  I thought I would share an article about the development of trichromatic colour vision and how a study of the differences in the genes responsible for production of the different opsin (light absorbing) proteins in old and new world monkeys found in the retina gives some insight into how colour may have evoled. I wonder if the Awake! will publish a synopsis of this work as part of it ambition to provide dubs with a university equivalent education?

  James Brown, are you seriously telling me that you believe that?

  Language has evolved as Homo sapiens has spread across the globe not the other way round. You really should stop gaining your world view from a book of ancient myths.

  Come with me, back to the 1980s--you know want to.

  i don't know about ya'll, but i did not appreciate the 1980s enough.

  i was too busy lamenting how different they were from the 1960s and 1970s to bask in and appreciate how wonderful they were.. this is 80s music, especially new wave music, and 80s fashion and culture appreciation thread.

  what did you love about the 80s?

  What will you do to celebrate Oct 2 2014?

  by jwfacts in

  like most people reading this, i was convinced that by 2014 the new system would 'definitely' have been operating for at least a decade.

  now that i know this is not going to be the case i am going to have to think of some way to recognise 100 years of wts let downs and failed predictions.

  there is no point fretting over the past so i think it will be a good time to celebrate.

  Three Types of People and Their Destinies!

  by Kalos in

  2. beliefs

  [christiansincluding jwstried very hard with their evangelism among the hindus, but did not accomplish much.

  because the hindus are in possession of something better.

  the actual name of hindus is sanatana dharma (eternal duty) which is defined as taking delight in the welfare of all beings (bhagavat gita 12:4, 20) hindus (which literally means those who live by the sides of indus river) is a superficial and geographical name given to them later.
