I think you MAY be thinking of the mayfly, Retro. Me so punny.

At first glance I was inclined to agree with xxovercastxx, considering the positioning of the wings (something to consider though, they do not always have the appearance of being near-perfectly parallel to the body, sometimes sticking out at acute angles away from the point of attachment/thorax, which sorta looks like the one in the vid and may be easy to confuse with the dragon fly's wing arrangement when viewed from certain angles), BUT there are a couple of very un-dragonfly-like features here as well.

Most species of dragon flies have their compound eyes touching/fused at the top of the head, looking like one cohesive structure, while mayflies' eyes are placed more on the sides of the head and protrude outwards more, with a noticeable gap of forehead space in between them. Also, the base of the bottom pair of wings seems too skinny to be a dragon fly, where usually the bottom wings remain much broader for much longer, compared to the top pair as you get closer to thorax before finally tapering down to the connection point, though there may be exceptions in morphology from species to species.

I'm no entomologist though, just someone who enjoys watching these buggers go about their business (they're surprisingly tolerant of people and seem quite intelligent for insects, I'd say jumping spiders, Phidippus Audax specifically, are the only creepy crawlies around here that appear to be any smarter, more charming, gregarious than dragon/damsel flies).

I'm too torn either way to definitively call it. I did enjoy speculating about it quite needlessly though. Yay insomnia and Videosift!!

Congratulations on 5 years, and thank you for giving me something to do, over the last couple years I've been here, when:

- I am at work
- I am at school or in class
- I am visiting the mother
- I am having a nice bout of insomnia
- I am stuck in traffic or on the bus
- I am waiting for a date that doesn't show up
- I am waiting for a taxi on the street corner drunk as a skunk

Good times all around.

There is nothing that a little marijuana doesn't make better. Pain, insomnia, eating disorders, eyes, depression, hyperactivity, even sexual problems.

I guess if you are a paranoid schizophrenic it may be bad.

Has Nolan made a bad movie yet?


Nope.

Following
Memento
Insomnia
Batman Begins
The Prestige
The Dark Knight

As far as I'm concerned these are all 3 1/2 star movies or above (out of four). Nolan is the real deal.

You make a good point Kreegath, but I don't think he was talking about "need" so much as "recommended". Why is a certain amount of water recommended? There seems to be no literature to back it up. For a healthy person, your thirst is a perfectly valid indicator of how much you need.

On the other hand, mild dehydration can lead to minor problems like fatigue, irritability, and insomnia. For some people, they don't notice their thirst until they are already experiencing these symptoms, and they never thought to relate it to dehydration. So it's a good idea to simply plan certain times throughout the day to drink a glass or two.

But beyond what he said about active people, conventional wisdom among fitness professionals is that you should drink water frequently when you are trying to improve your fitness level. They claim (and I have no idea if this is backed up by any studies) that by the time you get thirsty, your body has already shut down the "recovery" mode that is needed for athletic improvement. So it's important for people losing weight or building muscle to stay ahead of your thirst.

So even though it isn't proven scientifically, there is no reason you shouldn't be drinking plenty of water. You might even see real improvements from paying attention to you hydration level. And that is going to be a different amount for every person.

enoch, you can't teach history without a bunch of dates and names. If you want to talk about teaching problem solving, take a subject where there are actual problems to solve. Like mathematics or physics...
Knowing history is remembering who did what, when and where, and what was the impact on future events. Usually the point of history classes is to teach the bigger picture, but you can't exactly say "and then x and then y and then z..." without any timeframes etc.
And you yourself said that many of the teachers were poorly educated. I guess it's good to not let them teach their own bullshit but to follow the curriculum designed by smarter and better educated people. Also looking at your writing I suspect you're not very highly educated either.




wow.
your ignorance is only surpassed by your arrogance.
you go right ahead scooter and let people tell you what and how to think.
great job in missing my point then turning around and making it for me.
thanks buddy!

one small note on your little snide remark about my butchering the english language.
while i am a professional,here is something to think about:
if sentence structure and grammar are a sign of intelligence or a higher education ernest hemmingway would never have had one sentence published.

my POINT,
you know..the one you missed...
is that public education is set up to stagnate.
i was reprimanded for teaching in a way not according to NCLB guidelines.
tests are arbitrary and are an obtuse and vague determination of not only what you have learned by HOW you can or may apply it to other areas.
my job,in my opinion,was to get kids to THINK not memorize.
yet that was the very thing the school system was forcing me to do.
i rebelled,because thats what i do when faced with something so morally WRONG.
you say history is only names and dates.
realy?...REALLY?
because if what you say is true then you dont know history.
you may know names and dates but you dont UNDERSTAND and that was your teachers job.one in which im guessing they failed.
good god man!history,civics,the social sciences and literature all can teach you ways of thinking and viewing the world which can be hugely beneficial to you in the years to come.
names and dates.../shakes head..sheesh.
you want to judge my intelligence and knowledge by my sentence structure thats your choice.i really dont give a rats ass,but dont expect me to take you seriously when you regurgitate the same indoctrinational vomit thats been fed to you and tell me it is "education".
its not.
knowledge without mileage=bullshit.

with you?
my kids are grown but DAMN we would make not only pretty babies but wikkid smaht ones too!
ok..im in.
ill change diapers but good luck waking me at 3 in the morning.

I woke up this morning and decided I wanted to sift the Vandals. You're sifting music I love.. aww... can we be 16 year old cuties again? Being old sucks. I want to be 16. Rottenseed lives like 3 miles from where i was in San Diego. Almost everything i sift is from the 90's so I am pretty sure I am trying to take it there as well. That does sound exciting. I wish that I could go do that. I have to do some training Friday for my assistant. Taking pictures at a fire festival does sound exciting,but I am not sure I will be able to go. i will let you know if I can.
