Seen any good sculptures made from almonds lately? Note: no other nut-based sculptures may be discussed under threat of the ban-hammer!

I just read an article where this woman says she is allergic to H20 in her bloodstream and literally everywhere inside her body and that a sip of water sent her into anaphylactic shock (she says IV saline does too because of the H20 component). She also says this immunologist diagnosed her as being allergic to the H20 molecule. She is 32 years old, appeared on Montrel, and a series of other shows since she was little. She gets into the news a lot, including this time when it was her 21st birthday. But is this feasible? She literally claims that immunologists have said she is allergic to the H2O molecule by itself, not to any contaminants in water. I have seen p…

I got encouraged, I think, to open a new thread on a topic that was sub-sub-topic in an already closed thread. I was just very curious about the historical facts and how people think about questions like this. It is well-known that a publication surfaced in 1931, in Germany, supposedly containing the writings of 100 people slash scientists(?) each of which attempted to criticize Einstein slash RT slash GR. Einstein replied, sensibly, that if anything is actually wrong with relativity, then a single opponent with a valid objection should be quite sufficient. This seems to not have swayed the Einstein cranks one bit, as they do actually still have a penchant to re…

At about first grade, I learned to write the lower case alphabet as Then, the books I had to read had these different : a, f, r, s, z When did fonts became such ? I thought it was with the invention of printing; but looking at manuscripts from before, they are there, as handwritten. Is there two kinds ? Manuscript and printing manuscript lower case ? Look at 'proper' r, a, s, f, here : For s, interestingly, "colonies solemnly" differ. But the r from Morris differs... It was mixed then. For a, seems in the 19th century someone decided to make it different: And the r here : and this…

As a brass contrabass, orchestras generally use a tuba. It's a long-wide-flared saxhorn with soft deep sound. In wind and brass bands, it blends in the saxhorn group, but not with the short-narrow-flared trumpets and trombones with brilliant sound. In symphonic orchestras, until they have a saxhorn group, the tuba is precious but it blends with nothing. Wagnertuben, already mentioned elsewhere, will be the contrabass and bass of the horn group when more composers eventually use them. At Berlioz' time existed low trombones with a longer slide and a handle to prolong the musician's arm, or with two slides side-by-side used simultaneously. Record: xM5s0l3sUwo 5:34-…

There are really strong winds where I am from and they tend to destroy basically every umbrella I have bought including some from amazon that were supposedly rated for 60mph winds. All the big supermarket umbrellas Tesco/Dunnes etc don't last me a day. Is there anywhere I can buy an exceptionally windproof umbrella?

I'm very self-conscious about communicating clearly, concisely and properly. I would like a thread where we point out other users' grammatical errors or inconcise, jumbled, unclear phrasing. Either quote or copy/paste the user's text, and add how you would have phrased it.

I understand many may or may not believe In extraterrestrials, But hear me out. Over the years many people have been seeing bizzare objects In the sky to convince themselves that there are others out there. Now ask yourself how is it that there is lots of sightings but why aren't they exposing themselves to us by now. Well this is my theory; They are observing us and our progression In Evolution to see if we are worthy to them I believe they are our creators they are letting us play in a playground observing us if we fail to use the tools to grow strong in everyway from our trust in each other our imaginations too see if we evolve into a civilization that will be able to …

Yes, most of you have already heard one, and even many... But most often, both the musicians and the composers make it a lumbering instrument, which it is not. So here are examples, all on Youtube. zPQdXN7wZcM les Tubadours fYOsNp4O7AU Øystein Baadsvik GNjsxLdSwHI Andreas Martin Hofmeir Far more agile than most listeners and musicians imagine.
