Memoriam

Today is a day to remember.  Remember those who have served, those who have given their lives in order to protect our freedoms and the freedoms of others.  Those people are true heroes, and those who deny them that or believe them to be a reason for troubles in the world, or those who disrespect them or spite them, those people do not deserve to have freedoms in this nation, let alone an opinion, but this nation allows those freedoms to all who are citizens of this great nation.  Remember and honor those who have served.  Do not think of today as a day of rest, or as a joyous occasion, or a cause for a party, think of it as a day to ponder.  Ponder what might happen if there is no one to serve, ponder the outcome of the world if this nation were not so, ponder if there were not the kind of people there are who are willing to give there lives for others, ponder everything, ponder why you have done what you have done, ponder if you have justified there sacrifice, ponder whether or not you make the most out of every day, ponder if you are a person of greed or a person who the soldiers would be happy to know, ponder.  Remember them.  Honor them.  Today is not a day off, today is a day of remembrance.

Turtle Coins

Imagine, if you will, a time in which time itself didn't know how to count.  That would be interesting.  Now imagine a turtle, see this is fun isn't it.  No you say, well let me get your birth certificate and social security number and we'll see how fun things can get.  Yeah that's right, I will.  No, not really, I might send out a Trnka titan to destroy you, but I wouldn't steal your identity, that is wrong.  Have a turtle for the fun of it.  Just don't let him play in the street like you did with your last pets.  Poor kids, they never saw the semis coming.  Eat some spinach there Popeye.  Ai, go over the horses and under the drapes, hide the cheese.  Out.

A Means To An End

A means to an end is not necessarily an end to means.  Means must be used in order to achieve things, and upon achieving said thing, another thing must be set forth to be achieved.  And not all things needing to be achieved need to be an end.  Also, upon achieving something, in order for there to be a means for life to continue, something must step into its place to be achieved, thus we find our selves to be in a means for means.  Meaning that we could just cut out the middle man, the thing to be achieved, and just have a means to a mean.  Does this mean anything to you?  Of course it might.  Let us not find a means to a mean, for upon that day there is no more mean.  To all, just stop with the means, make there be no means to anything, thus allowing us to be in a constant state of means, but be careful to not totally ignore the means, because then there would be no means at all, leading to no reason for life. Always have a means for means, but just don't do them, that is until the night before they are due, or even the morning before they are due.

Buzz Buzz

I suppose it is about that time isn't it?  We shall now discuss together the birds and the bees.  Birds fly, and so do bees, but generally speaking, bees are much smaller than birds.  Bees generally are accompanied by a buzzing sound whereas, save for birds like the hummingbirds, do not really have that sound.  Bees sting and it hurts as well as make honey.  Birds peck and make windows messy.  Bees live in hives and birds live in nests.  Bees have queen bees, and birds lay eggs.  Now you are ready for life.  If you feel anyone you know needs to have this talk, feel free to use all the information here, and you don't need to reference me at all!  Buzz buzz.

Acesodynous Supercivil Braggadocianism

A relieving of pain in civilization through the use of braggadocio.  It is an unalterable truth that the United States believes itself the most superior country in the world, and why shouldn't it, it is.  We as a people are able to relieve the pains of the world by being so awesome.  When we are above other countries in all other ways possible; I mean come on, we are after all, the country that was able to bring about the end of two of the 4 world wars.  I mean we are not only super powerful and all, but we are full of geniuses.  Just think of all the technologies that we have, and where do you think we got these technologies, probably invented in Japan and made in China.  That is how smart we are, we need not do any work to be on top.  Without precedence of this power in the past, we can not help but brag.  Well, you might consider countries of the past like the US, like perhaps Rome, the Chinese Empires, and Germany of yore, among many others, but really, we are better just because we are who we are.  While we are at it being awesome though, we should colonize other planets and make them equally awesome and a part of US.  We could colonize the moon and join the Delta, we could go and conquer Mars from the Martians, or we could even go all the way out to Alpha Centauri and defeat Sid Meier.  Let our kingdom rain forever because it will because we are awesome because we say so because, well just believe US.

Potatoes

When the advent of time was in view, and the Universe young, the simple solution to all problems was to use potatoes.  no longer is this so.  Everyone agreed then, and it may even seem it now, the creation of the Universe wasn't a good thing.  It was all too messy and jumbled.  Why couldn't they just leave everything the way it was, everything was just a quick fix, just use a potato.  Now we have only one thing that is even remotely close to the usefulness level that potatoes were back then, and that item is duct tape.  Understand though how simple and easy everything was back then.  Oh yeah that's right, you can't, just picture something that isn't difficult in an infinite abundance, like EXTREME PING PONG.  Yeah, that.  Now you understand don't you.  Just try and use potatoes to solve everything, doesn't work.  Wish it did didn't ya.  Well, shouldn't of messed everything up with this Universe deal then.
On a side note, today there is a birthday.  Happy Birthday!

Penguin Advancement

I believe it is time we put apart our differences and finally rejoin forces with the penguin militia.  They have gone through their civil war, and triumphantly can proclaim that they now have a just Emperor, along with the guidance and aid of Lord Penguin.  Since the end of The Penguin Wars, many penguins have reached out for assistance claiming that they had saved the world from some race of shade creatures, and while I am a little leery of this claim, I wholeheartedly accept them among our ranks in civilization.  With all their scientific advancements they have yet to share with us they could be a major benefit to us, while we could finally provide them a safezone throughout the world so they do not have to worry about being assaulted without cause.  I have been in contact with a certain penguin who I have known for a long time, and I have complete trust in, and he has been talking to his people, and they all agree that they wish for all bloodshed that is unneeded end promptly.  From what we have seen as well, their weaponry is immensely powerful considering the fact that they have fought an all-fronts war and were able to not only hold back all opposition, but push them back and advance themselves, and that is with their tiny population.  Also if they were fighting a supposed war against the creatures they claim they fought, that would make it all the more impressive.  The reason we would require their efficiency in war, what seems to be even more efficient of a war machine than that of Germany, is because of the imminent strike from the Martians.  I'm sure that if we were to contact and consult the Delta, they would first be shocked to find fighting amongst ourselves, but also would agree that we need to assist them in all ways possible.  So please, for the sake of all humanity and penguinity, let us put away our differences that we have pettily made up, and join in an epic battle for survival.

On the Feet of the Steed

Special Ops...  Transmission Linking...  Operation:  Pony Express
To those of you listening, there is a special mission to be granted by a super secret organization.  The code names are completely in use, and boy are they fitting.  Everything that could possibly have a code name has one, this is a transmission which I have received, and I feel completely confident in posting it here because it could not possibly be deciphered without knowledge of what it is about.  So without further ado, I present to you, super secret #1:
'Today to the gates of apples.  We all must understand tomorrow on the stones.  Stray afar from the grey, but acknowledge completely the gray.  Travel with opinion on the feet of the steed so as to not wake the neighbors.  Detriment is unacceptable, let loose grizzly.  UUDDLRLRbaStart.  Send it to trains of onions, beware the hornets.  Exuent all.'

Delta-Star

The Delta, a species of aliens that supposedly inhabit the moon, are either with us or against us.  If you look at the based-on-a-real-story film Mars Attacks, the Martians are planning to attack us whether we are prepared or not, and the Delta are turning our moon into a star of sorts.  If you are wondering, this star was seen in another real story film titled Star Wars.  Yes, that is correct, the Delta are turning our very moon into a form of the Death Star.  My belief though, is that they are actually creating this in order to help us in our defense against the Martians.  My reasoning behind this is the following:  The Martians already seem to have a Death Star; one of Saturn's moons, Mimas, has been turned into a Death Star.  I believe that it was under construction for many many years, more than any of us has been around, and was finally completed recently.  What they are waiting for is to move it to the ideal position to assault Earth with, as well as the fact that without the Earth, the Delta would not be inhabiting a predefined orbit as they have been for many years.  What we must do to assist the Delta in defending our home planet is simple:  First, assemble all the bus drivers into a defense task force, second, call Stephen Hawking and ask him to use the LHC to make a few black hole cluster bombs, and third, tell the Delta that they "may fire when ready."  This should in fact not be wholly unexpected, after all we do have the temperament of a society that has reasonable temperatures, think of the temps at which they have to live with on Mars.  I mean really, think about how moody some people can get upon entering 100 degree (farenheit) weather, and how reclusive people can become upon arriving at temperatures 40 degrees below.  They endure through much worse, they have to take their aggression out on someone, so I say we just give them a heater and air conditioner and wish them the best, that and have Mr. Hawking send them to another universe through one of his fancy wormholes.

Abracadabra Alakazam

That is my answer, and I feel it is the best answer out there.  Scientists are always out there trying to explain everything, and I can already do that, so I tell them to stop wasting their time.  If anyone has any questions, I can answer them, if you don't have any questions, I can still answer them.  So to start off, I will answer the question of a random topic, and in light of physics, I will make it gravity.  Gravity is not actually caused by mass and gravitational pulls of anything, you see, since the Earth has a magnetic field everyone is attracted to the Earth through magnetism.  There are different forms of magnetism, which explains why magnets as you believe them act the way they do towards certain thing.  But the main reason for which magnetism works to hold everything down consists of scheming doctors and governments.  You see, at birth we all have umbilical cords in order to use the parent to hold us down to Earth, or said planet, otherwise we would just be free floating.  The doctors immediately upon birth insert a special type of magnet which then begins its process of holding us down.  There is a lot more behind this as well.  The magnetic bond from this acts as a sort of rubber band, which is attached to said planet or object we are on, and upon being broken needs to be re-affixed to the being, and doing so has become easier with technology.  Now a days, we have tiny nano-bots that fly around and do all of this at a molecular level, but in our early days of space travel some odd thousands of years ago, the people who returned to Earth were first lassoed and pulled down, and then put through the grueling re-affixiation process, not fun.  Today it is much more simple and quick as well as pain free.  I feel this adequately serves to allow you to understand more about gravity, tune into the next session of Abracadabra Alakazam which will arrive sometime in the future, perhaps they will be here once a month or so, who knows, enjoy.

Zippy

Just a quick update today.
You need to know how to know before you can truly know that you know naught, for in naught knowing that your knowledge is naught, you are but naught in knowledge, but in being naught in knowledge you are the same as knowing that your knowledge is naught, thus verifying that no matter what, naught is known.  The power of knowledge knows no limits, which is why man is not bestowed with knowledge, rather man is given the ability of insight.

We Are Under Attack!

Apparently aliens think it their duty to destroy mankind.  We mustn't let this happen.  As an example I will recall for you this true story of a school bus ride that I had on my way to school in my younger years:
There we were, not thinking about much, rather focusing on the Gameboy.  The game itself was fun, but in no way would it have been the optimal lead in for what was next.  There came a loud humming sound overhead, it was all the more louder because we were out in the valley somewhere on a gravel road, with the bluffs creating immense echoes, and all of a sudden the bus driver yelled "All those under the seventh grade get down and stay hidden, the rest of you, it is time to assemble, and I know you don't know what is happening, but there is no time to prepare."  All of us who were in the seventh grade and above all formed a line to the front of the bus as we waited for the driver's next action.  All of a sudden there were crazy loud earth shaking thuds all around us, and as I glared out the windows I could see debris flying everywhere with craters the sizes of boulders all around.  The bus driver began to open a compartment under his seat, and as it opened we all became wide eyed, but it did not last due to the continued bombardment of the bus.  The back of the bus had gotten hit by one of the blasts, and as a result, it was completely torn off, with a result of several injuries to some of the high school kids. What was in the supply stash though was our only hope.  It seemed to be a mixture of rocket launchers and more rocket launchers.  There were plenty for everyone, but the problem was getting out of the bus without being blasted in order to use them.  This is where planning came into place.  We had one person next to each window, and three lined up in the back where there was nothing, and then the bus driver put the bus into reverse and slowly backed up about twenty feet.  It was perfect, we were all able to get clear shots at the large oval shaped ship flying above us.  We started in order with firing, from the two in the front windows, until the people in the back had fired.  Upon entering our second round of bombardments, we had the remaining students with rockets exit the bus and take cover by trees and get in firing position.  The bombardments of both the student and the aliens stopped for a moment, then the students all fired at once, causing a massive hole in the ship where the rockets all mostly hit.  The strange thing was, they still weren't firing anymore.  Then the bus driver saw their plan and yelled, "Coral onto the bus, I have more stuff to use."  So what happened next was we loaded onto the bus and all traded in rockets, save for three students in case of emergency, for automatic rifles.  We were now prepared with two students per window, and six in the back, three of them with rockets.  It was time to take out their "sneak" ground assault.  They tried to jump us from over a hill, but they were no match, the driver hauled it double time in the bus and even proceeded to take three of them out by running them down.  No more ammo, so what happened next was quite stunning; the bus driver pulled out his secret lightsaber and proceeded to use a combination of the saber and the force to easily annihilate the remaining attackers.  I won't go into the details of that because I'm sure you all have an idea of that.  After the aliens proceeded to beam all of their troops aboard and leave, the bus driver had us all sit in our seats and not be too loud until we got to school.  Thank God for bus drivers.

Stardate Now

With the advent of supertechnologies it is understandable that people just take technology for granted.  This being so, we should attend to some of the reasons behind the advancements of such things.  Where do the ideas for all these crazy technologies come from.  It seems quite transparent that the apparent answer is Science Fiction.  The works of science fiction can attest to many of today's everyday items as their brainchild.  Why then is science fiction viewed as something for nerds and geeks when most people in the world today use these crazy ideas that were initially represented in science fiction.  If you look around your room and view any of the following objects you can either adjoin your name to the likes of geekdom and nerdocity, or simply accept the fact that science fiction is more important than it is viewed by everyday people (nice fallacy use):  Television, DVD's, Computers, Printers, Flash Drives, Avatar, Cheese, Paper, Air, Turkey, Juice, James Cameron, Ground, Gravity, Floor Boards, Board Rooms, Room Service, Service Specialists, Special Olympics, Olympic Athletes, Space Ships, Middle Aged Mutant Turtles, Eyes, Fingers, Light, Hamster Cages, Speakers, VHS Tapes, Liver Transplants, Rocket Ships, Pirate Ships, Battleships, Cameras, Snowmen, Hats, Dust, Color, Footballs, Couches, Water, Remotes, Shirts, Telephones, and if you could stretch your thinking a bit, you could probably even include phasers.  With such an extensive and profound list, you might be asking yourself, "wow, does science fiction impact anything else, or maybe important people like perhaps:  Stephen hawking, that one guy from the Universe on the Discover  Channel, Doc Emmit Brown, Thomas Thesing, Manhorse, Ron L. Hubbard, the crazy guy on the corner of the boulevard, the crazy guy that runs around with a giraffe outfit, Emelia Earhart,  Amadeus Mozart, Genghis Kahn, Spock, George W. Bush, Thomas the Train, geese, Nintendo, paper, Luke Brekke, Orson Scott Card, Lord Alfred Tennyson, the author of The Penguin Wars, AC/DC, Nikola Tesla, Chromium ions, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, and what about the director of Der Untergang?"  And in asking yourself that, you may also want to get checked by a specialist, but that isn't the point, because yes, all of those people have been or are profoundly affected by science fiction, go ahead and don't ask them yourself.  Well, maybe not Orson Scott Card, but rest assured that the rest are all very affected by such writings.  End.
