From Paul H. (a long time ago) "Sometimes I think the Universe is a dream. An infinitely complex self-consistent dream. We've all had them. And with the advent of humanity, the dream becomes partially aware of itself, it becomes a lucid dream. Beyond the wall of sleep, lies the nightly big bang of creation. Our unconscious is let loose of it's cage and expands at lightspeed. Stars form, ideas uncoil, ecosystems, stockmarkets, the colours of autumn. All spontaneously erupt from the furnace of our synaptic cauldron. Shit happens. It all makes a crazy dream-like sense. Homer, Hamlet, Paul H. ... as real as cornflakes, (and no more). What happens when the dreamer awakes? How many universes have *you* ended by getting out of bed in themorning? Who is dreaming you?" --Paul H. | |

| This one was quoted before and
probably will again;-) From: Chris (Avatar) 20/12/99 Subject: re: Chris (Avatar) post id: 18799 I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention. I translate ethnic slurs for Kenyan refugees, I write award-winning operas, I manage time efficiently. Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row. I woo women with my sensuous and godlike trombone playing, I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook Thirty-Minute Brownies in twenty minutes. I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru. Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single-handedly defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants. I play bluegrass cello, I had trials with Manchester United, I am the subject of numerous documentaries. When I'm bored, I build large suspension bridges in my garden. I enjoy urban hang gliding. On Wednesdays, after work, I repair electrical appliances free of charge. I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie. Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear. I don't perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail. I have appeared on Through the Keyhole and won the gold plaque. Last summer I toured Eastern Europe with a traveling centrifugal-force demonstration. I run the 100m in 9.65 secs. My deft floral arrangements have earned me fame in international botany circles. Children trust me. I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy. I once read Paradise Lost, Moby Dick, and David Copperfield in one day and still had time to refurbish an entire dining room that evening. I know the exact location of every food item in the supermarket. I have performed several covert operations for the CIA. I sleep once a week; when I do sleep, I sleep in a chair. While on vacation in Canada, I successfully negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a small bakery. The laws of physics do not apply to me. I balance, I weave, I dodge, I frolic, and my bills are all paid. On weekends, to let off steam, I participate in full-contact origami. Years ago I discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down. I have made extraordinary four course meals using only some vegtables and a Breville Toaster. I breed prizewinning clams. I have won bullfights in Madrid, cliff-diving competitions in Sri Lanka, and chess competitions at the Kremlin. I have played Hamlet, I have performed open-heart surgery, and I have spoken with Elvis. In short, I am an avatar. But I have never, in my life, eaten an apple and cucumber sandwich. (bolds mischieviously added by me;-)) | |

From: Wench of the Gods 04/03/2002 16:00:19 Subject: re: Biologic Life without DNA? Life on earth uses two languages. The DNA language is a code with 4 letters. Three letters makes up a word. This means that there are 64 words. Three of these are punctuation 'words' and one word doubles a start 'word'. Proteins use a language with 20 words. So, the 61 DNA words have to map to the 20 protein words. This creates a high level of redundancy in the translation - several DNA words will all code for thr same protein words. If you increase the number of DNA words by increasing the number of letters, without altering the size of the Protein language then that level of redunacy reaches levels that are highly ineffecient. Life, describing itself. Life, describing itself, describing itself. Oooo. *Chills* | |
