The heuristic which tends towards viewing our visible universe as a 93 billion light years wide balloon designed to recycle old carcasses into brand new fresh born babies is minimalist to the bone, extremely simplistic, childish, foolish and frivolous, not to say squarely stupid. In other words, it doesn’t cut it.
Han!
“I demolish your bridges behind you. You have no other choice but forward.”

“Carcasses bleed at the sight of the murderer.”
- Bob Burton (1577-1640)
The heuristic which claims that science is the only surefire method of proper pattern recognition is totally bogus.
I thought it was about 14 billion.(more or less; I mean who’s arguing about a few weekends?).
“All the earth is a grave and nothing escapes it, nothing is so perfect that it does not descend to its tomb. Rivers, rivulets, fountains and waters flow, but never return to their joyful beginnings; anxiously they hasten on the vast realms of the rain god. As they widen their banks, they also fashion the sad urn of their burial.” - Nezahualcoyotl (1402-1472)
“But there is only one surefire method of proper pattern recognition, and that is science.”
– Michael B. Shermer (1954 – ????)
“Science is a cemetery of dead ideas.”
– Miguel de Unamuno y Jugo (1864-1938)

– Albert Einstein (1879-1955)
Yes, we should immediately switch over to shamanism and Scientology. If you need treatment for cancer, etc., let me know how that works out for you.
cancer is not good! The earliest written record regarding cancer is from 3000 BC in the Egyptian Edwin Smith
Papyrus and describes cancer of the breast. source: Hajdu, SI

Actually, excepting certain fast-growing forms of it, prostate cancer is the best kind to get; it grows so slowly that you will die of old age first, so there is no reason to treat it. Of course, next week they will find a cure for old age and all the people who didn’t treat their prostate cancer will be rightly pissed.

“Marionettes are an excellent alternative to politicians.”
- Comte Maurice Polydore Marie Bernard Maeterlinck light remix 2012
I often ask myself what advantages our ‘good society possesses over that of the
‘savages’ and find, the more I see of their customs, that we have no right to
look down upon them. . . We have no right to blame them for their forms and
superstitions which may seem ridiculous to us. We ‘highly educated people’ are
much worse, relatively speaking. . . Franz Boas to Marie Krackowizer, December
23, 1883. Franz Boas’ Baffin Island Letter-Diary, 1883-1884, edited by
Herbert Cole (1983:33).
Which came first. the chicken or the avacado?

You should learn to spell avocado decently before memorizing a link.
An aphrodisiac is an agent which acts on the mind and causes the arousal of the mood of sexual desire.…. The crew behind Street Angel hits the ghetto with the Afrodisiac know the pun intended http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afrodisiac
“Only the very few people who really care about you will sincerely lecture you on how you should behave. You, yes you (and you, you and you too) should listen to them all right?. You should not pee in the street, you should wash regularly, you should change your pair of socks every day, you should dress before you go in the street, all right? You should also learn to pronounce the words of your language decently so you don’t sound like a chimp with a hot potato in the mouth when you speak. You should learn to spell right, even if you’re just an insignificant unilingual linguistic mistake. You should learn to brush your teeth at least once a day and use dental floss too. You should wash your hands regularly, before and after eating anything. But not YOU all right? YOU, oh, yes YOU I say, YOU, oh YOU, YOU YOU YOU, yes YOU are an extremely pitiful, sad case of narcissistic mess, so you should go lock your sorry silly self in a bathroom and admire it in a mirror and talk to yourself all day long, that’s the best option you can hope to pursue. OK! Enough said about the people who really care about you. Those who don’t care about you don’t give a damn. You’ll leave them totally indifferent. Or perchance you will be insulted by them, they will hate you, send you to hell, bully you or LTAO at you. Or in the worst case scenario they won’t even bother to talk to you. They will beat the crap out of you and crush you like a worm if you ever get in their way. Understood?”

“Money is the string with which a sardonic destiny directs the motions of its puppets.”
– William Somerset Maugham (1874-1965)
Oh, it’s deja vu repeated all over again once more!
You expect us to read all this light blue crap?
YES! You should read it very carefully. And put in practice everything it says. You should also comply with all the rules and laws in force applying to the legal district, or land area where your body is physically located at present. You should also study and know all these laws applying to you. If you’re in doubt, call your local law enforcement authority, pay a visit to the nearest police station or make an appointment with a lawyer. I hope I was clear enough. I’d also like you to report your progress here if possible, and inform us if you run into any issue. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
It would also be great if you could learn the fundamental difference between “affect” and “effect”, and if you could pronounce these words correctly, but this is not mandatory. Understood?
Where, exactly?
Windows XP was developed by Greeks for Egyptians. (That’s why they called it “Windows chi rho.”)

– Brooke Foss Westcott (1825-1901)
“Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking.” - Albert Einstein (1879-1955)

animals that know nothing.”

Dear Marina, I’m recovering from the delight of seeing another video from you about a word. And no, they don’t use frogs to make guacamole; it’s mostly avocadoes. I really missed seeing videos from you and I hope you will make the next one very soon. SeesixCM6
***Word requests: more Nahuatl***

Peyote ( /pəˈjoʊti/; from the Nahuatl word peyotl), ..indigenous words of food… straining!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-R1D5AOqfw native Nahuatl (Aztec) language. Song thanking the Creator for all that we have…
More Nahuatl:
Mount Popocatepetl — always spouting off!
Legend of Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl — the Mexican Romeo and Juliet!
Smoking!
INCA words… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_gG8jgNuQ0 The famous Peruvian singer—whose voice defies
classification— sings an exotic song to the Inca Sun God. Although known (and
appreciated) for exotica, many felt that Sumac, had she opted for a career in
classical music, could have been an extraordinary coloratura soprano.
Pencak Silat — Indonesian martial arts!
So how’s an Inca say ” ‘Til next time”?
“Quechua later!”
..my fault! Amaranthus hypochondriacus is an ornamental plant commonly known as the Prince-of-Wales
feather or the prince’s feather.…from Mexico/Kiwicha, as amaranth is known today in the Andes, was one of the staple foodstuffs of the Incas. Known to the Aztecs as huautli, it is thought to
have represented up to 80% of their caloric consumption before the conquest.
Another important use of amaranth throughout Mesoamerica was to prepare ritual drinks and foods.
To this day, amaranth grains are toasted much like popcorn and mixed with honey, molasses or chocolate to make a treat called alegría,
meaning “joy” in Spanish. Diego Duran described the festivities for Huitzilopochtli, a blue
hummingbird god. (Real hummingbirds feed on amaranth flowers.) The Aztec month
of Panquetzaliztli (7
December to 26 December) was dedicated to Huitzilopochtli. People decorated
their homes and trees with paper flags; there were ritual races, processions,
dances, songs, prayers, and finally human sacrifices. This was one of the more
important Aztec festivals, and the people prepared for the whole month….sourced: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amaranth

Them Aztecs were cool, make no Mixtec about it!
Is a Yma Sumac anything like a Notory Sojac?
Leonard, did you notice what happens if you click the YT video thumbnail? I guess YT considers what DISQUS does with the link as “embedding.”

Tomatoes were once thought to be poisonous. I guess the lesson is nobody wants to each an unknown quatity ending in -ato.
..sometimes you read/communicates my subconscious… even through my dribbles.
Marina, aka “Also known as”, hotforwords… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMeAGy1VPRk killer tomatos …..Uploaded by hotforwords on Jul 8,
2008 ….The word “tomato” comes from the Nahuatl word tomatl, literally “the
swelling fruit”.[
..2cents on your dollar/buck!
Since lawyers are not sexy, the Mexicans went back to calling avocados “aguacates.”
Hey Marina, maybe you can do the next lesson on “huevos.” :-D
Sooo…contrary to popular misconception, it does NOT take 6.02 x 10^23 avocados to make guaca-mole, all chemistry jokes aside.
The kids used to say that “quacka-mole” was a duck’s favorite avocado dish.
(“How many molecules in a guaca-mole? Avocado’s number!”)
OK, I’ll settle for 4th place. More later.
