a japanese doctor found out that by putting written messages on a water bottle like "i love you" can change the structure of the water.



The Emoto water experiments are completely bogus. Changing the structure of water? Bull. The experiments are flawed. They aren't double blind, and the photographs you see are selections from numerous photographs from numerous samples.

wiki on Emoto

Anything related to What the Bleep is also bogus. It was produced by associates of phony JZ Knight. I'm baffled as to why people buy into this ridiculous comic book "quantum mechanics" garbage.

wiki on What the Bleep.

Salon article on What the Bleep.

Have I seen the film? Yes. My boss at the time recommended the film and I saw it cold. Why the bleep didn't I do my homework before seeing the film? I would have saved a few bucks.

I had heard of offshoring, but not with espresso. That is one temperature-management challenge.

Lisa Rein Washington Post Staff Writer wrote:You can't find "Abraham Lincoln: His Speeches and Writings" at the Pohick Regional Library anymore. Or "The Education of Henry Adams" at Sherwood Regional. Want Emily Dickinson's "Final Harvest"? Don't look to the Kingstowne branch.

It's not that the books are checked out. They're just gone. No one was reading them, so librarians took them off the shelves and dumped them.

... thousands of novels and nonfiction works have been eliminated from the Fairfax County collection after a new computer software program showed that no one had checked them out in at least 24 months.

Like Borders and Barnes & Noble, Fairfax is responding aggressively to market preferences, calculating the system's return on its investment by each foot of space on the library shelves -- and figuring out which products will generate the biggest buzz. So books that people actually want are easy to find, but many books that no one is reading are gone -- even if they are classics.

Wow.. that's seriously #$%#ed up.

I figured there were still sections of the world not influenced by popularity and the current market trend in favor of historical value and fundamental principles.

Looks like I was wrong.

I wonder if those were supposed to be edible.

Such a poor fate for a proud machine.

Quote of the day,

Just because you own an espresso machine does not mean you can make espresso.
