They say it's not unusual. Perhaps we never hear about them because they are barely detectable without machines.

It's really a bit too rhetorical. We all know we can't prove that rocks aren't intelligent. However, you won't see too many dollars invested to prove they are. We like to invest time and money where the fruits are more apparent. Maybe a battery which lasts longer or a cure for cancer. Very few people are going to try to file patents for methods to weigh the soul.

I had a hallucination as a young kid once. After I woke up from sleeping on the floor in my parents' room, I started to walk toward the kitchen. I was definitely awake. I don't know what possessed me to open their bedroom closet, which was on the way, but I did. When I opened it, I saw goblins (whatever a goblin is supposed to look like). It scared the heck out of me, and I ran right back to where I was sleeping and tried to go back to sleep. I couldn't go back to sleep, so I went into the kitchen and told my folks what I saw. They said I was probably still dreaming.

Sleep reverses the polarity?

Hallucinations are common. If you can dream while asleep, what prevents you from doing so while awake?

That's like saying rocks just might have intelligence. I wouldn't bet on it, bet anything's possible.

Particles with no mass? Or a new revelation that the force of gravity is not proportional to the mass of the objects?

It was a stupid idea to begin with. Secure currency is all fine, but $1.00 is still $1.00. Ok, maybe $1.03 because it's secure. Other than that, the whole thing is tulip mania.

Instead of arguing politics, we get to devote our time to arguing whether a discussion involves politics. Grrrrreat!

"Thou shalt not say anything which might affect stock values..." That's a pretty tough one. I understand there's a whole set of rules and the rationale for them, but it has to be mind-boggling when you get to the center of it at some level.

Drones to carry people.

"LF" must be his lady friend.

Gotta keep the loonies on the path.

Why not? Tubes vs. SS. Analog vs. digital. All discussions of human behavior are inherently "political."

It seems to me people run the gamut, from male to female, and all points in between. Some are even born with both forms of genitalia, and for most, if not all, of them, "decisions must be made." Just imagine, though, with all those points between, how everything hormonal can be in a state of flux.
