Endowment Selling

In the UK, Endowment Selling is a way to make more money from life insurance. To my imagination, it sounds like male prostitution

Data Recovery Service

There are many companies offering to help you get your data back after a hard drive crash. Think about it though, it sounds like some kind of spy operation. They recover stolen data from terrorists or something.

I’ll post more after I think of more.

After I explained my idea to him he told me he wanted to know what happened in Roswell. Here’s my take (jokingly or course). The aliens wanted a vacation to earth, so they send a weather balloon. They miscalculated something so the balloon popped and fell to earth and landed in Roswell, NM. They decided to cancel the vacation here because of insufficient data. That’s why we haven’t made contact with aliens.

Joking aside, I do have an idea to make a realistic UFO. It’s just an idea I toyed with for an hour.

Pay attention. About 46 seconds in, the copter makes a sideways slide, then flies straight up.

That got me thinking about UFO movement that people have reported, so I thought of an idea on how to play a joke on UFO enthusiasts.

You take some perforated material and make a UFO shaped shell. Preferably something light. The perforations would be to cut down on wind resistance that the shell will cause. You have to leave spots open for each propeller. You then put a bright omnidirectional light inside so the light shows through the holes in the perforated material.

All that is left now is to fly it at night. From a distance the propeller sound shouldn’t be heard. All they should see is a strange light that is doing unnatural flying in the sky.

EDIT: This video has less propellers, but you can see more of the maneuverability.

A geomagnetic reversal is a change in the orientation of Earth’s magnetic field such that the positions of magnetic north and magnetic south become interchanged. These events often involve an extended decline in field strength followed by a rapid recovery after the new orientation has been established. These events occur on a scale of tens of thousands of years or longer.

I recently came across an article saying the North pole is moving towards Siberia at 37 miles per year. If Wikipedia is correct, it should be moving much slower than that.

I was watching TV the other day and they compared the recent earthquake in Haiti with the earthquake that caused the big tsunami in 2004.

My mind being overactive, got me thinking. What if, the north pole moving is causing stress in some of the fault lines and causing these earthquakes. I know I’m not a scientist and I don’t know much about geology, but it’s something to think about. I mean, some rocks are attracted to magnetic fields because of the iron in them.

I wonder if we wont start seeing many more of these huge earthquakes in the coming years.

That’s just how my brain works.

When I first posted my post about the full moon affecting peoples behavior, I never expected it to be the most popular post on the blog. It seems that once a month around the full moon I see a HUGE spike in traffic.

Reading the comments that are posted on the post I see lots of people that have trouble sleeping around the full moon. That is something that happens to me when it’s full. I know it has nothing to do with the extra light that comes in the windows around the time. I have blinds that block out most of the light when it’s full.

Other Things I’ve noticed range from mundane to plain odd. Lots of people are or know someone who is irritable around the full moon. Some comments said that they are more aggressive in bed. (I had to delete them because they contained some graphic sexual content. I gotta keep this blog PG ya know.) One woman also said her period follows the full moon.

My mom even told me that she talked to someone that worked in a mental hospital and asked him if more “loonies” come in on a full moon. He told her it’s like any other night. The next full moon they had more admitted than on a normal week.

There’s something to think about here.

Since the gravitational effect from the moon controls the tides in the oceans and humans are mostly water (70% or so), is it safe to think that the moon could actually have some effect on us? I know during a full moon I don’t sleep as well as I do when it’s not a full moon.

Just something to think about.

I’ll let you think about that for a while. I’ll be here when you get back.

Can’t you just imagine them sitting in the butchery (is that a word?) and attaching wierd pieces of meat together and then plugging them in to see if they come to life. Sadly they only start smoking and smelling like burnt meat. Then they try to attach a fish head to a chicken body then they plug that in. When the head pops because the current is too much, they just turn down the current and try again with a different fish species. When nothing works, they get back to work with sad looks on their faces. Sorry, not today, maybe tomarrow.

Using a simple laser pointer, a few misc parts, and about 15 minutes, you can make a simple laser communicator that converts a sound source into light that travels across a room, and back into sound with very little quality loss.

This is something I want to do. I just don’t have the skills. Imagine using something like this to send data from once source to another. Just convert the 1s and 0s to sound and transmit them, then convert them back to 1s and 0s. Could work.

Don’t take anything or do anything malicious, just have fun with your friend. It may be a good idea to let the neighbors know what you are doing so they don’t call the police on you.

Disclaimer: This was just an idea, any damage or negative actions aren’t my responsibility.

I’ve decided when I die, I want part of the flesh cut of my leg and a metal plate embedded into the bone with my name and birth and death dates. Then i want to be placed in a funeral pyre with the gifts from my loved ones. I’m not talking cremation, I want my bones to survive. Then I want my bones and the remains of the gifts put in a coffin. With me in the coffin will be a time capsule with a recording of me and some documents about who I was. That way future civilizations can benefit from my weirdness.

Another idea would include a web browser cartridge that connects to a wifi (802.11) network and you can surf the net and use the stylus like one would a mouse. Would be cool to have Mozilla DS. I hear they are actually working on something like this though.

I’m going to get a DS eventually. Then I’ll give or sell my Gameboy Advance to my sister. My only problem is the fact it wont play Gameboy or Gameboy color games. I’ll have to pick up a Gameboy Color to play my old games. Who knows maybe somewhere down the line someone will make an adapter to play them on the DS.

If light has mass, wouldn’t light go right through an “intangible” person. That would effectively render them invisible and blind. Wouldn’t it? I mean light wouldn’t bounce off them to be reflected back to our eyes. And they would be blind because reflected light would pass right through their eyes.

One could go one step further and ask if they would still exist at this point. Unless they did have a way to become solid again, light wouldn’t touch them. So would they exist anymore?

Ragnarok “Doom of the Gods”, also called Gotterdammerung, means the end of the cosmos in Norse mythology. It will be preceded by Fimbulvetr, the winter of winters. Three such winters will follow each other with no summers in between.

To me that sounds like some kind of nuclear winter.

Conflicts and feuds will break out, even between families, and all morality will disappear. This is the beginning of the end. The wolf Skoll will finally devour the sun, and his brother Hati will eat the moon, plunging the earth darkness.

Sounds like darkness caused by either ash from an asteroid impact or the debris from a nuclear blast.

The stars will vanish from the sky. The cock Fjalar will crow to the giants and the golden cock Gullinkambi will crow to the gods. A third cock will raise the dead. The earth will shudder with earthquakes, and every bond and fetter will burst, freeing the terrible wolf Fenrir.

Impact of an asteroid or nuclear blast.

The sea will rear up because Jormungand, the Midgard Serpent, is twisting and writhing in fury as he makes his way toward the land.

Melting of the polar ice caps because of the ash of debris holding in the Earths heat.

With every breath, Jormungand will stain the soil and the sky with his poison.

The air and ground with lots of ash or radiation.

The waves caused by the serpent’s emerging will set free the ship Naglfar, and with the giant Hymir as their commander, the giants will sail towards the battlefield. From the realm of the dead a second ship will set sail, and this ship carries the inhabitants of hell, with Loki as their helmsman. The fire giants, led by the giant Surt, will leave Muspell in the south to join against the gods. Surt, carrying a sword that blazes like the sun itself, will scorch the earth.

Sounds to me like the flash caused by nuclear explosion.

Meanwhile, Heimdall will sound his horn, calling the sons of Odin and the heroes to the battlefield. From all the corners of the world, gods, giants, dwarves, demons and elves will ride towards the huge plain of Vigrid “battle shaker” where the last battle will be fought. Odin will engage Fenrir in battle, and Thor will attack Jormungand. Thor will victorious, but the serpent’s poison will gradually kill the god of thunder. Surt will seek out the swordless Freyr, who will quickly succumb to the giant. The one-handed Tyr will fight the monstrous hound Garm and they will kill each other. Loki and Heimdall, age-old enemies, will meet for a final time, and neither will survive their encounter. The fight between Odin and Fenrir will rage for a long time, but finally Fenrir will seize Odin and swallow him. Odin’s son Vidar will at once leap towards the wolf and kill him with his bare hands, ripping the wolf’s jaws apart. Then Surt will fling fire in every direction. The nine worlds will burn, and friends and foes alike will perish. The earth will sink into the sea.

Fire similar to the one that’s said to have covered the Earth with the asteroid that caused the dinosaurs to become extinct.

After the destruction, a new and idyllic world will arise from the sea and will be filled with abundant supplies. Some of the gods will survive, others will be reborn. Wickedness and misery will no longer exist and gods and men will live happily together. The descendants of Lif and Lifthrasir will inhabit this earth.

The survivors of the war or astreroid impact.
