About $100 in marbles. Going buy a 3000 case bulk rate, typically.

Some people see WHERE the marble is and others see WHY the marble is.

Fascinating autism test for "theory of the mind" in children

wow I gotta say, I would have failed that - there are certain clues in sentences that let you figure out what the rest of the sentence is going to lead to, and when it started with "where will...." you are automatically assuming you need to find where something is - in this case the marble. Without paying very careful attention to every word (which the lady didn't enunciate very clearly) I think it's fair for the mind to start to think about where the marble is rather than where it was.

So a couple of things:
1. The lady should have simplified the whole story, and made it more fit for a boy (how many boys play with dolls called Sally?) She also should have setup the final question more clearly, i.e.

"When Jack comes home from school, the first thing he does is play marbles, he always keeps his marbles in his top draw.

One day Bob takes the marbles while Jack is at school

When Jack comes home, where is he going to look for the marbles?"

I think that is a lot more fair because the important, final question, starts by setting the scene in Jack's house, so your mind is picturing being in Jack's house and you're in Jack's shoes.

Late 50, early 60s. Things didn't work so well in those early days. I'll send him an email and ask for more details as to why that particular missile was blown up.

(He's 91 in January. Still has his marbles!)

Neil deGrasse Tyson schooling ignorant climate fools

Climate change-The hot-topic for a new age of ineffectuals...something for the insects to rally-around and discuss which produces nay but fodder for the same passive-aggressive types who are being seduced by their desire to trade practical action (whatever that could be) for polemic intercourse with themselves and others like them on the internet....

....people who are passionate to a fault and use forums like this to espouse their anger and frustration with tomes of keystrokes AT and not WITH others they deem unworthy, those ignorant and simpering few with opinions or observations dissimilar to theirs (and lower than 130 I.Q.'s....*cough), who know they are helpless to act to stop the high-speed train of planet-fucking (wage-slave-required and dutifully induced through the programming by adepts of semantic mind-fucking).This delusional empowerment, with all the invisible superpowers of new 'information' gives them the license and ability to do absolutely nothing to correct or marginally disrupt the pace of the so-labeled change while becomming better dicks in doing-so.

This fan-driven subject of climate change they use not only to deride those with any dissenting opinion and doubt regarding the mechanics and unfolding of what our big, blue marble is handing the creatures onnit, but also and most evidently obvious, to bolster their own superiority and self-satisfaction in their ability to process the distraction of disinformation/information/datum-ad-nauseum, and then condense it into how clever they can be in being complete assholes without breaking rules of accepted decorum so they can hear themselves bark, howl, and foment.

Smug, helpless, and irritatingly predictable in their helplessness to do anything more effectual than to add more used motor oil to the bonfire of their own vanity.

I would ask these irritating bugs what ARE you prepared to do to alter the course of the 'changes' in the 'terminal climate' described above? Recycle and drive a hybrid? Sacrifice anything but another trip to a polling-station? Oh I know, sit at your computer keyboard and grow more incensed while going-on with your business of spouting and shouting from a mountain of trash that you add-to daily by converting oxygen to more life-giving C02 and buying shit you don't need with paper you are forced to trade for 'bads and disservices??'

Thought so.

Fuck global warming in it's ass and let the planet shake and quiver with change as humans and/or their own slave-like actions continue to feed the earth-furnace. The bigger fish to fry and serve head-on have you by the short and curlies and we're all bio-fuel for future generations

Broken lives of immigrants deported from US to Mexico

Most of them do as they follow their friends and family across the porous border. The inaction of the United States to curtail their illegal entry?

By design.

As far as following rules ant? Rules are suggestions offered-up in a vain and covetous attempt to keep big-brained herd animals from turning feral en masse.

The BBC? Love what they've done with their Department of Audio and Music Interactive, whose inception and evolution has inspired many a rousing ditty or two and the world has Daphne Oram and Delia Derbyshire to thank for this.

God bless two of the most powerful and influential women to ever grace the marble.

U.S. Patent #1329559 A ~ Tesla's Valvular Conduit

Drachen_Jager says...

This might work on air, because you can compress air, but I'm pretty certain it won't work on water.

Water is not a marble. It's not even millions of marbles, though that might better illustrate how it would move through the 'valve'. In reality the water is going up all those side channels AND the central 'smooth' channel all at once. The back eddies from the side channels will serve to help guide the water flowing up the main tube and if you can get ANY suction out of that sucker at all I'd be amazed.

Like I say, air is more complex. It might work there, but the efficiency would be so low I can't ever see this replacing a standard pump.

This man has always sounded like he has a sack of hot marbles in his mouth....the same marbles that rolled from his head and into the back of his throat like a Parcheesi machine
