Sorry but ... first stop taking the drugs.

Karl, thou art devilish.

Hollogram Clinton?

Usually at DBs people own their own posts and can edit or even delete them as they wish. This is a long established tradition.

I like to wait till 10 games played until making any serious predictions - but City do look strong - both United and Chelsea a bit erratic as yet.

Spurs 1 sunderland 0 - but could have won by a few more goals - up to third place

WOW excellent!

I can't find my copy of this book https://www.amazon.co.uk/Stalingrad-Pocket-Penguin-70s-Book-ebook/dp/B002RI9DUG/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1474198730&sr=1-1&keywords=beevor+stalingrad which may have the answer. But I suspect like all the mistakes made by the Nazis on the eastern front it was a result of Hitler's tendency to micro manage events from Berlin - rather than rely on local intelligence.

Luke don't let it get to you.

Nice reply - especially like the footnotes which are impressive. When you say you have 'sensations up the back' are you referring to a particular kind of sexual activity?
-
No.

I watched a dolphin display at a zoo in Lisbon the other day. And while I really don't like to see animals in captivity - it was oddly moving to see the interaction of the dolphins and the human swimmers. Obviously they trained them to do various tricks and so on and fed them copious fish - but I was struck by the reciprocal relation of mammal with mammal. In fact I had a kind of daydream in which the dolphins were humans who a long time ago had decided to stay in the water - while we emerged onto land. I buy the evolutionary theory partly because it is kind of unformed and open ended. Clearly there are mechanisms at work which we do not consciously engage with but have special outcomes. Like eating lots of fish with fatty acids and so on and ending up with big brains. But of course I also know, from knowing myself, that we have will, intent and purpose. So we are not entirely passive products of biological mechanisms. In fact I see two rotations - one in a worldly plane which is evolution in the scientific sense and another perpendicular to that which is our spiritual life. That these two interweave in subtle ways, some conscious and some unconscious. Going back to the zoo, it is interesting to speculate that in looking at the dolphins, constrained to act out what is needed in an environment to entertain and please a human audience, then are we looking at a reflection of ourselves? Who is acting for who? And is there some other kind of audience?

Oh what! Its perfectly reasonable to want to know.

Exactly it has become a widespread practice on DBs - I find it hard to find anyone who hasn't at least been approached about it - but uniquely there is no thread explaining what it is. Why is this?
-
the idea is for you to specifically answer questions about your practice - how it works and so on.
-
I think this is an excellent idea. Can we have a Light Group thread where we can ask questions?
-
It might be distracting if they are eating out together.

Yeah but it says 2 13/16 inch .... i.e. nearly three inches - what kind of bottle is that for? In other words a useless and misleading graphic.
-
Here's another https://www.brooklynmuseum.org/opencollection/objects/3465 which is 7.1 cm by 1.9 cm - a bit smaller but still nearly 3 inches long by about 3/4 diameter.
-
It says its 2.2 - 2.5 cm diameter - which is about an inch. Comparing that with the length makes almost 4 inches by a rough comparison. That's about right for holding in the hand like the statues. Not saying that this is right - just my best guess. If they were some kind of metal rod - then there would have been plenty of them and someone would have found one. Most likely to be copper, bronze or even gold - so would not rust away. So .... where are they?

What a disaster this election is turning out to be. Hillary has allergies, Parkinson's disease, pneaumonia, heart arrhythmia, seizures, a body double, and is actually dead ... but Trump doesn't have any of these and isn't dead.

... and why exactly would they want us to do that?
