if it floats your cyber boat, then continue to sail through the world wide web waters; just don't come through my internet boat dock, please, because it contains detectors for online asininity - among other things, of course. Ha! 

Anyway, the main reason for this post, is actually to provide a link to a page that I wrote several months ago on another website of mine, that humorously described online dating in a nutshell, and a big one at that (okay, it was quite an elaborate page, but well told nonetheless). The other reason for this stupid blog post, is to provide some funny images that depict Internet dating in full swing; enjoy... 

First of all, if you're interested, visit the web page I wrote a while back about this topic: "Looking for a date online? Cyber Dating sucks for many reasons..." [That link is no longer active, but it will now be Part 2 of this post.]

Funny & Realistic Images about Internet Dating:

Uh, yeah, speaking of Cyber Entertainment, maybe you should have just stuck with the simple forms that you get from web cams and/or pages like this:

Part 2: "Looking for a date online? Cyber Dating sucks for many reasons..."

Are you a single male or female looking for love & lust in all the wrong places?

Just like a lot of things:  What works for some, may not work well for others.  Well, when it comes to dating online, that phrase needs to be changed to:  What sucks for many, is actual good for very select few.  Internet dating has grown steadily over the last several years, but for the most part, only certain dating services has diversified enough to make it easier meeting a mate online.  I've sampled a few types of "match making" cyber services a few years ago, just to see what all the hoopla was about.  

Then, several years later, I returned to the cyber dating game just to see what all has changed.  I must say, I think it sucks more now than it did before.  Don't get me wrong, there's hope for the ones who are stuck in a poor work schedule, have trouble meeting people outside of work, and so on.  But you either need to know what type of dating site to look for, understand what and why it sucks for many, and most importantly, you need to know what you're truly looking for (lust, love, long-term relationship, short-term fling, etc.)

Okay, let's get the easy part of this "online dating" analysis out of the way...

Notice the title of this page...  It refers to finding a date online and/or cyber dating; yeah, you get the point.  At the same time, notice that the title doesn't include things such as "fornicate online" or "hook up with a single person tonight" or "find a prostitute today" or "get laid within hours" or, well, I think you understand now.  When speaking about what sucks for many, on these Internet dating sites, this doesn't include finding a male whore or a lewd woman online.  In fact, if you're seeking a lifestyle that more closely resembles the ancient city life of Sodom and Gomorrah, there are some excellent services for this online.  You may end up with some STDs or get gang raped during the process, but hey, you ordered it so don't complain.  I'm talking about adult-friend-finder-type sites that offer matches who are into couple swapping, copulating in groups, and random types of other fetishes that is pointless to name on here.

Don't get me wrong, these types of sites are great for what they provide, but if you're going on a site called "alternative lifestyles" or "fling" or whatever some of them are called, that obviously promotes finding a partner within no time at all, don't expect to find love and don't bother calling it "online dating."  Ha-ha!  Most of these types of sites, allow you to put nude photos in your profile, send raunchy e-mails back and forth, and have erotic chat services where you can swap information, phone numbers, IM names, etc.  This is so easy!  It is like a legal Internet brothel mixed with fake photos, unknown people, scams, and the occasional honest, sexually unchaste person that you may have a great time with.  ...Hurrah, hurray!  Fun-fun...  So, if you're looking for lust in all the wrong places, say hello to cyber fornicating sites, such as I mentioned prior.  I guess you could say they "suck," but that would depend on if you selected to have an oral fetish in your profile, now wouldn't it?  Ha!

Now that we got the obvious out of the way, let's get on with what this post is really about...

Cyber dating, yeah, that's the main topic here.  The friendly sites like Match.com, eHarmony, and others of the like.  I must say, before Yahoo! Personals went to Match.com, it was at least fairly decent.  The IM service is what made it good.  Many folks have a Yahoo! Messenger, so if anything, joining their personals could, at the very least, get you a bunch of IM people you could flirt with, get to know, and possibly hook up with at a later date.  But, Yahoo!, along with their search engine, merged with MSN a while back, so now that dating service has changed to the Match.com format.  Speaking of the merge, Yahoo! also uses the same search engine as MSN, except now it is called, at the time I'm writing this, "Bing."  It seems to be an excellent search engine, and I use it all the time.

Well crap, I'm rambling now.  I need to get back on subject.  Oh, yeah, cyber dating and the several reasons why it sucks for many......

Some of the biggest reasons some of these well-mannered, proper, sophisticated-looking dating sites like "Match" or "eHarmony" (too many others to list) sucks for many, is the people it attracts in general. It is amazing at how stupid some folks really are, to think they are going to find their "soul mate" online. Personally, with there being billions of people in a world that is full of raging hormones, to think that there is one individual sole mate or "soul mate" for you, and I mean the numeric 1 and one only, is slightly preposterous in my opinion.  I think that is what's wrong with a lot of people, especially females, as they often have this illusion of perpetual rainbows and sunshine for their future mate, that they can never see clearly or accept the fact that you have to take the good with the bad, and that things in a relationship will not always go just right; there is no such thing as "perfect," and people just have to work things out, make it work, get over fights, and on and on and on.  This page isn't about the philosophy of dating, so once again, I'm getting off subject here.

Okay, so other people's high expectations are an obvious big slash to online dating.  Next in line, is something I call "fantasy profile."  You know, when people get to lie and pretend and tell all of these nice, wonderful things about their self, only to exclude the fact that they are providing fantasy details about their self to hopefully find a fantastic mate, dream date, etc., but forgetting that the other person will quickly find out that they are full of baloney, upon meeting.  I can give several examples of "fantasy profiles," but I'll just type about a couple of them really quick and then move along into the next trait of cyber dating suckness.  People who state on their profile that they are adventurous, love the outdoors, exercise 3 times a week, only to find out that they are fat, lazy, jobless, and are a big couch potato. People who type into their profile how they are looking for a nice guy who is honest and is willing to treat them like a lady with respect, only to find out that they are a queen bitch, and all of their other boyfriends were drug addicts, bad boys, abusers, and hell on wheels.  People who claim on their dating profile that they are highly educated, went to college, and make $75,000+ a year, only to find out that they barely graduated high school, can't even spell worth a crap, and work for minimum wage at a grocery story.  Stuff like that, is what I mean when I say, "fantasy profile."

Okay, so deceit is another factor that sucks for cyber dating.  Next up, is the illusion of travel.  

Yep, you're browsing through available singles, send an e-mail, swap back and forth, actually connect with the person behind the false profile with high expectations, only to forget:  "How far did you say you live from me again???"  Dang, I went and did a search on the dating site with the 50-mile radius thingy on.  Hmm, let's see...  I travel 50 miles to meet you, we most likely won't like each other anyway, but even if we do, I have to travel 50 more miles back, just to get home.  100-mile round trip just for a ???  Gas prices are outrageous right now!  See ya...    

Yep, this aspect of finding a single near you, is only part of the problem.  Many folks don't even put their correct location on there while trying to hide from locals (perhaps they are the ones who are cheating on their husband/wives or boyfriend/girlfriend), but the ones who do put the correct info, still often come up in your eager searches because you're simply not thinking about it.  Yeah, yeah...  The chat was nice, enjoyed e-mailing you, everything seems like it would work, but why in the hell am I travelling that far for a freaking date!?  Wait a minute, maybe I need to just get out more.  Why am I always on this damn computer?  This cyber dating thing sucks!  I wasted my money; I'm deleting my account.  Blah, blah, blah...  Ha-ha!  The point here is, unless you live in a big, populated city or are willing to travel great distances, most small cities won't have enough singles online, in your area, to amount to anything.  [Which might be why Part 1 of this page entitled "Are social networks hurting the online dating business?" makes more sense now.] Keep that it mind, or you may find yourself saying "this online dating thing sucks!"

Okay, so travel distance is an obvious problem for cyber dating.  Next up, is the good ol' outdated photos routine.  

Yeah, for example, you see some photo of what appears to be this youthful babe; talk to her a lot and even get up enough "balls" to go meet the mystery babe with the hot picture in her dating profile, only to find out that the picture was at least 20 years old!  Who are you?  Are you the grandma?  Where's my babe at from the dating site?   She says, with a rough voice, "wellllll, sheeeees riiiiight heeeeere, swivel hips."  Yikes!  You instantly flee from the has-been beauty queen that you found at the online dating site, who has now morphed into a wrinkled grandma with hormonal issues, get in your car and get the hell out of there, and fast!

Okay, so outdated photos can be detrimental to your cyber dating experience.  Next up, is all the "I'll tell you later" junk on their profile.  What is up with that?  It says, do you have kids? And some of these people will have on their personal information section, "I'll tell ya later."  Relationship status?  I'll tell ya later.  Religion?  I'll tell ya later?  Occupation?  I'll tell ya later.  Gender?  I'll tell ya later.  Ha-ha!  Okay, I was joking about the gender part, but really, if you don't want to tell anybody anything, then why are you even on here?  By the way, is that photo even a picture of you?  Oh, I get it, you'll tell me later???

Well, I have gone over some of the basic shortcomings for cyber dating and/or some of the reasons why it sucks for many people, but it doesn't end here.  It isn't just the people and their silly profiles that makes online dating suck for many, it is also the layout and the way the site monetizes for profit.  Sure, you can join most of these sites for free, but you can't do anything much, unless you pay - which is fine. BUT you have all of these "singles" out there with photos who don't pay, and never will pay, but the search results are decorated with these folks like bait.  Hey, join now so you can talk to them!  Wrong! A good percentage of the people on these cyber dating sites need to be deleted and removed so you won't waste time trying to contact 'em or whatever.  However, this could easily be remedied by lowering the membership fees so more people could interact, enable or make it easier to send messages through a messenger service, offer live chat rooms like some of the more, uh, hum, adult dating sites do, and let's get on with this thing!  But no-no-no, let's keep the membership rates high so only a small percentage join, but keep all the dummy accounts live or the ones who will never join, and let's make it even more difficult to communicate so you will have to upgrade to a platinum account or higher paying service, only to find out that you are one of the few fools in your area who wasted the money for this silly dating process to begin with.  Ha-ha!

---Side Note:  I'm having way too much fun writing about the sorry aspects of online dating.  I really have limited experience with it, but what little I've encountered and what little I've had others tell me about their experiences, led me to some of those reasons.  So don't think I'm some retarded, desperate chap who had horrible online dating experiences.  I just enjoy pointing out what sucks about it.  Ha-ha!

Personally, I've always found my mates offline.  Unfortunately, I usually meet them wherever my current place of work is, which is great when things are going well, but bad when things are not.  I've also been the moron who gets stuck in long-term relationships.  That may sound good, but when you finally break up, it ends up feeling like a big waste of time; plus, the longer the relationship, the harder it is to totally get over.  I often think, it would be better to go for the "quick sample" route, build my "fornication portfolio," then analyze the data, and make a final selection as to what I end up settling with.  Now is that a science or what?  Ha!

Bottom line:  There will always be crap in the way when looking for love, lust or that companion who is just right for you.  There is plenty of junk to sort through, and things you'll have to filter out - to find the gem you're seeking; that's just part of life.  Regardless of the method that you choose to find a date or mate, whether it is for long-term or short, cyber dating or offline, it is all a gamble and a risk you may or may not have to take.   At any rate, best of luck to ya...  You'll need it! ;)

Were the Nazca Lines created by Ancient Astronauts / Aliens?

This will now be a 2-Part post since I've recently deleted an old website of mine and decided to combine the related pages before I start adding all of the stand-alone articles amid multiple blogs and whatnot. This is perhaps the wrong blog for this type of subject, as it is not very mundane, but I suppose it doesn't really matter. But back to the subject at hand...

Part 1: "Were the Nazca Lines created by Ancient Astronauts / Aliens?"

This is another one of those great mysteries that have many of the ancient astronaut theorists all riled up with excitement and curiosity.  Of course, many people will come up with any mundane excuse they can imagine, just to try and deny the possibility of extraterrestrial life ever visiting Earth in the past.  However, more and more evidence seems to point more in favor towards the belief that the first Earthmen may have actually been ancient astronauts travelling from another world.  The impact they had on mankind may be more than what some give credit for.  In my opinion, along with many others, the proof is not only in a lot of ancient artifacts and mysterious structures built with advanced technologies, but also in ancient texts.  Hell, even the Bible has references to UFOs and space travelers, sort of like the beginning of the Book of Ezekiel, for example.

Anyway, this page is going to provide a couple resources and a few images of the Nazca Lines found in Peru, which is associated with the Inca civilization.  Related links:  Lost City of the Incas, and Incas - Aliens & Ancient Astronauts.

The only active link I currently have about the Incas is some silly post about Sky Gods, but I hope to repost more articles from that deleted website of mine, in due time. I will try to combine a lot of the pages about Ancient Aliens / Astronauts to a blog page called Alien Visitors, so that particular page will act as a mini menu for those topics, later on.]

An excerpt from Wikipedia:

"The Nazca Lines are a series of ancient geoglyphs located in the Nazca Desert in southern Peru. They were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994. The high, arid plateau stretches more than 80 kilometers (50 mi) between the towns of Nazca and Palpa on the Pampas de Jumana about 400 km south of Lima. Although some local geoglyphs resemble Paracas motifs, scholars believe the Nazca Lines were created by the Nazca culture between 400 and 650 AD. The hundreds of individual figures range in complexity from simple lines to stylized hummingbirds, spiders, monkeys, fish, sharks, orcas, llamas, and lizards. The lines are shallow designs made in the ground by removing the ubiquitous reddish pebbles and uncovering the whitish ground beneath. Hundreds are simple lines or geometric shapes; more than seventy are zoomorphic designs of animals such as birds, fish, llamas, jaguar, monkey, or human figures. Other designs include phytomorphic shapes such as trees and flowers. The largest figures are over 200 meters (660 ft) across. Scholars differ in interpreting the purpose of the designs, but in general they ascribe religious significance to them." Read more, here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazca_Lines

This subject gets even more interesting when you start reading about all the different theories that try to explain the reasons for the formation of these Nazca Lines and who all may have possibly been involved in these creations, and why.

For example:  Jim Woodmann believes that the Nazca Lines could not have been made without some form of manned flight to see the figures properly. [I'd say that is a safe conjecture.] Based on his study of available technology, he suggests that a hot air balloon was the only possible means of flight during that time.  Many people reject that notion, simply due to the lack of proof that such balloons existed during that time.  It seems more like he wanted to dismiss the belief that any aliens could have been involved but still couldn't deny the fact that it was done from the air.

Swiss author Erich von Däniken suggests the Nazca lines and other complex constructions represent higher technological knowledge from extraterrestrial beings. Von Däniken maintains that the Nazca lines in Peru are runways of an ancient airfield that was used by extraterrestrials mistaken by the natives to be their gods.  Erich von Daniken along with many other ancient astronaut theorists seem to be on a plausible path of rationale, in my opinion.

There are too many theories to list, but if you search the web about it, you'll find some ridiculous ideas and beliefs, as well as some very good possible explanations for this mystery.  There are some people that believe a race of giants made the Nazca Lines, for example.  Who knows...?

Check out some sample images of the Nazca Lines, below:

Well, to finish up with the resource links, I'll post another link to an informative page about this subject, as an image credit for the two Maps of the Nazca Lines, located below:

These maps were provided by the informative website "Crystalinks."  The Lines were allegedly made by removing the iron-oxide coated pebbles which cover the surface of the desert. When the gravel is removed, they contrast with the light color underneath. In this way the lines were drawn as furrows of a lighter color. Off the Pampa, south of the Nazca Lines, archaeologists have now uncovered the lost city of the line-builders, Cahuachi. It was built nearly 2,000 years ago and mysteriously abandoned 500 years later. The Nazca Lines were first spotted when commercial airlines began flying across the Peruvian desert in the 1920's. Passengers reported seeing 'primitive landing strips' on the ground below. Today, people sometimes fly in hot air balloons to view the splendors of the Nazca Lines, their energies awakening something within their souls.

In closure, one thing seems to be for sure: If you can't really notice or make much sense out of the Nazca Lines unless you are looking down while being high in the air, then one can only wonder if they were built from the air by way of, uh, ancient astronauts and/or aliens using spaceships, etc.

Part 2: "Just another ancient mystery...  The Nazca Lines"

I'm sure many of you are tired of hearing about the "ancient alien theorists" and/or the ancient astronaut theory, but still, what is it with these "Nazca Lines?"
The History Channel (among others) has promoted the notion of Earth being visited by extraterrestrials enough; it's nothing new to me (unlike most people) as it is old news for my highly intuitive, remarkably intelligent self, but still... What rock have you been living under lately? Since when did looking up into the skies and to envision other worlds and intelligent beings out there amid the chaos of creation, get to be so boogie-boogey creative and cosmically untold? Oh, I get it... It is now acceptable to believe in life outside of planet Earth via the media, so now it is okay to talk about it in public. Whatever...

The Nazca Lines is just another ancient mystery that many folks can blame on worldly mundane causes or, for some of us, perhaps otherworldly aliens and whatnot. Whatever the case is, just make sure you throw the word "ancient" in there when you're explaining such things, you know, for the authentic effect; ha-ha! Is it, oh, could it be, let's see... Ancient Aliens from another world or planet?

At any less-than-crazy rate, I'm posting a quick YouTube video below, that speaks about the Nazca Lines in Peru:

Side Note: I get so sick and tired of seeing all those stupid comments on YouTube! I'm leaning more and more towards the notion that YouTube should just remove the comment field altogether. More times than not, reading the comments on some of these videos (not necessarily this one; just saying...) only makes you realize how the majority of the people on planet Earth (at least the ones online) are uneducated idiots that are often spoiled, senseless prima donnas that are rebellious and unruly without a cause, in which many of them should have their Internet privileges took away, just for being a complete imbecilic being amid the cyber-based society - but then again, if it wasn't for the flaming fools of stupidity with Internet access, the online marketing campaigns and advertisements couldn't thrive as well as they do now. So, with my apologies, I take those last couple of insulting comments back, as the confused heathens that I just spoke about, are evidently allowed online just to make many of us web-savvy people some damn money; Ha-ha!

To be more germane towards the topic at hand, here is a relevant link for you:
"Were the Nazca Lines created by ancient astronauts / aliens?" [Link is no longer active, but it is now Part 1 of this post.]

Oh, speaking of aliens and the "Extraterrestrial Hypothesis" per Wikipedia, the "Official White House Position" on this matter states this vague response of utter legislative jargon: "In November 2011, the White House released an official response to two petitions asking the U.S. government to acknowledge formally that aliens have visited Earth and to disclose any intentional withholding of government interactions with extraterrestrial beings. According to the response, "The U.S. government has no evidence that any life exists outside our planet, or that an extraterrestrial presence has contacted or engaged any member of the human race." Also, according to the response, there is "no credible information to suggest that any evidence is being hidden from the public's eye." The response further noted that efforts, like SETI, the Kepler space telescope and the NASA Mars rover, continue looking for signs of life. The response noted "odds are pretty high" that there may be life on other planets but "the odds of us making contact with any of them - especially any intelligent ones - are extremely small, given the distances involved." ...My response to that cute little exchange of words = "ha-ha-ha!"

I finally tried Ranch Dressing with Hot Wings...

Well, I must say, I'm definitely a connoisseur of chicken wings and a meat-eating aficionado, but I've never tried Ranch Dressing with hot wings before, until the other day. Year after year, I keep wondering why people relate this white creamy dressing with those blissful, tasty, hot & spicy wings, and I never give it a try just because it doesn't sound right... I've cooked 'em several different ways, tried a many frozen chicken products, and have damn-near taste-tested every hot wing in the fast-food and restaurant businesses within my local coordinates of a reasonable distance, but I've always ignored the whole Ranch Dressing dip thingy because when I'm checking out how good the wings are, I don't want anything else that can get in between me, my taste buds, and the hot wings I'm eating. However, yesterday, upon my seek to find another variation of hot wings that I haven't tried before, I went to a Pit BBQ place that mainly specializes in pork (Whitt's Barbecue). I ordered up 20 Hot Wings at the Pork BBQ restaurant for 13 dollars (a little high, but I've paid more at other places and plus, one must remember that they mainly sell pork, not chicken). 

Anyway, I paid for the food, got my lovely, loaded Styrofoam container filled with hot wings, and went on my merry way. When I got home, I opened the environmentally unfriendly (Styrofoam) container full of wings and noticed that they put two big packets of Ranch Dressing in there. I was like, "what in the hell is it with Ranch Dressing?" I threw those stupid-looking packets away, and then started thinking... I opened the fridge and seen a bottle of Ranch Dressing in there that my ex-girlfriend bought when she lived with me. It was still in date, so I changed my mind, and decided to try it. 

I sampled 3 of the 20 wings with this supposed hot-wing-related dressing, and figured that even if it sucked, I would still have 17 hot wings to eat for supper, after I finished drinking my beer for the day, of course. Well, as it turned out, the Ranch Dressing was totally excellent and went very well with hot wings! In fact, it adds a good deal of flavor and almost balances out the hotness, which I quickly remedied with additional hot sauce. To make it short, if you ever run into some chicken wings that are a bit too hot (not a common problem with me) or if you'd just like to add more flavor, you should try dipping your hot wings into some Ranch Dressing and give it a try. 

This post might seem a little silly or uninformative or non-entertaining, but seriously, I think the moral of the story here is: Sometimes you just need to take a chance or try something different, as you never really know for sure until you experience it. And we're talking about food here, but that same philosophy can also apply to a lot of things in life. 

An additional tidbit: By using this particular type of dressing/dip, you can easily eat chicken wings that are hotter than you'd normally like them to be. This is good, if you can stomach it, because there are a lot of health benefits when it comes to spicy foods and hot peppers. In fact, I once wrote a blog post entitled "Hot Pepper Craze - Health Benefits & Info [link is no longer active]," so give it a quick read, if interested. I don't know about you, but the image below makes me hungry... Cheers! ---End of Post "I finally tried Ranch Dressing with Hot Wings..."

Looking for something to kick & punch?

Well folks, I hope y'all had a great Thanksgiving and dodged the Black Friday madness this year. I never understood why people would rush out and do their Christmas shopping right after Thanksgiving amid crazy hordes of bargain shoppers, just to save a few bucks. To me, it just isn't worth it. People will kick, punch, pull, grope, bite, scream, and much more, just to get what they want. This year, Black Friday sales started even earlier at a lot of places, as one could have almost called it Black Thursday because of such hastened sales of seasonal frugality.

If one was looking for a pathetic form of entertainment, you could do some 'video searches' online for "Black Friday Fights" and other similar terms, to find the insane videos you may be yearning for. Below, I'll post a quick video that displays the crowds and/or throngs that commonly appear at these madhouses. I'm sure there were also some kicking, punching, and who knows what, going on in that store somewhere. Ha-ha!

Anyway, that was just a sample clip showing just how insanely stupid these sales have gotten. You should work in one of those retail spots that host post-Thanksgiving chaos like that; fun, fun! Hell, I know people that go to those places during the blitz sale, just for the entertainment and don't really buy very much. ...Talk about people who perhaps may need to get out more or, better yet, get a freakin' life!

Anyway, after seeing and hearing about this year's Christmas shopping hurricane of asininity, it reminded me of how there may be a lot of people out there who may be looking for something non-human (since ya can get in trouble if it's human these days) to kick & punch. So, I reflected back to earlier this year when I wrote about such things on a health blog of mine. I'll provide a couple sample images and links below, in case you're interested...

Visit: "Picking out the right Heavy bag / Speed bag Stand"

Visit: "The 'Body Opponent' Heavy Bag"

I think that if a person has the room to store these heavy bags, body stands, etc., along with the money to afford these things, and if you're either into physical fitness, boxing, karate or simply find yourself frustrated a lot and constantly looking for something to beat on, this may be the perfect gift for you this year. To hell with Black Friday deals and seasonal bargains, just go buy yourself one of those 'Kick & Punch' Stands/Bags, and you can shop calmer this year, after releasing the fury upon those lovely non-human targets.

Personally, I've had a Heavy bag / Speed bag stand combo, and it was decent for basic punching, but unless you get one big enough and have it weighted down, the stand will often move around a lot. I didn't really use it much for kicks, though. Also, make sure you have strong enough floors and ceilings, etc. What I'm more interested in, is that damn Body Opponent Heavy Bag. I may buy one of those in the future; it is compact and resembles a human, which makes it even more fun to kick & punch, if ya know what I mean.
Anyway, happy holidays... Ha-ha!

Video: 10 Crazy Theories about our Existence...

Actually, the video was entitled "10 Mad Scientific Theories," but I thought that was a little vague, considering the subject matter. When it comes to theories about our existence, the universe, etc., usually one theory from the next seems about equally crazy to me, because the entire cosmos of creation is chaos, if ya think about it. It's a galactic madhouse out there, if you will... Ha-ha!

Anyway, this is a short post with the sole intention of sharing a little not-so-mundane 2:26 minute video that I stumbled upon this morning. They should have slowed it down a bit and been more elaborate from one theory to the next, but whatever, I guess they were in a hurry. I'm going to list the 10 crazy and/or "mad scientific" theories about our existence, that was mentioned on that short flick; feel free to look them up individually, on the web, if desired...

The 10 Theories were: 1) The Doughnut Shaped Universe, 2) Anti-Matter Galaxies, 3) Panspermia Theory, 4) The Ekpyrotic Model, 5) Many Worlds Theory, 6) The Simulation Hypothesis, 7) The Zoo Hypothesis, 8) The Quantum Zeno Effect & The End of the Universe, 9) Black Holes are Gateways to other Universes, 10) The Holographic Principle

Okay, check out the video below:

[Video is no longer available]

Out of those 10 theories, I think the "Panspermia Theory" and "Black Holes are Gateways to other Universes," are the two most plausible. Well, if they meant 'wormholes' instead of black holes, that is... The Holographic Principle has been worn out, in my opinion, by a bunch of failed mystics (also known as lunatics) - but anything is possible when it comes to the reasons for our existence, I suppose. However, I have thought of some of the others myself due to mere imagination, along with other crazy theories that wasn't listed in the video. The possibilities are endless; what else is there to say?
