I mean this post with the utmost belief that this interpretation of the events is held. I allege nothing at all, but that this interpretation is indeed held. I don't want this to be contentious. My only purpose is to assure people that GeoShift in his post and I in my previous post in this...

Great videos, Bob. Thank you! I've been interested in this device for so long I can't remember, and studies of it have appeared in several journals and magazines. The people involved in reconstructing what the original was like have largely agreed, though there has been some polite...

I think "bastards" and "lying sacks of useless skin" are not accurate here. GeoShift is correct. The disaster in Japan is indeed horrific, and research will show that in the U.S. safety measures are and have been in place. I want to limit my comment to the United States. Of course, links...

A delectable, scrumptious, and mouthwatering smorgasbord awaits us in the paranormal ristorante. You can order from the menu of fine dishes, or you can wend your tray down the buffet line. Some of the fine dishes our chef specializes in await your eager palate. He cooks them all himself, a...

Well, Pixel, keep it coming. As I said, I will address religion only as it may tangentially touch other topics on this forum. I do think that theologians/philosophers/scientists of very, very high caliber have addressed the actual spiritual aspects of religion, yes, the existence of God, for...

Now, Pixel, go back and read my posts elsewhere and you will see that where I've stated belief in things that have no empirical evidence, I have stated such. And that when talking about the history of religion, and its aspects here on earth, I have provided evidence and specifics, and...

Bob, that was a great video. I'd been waiting to watch it when I'd have time to watch it all the way through without stopping. I liked the down to earth narration, the attribution of the building of the pyramids to, yes, the Egyptians (!), and the premium the author of the video placed on...

Wow, Pixel, that was really something indeed.;) I think my reply to you about the water level was quite a good one, not meant to incite you. I see a new twist now of condemning me. I've never made it a secret, it's on my profile, that I'm a retired teacher. But since Angelo, and I credit...

Of course, Rick, I agree with you that slavery in and of itself is a horrible institution, and nothing good, in principle, can be said of it, and I'm in no way defending it. However, slavery in antiquity, and that's what I'm speaking of here, is quite a bit more complex than you illustrate it...

Gosh, Kieran, and Gordon, too, I would hope you'd have enjoyed the debate. It seems that you, Kieran, are sort of deflated, sort of sighing in disappointment. It was a debate, that's all. You sound resigned, that nothing was accomplished, in your last post there. Isn't that what a debate is, a...

Kieran, the Inventory Stela is dated to the TWENTY SIXTH Dynasty. Khufu/Cheops was a pharaoh of the FOURTH Dynasty. TWO THOUSAND YEARS separated the two dynasties. Are you saying that the stela was CONTEMPORANEOUS with, was made during the reign of Khufu/Cheops? The stela was made about...

Hi, Kieran. Yes, I'm very aware of this Inventory Stela. It is the consensus, and I did some refresher on it just now, to have been done in the seventh century BC, in the reign of a much, much later ruler than when the pyramids were built, or that it is an ancient forgery perhaps. But it does...

"misquoting disingenuously for purposes of being purposefully argumentative" Well, you've certainly come into this forum a blazin' away! I quoted you perfectly, and asked you questions about specifics of the statements you made. They were pretty incendiary toward a group of very hard working...

Good post, Bob. Kim:)

You know, Pixel, I must say I admire this post, really.:) True, I've never used a garden hose on my parents' property, where I've put in a lot of posts, and when done with students (it's a good science experiment with fourth graders), I've also used translucent tubing for visibility. So, I...

You alleged some very strong things about teachers, and that's fine, your opinion. But you expressed them so venomously that I asked you for specifics. You also alleged some very strong things about teachers "living lies" and being under the "tyrannical" domination of this "Elite" in a list...

Pixel, why not just use translucent tubing? It's more flexible by far, even with hose size tubing, and you can even add some coloring or, as my friend down the street did, used colored windshield cleaner fluid. You can check for air bubbles more easily (very important) and it's a heck of a lot...

What I'm wondering about is the garden hose part, Pixel. I've used clear tubing for better visibility. But if you can make one using a garden hose, so be it. Just curious as to how with the hose, and I'll be willing to learn. As for the pyramids, you'll just have to put your beer and...

Well, Pixel, you didn't give an exactly clear explanation of how you set the height of those posts using water. I'm not saying you didn't do it, and do it well, but could you give me a step by step description of how water was used, exactly, to set the heights of the posts? Thanks. Kim:)

Ok, sorry, didn't mean to offend you. It's just that when you said all that stuff about teachers, it was pretty, well, way out there. You made some very specific observations, rather strongly, about teachers, So, just asked for specifics, point by point, of your contentions. Sorry if that...
