I have read about it before and think there's a band with this name. Yesterday I got levels 1,2 & 3 of Rosetta Stone language software. http://www.rosettastone.com/ Can't wait to get started. I'm waiting a week or two till I get my new Dell laptop though. It's like Christmas in August. Yay. I'm gonna hook the laptop up to the 47" flat tv and have Tribe all massive on the screen. And the Spanish learning tools. Se Habla Espanol?"

Funny ( not ) how this is a Scientology thing. Reminds me of their C.C.H.R. affiliate. I had my own personal experience with them. The sad thing is that CCHR does some very legitimate work. Yet because of their Scientologist affiliation it makes most of what they do null and void. Not totally. They present alot of important info. Take it where you can get it right? But it's disgraceful how they use this / these orgs for "nefarious" purposes. If you don't know what I'm referring to and are actually interested, the truth is out there. I will discuss way more than I should. But if you want in the thick of it don't waste your time interrogating me. Is that "clear?"

How do you contact the edit overlords at Wikipedia?

SistaWeotch — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 22:13:13 GMT

I really frickin' hate it when someone accuses me of something I didn't do. Especially if it has to do with one of my favorite subjects.

I posted an external link on the Stromboli page to the hiking company that leads people *legally* up to the side of Stromboli. Hiking is open to any and all below the 400 m line, but above that you need a guide. Some smug schmuck deleted my link and sent me a "do not spam" message. I understand that there must be some staff to keep Wikipedia as spam-free as it has been thus far, but I would think that a crack team of anti-spam crusaders would not be such a**hats.

Gods this pisses me off.

. . .

Finally got my email address confirmed with them and was able to send a message to a**hat in question. We'll see what he says.

Thank you for letting me vent.

Cordially,

The Term: Quantum Mysticism

blackegg — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 23:17:17 GMT

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_metaphysics

"Quantum mysticism refers to the practice of selectively borrowing ideas from quantum physics to support New Age and pseudoscientific beliefs, or to draw metaphorical similarites between principles in quantum physics and principles in Eastern mysticism.[1] The term is used pejoratively by skeptical scientists to discount the idea that quantum theory supports mystical beliefs.

Critics such as science fiction writer Greg Egan and commentator Margaret Wertheim, along with many scientists, have opined that quantum physics is being hijacked by people with little understanding of the underlying concepts, and whose claims lack the intellectual rigour intrinsic to scientific inquiry.[2][3][4][5][6]"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacteriophage

Phage therapy

Main article: Phage therapy

Phages were discovered to be anti-bacterial agents and put to use as such soon after they were discovered, with varying success. However, antibiotics were discovered some years later and marketed widely, popular because of their broad spectrum; also easier to manufacture in bulk, store and prescribe. Hence development of phage therapy was largely abandoned in the West, but continued throughout 1940s in the former Soviet Union for treating bacterial infections, with widespread use including the soldiers in the Red Army - much of the literature being in Russian or Georgian, and unavailable for many years in the West. This has continued after the war, with widespread use continuing in Georgia and elsewhere in Eastern Europe. There is anecdotal evidence there, but no completed clinical trials in the US or Western Europe.

Psychosis

Not a Rocky alt — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 00:02:33 GMT

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychotic

Psychosis is a generic psychiatric term for a mental state often described as involving a "loss of contact with reality." People suffering from it are said to be psychotic.

People experiencing psychosis may report hallucinations or delusional beliefs, and may exhibit personality changes and disorganized thinking. This may be accompanied by unusual or bizarre behaviour, as well as difficulty with social interaction and impairment in carrying out the activities of daily living.

A wide variety of central nervous system diseases, from both external toxins, and from internal physiologic illness, can produce symptoms of psychosis. This has led to the metaphor of psychosis as the 'fever' of CNS illness—a serious but nonspecific indicator.[1][2]

However, many people have unusual and distinct (unshared) experiences of different realities at some point in their lives, without being impaired or even distressed by these experiences. For example, many people have experienced visions of some kind, and some have even found inspiration or religious revelation in them.[3] As a result, it has been argued that psychosis is not fundamentally separate from normal consciousness, but rather, is on a continuum with normal consciousness.[4] In this view, people who are clinically found to be psychotic may simply be having particularly intense or distressing experiences (see schizotypy).

In contemporary culture, the term "psychotic" is often incorrectly used interchangeably with "psychopathic."

Ian Fleming

sparkle7 — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 05:29:39 GMT

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Fleming

He also conceived of a plan to use British occultist Aleister Crowley to trick Rudolf Hess into attempting to contact a fake cell of anti-Churchill Englishmen in Britain, but this plan was not used because Rudolf Hess had flown to Scotland in an attempt to broker peace behind Hitler's back. Anthony Masters's book The Man Who Was M: The Life of Charles Henry Maxwell Knight asserts Fleming conceived the plan that lured Hess into flying to Scotland, in May 1941, to negotiate Anglo–German peace with Churchill, and resulted in Hess's capture: this claim has no other source.[5]

NETICULUM: an investigation into the political ramifications of web 2.0

renee — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 20:41:31 GMT

greetings friendly beings!

i am currently in the middle of researching and writing my senior thesis, which is about the rise of web 2.0 technology and its implications for the role of the media in a democracy.

i've started a blog to document the process behind my research, both for my own organizational benefit as well as to create a forum for discussion about the subjects i am studying. i would be honored if you took the time to look over some of my work and give me your thoughts, feedback, criticism, and ideas.

you can access the blog at: freereverie.org/neticulum

feel free to leave comments on the blog itself, or email me at la.loquita.curiosa@gmail.com
and if you know anybody else who might be interested in my research, please forward this information to them!

one of the main arguments of my thesis is that web 2.0 modules, including blogs, create new avenues for discussion and collaboration, democratizing intellectual debate and thus enhancing the mechanism of public reasoning. your feedback, and the new ideas illuminated by our ensuing dialectic, are the manifestations of this process. help me take my hypotheses for reality!

The current issue of the Palm Springs DDG mentioned this guy. It listed a bunch of gay athletes in the 20th Century. This guy was the first on the list. It says in 1920 "Bill Tilden, who does not hide his homosexuality, wins the men's singles title at Wimbledon. He goes on to win two more Wimbledon titles, seven U.S. championships, and leads U.S. teams to seven Davis Cup victories. In 1950, a survey of sportswriters names Tilden the greatest tennis player of the half-century. He dies in 1953."

The Heimlich Maneuver and choking

Will Beat Hippie Raver — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 21:35:20 GMT

Two timwa in my lifwe--fortunately at public places--I choked and someone nearby knew how to do the Heimlich! Twenty years ago it was a burrito that I snarfed too fast and my best friend took me out on the street in front of the taqueria and forced a golf-ball size bolus out of my throat. Then, earlier today, eating a luncheon sandwich too fast, it happened again, and my waitperson applied several Heimlichs until I could swallow and breathe again....It's easy to learn this maneuver and you should consider learning it!

It's listed on the ingredients of "Go Girl" energy drinks and several other products. I thought it would be interesting to Google it or look on Wikipedia and see what comes up. I wonder what they've left out. Probably just as much as they leave off the aspartame and flouride entries. Hmm.

ewwww COOTIES

kubbie — Mon, 19 May 2008 05:06:02 GMT

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooties

Cooties is a word in North American English, used by children, referring to a fictitious disease or condition, often infecting members of the opposite sex.[ One catches cooties through any form of bodily contact, close proximity, contact with an infected person's possessions, or third-party transmission. In prepubescent children, it serves as a device for enforcing separation of the sexes.

Etymology

The adoption of the term into English traces back to the American occupation of the Philippines, in 1898-1945, and before that to British soldiers' presence in Malaysia. In most Austronesian languages (e.g. Malaysian and many Philippine languages such as Tagalog included) the term for head lice, lice or fleas of any kind, etc., is "kuto"; foreign troops had ample opportunity to become familiar with the term and made a slang pluralized form ("cooties") of "kuto." How the term subsequently entered the vocabulary of grade school children is unknown.

From its original meaning of head or body lice, the term evolved into a purely imaginary stand-in for anything that is considered repulsive. In British English the term lurgy may be used in the same context. However, lurgy has a broader definition and the two concepts are not equivalent. In Great Britain the term mange in some places serves a similar purpose, broadly being a contactable virus that passes through touch or association with an 'infected' person. There are no actual symptoms of "mange" or outwardly visible signs. In south Wales the term scabs is used. In northern Europe, "cooties" exists but only suggests that the "disease" is found in girls. In Sweden the phenomenon is called "tjejbaciller" (literally "girl bacillus") and in Denmark it is known as "pigelus" (literally "girl lice").

The Cootie Catcher

Made of folded paper, the "cootie catcher" is one name for a popular hand held toy among school children. One surface is blank, the other drawn with dots. The joke is to show the blank side, then run the toy through someone's hair, revealing the dotted surface. It is made so each surface looks the same apart from the "cooties". The toy is also also called a "fortune teller" and used in play to tell fortunes.

The "cooties shot"

Children sometimes "immunize" each other from cooties by administering a "cootie shot." One child typically administers the "shot" by reciting the rhyme "circle, circle / dot, dot / now you've got the cootie shot" while using an index finger to trace the circles and dots on another child's forearm. Yet another variation of the cootie shot is "circle, circle / square, square / now you have it everywhere," in which a child expecting an immunization is connived by a friend into being infected with cooties throughout his or her body. A final shot is said "circle, circle/ knife, knife / now you've got it all your life" while using their index finger to draw vertical lines on the other child's forearm. Sometimes a "cooties shot" is actually just a punch to the upper arm which "cures" the punched one from the "disease".

Cooties in popular culture

As with any cultural convention, or fondly remembered concept from childhood, cooties are often referenced in movies, music, on television, in novels and on the Internet. References range from physical manifestation as fantastical creatures to more realistic portrayal as a cultural convention and to the traditional interpretation as lice.

As spoof of a sexually transmitted disease

"Cooties" is an spoof created by the Peoples Improv Theater that follows closely the style of a public service announcement intended to raise awareness about sexually transmitted diseases. The popular video was created by the Viral Video class at the Peoples Improv Theater taught by James Murray. The sketch has generated over a million plays on YouTube, and won the "Best Comedy Video of 2007" on Yahoo. "Cooties" was produced and directed by James Murray and written by Ryan Harrison.

Television

Cooties have been referred to in a number of episodes of The Simpsons. In one episode ("Homer: Bad Man") Bart claims they come from "a girl's butt" and in "The Wandering Juvie" Bart is told by Gina that there is no such thing as cooties (as well as a variety of fake "cootie-repelling" type items such as cootie insurance, which Bart appears to have bought). In another episode, "Tennis the Menace", Homer asks a Cootie Catcher "Do I have cooties?" He then opens a tab and reads "No." followed by "Wow this home testing kit has saved me a fortune!" There is also an episode in The Simpsons where Bart gives Milhouse his cootie shot by punching him.

Cooties is also mentioned in a Friends episode, during season 5, when Joey referred to Rachel as having the cooties because Ross was selling all of his belongings which Rachel may have touched or come in contact with.

Cooties feature in the 1990s television series Dexter's Laboratory, as small, girly insects with curly snouts that inhabit the bedroom of Dexter's older sister, Dee Dee.

In one of the episodes of Codename: Kids Next Door, where the KND scientists believed that their underwater science lab is quarantined because of cooties.
In the Bobby's World episode "Cooties", kids start avoiding Bobby, believing he contracted cooties when he was kissed by Jackie.

On an episode of the Cartoon Network program Cow & Chicken, Chicken was kissed by a girl named Whiney. This leads everybody to believe that Chicken has a particularly lethal strain of cooties known as "Whiney Cooties". Symptoms included his beak falling down, his butt dissolving, his eyeballs popping out of his head, and his beak shriveling.

In one episode of the Cartoon Network program The Powerpuff Girls, cooties were featured prominently, since at first, they are the main weakness of the Rowdyruff Boys, as they explode when the Girls kiss them in order to defeat them. However, later on, when he resurrects them, they are given anti-cootie vaccinations to make them immune to the Girls' kisses.

The MTV2 show Wonder Showzen featured an episode called "health" where a character called Wordsworth comes down with a case of the cooties; his friend Him uses it to his advantage and sells Wordsworth's encrusted cootie sores as snack treats.
One of the supposed cures "Circle Circle Dot Dot" is a song by Jamie Kennedy and Stu Stone that was featured on their MTV show Blowin' Up. The song references cooties.

Movies

In the 1994 Hollywood hit, Pulp Fiction, cooties are mentioned in the context of sharing a drinking straw.

In the 2006 movie, ATL, cooties are also mentioned when sharing a can of coke.

Irwin catches cooties and mono from kissing Mandy in Billy and Mandy's Big Boogey Adventure.

In the movie Grease cooties are mentioned when Jan passes the bottle of wine to Sandy.

In the 2007 movie Hairspray the song called Cooties is performed in the credits by Aimee Allen.

In the 2008 movie Speed Racer Spritle, Speed's kid brother, says "cootie shot" after seeing Trixie and Speed about to kiss.

Calvin, of the Calvin and Hobbes comic strip, does not seem to worry about catching cooties from close contact with individuals. However, he fears that he will catch them when he is the only boy on a playground full of girls. Apparently, he believes that they are received from airborne transmission, as he begins breathing through his shirt and shouting "Air filter! Air filter!” In the same strip, Susie Derkins, one of the secondary characters who Calvin is with at the time, assures him that "Stupidity produces antibodies." Cooties are also mentioned when Hobbes is explaining that being in love means that when you see the object of your affection; your heart crushes your innards, makes you sweat, shorts the circuits to the brain and makes you babble like a cretin. As Calvin hears this, he says that happened to him once, but that he thought that it was the cooties.

Cooties are mentioned as lice in a child's hair in To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee.

Music

"Cooties" was also one of the competitive song and dance numbers in the Broadway Musical, Hairspray. It was sung by Amber announcing that her rival Tracy Turnblad has cooties. The song incorporates "Circle, Circle, Dot, Dot, Dot" as a dance move. In the motion picture, the song is sung by jazz vocalist Aimee Allen in the background of the dance-off in one of the final scenes, and is not sung by the character Amber.
