Jesus to His followers

universe to its creation

UCoC to their congregants

the Canadian gov't to their constituents

all Fathers to Their Children

ok, by now you've heard of not only the Idahoan Solar Roads and the pretty Singaporian Solar Trees

Holland is also trying something out

The Solaroad:

well there are Solar Roadways being worked out

some wicked creative domesticated primates in Singapore are now making solar-powered supertrees

in recognition for all those who were hired to try to accomplish the impossible, which they did

humanity is awesome in its abilities

if only this had happened instead?

fellow convivial sentients

so yanno i like to sometimes surf the web

there's so much to see

so many different cultures

blasphemies

sacredness

almost like i am an explorer going through 'ancient civilizations'

and we domesticated primates are still trying to figure out what to do with this glorious American invention called the Internet

Here's a fun cartoon illustrating what I find to be hilarilously absurd when followers of either the OWS & Tea Party movement denigrate the other

Let this thread be used, by you convivial sentients, to yakk aboot other silly domesticated primate things you've come across

fellow convivial sentients,

in homage to those who have fought against the herd's calls of 'you're wrong', 'don't do that', 'that's silly'

"Swearing can actually increase pain tolerance" -- this study won an Ig-Nobel

apparently there is a phone scam going around

where you'll get a phone call saying that they're from Microsoft Technical Support and they have detected a problem with your computer and they want to help you

here are some instances of people who have played along

one of them straight

"In a study published online last month in The Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication, we and three colleagues report on an experiment designed to measure what one might call “the nasty effect.”

there has been talk of role-playing games and Live Action Role Playing Games being at the end of their existence...

but one just has to look at the statistics and be heartened

right now, number one spot is a race for two very big RPGs & LARPs (each with many different subrules and subcultures), Christianity & Islam

With Hinduism, a much older RPG/LARP in third place

So bless you, Axial Age, for bringing us this bounty
