I would email it to the Time Cube god master but I think he blocked my email account.
i enjoy the guest speakers that appear on tech tv's "unscrewed" show.
in the latest one i watched there was a guy that believes the earth is encased in an imaginary cube, and that this proves there are 4 simultaneous days in a single earth rotation.. http://www.timecube.com.
some quotes from his site:hey stupid - are you too dumb to know there are 4 different simultaneous 24 hour days within a single rotation of earth?.

you can't bring a food cooler to the assemblies!.
wasn't there a post quite awhile ago where someone brought this up?
i recall that someone said that for lunch they had to go out to the local mini-mart and grab a hot dog that was simmering all day on the grill!
This cooler rule is not too new... and there's nothing really wrong with it. They just didn't want people bringing those enormous coolers that take up seating space. People bring small personal coolers and those are fine.
It is lame that they have to continually remind people about things that should be common sense.
i'm going to be offline for quite a while.
i'm moving this weekend and the computer i use belongs to my sister.
since i will no longer be living with her i won't have daily access to a computer.
Aztec, congrats on moving into your own place and I hope the job works out! You'll be missed!
hi.. i am a long time member of the board, but i am too embarrassed to put this under my username.
if people 'discover' who this is, please keep it to yourselves.
simon, my apologies, but please understand why i created the username.
Aspiration,
I agree with some of the others on this board. It sounds like you have clinical depression.... where you just feel dead, depressed but there isn't really anything in your life that SHOULD be causing you to feel this way.
Medication could certainly help relieve this. I have people close to me who are on medication for depression and it can work wonders. I strongly suggest you see a psychiatrist.
Best of luck!

for those who are interested here is a picture of the universe at around 300,000 years old.. this is concidered the discovery of the century (1992).. http://www.lbl.gov/lbl-pid/george-smoot.html.
there is of coarse much written about this discovery "wrinkles in time" by george smoot himself is a very good book on the subject.
Don't they often use just another spiral galaxy (supposedly similar to our own) when showing a picture of our Milky Way? It would be impossible (?) to get a picture of the "flat" side of the Milky Way from our position.
as witnesses we were told to "be lowly of mind".
and though the corporation has no problem tooting its own horn, it was always in bad form for the rf to do that.
as a business owner i know that self-promotion is essential for success.
I used to try to minimize the compliment... because it made me uncomfortable. But I try now just to say "thanks."
being raised a witness, my mother has asked me whether or not i held her responsible for her bringing me up in the way that she has.
i feel that my upbringing is something my mother can be proud about.
even though i do not believe in the "truth", i do feel that she did a good job of raising us.
YES, my parents were great.
They did not use manipulation, anger, or yelling when dealing with the children or each other... EVER. It was a regular Leave it to Beaver househould. (Well, not quite, but almost.)
the message is in the title.. but it is true.
cults do not use the vast amounts of money they have their rank and file produce for them to do good works in society, for their members, or for any other societally acceptable reason.
more than any other religion in "christendom" the cult, cult, of jehovah's witnesses is a rare and a snacket, or if you wish, a snare and a racket.
Heh, when my wife was only 8 and people at the door would say "you poor thing... you've been brainwashed", her dad would say "of course you've been brainwashed. But in a good way!"
ok, being the 80's teen i was.....here goes.... 5. milli vanilli.
girl you know its true (g g g girl!!).

interesting how the theorists of evolution still try to fight the laws of reason while trying to keep alive this dying ideology.
you were thaying?
Aztec,
Please help me. I am very conflicted and confused over JWZone. On the one hand I despise the WTS. But on the other hand I enjoy Star Trek and accept the nerdiness associated with it. What can I do to resolve this dilemma of universal proportions?
