my handle: mindchild comes from computer scientist and futurist dr. hans moravec: who wrote the book, the future of robot and human intelligence which is a book about when we will be able to construct machines capable of human intelligence and raises the possibility of uploading ourselves (every thought we ever had) into an android body much superior to the human ones we have now.

i entertain the hope that not only will i live long enough to see this happen, i will transfer myself (the complete essence of what is me) into a body of my own choosing and become immortal if i so choose.

David Gladden is the name I gave myself.

When I was young my parents asked me if I wanted to name myself. I spent some time thinking of a name and then they went to a court and had my name legally changed.

It was nice getting to name myself... I think more parents should give their kids the same opportunity. The only problem is that if some ever made fun of my name when I was a kid, I could only blame myself! ;)

well,,,,, not really - but the letter came addressed to my husband - my name is listed on the inside card.

its for my x-husbands nephew.. i think i might go to the reception (and only the reception - i am not steping foot in a hall if i can help it!!!!

)- just to see the looks on the faces of those there - but more so for my nephew's sake.

David Gladden

I was able to attend my sister’s ceremony (at the KH) on the condition that I stayed to the side. When I showed up at the reception my dad told me that I would have to leave... something about having to "maintain unity" and not "eating with evil people".

Remember the knights in Monty Python and the Holy Grail?
"Run Away! Run Away! Run Away!"

My experience with older women is this: They are very talented in certain [ahem] areas, so have fun with them, but don't get in a relationship.

Do you like to talk while having sex?

by butalbee in

"oh baby, oh baby, yes..."

David Gladden

Sure... I like to ask the girl where/how she likes to be touched and tell her where/how to touch me. Not to mention letting her know when I'm about to cum, girls seem to get really turned on by that and cum with me.

The Simpsons

by gilwarrior in

is it just me or has homer gotten dumber over the years?

David Gladden

Well, there was that episode when he pulled the crayon out of his brain and became very smart (He had shoved it up his nose when he was a kid). He discovered that he didn't like being smart and shoved the crayon back in - that could explain his dumbing down.

What the Black Sun and the red moon mean in Rev.?

by 607BCisAbigLIE in

in this tread, i will post comments about what is the meaning of the moon that becomes red as blood in the revelation, and the sun that becomes black.

are those phisical signs?

that is what we will discuss here.. first, is it possible that the moon could become phisicaly red as blood, in its litteral sense?

David Gladden

Sounds like the signs (including the mountain falling from the sky) would entail a Lunar Eclipse, Solar Eclipse, Meteor Shower, and a large meteor striking the earth.

I'm an amateur astronomer and know for a fact that it is impossible for there to be a Lunar and Solar eclipse within the same day, or even the same month. These two events would have to be separated by at least six months.

Now a meteor shower preceding a major meteor strike is certainly plausible. This could happen if the object was originally larger and broke up before it approached the earth. This could also happen if a comet hit the earth, but the comet would have had to orbit the sun at least once before hitting the earth... that way it would leave behind the particles for the meteor shower.

If you ask for my opinion, I would say that the author was making reference to all of the most fear inspiring astronomical phenomena of his time, perhaps for the purpose of scaring people: It isn’t just a scary Lunar Eclipse... it isn’t just a scary Solar Eclipse... it isn’t just a scary Meteor Shower, and it isn’t just a scary large Meteor in the sky... it is ALL of them AT THE SAME TIME. That would scare the bageebees out anyone of his time period!

When he was writing it, he must have sounded just like Jack Nicholson in Batman: “Wait’ll they get a load of me!”
