Full moon on mine, tho.

*length=5:06 No full moon on my birthday

I was wondering why all the kids look so, let's say "un-hindu," in this video--thanks Pennypacker.

I was myself in Kathmandu last month during this festival, called Holi, which occurred during the day before full moon in March (linked also to the solstice). Kids (young and old) were everywhere in the streets throwing colors and shouting "Happy Holi!" Sometimes they throw water instead. Either way, not a day for going out in your finest outfit. This year there was big news about a problem with some of the colored powder sold in New Delhi and many people (around 100 I think) were brought to hospital there with an allergic reaction.

Guess what?
This is a Hindu festival, but the site for this particular event is in that little place called Spanish Fork, Utah. Over 10,000 people attend this Hindu festival every year, and probably 95% of them are Mormons.

What's lies?
Full moon and thoughts collide
We look for answers in those catatonic, dying blod-shot eyes
We ask if vermin are the ones that already learned
Those aren't tears,
They're just bad bad blood

Just bad bad blood!

What lies?
No big surprise.
We get our clues from the ones who thought up they will conquer us
Are we too fucked to say the end is here too much?
We're in denial with bad blood

[Chorus:]

[wailing sample:]
Do you remember the strain?
Do you remember the pain?
Do you remember who caused all the blame?

Bad Blood!

[wailing sample:]
Do you remember me?
Do you remember us?
Do you surrender your dreams or your trust?

Bad Blood!

What lies?
He's finally come alive
Out of these mediocre plentiful things all the time
A steady stream of madness
Conscious to a flood
The clock is ticking for Bad Blood

[Chorus.]
[fade out...]

This reminds me of the Iron Chef (japanese) episode where the challenger was a "master of salt" or something where he had like a half dozen types of salt. One of them was only collected during the full moon (?!) on some island off the coast of Japan... ummm yeah.

He still lost.

Normally Alton Brown is a pretty cool guy but damn, it's salt man.

I really have no problems with NetRunner....he seems like a man concerned with the future of all people on the planet....I simply wish the bulk of his offerings here on the VS were not so lop-sided and spammish. NR, you will NEVER be able to have an opinion based on what you are told form the major media-In order to draw valid and correct conclusions one must have complete and un-tainted information....facts distorted can't provide this....watch enough news and you'll turn when ever the full moon rises.

Andromeda is fun to observe in binoculars, small or large telescopes. Easy target. It is one of the few naked-eye galaxies. On a good crisp dark night you can see Andromeda just by looking up in the right place. This galaxy is so close, so big, that it appears 3 times wider than a full moon does. To the naked eye, its more like a distended smudge.

I do what I can. I can only be funny until full moon when I turn into a grizzly axe murderer again, but shhh.. don't tell anyone.

sam harris is opposed to religious dogma..check.
thats a fight i have been waging for 20 yrs.
then he goes on to say that atheism is not a belief system,yet in the end of the discussion talks about changing people in the intelligencia's belief system that is religiously based,into something that resembles his own.
thats called proselytizing and not a little hypocritical.
his argument is with dogma and doctrine,and i do not have a problem with that at all.
he just uses contradictory logic too much for my tastes.

Atheism is not a belief-system, no, but that doesnt mean Sam Harris (or any other atheists) "don't believe in anything" That was part of the point. You can still believe, for instance that reason, science and evidence-based reasoning should always come before faith-based "reasoning", and that people who subscribe to iron age mythology are probably making a big mistake. In a sense that is perhaps proselytizing, yes, but not necessarily in a bad way. Imagine, for instance you were to come to a primitive island where they threw virgins into the volcano every full moon, would attempts to persuade people to stop this horrible practice be "dogmatic" or "proselytizing"?

We atheists are also vocal opponents of childhood indoctrination and threats of death on conversion, brainwashing and so on, but that doesnt mean you are never allowed to try to change someones mind with some effort. To call this hypocritical is in my opinion like saying you should despise all forms of work because you think slavery is wrong.

experiment design needed in this thread!

but... i can tell a fellow aries from about 3 minutes of conversation. you have no idea how many times i have said "aries, right? when's your birthday?" and they are like "april". this normally happens after a heated aries-style argument, and never happens with virgo or one of those pussy signs.
shit i should claim my 1000000 dollars now. what's the address?


And you conveniently forget all those times when it didn't work out that way.

That's what happens, that's the human mind for you.

The number of nurses who will tell you that the emergency room goes crazy because of the full moon is huge.

The studies? They show there is NO correlation at all. It's all people's minds and what they expect to happen vs what does happen. They remember more what they believed to be the outcome and tend to forget anything that doesn't bolster their position.

It's all absolute bunk
