What if c-a-t actualy spelled dog?
Fun facts, a perfect game was pitched in the pros, by a player on LSD. The discoverer of LSD continued to use it, for spiritual purposes, for the rest of his life, he died only a few years ago. The Double Helix, the key to understanding DNA and genetics, was concieved on LSD.
Did I ever mention how much I like tripping? Tripped my way through a fair portion of the 80's.

Cool! But what the fuck are you talking about "what if c-a-t actually spelled dog"? Unless you mean what if red was really blue? Then I get it. 8)

Never saw it. Also, stopped listening to popular music after the 70s. That's my age showing.
I do actually remember wondering at one time, what if each of us saw a different color when we looked at red? There's no way of knowing whether we see the same color because we've learned to call whatever color we're seeing "red."
That is a great conversation to have, on acid.
Well we only see a small fraction of the potential corors to begin with, and everything we experience is a construct of the mind. Like the eyes, they are not windows for the brain to see out of, they are more like digital cameras, sending electrical signals to the brain to process and construct an image of reality. I saw Niel Degrasse Tyson saying how those optical illusion books should be called brain failure books, because the illusion is really a failure of our brain to process the visual information correctly.
Cool. On the other hand, the brain adjusts what we see so we can understand it better. If someone puts on glasses that turns images upside-down, the person will eventually see them as right-side up. Aqueous humor is wavy and full of floaters, yet we usually perceive objects as having stable forms.
Dude, I want those glasses, and I wanna wear them while on acid.
Isn't like most of the actual light sensors, packed into one small area at the back of the eye, as in only a small part of what we see is actually detailed, the rest is like data compression, just enough sensors to pick up movement, but basically just what the mind makes up?
Yeah, I think the mind fills in the blanks a lot, but I don't know that kind of shit too well at all. Here's one thing on it, though: http://www.acnr.co.uk/SO09/ACNRSO09_brain.pdf

What Have You: I used to work in the world of print news (which is about to have its Chonson cut off)....anyway..at some hi-res magazine printers..the press crew has to take visions tests to see how well they perceive color based on a certain standard because apparently people see color in a slightly different way. This is not Nam this is color printing.,.there are rules. Far out, man..far fucking out.

Fuck an a, man. I did not know that. Is this related to color blindness, then? http://www.colblindor.com/2009/01/06/50-facts-about-color-blindness/
Yeah, I read the military looked for the color blind to be spotters since they could see snipers hiding in the trees. They could see the difference in the green color of the camouflage from that of the trees. I believe everyone sees colors differently.

"
Reverse color blindness testColor vision deficient people have a tendency to better night vision and, in some situations, they can perceive variations in luminosity that color-sighted people could not. Only color blind people can actually read what is written in the picture below... That means, if you fail the test, you probably have the full range of color sensitivity that is attributed to color-sighted people."

More 111!
This from my brother Charlie. ;;D
This year we're going to experience four unusual dates. 1/1/11, 1/11/11, 11/1/11, 11/11/11 and that's not all...Take the last two digits of the year in which you were born -now add the age you will be this year, and the result will be 111 for everyone...!! This year October will have 5 Sundays, 5 Mondays and 5 Saturdays. This happens only every 823 years...
QuoteThis year October will have 5 Sundays, 5 Mondays and 5 Saturdays. This happens only every 823 years...
NO it doesn't!
I'm not going into the maths ...it would take too long....read this website....it explains it AND read the comments....http://www.geekosystem.com/5-fridays-saturdays-sundays-not-823-years/ (http://www.geekosystem.com/5-fridays-saturdays-sundays-not-823-years/)
Peace.
Ignoring that the web site shows 5 Fridays and not 5 Mondays, it is correct about the 823 years is not correct and I should have known that as I already knew about the 14 year cycle.
Shame on me!! :(
Shame indeed! what the fuck lets go bowling dude.... :)

GOOD IDEA!
I got that wheezer pro-am on Saturday. My first one ever...Need more practice! ;D
Then I shall virtually bowl with you in my dreams...as you know my bowling buddy has been asleep for a while now...I'll give her a night off and we can practice dude.
Good luck with the Wheezer pro-am (I'm pretending to understand but am truly wholly supportive!! :) )
Do what the best fighter pilots do.... move around all the time as if you're really throwing rocks...enjoy man whatever the outcome.... we are with you one and all. :)
Bowled the Senior Pro-Am on Saturday. I didn't cash, but at least I didn't embarrass myself too badly. 187, 181, 159. I was second high of the 4 senior men on our pair of lanes, except for the pros of course. I didn't bring the right ball.
I called to ask what the oil was going to be and was told it would "probably" be the THS (typical house shot); which I had practiced on last Thursday, so I only took the 2 balls that worked best on that oil. Well, it was definitely Not the THS. I think it was more like the PBA Chameleon long and heavy oil pattern the pros bowl on. Since I'm a stroker I don't get many revs on my ball so I don't get much hook on long and heavy oil...by the middle of the second game, with all the carry down, I wasn't getting any hook at all. Basically trying to throw straight at the pocket but not doing so well and leaving splits.
Saw Mark Roth who is looking real good after his stroke; he even threw a few balls, and Johnny Petraglia bowled on the lanes next to us.
So other than not bowling well, I met a few of the Pros; who were really nice, and bowled with a bunch of really nice guys, and all in all had a good time.
Oh, by the way...did I mention it was a No Tap?! ;D

Well Outer Element dude, that is what video editing software is for! I edited out all the gutter balls and ringing 10 pins! ;D
Yeah, I figured, but still very dudely work, man. I'm not afraid to admit I'm a pretty terrible bowler, so I admire the straight shooters.
