Deep Stoner Thoughts

But it seems sensible to me that WE ARE the Big Bang.

there may well be an "edge", beyond which there are no planets/stars etc; but given how long ago the "big bang" occurred (if that was indeed the starting point) there is no way in hell we will ever get there & see blankness like in the "Star Trek" episode where there was nothing visible outside. too big of a head start by far...

If there is a Bob and Bobby, and Rob and Robby, where isn't there a Bobert?

Should be a Billiam as well.

Ever been WAAAY into backcountry? Plenty of Boberts and Billiams in HickTown...

As long as they don't call Cannabis, Bannabis.

that is possible, but i think humanity thinks way too highly of itself already. we need taken down a notch or twenty for the planets (and our)sake...the Pope threatened Galileo with death for denying (and proving) that the known universe revolved around the earth, you know. geocentricity, huh...

Double points for confronting humanity's sense of self-serving self-importance.

Recent science discussions cite micro-organisms in space as likely/potentially being the source of, or more involved with, the Big Bang.

From my observations, there's plenty of 'less-developed or evolved' species whose relationship with nature is far superior and more karmically correct than us 'well-developed and technologically advanced' humans.. We seem, by definition, to be an invasive species, by any other name. We touch all the bases of that definition.

When I was a child my grandfather would amuse me by producing small amounts of acid based explosives which I would seal into small lengths of glass tubing I would toss out the window on the ride home.

Early childhood, drive-by bomber training. Cool!!

Every kid should have such memories.

We'd tape M-80s to the bottom of Frisbees and toss them. Then married the coat-hangar version of the Estes model rocket launcher w/ plywood launch pad, mounted to the camera tri-pod, and we had a directional missile launcher.

These days such antics might result in Feds on the porch. Back then it was just "kids having fun."

we used to make home-made crude gunpowder & spell words with it on neighborhood sidewalks & light it. not coming up, ever... "F -YOU, JONES!" LOL! cut up 8 M-80s once, put all of the powder into a plastic bottle & set it off. MUCH bigger explosion than we expected.

When we lived in Greece, as teenagers, my older brother decided he was going to learn to make firecrackers.

My father gave him some formulas, and we went into the area of downtown Athens where all the small shops are.

Potassium Perchlorate ? NO PROBLEM !!

We weren't the only ones. My younger brother made a mistake with another firecracker, made by another amateur. The fuse was too fast and fortunately it didn't explode, just burned his hand.


Actually, it's amazing what people can buy in the US. Nitroglycerine & NitroCellulose, over the counter.

ran into fast fuse before too. M-80 fuses burned 4 times faster than normal. friend lost 3 fingers trying to throw one.

As a teenager in the 60's, I went into the old fashioned drug store with my list..and thought I was cool.

Told the pharmacist I wanted 5 lbs of potassium nitrate, 2 lbs. of powdered sulfur and a lb. of charcoal dust..

He gave me a look with a smile on his face as he sold them to me and told me to just be careful...

Wonder what would happen if I asked a pharmacist for these items today?

[Hank Hemp]

He'd tell you where they were.

I used ground up coal.

I'm trying to convince the management at the range to water the grass in the Black Powder shooting area.

out of the top 6 plant nutrients, they're spraying 3 of them all over the place. Not sure if that settles on the grass nearby but it must benefit some plants nearby somewhere.

top 6=

potassium nitrogen
sulfur

+ phosphorus, calcium, magnesium.

Is the Rotary Club a group of people that never switched to touch tone telephones?
