Builders find body in rum barrel

Builders who drank a barrel of rum at a house in southern Hungary had a nasty surprise when they got to the bottom and found a pickled corpse.

The man's body fell out when the workers tried to move the barrel after they had drunk it dry, a Hungarian police magazine website reported.

The website said the man's wife had stored the body in the barrel after he died in Jamaica 20 years ago.

The workers said the rum had a "special taste" and had planned to bottle some.

The website said the builders made the grisly discovery six months after the woman, who was in her 80s, died.

It said the woman had shipped her husband's body back home to the city of Szeged in the rum barrel to avoid the cost and paperwork involved in sending it back by official means.

Burn Your Brain to CD

2005-05-23T18:24:00.000-04:00

According to the article "The wealthy will be able to download their consciousness into computers by 2050"

Personally I'd prefer to upload my brain to a computer, but if the wealthy will be foolish enough to try to download them instead who am I to argue.

Wonder how many DVDs it would take to fit my brain?

There's no telling how long your human voice box will hold up for. It's possible that at some point past 100 years the old vocal cords will just dry up and snap off. If that happens don't worry. There are many free voice synthesis resorces available on the web. Just type in what you want to say, choose a voice and you're set. You can even save these to wav files. Have fun.

We Are The Robots

2005-04-13T15:26:00.000-04:00

According to famed inventor and computer scientist Ray Kurzweil "we are not another animal, subject to nature's whim"

He believes that within 20 years man will have accomplished immortality. He believes that millions of tiny robots will keep us young by "by swarming through the body, repairing bones, muscles, arteries and brain cells. Improvements to our genetic coding will be downloaded from the Internet. We won't even need a heart."

And I thought is was scary flashing the bios of my motherboard. Imagine flashing your genetic code.

Is Time An Illusion?

2005-03-23T09:55:00.000-05:00

You aren't aging. It just seems like you are. Time is an illusion.

http://www.skybooksusa.com/time-travel/metaphys/istimail.htm

"JUST because we perceive time flowing in one direction, does that mean there "really is" a difference between the past and future? The old philosophical question has been re-examined by Huw Price, of the University of Sydney, in the context of quantum mechanics. He concludes that the idea that the past is not influenced by the future is an anthropocentric illusion, a "projection of our own temporal asymmetry". By allowing signals from the future to play a part in determining the outcome of quantum experiments, he can resolve all the puzzles and paradoxes of the quantum world."

"Many physicists find such ideas abhorrent, because they run counter to "common sense". They would, for example, encourage speculations like those of Henry Stapp (see Science, XX August), that our own minds can influence things that have already happened. The power of Price's approach, though, is that it offers a framework for understanding how the world can include both forward and backward causation at a fundamental level, but appear to have a unique direction of time from a human perspective."

Can Time Run Backwards?

2005-03-23T09:44:00.000-05:00

If time does run backwards, that means the older you are, the more time you've got left. Live it up all you grampys out there. You'll be young again 80 years ago.

http://www.science-spirit.org/archive_cm_detail.php?new_id=191

According to a physicist in New York State, the Universe may contain areas where milk would stir itself out of coffee and eggs would un-break. The idea that there may be regions where time runs backwards could explain invisible dark matter. This kind of matter, invoked by cosmologists to explain the movement of galaxies, could originate in a future phase of the Universe - in which the Universe is contracting.

Black Box Predicts Future

2005-02-13T11:31:00.000-05:00

Scientists have created a black box that can predict the future. They believe that somehow it is tapping into the universal mind. The theory is that time runs backwards and that our brains subconsciously know what's going to happen next. Read up. I believe this research will prove quite useful to our cause.

Here is the complete article:

Can This Black Box See Into the Future?

DEEP in the basement of a dusty university library in Edinburgh lies a small black box, roughly the size of two cigarette packets side by side, that churns out random numbers in an endless stream.

But, according to a growing band of top scientists, this box has quite extraordinary powers. It is, they claim, the 'eye' of a machine that appears capable of peering into the future and predicting major world events.

The machine apparently sensed the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Centre four hours before they happened - but in the fevered mood of conspiracy theories of the time, the claims were swiftly knocked back by sceptics. But last December, it also appeared to forewarn of the Asian tsunami just before the deep sea earthquake that precipitated the epic tragedy.

Now, even the doubters are acknowledging that here is a small box with apparently inexplicable powers.

God Wants You To Live

2005-02-02T11:56:00.000-05:00

Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

If you believe in God, and you believe that the Bible is the word of God, then you believe that you are created in his image.

You owe it to him to preserve that image. God has never died. He has this eternal image that he doesn't like to tarnish. Uphold the image of an eternal living God. Don't die, it makes God look bad.

Ben Franklin Active Dead Guy

2005-02-02T11:19:00.000-05:00

1758 Ben Franklin states "It would be thought a hard Government that should tax its People one tenth Part of their Time, to be employed in its Service. But Idleness taxes many of us much more, if we reckon all that is spent in absolute Sloth, or doing of nothing, with that which is spent in idle Employments or Amusements, that amount to nothing. Sloth, by bringing on Diseases, absolutely shortens Life."

He also was quoted as saying "Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy wealthy and wise."

History shows that Mr. Franklin died in 1790 at at the childs age of 84. Perhaps if Mr. Franklin spent a little less time waking up at dawn, chasing the wealth, and running around with kites, and more time working on his slothfulness he'd still be here today.

Franklin, you forefather, with all your wisdom, why didn't you realize that dying is wrong.

Body of Christ

2005-01-14T16:34:00.000-05:00

Here is the dilemma. Jesus is dead. But according to this next passage taken directly from THE Bible those who eat the flesh of Jesus and drink his blood will live forever. Read if for yourself.

"The bread of God is that which comes down from heaven and gives life to the world ... I am the bread of life... This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh ... Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life...This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like that which your ancestors ate, and they died. But the one who eats this bread will live forever."

I know what some of you are thinking. Communion wafers would work. Maybe, but I don't think that's the kind of eternal life those provide. The actual flesh of Jesus is required for this one.

You see it's common knowledge in certain circles that Jesus is in everyone and we are all part of the Body of Christ.

Vampires drink blood for a reason.

Zombies eat flesh for the same a reason.

As discussed, killing is wrong. And nobody wants to live forever in prison. So how can we eat the flesh and drink the blood without sacrificing human life?

How about chowing down on some laboratory grown immortal human skin cells for a start.

Wash that down with a little mass produced lab blood and you're all set.

Whatever you do, don't die.

Human Photosynthesis - back to our origins?

Human Photosynthesis - back to our origins?

Learn from Hira Ratan Manek the man who stopped eating solid food and is able to fast for over 400 days by using the power of the sun.

"This is an ancient practice based on logic and modern biological science that relys on water and sunlight for energy. This is really photosynthesis taking place in the human body."

"Light needs to be thrown on the eyes to energize the brain, if you want permanency."

"You must start slowly with 10 seconds and work up to, say, 15 minutes a day, but only within the first hour after sunrise or before sunset. For children you limit it to 5 minutes. You don’t have to give up food, just reduce the quantities. And the best health drink is solarized water – leave it in the sun in glass jars. It is even better if you put gemstones in it.

If you do this for six months you get physical health. If you go for nine months, then you get spiritual health also. It is your choice."

"I have a group where the people are getting cured from depression, Alzheimers, Parkinsons - all those things. I had a gentleman who was in a wheelchair. He took only sunbaths for one year and now he is totally OK. Medical science has said that neurons do not regenerate, but they do; and when they regenerate your aging process slows down, your life span increases, also memory and intelligence become superb.

Your body has auto-repair and auto-healing abilities. If your mind thinks that you are improving, you do, but we are negative towards ourselves."

Important skills to learn if you are going to survive through the hard times in future centuries.

Holiday Suicide Myth

2004-12-13T11:49:00.000-05:00

The news media doesn't want you to live forever. In fact, they want you dead. Don't fall prey to their traps. Dying is wrong. Live forever.

Article
By: Willow Lawson
Summary: A higher rate of suicide during the holidays is a media myth.

The idea that more people kill themselves around the winter holidays is a myth that the media have little interest in correcting, according to a study from the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania. In an analysis of newspaper articles about suicide between Thanksgiving and Christmas in 1999, researchers found nearly half of them associated suicide with the winter holidays, despite receiving press releases warning journalists that such associations don’t seem to be warranted. Suicides drop during the winter months, according to the National Center for Health Statistics, and they usually peak during the spring months. Researchers caution that the flurry of articles on holiday suicides could actually inspire “copycat” suicides. Exposure to suicide methods may encourage vulnerable individuals to imitate them, the study warns.

The Power of Christ Compels You

2004-10-19T14:14:00.000-04:00

An asian lady come to the house yesterday. She was a Jehova's Witness on a mission to convert me. I spoke to her for about a half an hour. I started getting tired of standing there in the doorway holding my dog under one arm so I invited her in. She was afraid. Her friends would be looking for her. Now what sort of a person tries to convert you, yet in the back of their mind believes that you will murder or torture them.

For some reasion I now keep repeating the words "The Power of Christ Compels You" are in my head. I think that is from the Exorcist. These human brains are just so complicated. You never know what they'll come up with next.

Learn how Scientology leader L. Ron Hubbard lives beyond death. Not exactly what we're working at, but still an interesting read.

L. Ron Hubbard

"Thus, at 2000 hours, Friday 24 January 1986, L. Ron Hubbard discarded the body he had used in this lifetime for seventy-four years, ten months and eleven days. The body he had used to facilitate his existence in this universe had ceased to be useful and in fact had become an impediment to the work he now must do outside its confines. The being we knew as L. Ron Hubbard still exists. Although you may feel grief, understand that he did not, and does not now. He has simply moved on to his next step."

How to Live Forever: Pushing Limits of the Human Life Span

How to Live Forever: Pushing Limits of the Human Life Span: "

By GINA KOLATA
LOS ANGELES March 9, 1999 -- They were a small group of eminent academic scientists who had their reputations to think of. They were repelled by what they saw as the hucksterism and charlatanism that had given attempts to delay human aging a bad name.

And yet, at a recent meeting here, most agreed that science might be on the brink of being able to stretch the human life span, perhaps significantly.

Scientists have had astonishing success in recent years in increasing the life spans of laboratory species like worms and fruit flies. The time was ripe to review these discoveries and discuss what might lie ahead, said Dr. Gregory Stock, the conference organizer, who is director of the program on medicine, technology and science at the University of California School of Medicine at Los Angeles. 'Given adequate funding, given lucky breaks, how far could we go?' Stock asked.

After designing long-lived worms and flies, experts turn to people.

Ten scientists attended the two-day meeting. Future generations, they said, may be able to avail themselves of scientifically established techniques to stretch the human life span like a piece of taffy until it reaches 150, even 200 years."

Society Demands Death

2004-09-01T10:31:00.000-04:00

Society teaches us from a young age that we will get old and then die. Death is portrayed as an inevitable fact of life. The truth is death exists outside of life. Death is a concept just like marriage or religion. As a whole society created and accepted various religions to keep people in line. It was believed that without religion everyone would constantly be committing evil acts. Marriage was created and accepted in order to keep the various religions populated and alive.

Death was created by society to eliminate overcrowding. It is a human construct that like marriage and religion can be rejected without consenquence. Single people, and atheists are prime candidates for the rejection of death. These open minded individuals have already rejected many of society's conventions. They are usually quick to realize that dying is in fact wrong and that society is once again trying to shackle them with ideas that simply don't fit their lifestyle.

Cliff has an intersting theory. If the concept of infinity does exist then we exist forever within all things infinite.

We are in the Digits of Pi and Live Forever:

"Somewhere inside the digits of pi is a representation for all of us -- the atomic coordinates of all our atoms, our genetic code, all our thoughts, all our memories. Given this fact, all of us are alive, and hopefully happy, in pi. Pi makes us live forever. We all lead virtual lives in pi. We are immortal."

Stand UP and LIVE

2004-08-30T11:28:00.000-04:00

From Delillo's White Noise

""I believe, Jack, there are two kinds of people in the world. Killers and diers. Most of us are diers. We don't have the disposition, the rage or whatever it takes to be a killer. We let death happen. We lie down and die. But think what it's like to be a killer. Think how exciting it is, in theory, to kill a person in direct confrontation. If he dies, you cannot. To kill him is to gain life credit. The more people you kill, the more credit you store up. It explains any number of massacres, wars, executions."

We can learn something from Delillo's character Murray Jay Siskind. However I must first say this, killing people WILL NOT help you live forever. Causing others to die is wrong. You will get caught and then live forever in jail.

He is right about a few things though. "Most of us are diers." Yes most of us are diers. Over 90% of living people are diers. Just look in the obituaries. They are dropping like flies. The problem is just as Delillo says "We let death happen. We lie down and die."

Well no more. From now on we will not lay down and die. We will not let death happen. We will "Stand Up and LIVE"

And yes, you must be a killer. You must kill death. To quote Delillo again "If he dies, you cannot. To kill him is to gain life credit."

It's true. If death dies, you cannot. That is one of our goals. We will kill death so that we cannot die.

Dying is wrong.

Yes dying is wrong, live forever. If you were meant to die, you would have been born dead. But you weren't born dead, you're alive and you are going to stay that way. Dying is wrong. Only the weak minded die; the strong live forever.

People get old and die because they get tired of living. They feel out of place in the world. Left behind. They want to die and they do. The key to living forever is held within the human mind. You have to WANT to live. Be on the cutting edge of life.

Our biblical forefathers lived for hundreds of years, but we won't stop there. That's right. With advances in human intellifence life can last forever and it WILL!!
