have you heard this poem/do you like it?
okay first of all I DID NOT WRITE this poem. It is called the rainbow bridge or something and i think it is the sweetest most adorable poem on the planet. It makes me cry every time :) I hopw you like it as much as i do! please comment!

By the edge of a woods, at the foot of a hill,

Is a lush, green meadow where time stands still.

Where the friends of man and woman do run,

When their time on earth is over and done.

For here, between this world and the next,

Is a place where each beloved creature finds rest.

On this golden land, they wait and they play,

Till the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day.

No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness,

For here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness.

Their limbs are restored, their health renewed,

Their bodies have healed, with strength imbued.

They romp through the grass, without even a care,

Until one day they start, and sniff at the air.

All ears prick forward, eyes dart front and back,

Then all of a sudden, one breaks from the pack.

For just at that instant, their eyes have met;

Together again, both person and pet.

So they run to each other, these friends from long past,

The time of their parting is over at last.

The sadness they felt while they were apart,

Has turned into joy once more in each heart.

They embrace with a love that will last forever,

And then, side-by-side, they cross over

Wondering how many snake owners on Yahoo Answers do live vs. frozen mice/rats?
Both of my ball pythons and my red tailed boa only likes live rats and refuses to eat anything frozen or pre-killed, is it me or the snakes?

What does your snake(s) prefer?


Don’t worry Mr. Lopez, it’s not you. All animals have preferences, even snakes. In general ball pythons will only eat live. Some can get them to eat FT or PK, but not very often. Red-Tails usually eat either way but it seems that yours prefers live. There is nothing wrong with them or you.

My snakes get thwacked (semi-live) rodents. We’ve done frozen prekilled, but we have a few that refuse anything that doesn’t at least twitch a bit…

My baby ball python will only eat live, i tried for a month to feed him frozen/thawed mice. When it comes to food, he response better to heat, he also knows the bag that i bring it in.

All my snakes are fed "Thwacked" rodents as well. We’ve used F/T and P/K before, but proved to be less than convenient, time wise.
Mikel V. | Nov 07, 2009


generally lizards prefer pre-killed, snakes like the live rats better so don’t worry it’s the snakes not you

What do you think about this version of evolution ?
I know this sounds ridiculous but please read it first.

I remember when i was young i read many kinds of comic and one of them is called Astro Boy. An old Japanese comic about human civilization in modern era.

So there is one chapter is special. The story is about how the evolution in earth begin when an alien arrive millions years ago. That alien is interested with earth beautiful landscape and millions of different kind of species.

So he decide to choose 1 of the animals to do his experiment and he choose monkey. He change the monkey body structure to make it able to walk straight then he begin to manipulate the size of that monkey brain and make it smarter. After that he teach that monkey how to start a fire. So the alien is satisfied and leave the planet earth.

The story is not end but i think you maybe not interested with the rest of story so i end it here.
How do you think this version of evolution ?
Is it possible ?


If you look at the Egyptians. Their Gods are always wearing these animal masks and they are said to have taught people agriculture, literature, mummification, engineering, etc… This is also similar with Mayans, and with Indian literature where some weird looking being came down and taught people many things. Our DNA is 95% identical to chimps. You can activate many traits by turning some genes on or off, so that theory is highly plausible, that an alien came down and modified our DNA from Apes.

I hope that evolution will make me read fast.
simon_wat | Feb 07, 2010


humans didn’t evolve from monkeys, we share a common ancestor with monkeys. Your cousin is not your grandfather

anonymous | Feb 07, 2010


I think it’s a comic book version.
lainiebsky | Feb 07, 2010


It’s a common belief among New Agers actually, that aliens did play a role in human evolution. It’s not inherently impossible if we assume there is a loophole in relativity which would get around that pesky speed limit of the speed of light. But there really isn’t any evidence to support it. DNA studies also haven’t really found any evidence of it, and the human genome is pretty similar to Apes. Also if it were the case, it would have been apes, not humans, as humans are more similar to Apes.

BZZZZT.

wrong.
Gentleman Jack | Feb 07, 2010


It seems a bit far-fetched, but hey, who knows?
I am THAT cat. | Feb 07, 2010


Anything is *possible*– you need evidence. Humans probably didn’t have fires at the same time we learned to walk. We don’t directly descend from monkeys either- humans and other primates share a common ancestor.

Maybe you should separate your science from your fiction? Just a litte?
What? | Feb 07, 2010


too far-fetched.

Im a Theistic Evolutionist. and thats junk.
Yes I remember astro boy too.
GAMER | Feb 07, 2010


Silly. Genetic engineering would be fairly obvious now that we have sequenced the whole genome.
Gazoo | Feb 07, 2010


it’s possible, but not at all likely.
Salvador | Feb 07, 2010


the bible was translated from the ancient hebrew, therefor there are many stories allegories and symbology. we know that earth was created during 7 ages or periods of time…all creatures and plants were brought here by our heavenly father and the creator of the earth who was jesus chrsit.

milkweeds51 | Feb 07, 2010


It is possible. You should check out Edgar Cayce’s story of creation. It is similar to the bible’s but makes more sense. I tend to agree with your comic though. We are probably the result of an breeding experiment.
Roger W | Feb 07, 2010


Well that alien would’ve had to be around for a couple million years, because that’s how long it took for humans to evolve from apes.
SSF Tofu Beast | Feb 07, 2010


They idea that there was an intelligent alien before human evolution actually make the whole theory baseless. First point that came in my mind is that from where that alien came? Is that alien evolved?

How long do phone company's keep text message info?
I know that cell phone company’s have to keep a record of each cell phones text messages. Cops, parents, and anyone else can get ahold of these, without reason. I am wondering how long do they keep them/how far back. I’ve had the same number for the past 6 years, and looking to get important info from text messages from 2 years ago.


they keep it forever

what does it mean when i cant cry? (and alot of other things)?
Last June 2009, i had an accident….i committed suicide and was rushed to the hospital. I died 3 mins before i got there and was confirmed dead for about 4-5 or so before i was revived again…since then i wasnt the same…dont feel the same…now its like….i noticed alot of things changed about me… not interested in activities i used to do, but instead i do new things….lost alot of memory….i also noticed after i recovered about 2 weeks later, i couldnt talk properly…it took me at least a month or two to start talking normal again, which is a great success in recovery…. and i noticed im not interested in dating girls much (only wait for the right girl to find me….until then im not interested in any girl unless i know shes the right one)… i keep myself away from people alot (not that they dont like me…i am a "very" popular guy) and i all of a sudden have this obsession with horror movies and darkened fantasy and games (horror) and darkened classical music (silent hill soundtrack, danny elfman music, dark ambient and more)
movies: silent hill, resident evil degeneration, coroline, pans labyrinth etc
games: Silent hill, resident evil etc

i used to enjoy fantasy games, role playing and enjoy movies like action, anime, and so on (according to my friends and family) etc….but now they just completely gone out of my taste….ever since last june…i noticed MAJOR changes in alot things…even my style

can someone tell me why this came to be?…memory loss? changed in alot things? changed in music? and changed in feelings? and changed in how i view life?….i just want your opinion why this came to be…. thanks….

sry for bad grammer. ill fix this up better next time (im just really tired at the moment and i didnt slept for a whole day and a half)


It’s very common for this to happen to someone that has been through all that you have. I’m glad you’re back to being healthy again and as for the other stuff, it may have originated from your accident. Near death experiences can change people in many ways, so its not unordinary that you have a new outloook unlife. You don’t need to be popular and it doesn’t matter what kind of movies or games you like as long as you’re satisfied. It’s not worth it too try and please everyone and the right girl will come.
good luck!

Norah | Dec 05, 2009


It could very well be because of what happened. It could be the after effects of it. But if you can’t cry and generally don’t really even feel any emotion at all, I know what that’s called. It’s called Anhedonia. Took me a while to figure that out for myself but yeah, the thing I noticed was I couldn’t cry and felt numb. It is sometimes a symptom of depression.

Logan’s Run

Logan's Run
Logan’s Run (1976)

IMDB rating: 6.70

Plot: In the year 2274, after the world has been decimated by a holocaust, a new society is built and resides in a domed city. However, it is forbidden for humans to live beyond 30 and you are given two choices, either to go through a ritual called Carousel with the promise of being “renewed”, or go on the run and risk being hunted down by an elite police force known as Sandmen. Logan 5 is just such a man, and when he and his partner Francis 7 find and kill a runner, Logan takes an ankh symbol which identifies a person as a runner. When the computers of the city find out that Logan is in possession of the amulet, they order him to go undercover and find Sanctuary, the place where all the runners go to live out the rest of their lives. To ensure this, the computer adds four years to the time crystal on his palm to make it appear that he is on the verge of turning 30. Logan then meets up with Jessica 6, a member of the underground group that helps runners escape to Sanctuary. Logan then begins to run, but in the process realizes that there is much to live for and that he is just entering the prime of his life.

Is Obama care the beginning of Logan's Run?
Remember that movie? After you reached the ripe old age of 37 (I believe) you were scheduled for termination due to the fact that you were going to become a burden on the government?


yes it is.

. | Jul 26, 2009


something like that, and also similar to 1984.
black leopard | Jul 23, 2009


No, it’s more like the end of Logan’s Run.

By the time that Obama is finished wasting the wealth of America with his colossal overspending, Logan won’t be able to afford shoelaces for his running shoes, let alone the shoes!
e w | Jul 23, 2009


It was age 30 I think.

Sure, what Obama wants is us to "embrace hospice." That means he wants all the aged to be shoved away in a back room to die.

You heard him last night – he said that he couldn’t guarantee healthcare wouldn’t be rationed.
Ally 2 | Jul 23, 2009


The age was 30, actually. Socialists consider the individual to have no value if it has no benefit to society, so euthanasia for the old is already in their plans for a brave new world. Once that happens, who knows what’s next.
eelfins | Jul 23, 2009


You’re right. With Obama’s plan, the older you get, the more medical services you will be denied. While he himself will keep his PRIVATE SECTOR plan all his life cuz it’s the best in the world.
Derail | Jul 23, 2009


very similar, and it was age 30.

two major ways to save money under his plan, you’re adding 50 Million more people so that alone is monumental cost that are contained by: reducing doctors pay (thus driving them away), rationing health care and a committee determines who gets what treatment, the elderly will be denied treatments as in the EU, and raise taxes.

btw: they will be adding these 50 million but will be the same number of doctors to treat everyone. like in canada, there are not enough to go around and long waits are the norm.

Obama believes in partial birth abortions and thinks letting the new born die without treatment so what would happen to premature children that require expensive procedures to live? bye bye. all this is nothing more than eugenic and that is a very slippy slope. i guess it is one way to control population but do you want you or your family to ‘help’ this way? i don’t.

i see a lot of warnings made by logan’s run, atlas shrugged, brave new world and other cautionary tales.
Lady Shondra | Jul 23, 2009


Yes.
Under Obamas insurance idea you will not be able to get a heart stent or by-pass surgery after age 59.
Medicare and medicaid people, your screwed.

Plot: Set in the distant future, a spaceship carrying some 40 people, mostly ones wanting to settle on other planets from their own, hits a meteor shower and crash lands on a distant planet killing all but about a dozen of them. The survivors, led by the second-in-command Carolyn Fry (‘Rahda Mitchell’ (qv)), find themselves on a hot and humid landscape with constant sunlight from three orbiting suns. Fry not only must help the survivors find food and water, but contend with a deadly criminal, named Riddick (‘Vin Diesel’ (qv)), who was being transported to a prison cell on their destination. But every 22 years, the planet’s three suns go into a total eclipse for a month where darkness brings out the planet’s real inhabitants; large, reptilian, vampire-like creatures that come out and dominate the surface in total darkness, killing and eating all life. The Fry and her people then must cooperate with Riddick, who has surgically enhanced eyes to see in darkness, to lead them to safety and off the planet before they all become dinner for the creatures.

Another poem!? "The Good Snake"? Read, rate, rummage, ridicule?
The Good Snake

One symmetry of serpent sight, a flurry of swirls on dizzying tongue,
Clucking poison into well cloaked ears, a colourless haze of muffled song.
A plaited soul beneath canopy tile, slumbering Kaa in slender sweet lung,
Doping you in mercury cry, delving into panther pitch, of lullaby throng.

Which tapestry of villain stealth, do infant eyes so brightly spy?
A silken weaving of milk smooth skin, gathered, ribbed into floral scales.
Or a candle’s limpid, lolling flame, the forked voice page beneath fortune eye,
O fable fellow, O fickle friend. The fox glove cordial in magnolia tales.

Sometimes all I can taste is sweet, sweet, sweet. The powdered nectar to husk these lips,
Rich as dust this waterfall sand, flushing gravel of rose puckered glass.
The eternal folly of bell struck riddles, forth thieved from solo reality of ancient scripts,
A lizard host encasing He Of Deceit. Now despised, a thread beneath the sun licked grass.

No. I don’t see the leather locks, the fierce curl of spineless tresses,
I see not Medusa’s ink crusted blood, pulsing black beneath veil of lily flesh.
A hiss in their subtle smile, witness to maidens in slate dresses-
The fate of innocence, the pause in their pulse, coiling jubilant as barbed, satin mesh.

I taste no drug within these murmur thickened lips, but captivity of love-
Wood smoke reptile, baby coils abound fairest Violet’s book bearing palms.
Half grappled into this distant dream, observing words, the maiden’s scaled glove,
Two girls, one of curl and opal face, the other a pendant of wondrous charms.


You saved the best line till last:-

"Two girls, one of curl and opal face, the other a pendant of wondrous charms"

Loved that

Just watch the '55 Invasion of the Body Snatchers. I'm a little confused?
Okay, i saw "the Invasion" last year. Bought it about a week ago. Then, i decided to buy the original.
In "the Invasion" everyone is infected with an alien bacteria that takes over their brain and stuff. But, in the 50’s version everyone is replicated by pods. Now, every part of this is running smoothly with me. But, here’s my problem.
I picked up from a similiar question that in one of these films either all the REAL humans are being incinerated, or they’re just plain turn to dust. It would become my broken understanding from the film that once someone falls asleep their mind would be duplicated. From all of this, i would piece together that when you fall asleep, basically you die and the duplicate takes over.
UGH, okay… no more trying to reason with myself. Here is my question.
In the beginning when the pod was on the pool table, why when his original fell asleep did he seem to come to life? More so, when Betty fell asleep almost for only an instant it seemed, how did she immediately wake up an alien?
What am i missing? This is an American classic and i’m left scratching my head because i can’t figure out a "complex" (sarcasm) movie produced 54 years ago.


these might help

Where do the pods come from?
Dr Miles Bennell (Kevin McCarthy) can only conclude that they come from a plant created by atomic radiation, mutation, or "some weird alien organism". Miles’ third hypothesis is upheld later in the movie when his colleague, psychiatrist Danny Kauffman (Larry Gates), now a pod person himself, explains to Miles and Becky (Dana Wynter) that seeds drifting through space for years took root in a farmer’s field. From the seeds came pods that have the power to reproduce themselves in the exact likeness of any form of life.

How does a pod take over a human body?
According to what can be seen in the movie, the pod focuses on one person. It begins to take over that person’s physical appearance. When the person is asleep, it then finishes the transformation by taking over mind and memories. Unfortunately, it cannot absorb human emotions, so the resulting clone lacks the ability to feel love, beauty, grief, hope, and all those qualities that characterize the human condition.

What happens to the human’s body after the pod has taken it over?
Dr Bennell’s assumption is that the human body disintegrates. In Finney’s novel, the victim turns to static electricity. Other possibilities that viewers have offered include everything from the body dehydrating and turning to dust to the newly-created clone eating what remains of the human body.
