    Recycling human waste into food or other will be a thing of the future. Especially in space. It makes me think of the book, Ender's Game.

    Hunter-gatherers made these handprints about 9000 years ago in "Hands Cave" in Argentina. Its almost as if they are trying to reach to us from the past, almost.. Each with their own personality, dreams, hopes.. Nobody knows what it means really but I thought it was cool.

    Cool :smiley: Looks like they're almost all left hands too

    Not really. It does prove that their paint brush was in the dominant hand. Some in their right and some in their left.

    Not really what?

    think he thought you said "they are left handed", whilst you said those are all left hands. Small confusion only :smile:

    zippers became fashionable as a closure device for men's flys in 1937. Since then they have been zipped and unzipped trillions of times....

    Don't know if I should be less afraid of sharks, or more afraid of spoons

    Bet if you used more sharks as spoons, that number would go way up :-)

    If banks made 6 billion dollars from overdraft fees last year, then banks made 6 billion off of people who don't have money.

    They seriously must have been on some hard drugs when they came up with these constellations.
    From wikipedia - "serpent-bearer", and it is commonly represented as a man grasping the snake that is represented by the constellation Serpens.

    The origin of the word Gung ho; which means, extremely or overly zealous or enthusiastic is actually a motto (interpreted as meaning “work together”) adopted by certain U.S. marines, from Chinese (Beijing) gōnghé, short for Zhōngguó Gōngyè Hézuò Shè Chinese Industrial Cooperative Society.
