If the aliens were advanced enough to get here, why not just give us decent technology straight off? What's with all this mucking around with stones? We could have had food processors millennia ago ffs!!
But where would we have plugged them in?
Those aliens knew how to generate electricity. They were clearly holding back the good stuff.

Oh yeah, I hugged your lack of pretty underwear too @nutmegoreo. You know I think that is tragic.4

Oh no, I'm disappointed FOR you, not in you. Sympathy hugs.1 -

Wait wait wait. I hooked you up with amazing bras this year! Don't be playing that sympathy card!3 -
I feel like there must be some way we can tie poor old departed Jack into this new and exciting derailment. Perhaps the aliens gave him the info he needed to be strong and fit. And the blueprints to build his magical juicing machine! I'm glad the ancient alien guy's picture made it into this thread, I've always wondered how he manages a tin foil hat with that hair. :huh:11

I'm not sure this is the thread I want to be remembered for for 2017!4 -
I was married to two archaeologists (not at the same time) and they never had any fancy underwear- or maybe I just didn't know about it. Feeling let down...7

Every time I'm certain I've seen it all...
Yup. I think this is the winner of them all.
I just don't know what else to say. I'm rarely left speechless, so it's clearly impressive. This is full on tinfoil suit of armor.
I'm trying to formulate a response to how I feel about the audacity of questioning Nony's credentials and experience in the face of the "evidence" presented, and I just can't put an actual archaeologist up against this kittenpoo in any coherent way.
I'm so stunned at my credentials being questioned by someone who always plays his 'terminal degree' (never used) card that even I can't come up with a response.
But of course, it's a giant global conspiracy to suppress the truth. We all had to sign on to it at university if we wanted to continue in archaeology
Since your credentials haven't seen questioned in this thread are you willing to answer my two simple nonthreating questions?
Your questions are irrelevant. I do not need to have ever talked to the crackpot to know that he was a crackpot and his theories have no merit.
Where I've worked is also irrelevant, because that does not negate my ability to assess evidence, or lack thereof.
People like you who believe this garbage are by definition questioning both my ability as an archaeologist, and my personal and professional integrity, along with that of every other professional archaeologist.
Thanks

Shhhhh. That was supposed to be our secret. Now if only airfare was lower, I could justify flying to save the money on bras.1 -

You never watched the documentary Mars Attacks? Powerful, compelling stuff.

Now I am IIFYM kind of guy, so naturally I am not following Jack Lalanne's advice (I do eat unprocessed foods at times), but I feel it would be harsh criticizing him either. I mean he came from an era where mfp didn't exist. It was hard to track calories than it is today. So I get it why he said those things, with limited tools, he decided to play safe and advised people to stay away from them. I do understand also his point of kind of eating unprocessed foods and his diet meal plan was plain and simple. Honestly, I can't *kitten* on his advice, because it's still some good advice he gave for the time he was living in and I feel it's harsh criticizing him now with the knowledge we have nowadays. He made lifting cool at a time that it wasn't. So although I don't live the lifestyle he suggests, overall, I think he did more good than bad when it comes to health and fitness. Not saying he was always right, but you gotta give him credit, he lived healthy up to 96 years old and his wife is still alive if I am not mistaken, so maybe he was on to something.
Keep reading man, keep reading.2 -

I don't need to read, it's not like I will change my ways based on what Lalanne did or didn't do. He believed in something, he did what he had to do, wether he was right or wrong, I couldn't care less, my lifestyle is not based around his teachings. So in the end, it doesn't matter. I just respect what he did while he was alive, not necessarily agreeing with everything he has said when it comes to fitness and nutrition. But between him and the fake natty's out there, I prefer giving Lalanne some props.
I think she's encouraging you to get to the bit about aliens. And no, I'm not joking.2 -
