Baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more.

Baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more.

I was waiting for someone to post that!

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

A woodchuck would chuck as much wood as a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood.

 

[Zack]

Well obviously, but I am looking for the specific amount of wood the woodchuck could chuck if woodchucks could chuck wood.

 

[Flying Pig]

2x^2/3n, where x is the amount of insaniy in the question and n is the number of normal people who look at this and think 'What?'

 

[cardgame]

All guns but homemade ones have rifled barrels.

 

[Flying Pig]

And railguns, I presume

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

Why do people post stupid questions in these threads?

 

[Zack]

Because good questions are worth their own thread.

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

What they mean by "not worth their own thread" is that they can be answered in one or a few posts, and do not need to be discussed. The one asking the question just wants an answer. Spam questions are questions-that-should-not-be-posted-in-any-thread-whatsoever.

Would I be out of line if I asked what the..? is wrong with this person?

Atlantis was a continent in the Atlantic Ocean and connected to 12 other colonies that formed a perfect GRID around the Earth. We know this now because of the long-awaited, (by a handful of people) new discovery in Canada. Precisely where a map of Atlantis from 1974 predicted SOMETHING would be found, something HAS been found by Google Earth. Here are the coordinates of a Nazca-like (image) INDIAN seen from high in the air: 50 degrees 0'38.20" N
110 degrees 6'48.32" W.

Use Google Earth yourself to zoom down on the area and take your own photos! At the end of the article are more downloaded pictures of the Canadian terrain that appears as an INDIAN. After examining details of the image, the conclusions are obvious. The copper colored hills, like an Indian Head penny, were shaped and not natural formations. What is an Indian doing in Canada?

THE INDIAN IN THE MOUNTAINS IS THE FIRST EVIDENCE OF PREHISTORIC CANADIANS!

There are no pyramids, monoliths, stone circles, petroglyphs, mounds or ancient burials in Canada. But, there SHOULD be evidence of early Indians in the vast northern country. If Indians walked to the Americas from Asia over a land-bridge at the Bering Strait, why is there no trace of prehistoric ruins of any kind in Canada? This mystery is huge and ignored by archeologists and educators. The Indian-absence means their entire picture of the past is wrong and backwards! Thor Heyerdaul did not prove Indians arrived by boat. His better built, second attempt at proving an obsolete misconception sank with the Ra II.

The farther back we go in time, the MORE advanced technically (and mentally) were the Indian civilizations. We know this by 'reading' or studying the physical stonework, what ruins they left behind. The Anastasi, Hopi and Cahokia Mound-Builders were more advanced than the later Indians of the Old West. The Aztec Stone-Builders were more advanced than the great earth-movers, the Anastasi/Cahokians. The Maya were superior to the Aztec. The Toltec Age came before the Maya and they were greater than the Maya. Toltecs' ancestors were the Inca; they built impossible stonework on top of the Andes Mountains! Incas farmed on mountaintops many thousands of years ago where no one can live today. The Pre-Inca constructed stonework 'impossible' by present-day standards. They had no hieroglyphs because of the unbelievable reason that the PRE-INCA HAD NO NEED for a written or spoken language! (psychic-society) The same can be said for the Pre-Egyptians an ocean away. They were the survivors of, yet another, superior and previous Age...the Age of Atlantis.

THE INDIANS CAME TO THE AMERICAS BY AIR!

WTH? That is possibly the most insane thing I have ever seen. I hope no one seriously believes that...

AND frankly, it's insulting to Indians. I'm sick of this nonsense that degrades the people it's trying to sort of glorify. This ignorance is as bad as any "Cowboys vs. Indians" Western. LEARN YOUR HISTORY! I mean really? Something as simple as Toltecs =/= Incas, the spelling of "Anasazi," etc. This is pathetic and makes me teh angryx0rx.

AND Tiwanaku was built by the, well, TIWANAKU! NOT THE INCAS! AND IT IS EXTREMELY POSSIBLE!

Stop trying to say that "Aliens did it" or "Europeans did it" because that is as bad as "God did it" or "It didn't happen."

AND WTH about the telepathy. The Tiwanaku were certainly not telepathic. They were people, just like you and me. This is just sickening.

AND if Atlantis is so advanced, why is there ABSOLUTELY NOT ONE SINGLE ARTIFACT FROM IT. Not one pot shard, nothing. Geez.

Sorry to rant, but I hate this type of thing. I mean, it's like with 1421. The Polynesians were people too, they were not primitive ape-men who couldn't have sailed. They had watercraft 40000 years before Zheng He was born, I think they can get to frikking New Zealand.

Actually, I'm sort of wondering about the whole forum where that, and this are being discussed:

Hollow Earth Cities


Recently, America watched Stephen Spielberg's TV pilot, a remake of Verne' s "Journey to the Center of the Earth." A maverick team of scientists aboard their melt-proof ship enter the inner Earth through a bubbling volcano. When things cool off, they find themselves exploring a vast and sunny inner landscape . . . a magical and inviting world with ample room to fly. Their adventure resembles the real life account of a Norwegian sailor named Olaf Jansen. His story, set in the 1800s, is told in Willis Emerson's biography entitled "The Smoky God." Olaf's little sloop drifted so far north by storm that he actually sailed into a polar entrance and lived for two years with one of the colonies of the Agartha Network, called "Shamballa the Lesser." He describes his hosts as those "of the central seat of government for the inner continent . . . measuring a full 12 feet in height . . . extending courtesies and showing kindness . . .laughing heartily when they had to improvise chairs for my father and I to sit in." Olaf tells of a "smoky" inner sun, a world comprised of three-fourths land and one-fourth water.

The Agartha Network
Think of Shamballa the Lesser as the United Nations of over 100 subterranean cities that form the Agartha Network. It is, indeed, the seat of government for the inner world. While Shamballa the Lesser is an inner continent, its satellite colonies are smaller enclosed ecosystems located just beneath the Earth' s crust or discreetly within mountains. All cities in the Agartha Network are physical and are of the Light, meaning that they are tradition of the great mystery schools of the surface, honoring such beings as Jesus/Sananda, Buddha, Isis and Osiris . . . all of the Ascended Masters that we of the surface know and love, in addition to spiritual teachers of their own long-standing heritage. Why did they choose to live underground? Consider the magnitude of the geological Earth changes that have swept the surface over the past 100,000 years. Consider the lengthy Atlantean-Lemurian war and the power of thermonuclear weaponry that eventually sank and destroyed these two highly advanced civilizations. The Sahara, the Gobi, the Australian Outback and the deserts of the U.S . are but a few examples of the devastation that resulted. The sub-cities were created as refuges for the people and as safe havens for sacred records, teachings and technologies that were cherished by these ancient cultures. http://www.2012unlimited.net/HollowEarthCities.html
