One day at work ( catering in the film industry ) a mate rushes up to me ; '' Got any old fish leftover ? '' Me ; '' Why ?'' '' Some smart arse put prawns in my wheel hubcaps , I figured out who it was , I want to get even . '' '' Okay , come into the cool room, I will have a look .... hmmm , I haven't opened this plastic tub for while , it did have leftover seafood of some type in it ...... GHAAAA! '' The smell knocked us backwards .... there was a lone sole in there ... not in good condition . '' Perfect!'' mate said '' nice and flat ! '' and put it in a plastic bag and ran off with it . This guy used to be a mechanic and knows just about everything to do with a car . Later he told me ; '' I broke into his car , slit the carpet over the hump ( the transmission tunnel ) , sprayed in some solvent , got the carpet up , put the fish in there and flattened it out ... where the floor stays nice and warm and put the carpet back over it, sprayed glue and stuck the slit back together .. . he will never find that ! '' - not the sort of guy one should piss off .

Oh right ..... you were the guy that was saying we are finished .... daobums over and all that . Now you want us all to fight ? here you go ... just what you need ....

What about a meeting of 'prominent men ' from around the world that go through weird rituals, meeting at a campground and in front of a statue of a giant owl symbolic burn their 'cares' (in a ritual called the 'Cremation of Care ' so they will feel free of the responsibilities that their adverse decisions will make on other people . I can do whatever I want to you bunch .... magic owl take away my bad karma - you think I am making it up dont ya ?

Where do I get one hose costumes ? I wouldnt feel right doing it without the proper uniform .

It looks like you have .

I knew a guy that went for a skate down the road to Garie beach .... only wearing his board shorts ! '' ..... I had me thongs on me hands ! '' he would correct people . He didnt make it ..... the 'death wobbles' at high speed . .

Yes, but that is a rather 'self - sustaining point ' . You would have to argue that a particular culture had the oral tradition first , in this case , the early Jews , then the story spread to other cultures , say the Egyptians and the Assyrians . Then the Assyrians and Egyptians developed writing and wrote the stories down . Then, one supposes , later the Jews wrote the story down . We then have an earlier written version from Egypt and Assyria and a later version from Judasim BUT the story itself is original to the Jews . is that the sort of thing you are suggesting ? Can you see why its 'self-sustaining ' ? What proof do you have where an oral tradition started ? You have as much proof of an oral tradition starting in Assyria as you do it starting in Judaism . And least with the dating of the written stories we have proof, context and relationship to other cultures writings . Well, at least here in Oz (having no great rivers for floods ) the old stories about the floods are clearly indicating ocean rise . bad floods hitting ancient civilizations are usually because they are at the delta of massive river systems . They can usually be identified by elements in the story , pretty clearly . There isnt a flood in the Avesta ( although some claim there is an equivalent ... nah . ), its a 'great cold and deep snow coming . Bad and excessive . These types seem to indicate a climate event on a smaller scale something like the 'Younger Dryer Event ' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Younger_Dryas#:~:text=The Younger Dryas (YD%2C Greenland,the Southern Hemisphere experienced warming. and some seem 'purely mythological' ... a cultural adaption to an earlier or someone else's story with 'poetic flourishes' eg Ovid - The Deluge . Earlier this today I was taking to someone and noted their good health into old age and they mentioned their granny was still 'sprightly' at 104 . Do you prefer quantity or quality (of years ) ?

I tend not to take examples from or aspirations to ' pop culture media ' .

Ocean levels rising , but your location sounds safe . Yes, that is why I advised you to read the Bible more and also read about the Bible ... actually 'read more' , it won't harm you . reading too much of one thing might ? Yes, all of those things ... Biblical characters do not have a monopoly on those things . But at times, with Jesus , it seems like a whim . Mathew 11 : 12 &13 is rather curious in this regard , dont you think ( compared to his actions at Matthew 14: 13 -21 ) ? But you do not have to be an atheist to realize this . The person that turned me on to seriously looking into this ( O.T. mind you ) Hebrew and Christian OT BIble story ( ie not factual ) was a Rabbi , and he certainly was not an atheist . He openly admitted it was a story .... a good one ! Look what it had achieved for the Jews ! In that respect, it is a phenomenal success . By the way, I am not an atheist . Some of those 'arguments' are very badly done and based on old outdated info .

OR it might be if you get the dosage right

What type of alchemy is not real ?

Did you ripplecrete the driveway ?

No ... things ' have got ' and 'were ' if you are worried about 'tense' .

A friend of mine .... back in the day ... would skate home from work , on a familiar route ,. One monday (after the weekend ) he rounded a downhill corner on the concrete footpath, came to a house that had new concrete path laid ... to late ; it had sheet metal concreted into it with the edges protruding above the surface , he came off and slid along the rough surface , got some knee damage . The owner rushed out ; ''Are you ok?'' '' No ! What the hell is this .'' '' Oh , I put them in to stop people skateboarding past my house . Sorry ... ummm .... do you want to come in for a cup of tea ? ''

.. apparently red causes some to faint

I doubt anyone that googles something then goes and studies it But yes, it does seem some youths end up in daobums - and some even 'wind up ' on daobums

Here is a curious thing about attempts to find elixir / pill for health / immortality ... and it ends up making you sick or killing you ; things like selenium ... if it isnt in your soil, plants, food and yourself ..... in the right minute quantity , you will get sick ; Dosage is crucial as well when considering these things A lack of dietary selenium can increase the risk of serious health issues such as Keshan disease (a heart condition), Kashin-Beck disease (a cartilage and joint disease), thyroid problems, infertility, and immune system dysfunction. It may also impair cognitive function, exacerbate the negative effects of iodine deficiency on thyroid health, and contribute to fatigue but too much ; Too much selenium, also known as selenium toxicity, can cause symptoms such as garlic breath, a metallic taste in the mouth, hair loss, brittle nails, skin rash, nausea, diarrhea, and extreme tiredness. High doses can lead to severe nervous system and heart problems, difficulty breathing, tremors, muscle tenderness, kidney or heart failure, and, in rare cases, death. The upper limit for adults is 400 mcg of selenium per day from all sources, including food and supplements

Then think of them as tools I have a variety of weapons that I train with and use . Many are based on tools . Of course, most of the time I do not need them . I thought you had a family ? Do you know what a 'home invasion ' is ? My teacher ( now passed ) explained why we should study martial arts ( him and his style were very traditional ) ; '' Number one , to protect your parents, two , to protect your family and household, 3 to protect yourself so you can keep doing 1 and 3 . The warrior spirit is something you may not understand , but a good warrior spirit enables one to eg. ; Guy running amok with a large knife , he has already slashed a poor innocent elderly lady fleeing him , across her back - people are running away in panic although they outnumber him at least 5 to 1 . One guy says stuff this, who is with me, another volunteers , they both pick up a chair from an outside cafe ( thats a weapon ! ) and subdue him . The motive for fighting is to protect the old, young, infirm etc . The point is , if we all band together ... or even a few of us , we dont need to have this often minority 'mass social bullying ' of the majority . - then again , I am not sure of your location. Maybe people parade up your street toting guns ? That would change one's perspective .. that has a greater degree of militancy ! You aren't one of those 'eternal optimists' in the face of obvious looking negativity are you ? Move to a higher non coastal location , I'd say . . . for a start Super duper evil tech has advanced .... you may not realize how much you are being influenced ..... ? People flock to it, as it is the realest and most legit thing that exists in this world. ...... that exists for them . Ahhhmmm .... or was Jesus trying to show his hand that he could do it too .... 'manifest' as you put it ,even in the Bible, goes way back , the Egyptians doing magic with sticks and snakes , Moses parting seas , Jesus contemporary Simon Magus that flew through the air , etc etc . Its common though for some Christians to be unaware of a lot of history and then claim Christianity of Jesus was the origin of these things and everyone copied them . Maybe they are Christians in a 'Christian' country ? Just like some Muslims do , citing the Quran or basing their society on its teachings . Nothing strange there . The other thing to consider is that the Bible in many aspects is a hotch potch of borrowings itself . Not a lot of 'original' stuff there .

Oh , I failed too ... I should have said (according to OP ) medical alchemy . But I do like your straightforward 7 word answer . ' One that does not need to 'beat around the bush' , already knows where the bird is '

They usually dont . Good ! better than playing a video game . Depends on the book

That does not surprise me . History is full of places and times when diverse people lived together ; Jew and Muslim as well . Muslim and Zoroastrian too . It isnt until any sort of or any type of religo/political fanatics arise that the so called 'we hate each other' crap starts . I think 'Love Boat' would make the better tv series . As far as raft adventures go for ya ... here is a good one ! Sth America to Australia ! and just about no one knows about it ; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vital_Alsar_Pacific_raft_expeditions Depends on if we have subtle political fascists in charge now or not Good ... if it ever turns out you have to participate ... we dont want soldiers ... that want to hurt people .

Dont pollute your brain further with that trash ^ Appears to have a damaged brain . As I said ... yes , you should read it more then .
