I figure a car would have to be doing about 150 MPH to make a complete loop in that thing. The downforce would be so great that the bottom of the car would probably scrape the ground slowing the vehicle and causing the car to fall down and land upside down killing the driver. Sorry, my analytical brain kicks in automatically sometimes.
My older brother Freddy was a little strange. I think it had to do with the fact that my mother drank a lot when she was carrying him. His behavior made it hard for him to make any friends cause they all thought he was weird. There was a group of guys he wanted to hang out with in middle school but they wouldn't accept him into their clicque because he didn't smoke and they all did. I guess they didn't want anybody who may have felt superior to them in the crowd who might think he was better than them. So, in order to be accepted into the gang Freddy had to become a smoker, which he did.
Some time after that, he decided to make me a better person by teaching me to smoke. I was about 9 or 10 years old at the time. He took me out in the hallway and tried to get me to smoke a cigarette. After a lot of urging I finally sucked a mouthful of smoke from the cigarette and then blew it out and said "That was terrible." He said No, No, you're supposed to inhale like this and he showed he how to do it. I thought that seems kinda gross but WTH ok I'll try it. So, I took another puff and opened my mouth and sucked the smoke into my lungs. Well, I thought I was gonna die cause it was so horrible that I immediately blew it out as fast as I could and started caughing and feeling kinda dizzy. At which point he said No, No you're supposed to hold it in your lungs as long as possible. I thought you gotta be crazy to do a thing like that, I mean why whould anybody torture themselves by doing something like that? It was getting late and I thought there might be something on TV I want to watch so we went back in the house.
Humans are not the dominant life form on planet Earth! The human brain has been out smarted by a life form with no brain at all. Humans use the instinct of other life forms against them. Think about a cow that willingly walks into a slaughter house, or a fish that thinks he struck pay dirt only to find himself hanging by his lip a few seconds later. Other life forms use chemistry and biology and our own human brain to outsmart us.
A case in point: The Tobacco plant has a chemical, Nicotine, which the plant "invented" to protect itself from insects. This chemical has the side effect of creating an addictive reaction on the insect and human brain leading to the intended outcome which is death of the insect and human. Let's face it, in the struggle for life the only way to win is to kill your enemy. This is not about an anti smoking effort, I couldn't care less about a person who willingly inhales smoke from a smoldering weed into their lungs. It's about informing you, if you smoke, that you're being out witted by a plant.
This is the biggest lie ever fed to the human race. It is pure hearsay with no supporting evidense what-so-ever. It seems since it's written in the "holy book" it must be true and nobody out of fear would dare question it.
Now I would like to offer some facts relating to the alleged crucifixion of Christ. It is claimed that this one time carpenter/prophet hauled the very cross he was to be hung from, all the way to the top of Calvary hill or mountain. In all the pictures I've ever seen of the crucifixion the cross appeared to be rough hewn wood of about 6-8" square. The length of the crossbar had to be at a minimum 6 feet long to allow material for the nails or rope to tie the wrists whichever was done. We have no idea what kind of wood the cross was made from but being conservative to the maximum extreme let's assume it was made of the lightest wood available at the time in the area where this supposedly took place, namely Cedar. This would mean the crossbar weighed about 34 lbs. The vertical mast extended about a foot above the crossbar and the feet of Christ was shone to be about 4 feet above the ground. The vertical mast of the cross couldn't have merely sat on top of the ground because it would have simply fell over. Therefore it had to be set into a hole in the ground at least 2 1/2 feet to keep it upright. This would mean the length of the vertical post had to be a minimum of 13 feet. Assuming it had the same cross section as the crossbar and made from the same type of wood, it would have weighed 72 lbs. For a total of 106 lbs at the very minimum. If it was Pine, which is much more likely because Cedar, being very scarce, wouldn't have been wasted by turning it into a cross to hang criminals, it would have weighed 125 lbs. Now, is it possible for a thin man who probably hasn't done manual labor for years other than preaching, in the heat of the middle east, to haul a 106 to 125 lb wooden cross up a big hill wearing a long robe and sandals? But, What the hell, anybody who believes they're gonna come back to life after they drop dead will believe anything. This tall tail should rightly be called the Cruci Fiction.
When I was about 14 my friend Jimmy and his GF Evelyn and I were hanging out at her house when the subject of French kissing came up. None of us had ever done it and we thought it was about time to correct that omission. Jimmy was afraid to do it with Evelyn so they asked me if I would do it. I kinda liked Evelyn so I said WTH ok. None of us had any idea about how to actually do a French kiss except that it involved touching each others tongue together. So, she stuck her tongue out and I touched it with the tip of my tongue. Well, it was kinda weird but also kinda nice and I said well, I don't know when asked how it felt. I said I'll have to do it again just to be sure and so we kissed and she slipped her tongue into my mouth and I thought I died and went to heaven. So, how was it Jimmy asked, I said IDK I think I need to do it again. We kissed again and I felt like I could do this all night. Jimmy was too afraid to do it so we dropped the subject. Oh what a night!
More than two years after closing the $66 billion merger of equals between North Carolina-based BB&T Corp. and Atlanta-based SunTrust Banks, the combined bank will finally rebrand branches under its new name, Truist.
I've been getting a lot of calls from this outfit, with different phone #'s I guess they are trying to drum up business. I've never done business with either of the 2 banks mentioned.
Another of my favorite books is ATTA by Francis Rufus Bellamy it's about a man who is almost hit by a lightning bolt and gets knocked out. When he comes to, he finds that he is the size of an insect. Blades of grass are as big as trees. He makes friends with an Ant named ATTA. I've read this book 3 times and I'm reading it again.
It's kind of a shame that this has turned into a kind of a joke forum. I was prepared to offer you all some good info on making a lot more money than you might be getting from a savings acct or stashing your nest egg in your sock drawer
Yahoo Finance has alot of stock msg boards to join in and chat about your holdings or whatever you're thinking of jumping into, or got burned by or profited with in the past. It's a good place to get a feel for what other people are into.
I stopped buying Corporate stock about 10 years ago, since then I have been strictly into Corporate and Municipal Bond funds. They are lot more stable pricewise, and they pay a higher dividend.
