    Just thought it was worth bring up,,,, It was a HUGE tool back in its day, to assist in mathematical solutions, before the age of electronic hand healed units now! (

    Just to satisfy the skeptic's out there I have a picture I took of one! He has the ability to project a holographic image of a human form around himself while bowling here on Earth! This is The Dude,,, that on this web site... I took this picture of him while taking a dump! ((( I know,,, I KNOW,,, but its the only time their holographic image has to be shut down! It has something to do with changing power cells, and a bunch of other crap!!




    you might think the thought of Iceman doing it,,,,,, STINKS.... and it DID at the time, but THE TRUTH needs to get out!


    I did what I had to do,,, this just might be a picture of SOMEONE YOUR BOWLING RIGHT NEXT TO!!! They LOVE OUR BEER,,, and they love to BOWL!!



    ALIENS like to BOWL, DRINK OUR BEER, and chase Women! They have none on their planet!
    the game of bowling actually comes to us from the planet Remulak -- where the Coneheads live. That's why the pins are shaped the way they are. The only difference is that their balls are nuclear-powered and have high-definition laser-sighting. The ball returns are reminiscent of the procession of the moons of Meepzor.

    I remember when the Texas Instruments Ti-30 calculator with scientific notation was introduced. Everybody had one, and they wouldn't let you use them on tests. Nowadays, they recommend that you use a calculator on tests.

    I also remember in college, when they wouldn't let you type papers on the computer -- had to actually be typewritten (I had an IBM Selectric). Now, they insist that all papers be done on the word processor -- and that electronic versions be posted to the instructor's web page for easier grading.

    Default Don't People Grow Old Gracefully Anymore??

    Tell me these two entertainers didn't have the same plastic surgeon! Guess who they are??





    Don't soak your balls in Listerine!! Don't even soak your bowling balls in Listerine!!


    Not only will it destroy the wonderful fragrance that ALL STORM BALLS HAVE,,,, it will transform them into what's PICTURED ABOVE! One thing maybe both entertainers have in common,,,, ((( I have heard that Their Plastic Surgeon Soaks his privates in Listerine also!)))

    I even think its listed on the bottle under, ( How not to Use Listerine).

    Plastic Surgery, did help in the case of one Singer I know ,,,, shown below. But for most,,,, its money that could have been spent on something that could enhance your life, ,,,, ,,, Like,,, Bowling balls!



    We miss you Michael!!

    One lovely summer day in 1948, a
    Swiss amateur-mountaineer and inventor decided to take his dog for a nature hike. The man and his faithful companion both returned home covered with burrs, the plant seed-sacs that cling to animal fur in order to travel to fertile new planting grounds. The man neglected his matted dog, and with a burning curiosity ran to his microscope and inspected one of the many burrs stuck to his pants. He saw all the small hooks that enabled the seed-bearing burr to cling so viciously to the tiny loops in the fabric of his pants. George de Mestral raised his head from the microscope and smiled thinking, "I will design a unique, two-sided fastener, one side with stiff hooks like the burrs and the other side with soft loops like the fabric of my pants. I will call my invention 'velcro' a combination of the word velour and crochet. It will rival the zipper in its ability to fasten."

    Mestral's idea met with resistance and even laughter, but the inventor 'stuck' by his invention. Together with a weaver from a textile plant in France, Mestal perfected his hook and loop fastener. By trial and error, he realized that nylon when sewn under infrared light, formed tough hooks for the burr side of the fastener. This finished the design, patented in 1955. The inventor formed Velcro Industries to manufacture his invention. Mestral was selling over sixty million yards of Velcro per year. Today it is a multi-million dollar industry.

    Not bad for an invention based on Mother Nature.
    My readings reached the same story, but dated it in 1941.

    Bardeen, Brattain and ShockleyThe scientists that were responsible for the 1947 invention of the transistor were: John Bardeen, Walter Brattain, and William Shockley. Bardeen, with a Ph.D. in mathematics and physics from Princeton University, was a specialist in the electron conducting properties of semiconductors. Brattain, Ph.D., was an expert in the nature of the atomic structure of solids at their surface level and solid-state physics. Shockley, Ph.D., was the director of transistor research for Bell Labs.

    The First Transistor Their original patent name for the transistor was: “Semiconductor amplifier; Three-electrode circuit element utilizing semiconductive materials.” In 1956, the group was awarded the Noble Prize in Physics for their invention of the transistor. In 1977, John Bardeen was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

    Lillenfeld invented the transistor and patented it in 1925.

    When his patent expired, the Bell labs group re-patented it in 1947.

    its a WELL KNOW FACT, Mr. Fact checker,, ( wow your a trip you know it), that Time travel is going on at the present time, and many of the inventions that we THINK were invented at a certain TIME and PLACE, are in reality being manipulated by the future, for reasons THEY seem Fit!

    MIKE,,, they ( The Time Lords) might even have MORE knowledge, then YOU!! ( I know hard to believe,,, but then Aslan beating you scratch in bowling blew Me AWAY! Did it really happen,,,, or was that make-believe, facts guy! ( I know bad oil, da,,,,da,,,da,,, why didn't you adjust,,, throw a straight ball, surely your advanced knowledge and skills knew how to do that???????

    MIKE,,, do you EVEN know how to HAVE FUN??

    Facts mean nothing in reality! Reality is not absolute, its all a matter of perspective! Facts are being manipulated by the future, based on a NEED FOR YOU not to know! Dates and times are being changed at such and alarming rate, that some escape the Time Loards detection! YOU ARE reading such data!!

    Chill out,,,, believe what ever is IMPORTANT to you MIKE, and take a deeeeeep breath.....

    ARE YOU COMING TO Vegas ???

    Rob and me, are taking on YOU and Aslan... should be interesting.



    TIME TRAVEL IS REAL!!!!!! GET OVER IT!!!!

    I almost HATE TO PASS the below KNOWLEDGE on to YOU MIKE ,,, but I feel a need to let you in on this REALITY!!!
