| The whole population of the planet could be housed in comfort in a building 2 miles high the size of the Isle of Wight. A high speed transport system could provide for people to nip across to the other side of the world for an "away day". It's all a matter of dealing with the "authoritarians" who ar... |

| I find it interesting that there seemed to be a "change of attitude" towards Aspies when the world economy went bonk. Previously we were these fascinatingly eccentric people with amazing talents - maybe the NTs are "blaming us" for the way things have gone? There's even be a "hint" that Universoty l... |

| Anagrams are nothing more than coincidental arrangements of letters. There is no meaning or significance to the various words that can be formed. There is no valid reason to believe otherwise. My name anagrams to 'Devil raped Satan' ... this is of no significance, of course. I once had a girl-frien... |

A serial killer is found guilty of killing 17 women. The judge sentences him to spend 13 years being trained to be a hospital consultant.
There's no such thing as a compassionate serial killer. |

| The human brain is actually computing at a much faster rate than scientists usually claim ... billions of times faster. What scientists are "measuring" is one of the brain's "outer levels" - as one goes deeper things speed up. Man's knowledge of his "thinking machine" has so far only just "scratched... |

In it he works out the exact fime., to a fraction of a second, that Jesus's heart stopped beating when... |

| In several places in the bible people are encouraged to "believe on the name of Jesus Christ". This set me thinking ... maybe there is something "special" about this name. Eventually I discovered what it was: IESOUS CHRISTOS, the Greek name of Jesus, is an ANAGRAM. What this "holy name" anagrams to ... |
