    That’s one of my favorite anti-war songs of all time.

    Another favorite — an oldie but goodie — is Country Joe McDonald’s “Feel Like I’m Fixing To Die: .. here at Woodstock.

    =====================================

    Gimme an F! Gimme a U!. Gimme a C! Gimme a K! What does it spell?

    Yeah, come on all of you, big strong men,
    Uncle Sam needs your help again.
    He’s got himself in a terrible jam
    Way down yonder in Vietnam
    So put down your books and pick up a gun,
    We’re gonna have a whole lotta fun.

    CHORUS
    And it’s one, two, three,
    What are we fighting for ?
    Don’t ask me, I don’t give a damn,
    Next stop is Vietnam;
    And it’s five, six, seven,
    Open up the pearly gates,
    Well there ain’t no time to wonder why,
    Whoopee! we’re all gonna die.

    Well, come on generals, let’s move fast;
    Your big chance has come at last.
    Gotta go out and get those reds —
    The only good commie is the one who’s dead
    And you know that peace can only be won
    When we’ve blown ‘em all to kingdom come.

    CHORUS

    Well, come on Wall Street, don’t move slow,
    Why man, this is war au-go-go.
    There’s plenty good money to be made
    By supplying the Army with the tools of the trade,
    Just hope and pray that if they drop the bomb,
    They drop it on the Viet Cong.

    CHORUS

    Well, come on mothers throughout the land,
    Pack your boys off to Vietnam.
    Come on fathers, don’t hesitate,
    Send ‘em off before it’s too late.
    Be the first one on your block
    To have your boy come home in a box.

    CHORUS.

    Why is snot green?

    Typically, nasal mucus is clear and thin, and its main job is to filter air as you suck it in through your nostrils. But during an infection, mucus can change to a yellow or green color as a result of how your body is trying to fight off the bacteirial or viral infection.

    The green color comes from a chemical secreted by white blood cells — specifically, the heme group in the iron-containing enzyme myeloperoxidase — to kill pathogens.

    In the case of a bacterial infection, the bacteria become trapped and breed in pre-existing mucus, which turns yellow-green as the white blood cells go to work.

    Tomorrow we will explore why shit is brown.

    The world’s largest number … in terms of actually counting something is 10 to the 80th power.

    This is the estimated number of fundamental subatomic particles (Quarks and Leptons ) in the known universe. The name for this number is Quinquavigintillion.

    I only bring this up because it has Jim’s last name in it. I think this is significant. But, I don’t know why.

    Let us assume that somewherre in the universe there is an Alien World vastly superior to humans.

    One day the Aliens visit earth (it only takes a few moments with their technology) and they bring YOU on their mothership … which is totally undetectable.

    They educate you fully all about themselves. Then they send you back to earth with the following instruction: “You must convince the world that we exist, or we will destroy your planet.”

    How would you convince others that these aliens exist?

    Elephants are some of the most intelligent animals on Earth. Their brains have more complex folds than any other animals except whales. They have the most developed hippocampus, a brain region responsible for emotion and spatial awareness. They commonly show grief, humor, compassion, cooperation, self-awareness, tool-use, playfulness, and excellent learning abilities.

    ====================================================
    The video below is truly one the most fantastic things you’ll ever see.
    In it an elephant paints ……. an elephant !! Fucking amazing.
    ====================================================

    And if this post doesn’t turn a pretty color yellow I will never post interesting vids again.

    Your wondering aloud is cracking me up.

    C’mon now!! You mean you’ve never wondered why your shit is brown???

    As far as the “alien” thought experiment goes, is it so unreasonable?

    If so, replace “alien” with “God”. Sooo … you are the ONLY person to whom god revealed himself. How would you convince the world that you, and you alone, have met this god ,and know his will, and that these people must now obey what you tell them god wants them to do?

    Not so far fetched considering that’s how Judaism got started (with Abraham and Moses).
