    Does anyone have any leads on the whereabouts of a John Titor? It is of great urgency that I ask this forum. I am quite similar to John Titor, and I request his aid. If you are in league with John, do not run and hide. I am a friend...for now. But I believe we could help each other in our, predicaments. Please respond, your friend, Tim Travis

  3. I would like to propose that we, here at scienceforums, abandon English as a failed protocol for communication. Perhaps we could base our new universal language on ADANACO, the language developed by butcher bob in the movie "Big Meat Eater". If you are not familiar with this film I would highly recommend you watch it. In addition to the genius of ADANACO, it is the best comedy-horror-scifi-romance-musical ever released to home VHS tape. IN anticipation of any misguided criticism, allow me to state your attacks just demonstrate your lack of understanding of my central point and my only response will be non-sequeters. Irrefutable PROOF!

  5. http://theconversation.com/ordering-the-vegetarian-meal-theres-more-animal-blood-on-your-hands-4659 Eating vegetarian could result in more blood on your hands than being the omnivores humans naturally are. Eating vegan can result in far more sentient animals deaths than our current practices of eating red meat.

  6. Nice closeup shots of a jet engine: http://business.financialpost.com/2013/06/26/photo-gallery-cold-case/?elid=post31 My favourite is probably the steam picture taken after the engine was tested. Very cool!

    I have this sort of idea on how part of the vehicle technology in my show concept would work; keep the rider stuck to the vehicle at even the highest speeds. It would be a technology that electronically manipulates atmospheric molecules so that they move around the rider and vehicle, and not into them. Does that seem like it could happen in real life someday?

    Hi. Just found a partiture of a song my grandfather used to sing when I was a little kid, but no music. I would like to beg any musician to play (perhaps piano?) and capture its mp3 for me to listen. It will bring tears to me, meaningless to any other. If within your skills, please try. Attached. Thanks

    Rotting English... by laziness. The words 'laboratory'; 'identification'; 'abdominals' are gone ? 'Madam' is offensive ? An apostrophe has to be tossed in ? Female dog ? Three in the afternoon is being called 'night' ? I thought nights started at sunset ! 'Dinner' replaced by 'lunch' -- Isn't that what kids take to school ? Supper. What was that ? A ginecologist is now an alphabet soup. There is no more amplifiers or Amperes, now it is 'amps'... 'Googled' this or that... If you 'search' for something you are saying it wrong... 'Software' ? ; 'Booting up' ? Come on ! News redacted in convoluted phrasing to save ink ? Is a dozen 'you know' per minute the way to tal…

No way to make a vent for a portable air condition unit (refrigeration type is needed). However there is watter supply and watter drain. Does anyone know if there are small air condition untis that are able to pump heat into the watter? I don't even know what term should I google.

    I'm working on my Honda Element, and when i was fixing the window on the passenger side door the linkage from the indoor latch came off. Now I can't find where it attaches to the door latch internally. I can hook it to the internal door handle but I see no possible place for the linkage to hook to the internal door latch mechanism. Here is what I am working with... part 13/30, where it attaches to the door internal door latch handle 22/32 and 10/27 is obvious and easy but the internal attachment eludes me... This diagram is singularly unhelpful in figuring out where it attaches. it must transfer a side to side motion to an up and down motion but there is no o…

    Do you regret getting your PhD? Has it paid off both financially and personally? Has your research benefited science? Was researching a specialized field really worth the time of the PhD? If you could, would you have gone back in time and worked a 9-5 job making extra money, and have more available free time? I know the old cliche says that if you truly love something you will pursue it, but please avoid the cliches and motivational speeches. I'm looking for dry, upfront costs and benefits. ~EE
