  1. If you really want to make your "research" marketable to neuroscientists, you'll need to start by getting it peer reviewed and published in a reputable journal.
  2. confabulate PSYCHIATRY To fabricate imaginary experiences as compensation for loss of memory.
  3. You simply write to : The Teacher P.O. Box 328 New Knockwurst, Ahia
  4. Looks interesting. I want to check it out, but probably not today.
  5. What were some of your contributions to the discussion group and how were they received?
  6. Would I be too forward if I asked you to describe your credentials and how you demonstrated your competence? I mean, how does one even go about demonstrating competence in such a situation, short of presenting a peer reviewed publication?
  7. Next time, don't add as much hot sauce.
  8. Here's a fun little riddle: If you record yourself speaking in tongues and play the tape backwards, your word order will be reversed, but if you turn the tape upside down, it will still sound like nonsense. Why is that?
  9. Oh, it starts that way, but trust me, it won't be long before it becomes the bottom out departure
  10. Oh, my gosh, yes! Then again, it might be that bowl of chili I had for lunch.
  11. Moses, Samuel, David, Elijah, Elisha, Shemaiah, Igdaliah Oops, it appears Vic was absent the day the list came out.
  12. Maybe it's just me, but I kind of feel like, if I was going to study the collaterals for 20 years, I'd probably start with that camera thingy so I could get to the point a little quicker.
  13. Did they solve the riddle? Oh, what am I saying? Of course they didn't. They had no one to teach them the solution.
  14. Were there refreshments? Curious minds need to know.
  15. I don't want to and you can't make me.
  16. There are languages that follow the SOV (subject, object, verb) format, rather than the SVO format that most of us are used to. That's part of what makes translating ancient texts a daunting task.
  17. It's the same whether it's straight or flipped.
  18. Shame on you for not letting them know how futile their efforts were, in light of not being able to "go beyond what you're taught".
  19. So, who taught them it would be a good idea to put them together?
  20. Chef Boyardee, of course.
  21. Who taught them to do that?
  22. Stop and think for a moment how utterly ludicrous that is. Without the infusion of fresh ideas, totally disconnected to any previously existing ideas, mans' cache of knowledge would have stagnated at the discover of fire..
  23. "You can't go beyond what you've been taught."- vpw So, where do new ideas come from?

    I haven't read the article yet, though I plan to when I get some time later today. Any discussion of it would probably need to tread lightly, to avoid crashing through the thin ice that lurks menacingly above political discourse.
