  1. Ravens and a Theory of Mind

    It has long been known that Aboriginals used 'fire stick farming' . But the use of 'fire twig' hunting by birds of prey is a new one ! Birds of prey are starting fires DELIBERATELY: Kites and falcons are 'intentionally dropping smouldering twigs' to smoke out mice and insects in AustraliaResearchers have compiled a study of reports of wild birds spreading fires They believe the birds carry burning twigs to unburnt parts of the bush Birds then drop them in a bid to smoke out prey such as insects and mice Researchers said birds could be 'third force' capable of starting bush fires Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3439042/Birds-prey-starting-fires-DELIBERATELY-Brown-falcon-dropped-smouldering-twigs-Australian-bush-smoke-mice-insects-say-researchers.html#ixzz3zhozNBlx

  11. And now for something...

    Jodan maigeri ? Back heel should be on the ground - bad form. We could excuse him if he is just about to become air born from the lead kick in the double kick in Chinto kata, that could also explain the semi-crouched position and also explain the lead foot position - not good for kicking - but in chinot the lead first kick is aimed at the hat brim .... not a bowler hat , one of these This knocks the hat up and back and the strap lifts the chin exposing the throat for the following 2nd part of the double kick (still airborne) with the big toe into base of the throat . But why one might be expected to meet a samurai coming the other way on that crossing .....

  17. Is the earth round/spherical?

    But I was not talking about comments and replies to comments was I ? ralis, on 05 Feb 2016 - 12:23, said: @MooNiNite If the earth is flat, then what happens to ocean water at the edge? Does it fall into space? Does the water fall over the edge and pulled back to the other side of the pancake via capillary action? They are questions not comments . And your attempts to avoid them are very obvious

    Not only has Australia got a finger in that pie ( apparently we have great polymer note printing tech ) , there have been a few 'icky' things involved with it .... mostly bribes ... and pointing the finger at "a certain SE Asian " countries head ( sorry, cant name him, they made a law here against naming him, apparently, if I name him, that would threaten or national security and I could be charged with threatening our 'security' ..... ( read ; threatening their 'web of lies' ) " The Australian Federal Police is probing Securency's payment of multimillion-dollar commissions to shady foreign middlemen who helped win currency printing deals in Africa, Asia and Latin America. ... A spokesman for the Government leader in the Senate, Chris Evans, defended the Government's refusal to answer questions. http://www.smh.com.au/national/investigations/heads-roll-at-rba-company-20090914-fnva.html " ... biggest corporate bribery scandal in Australian history. " http://www.smh.com.au/business/who-knew-what-when-in-bank-bribe-scandal-20110810-1imtu.html Australian court's gagging order condemned as 'abuse of legal process' Lawyers and media condemn ban on reporting in full on bribery investigation involving banknote company Securency A sweeping gagging order issued by an Australian court to block reporting of bribery allegations involving several international political leaders has been attacked by journalists and lawyers as "unacceptable" and "an abuse of legal process". The extraordinary prohibition emerged from a criminal case in the Australian courts and relates to part of an ongoing investigation by prosecutors across three continents into allegations of multimillion-pound bribes paid in the banknote-printing industry. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jul/30/australian-court-gagging-order-abuse-legal-process A secret memo sent to the "Deputy Governor RBA" in 2007 detailing bribery and corruption within a Reserve Bank subsidiary was withheld from the police, Federal Parliament and the government. The revelation of the five-page "private and confidential" memo ties RBA governor Glenn Stevens and his recently retired deputy, Ric Battellino, to one of the worst corporate corruption cover-ups in Australian history. The 2007 memo shows that almost two years before a bribery exposed by The Age forced the RBA to call in police, Battellino was given a detailed and explosive memo cataloging bribery and corruption inside Note Printing Australia, a wholly owned and supervised subsidiary of the bank.[4] NPA was mentioned in a leaked suppression order of the Victorian Supreme Count in Melbourne. The order, which forbids publication of corruption allegations against named government officials of Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam, includes a specific exemption allowing the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions to pass banned information on to NPA.[5] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Note_Printing_Australia

    In this case, I will retract that ... especially when it costs more to photocopy a note than the note is worth. I dont know how one gets out of that situation. I guess, even when printing your own money is useless, the only thing left to do is grow your own food .... if you can.
  23. cat power !

    Stop being so homocentric about reason .... humans do not have a monopoly on reason. Actually, many of them cant seem to find reason, know the reason for their actions or be reasonable . The cats want you to think that way .... it preserves their position on top of the pile ( shag pile ) .
