Deep Thoughts....

[RCMerchant]

How can the old buildings like that of Puma Punku, the Great Pyramids, Machu Picchu, Easter Island-how these things-magnificent things-can be that old and that precise? How they were built? I've heard all sorts of theories. But no one will ever know.

rc- maybe its different where you are, but here in Boston the bike lanes are full of rich white guys dressed like they are inthe tour de france who glare at motorists for no reason. and write b***hy letters to the editor to the Boston Globe wanting more laws and more police everywhere for their hobby

I know what kind of people your talking about. When I lived on Long Island- I had to go threw the Hamptons to get to my job on the docks, loading ice onto the fishing boats. Plastic people.
I just don't understand the civil rights, Sandanista connection.

They're rich pricks like Donald Trump. Ignore them.

...we can ignore even pleasure, but pain persists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: it is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world. (A deep thought from C.S. Lewis.)

.....some things that must suck include being too tired to sleep, gaining weight but staying flat-chested, and being a globe-maker if the day ever comes they prove the planet is flat.

I'm guessing these are the same type of cyclists who thinks that road laws only applies to both motorists and pedestrians. those people needs a slap to the face from a pedestrian.

Ah, take heart, the outfits those men wear are so tight at least they'll never reproduce.

Rc a lot of these stories are. Simply lies.  Puma punku was lied about.  The so called extremely hard stone that was  'impossible'  is actually fairly soft and easily cut.. The. Statues. On Easter island could be made by. Primitive people and moved,  it's been done by. Modern. People using primitive tools and techniques.

Also the people of Easter island destroyed their island's ecology making those religious statues and died out as a result.

Who said they were lies? The huge stones at Puma Punku are 1000 of years old and still retain very precise lines. Many are exactly the same as the other. Plus they are f**king huge...on top of a mountain. And thrown about like a kid's Legos.

misfit, ER - they are basicallly the opposite of bikers. Bikers are outlaws riding around selling drugs or whatever it is they do. cyclists have high paying jobs, live in gentrified formerly cool neighborhoods and want more laws. Where did we go wrong? as a nation

Check out a video by David MacAulay entitled PYRAMID.  Very cool stuff on how they were built!

In the spirit of Yom Kippur I say we go with tradition and just blame the Jews for this, too. Sound like a fix?

Sigh. Ok, jokes about priests and boys are not making fun of what they do to children. Tjey're about slamming the church for it's reaction to what their clergy were doing.

So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
