The Short, Tongue-in-cheek Autobiography of Bill Watterson

Bill Watterson squandered a rather unremarkable childhood reading the comics in Chagrin Falls, Ohio. By the time he graduated from high school, his own primitive cartoons had appeared in the school newspaper and yearbook, and not a few stall doors of various boys' rooms.
At Kenyon College, fellow delinquents encouraged Watterson to pursue political cartooning. Watterson's chronicles of the Carter years proved to be amongst his most humorous work ever, the insights into foreign policy being especially laughable. In an effort to remedy this, Watterson majored in political science and, thanks to a friend with access to the school's computer, Watterson earned a degree in 1980.
A major Cincinnati daily immediately offered him a job as editorial cartoonist, but within a matter of months, the editor returned from the sanitarium and Watterson was fired.
Disillusioned, Watterson turned to comic strips. The next few years were not proud ones, and only a well-tuned, used Fiat kept Watterson from the law's grasp. Rejection slips and debts piled up, and eventually his parents sold him into slavery as a lay-out artist for a sleazy tabloid shopper. There, in the dank and windowless basement of a convenience store, submitting to the idiot whims of a maniacal tyrant, Watterson developed that carefree, happy-go-lucky view of life that so permeates all his cartoons.

central park is a standard example of landscape architecture

Landscape architecture is the design of outdoor and public spaces to achieve environmental, socio-behavioral, and/or aesthetic outcomes. It involves the systematic investigation of existing social, ecological, and geological conditions and processes in the landscape, and the design of interventions that will produce the desired outcome. The scope of the profession includes urban design,site planning, town or urban planning, environmental restoration, parks and recreation planning; green infrastructure planning and provision, all at varying scales of design, planning and management. A practitioner in the profession of landscape architecture is called a landscape architect.

"the cancer cure that accually worked"

Compiled by A. Walter
http://educate-yourself.org/cn/rifetimelinemay1998.shtml
May 1998

http://www.aceguru.com/Health/rife.htm

[Note from A. Walter: He discovered an effective cure for cancer and many other diseases. Was he the greatest hero of the century? Read on and see what happened. ]

1888 Born in Elkhorn, Nebraska.

1913 Married. Moves to San Diego. A man of varied interests: ballistics, racing auto constructions, optics and microscopy.

1915-1918. Serves in the Navy. Sent to investigate foreign laboratories by the U.S. Government.

1920 Begins to investigate the possibilities of electric treatment of diseases. Timken, owner of Timken Roller Bearing Co., and Bridges of Bridges Carriage Co., provide funds to establish a laboratory and to finance his research. Begins research on tuberculosis.

1922 Begins cancer research.

1929 October. Stock market crash. Two weeks later, Nov. 3, 1929, the San Diego Union carries an article announcing that Rife has built a microscope capable of staining living viruses with light to make them visible! (Today this is called bioluminescence.)

1931 Two men join Rife in his work: Dr. Arthur I. Kendall, Director of Medical Research at Northwestern University and Dr. Milbank Johnson of Pasadena Hospital. Dr. Alvin G. Frood, President of the American Association of Pathologists also becomes active in Rife's research.

1931 Nov. 22: L.A. Times announces the discovery of a "filterable typhoid bacillus" being light-stained and observed to "change back into non- filterable form", as seen through a powerful new microscope developed by Royal Raymond Rife that could directly observe living bacterium and viruses.

1932 May 3 & 4. Kendall speaks before the Assoc. of American Physicians at Johns Hopkins University telling of the preliminary successes with Rife's methods and treatments. Dr. Thomas Rivers, virologist and bac-teriologist, Director of the Rockefeller Institute -- a primary source of funding for medical research -- and Dr. Hans Zinsser, call Kendall a liar to his face in front of the assembled crowd.

1932 July 5-7. Dr. Edward C. Rosenow of the Mayo Clinic's Division of Experimental Bacteriology witnesses Rife's results and becomes a supporter.

1932 Nov. 30. Rife isolates the filtrable virus of carcinoma. "Angle of refraction (polarization) 12 3/16 degrees; length 1/15 micron; breadth 1/20 micron, color by chemical refraction red-purple." Pleomorphism also established.

1932 By end of the year "Rife can destroy the typhus bacteria, the polio virus, the herpes virus, the cancer virus and other viruses in culture and in experimental animals."

1933 Rife completes the "universal microscope." A resolution of 31,000 times and a magnification of 60,000 times.

1933 July. Dr. Karl Meyer, Director of the Hooper Foundation for Medical Research of UCSF joins Rife's team.

1934 Summer: The first cancer clinic using Rife technology. A special University of Southern California Medical Research Committee chaired by Milbank Johnson is formed to oversee the research. Committee members are: Whalen Morrison, Chief Surgeon of the Santa Fe Railway. George C. Dock, M.D. George C. Fischer, M.D., Children's Hospital of New York, Arthur I. Kendall, Dr. Zite, M.D., professor of pathology of Chicago University. Rufus B. Von Klein Schmidt, President of USC [University of Southern California].

Also in attendance:
Dr. James Couche of San Diego.
Dr. Carl Meyer, Ph.D. of the Hooper Foundation, SF.
Dr. Kopps of the Metabolic Clinic in La Jolla.

The clinic is held at the Scripps Institute in La Jolla, California. Sixteen terminally ill people are treated. Fourteen are cured in three months, the other two are cured in six months.

1935 Rife builds a smaller microscope that can be mass produced.

May - June: Dr. 0. Cameron Gruner of Montreal replicates Rife & Kendall's cancer pleomorphism.

June: Four insurance companies are interested in financing Rife pro- vided the International Cancer Foundation gave its approval. Dr. Mildred Schram, Secretary of the Foundation, after visiting Rife's lab, stipulates conditions for acceptance which have nothing to do with Rife's work. Rife doesn't have time to be sidetracked. Result: the Cancer Foundation never funds any of Rife's work.

September: A new version of the Rife Frequency Ray is completed. October: Drs. Walker & Meyer of The Hooper Clinic, SF, using Rife's microscope and "Beam Ray" replicate his cures.

November: Dr. Johnson opens a second clinic to test cures with the same incredible results as the first clinic.

1936 June 2: William Donner, President of the International Cancer Research Institute turns down Johnson's application for research funds.

1937 July: Rife moves into his new lab on Alcott St. in Point Loma, built for him by his sponsor, Henry Timkin

1937 September - May: Johnson's third clinic resulting in the same, identical cures. There is mounting pressure to go public. But Rife and his academic advisors, being cautious and recognizing the inevitable resistance from medical orthodoxy, are determined to gather as much irrefutable and massive statistical evidence as possible.

1937 Drs. Couche of San Diego, Gruner of Montreal are using Rifes Beam Ray with great success. In the fall Rife hires an engineer, Phil Hoyland, to help start a company for manufacturing the Beam Ray.

1938 The Rife Beam Ray Co. is in operation. Fourteen machines are built. Two go to England, one goes to Dr. Richard Hamer of the Paradise Valley Sanitarium, one to Dr. Arthur Yale, two to Arizona doctors, and eight to Southern California doctors. Dr. Hammer cures an 82-year-old from Chicago of terminal cancer. Through this man, Morris Fishbein, head of the AMA in Chicago learns of Rife and his work. Fishbein visits Rife. Wants to buy in. Rife and his associates turn him down.[This creates Fishbein's prime revenge motivation for targeting Rife for indictment and the ultimate destruction of his work]

1938 The J.C Burnett Laboratory in New Jersy is burnt to the ground. Burnett's wife is a member of the Timken family. The lab is burned while Burnett and his wife are visiting Rife!

The AMA indicts Rife for fraudulent medical practices.

1938 June 12: Opening day of Rife's trial. During his testimony, Rife is so nervous he cannot stop shaking. A doctor recommends he take a drink to calm himself. Rife's alcoholism begins.

During the trial and afterwards the AMA visits all doctors involved with Rife. "Those who didn't stop using the Frequency Instruments lose their medical license. Dr. Hamer quickly returns his instrument. Dr. Gruner returns his. Dr. Couche defies the AMA and his license is re- voked. Many other doctors associated with Rife turn their backs on him including Drs. Drood, Rosenow, & Meyer. Rife nevertheless wins the case. The AMA pays off Kendall in Baltimore "about" $200,000. He goes to Mexico,

1940 Kendall dies.

1944 Milbank Johnson dies under suspicious circumstances. Two federal inspectors conclude that he was likely poisoned. Reputedly he was to present the long delayed Rife findings to the AMA the following day. All Rife's records kept by his academic committee are destroyed. The committee disbands.

1946 Rife's drinking forces him to sell off his lab piece by piece. He is committed for "alcohol rehabilitation."

1948 Drs. Virginia Livingston-Wheeler & Eleanor Alexander-Jackson, micro- biologists in Philadelphia prove that the cancer virus "is in actuality a pleomorphic bacterium."

1949 Dr. Virginia Livingston becomes the head of New Rutgers Presbyterian Laboratory in Newark, NJ.

1949 June 6: Morris Fishbein is ousted by the AMA at its Atlantic city convention. Reason: years of advertising fraud and fund stealing.

1950 Rife is released from rehabilitation and returns to work. He forms a partnership with John Crane, an engineer/scientist. Crane "re-invents" the Beam Ray and hires Verne Thomson, an electronics expert with the San Diego police force, to help construct the new machines.

Dr. Irene Corey Diller of the Institute for Cancer research in Philadelphia isolates fungus agents from cancer growths. Unknowingly she has replicated Rife and Gruner's work. She sets up a symposium in New York in order to announce her discovery. It is killed by Dr. Cornelius P. Rhoads, the head of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.

Dr. James Hillman of RCA Labs in Princeton. NJ, later confirms the Livingston-Wheeler-Gruner-Rife pleomorphism.

1953 Dr. Diller publishes her discovery: Studies of Fungoid Form Found in Malignancy. Dr. Livingston-Wheeler presents her own discoveries to the 6th International Congress of Microbiology in Rome. Sep. 10: The Washington Post reports. "The New York Academy of Medicine immediately discounts the announcement." Dr. Rhoads of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center stops all funds for the Rutgers-Presbyterian Hospital Laboratory. The lab is closed, putting Dr. Livingston-Wheeler out of business.

1954 Dr. Livingston-Wheeler moves to San Diego, taking a job with a clinic. The Committee on Cancer Diagnosis and Therapy of the National Research Council "evaluate" Rife's discoveries and conclude that "they couldn't work." (Please note: never at any point, and to this date, no orthodox cancer agency has tested Rife's work.)

Rife, under Crane's insistence, copyrights a description of his cancer cure.

1958 Jan: A group of Salt Lake City doctors begin using the Rife Frequency machine. In May the Salt Lake City Medical Board forces them to stop using it.

The California Public Health Dept. holds a hearing. A Frequency Instrument had been provided for testing to the Palo Alto Detection Lab., the Kalbfeld Lab., the UCLA Medical Lab. and the San Diego Testing Lab. All declared that it was safe to use. Result: The AMA Board under the Calif. Director of Public Health, Dr. Malcolm Merrill declares it unsafe and bans it from the market.

1958 July 14. Or Virginia Livingston-Wheeler is the first speaker at the 1st International Congress of Microbiology and Leukemia in Antwerp, Belgium. She discovers that the pleomorphism of cancer is widely accepted in Europe while ignored in the U.S.

1958 November: After six months of testing Rife's technology, Dr. Robert Stafford of Dayton, Ohio, presents his findings to the Executive Committee of the General Practice Section of the Montgomery County Medical Society of the AMA. The committee is impressed. They set up a research committee from Dayton's most influential doctors.

1959 Dr. Clara Fonti of Milan, Italy "innoculates herself with a bacterial culture of cancer. She grows a tumor, later surgically removed. Thereby proving pleomorphism as a factor in human cancer.

Dr. Livingston-Wheeler meets her neighbor Royal R. Rife.

1959-1960 Dr. Livingston & Rife work together. She arranges for the Institute of Cancer Research in Philadelphia to provide Rife with mice. Their view on pleomorphism are much the same. The only difference is that Dr. Livingston intends to develop a serum while Rife knows the virus dis-integrates under his Beam Ray.

1960 John Crane writes and copyrights a manual explaining how the Frequency Instrument is to be used. Dr. Stafford of Dayton suggests that he, Stafford, manufacture and distribute the machine in the USA. Crane decides to license the machine to prevent doctors from changing it, thus failing to get results. Ninety machines are distributed "for research and verification on notorized contracts."

1960 The AMA and the FDA strike. Crane's office is raided. $40,000 in equipment is taken along with all engineering data, research records and reports, pictures off the wall, private letters, invoices, tape recordings, electronic parts. All without a search warrant! Doctors who have the machines are visited and forced to give them up. Ordinary citizens who have begun experimenting personally are threatened. One woman is hospitalized from shock by the AMA raid.

Rife and Crane are arrested and released on bail. Rife, almost 73, unable to handle more abuse, goes into hiding in Mexico.

1961 Spring. John Crane's trial lasts 24 days. "The records and materials seized are not allowed to be used by Crane in his own defense. . . Rife's deposition is not permitted to be introduced." The foreman of the jury is an AMA doctor; the balance of the jury is screened to make sure they have no medical nor electronic knowledge. "No medical reports from the 30's and 40's are admitted. Neither are other doctor's reports. Nor is a Frequency Instrument demonstrated much less admitted into court. "The only medical opinion offered by the State of California is from Dr. Paul Shae who had been given a Frequency Instrument by the Public Health Department 2 months before the trial. Shea admits he never tried (it) or made tests to evaluate it. He simply examined it and decided that it had no curative powers and didn't lend itself to investigative use".

Crane is found guilty and sentenced to 10 years in prison. Later the State Supreme Court, on appeal, reverses two of the three counts against Crane "because no specific criminal intent had been proven." Crane spends three years and one month in jail. After Crane's imprisonment Dr. Stafford of Dayton is forced to give up his instrument and to give up medicine. A Salt Lake City Doctor's instrument was sabotaged and he was so hounded by the orthodox medical authorities that he commits suicide.

1962 Dr. Livingston has a heart attack. She recovers.

Kefauver amendments to the Food and Drug Act of 1938 grant to the FDA the right to determine if a drug is effective. Safety is no longer a prime consideration. Drug treatment effectiveness and safety is there-by taken out of the hands of the doctor and his patient.

1964 John Crane is released from prison. He begins the fight all over again. 1965 October: Crane submits an application to the Calif. Board of Public

Health for approval of the Frequency Instrument. "The application is made in the name of Rife Microscope Institute," John Crane, owner. The Health Department answers that Crane must first show the instrument to be effective.

Dr. Charles W. Bunner, Chiropractor, agrees to provide "proof of effectiveness." The Calif. Department of Health pays him a visit and forbids him to use the instrument, and present him with a court order to have it destroyed.

Dr. Les Drown, Chiropractor, provides a statement. An American Cancer Society representative subsequently forces him to "sign over" his Frequency Instrument or go to jail. (Rife's cancer discoveries are never patented.) Rife returns from Mexico.

1966 Dr. Livingston and her old colleague, Dr. Eleanor Alexander-Jackson present a paper at an American Cancer Seminar in Arizona. When Dr. Alexander-Jackson returns to Columbia University she discovers that she and her work have been terminated.

1968 Dr. Livingston and her husband open a clinic in San Diego.

1968-1983 They treat over 10,000 cancer patients utilizing her serum and a high immune-building diet. An 80-percent success rate. (The State of California Department of Health has subsequently tried to shut down her clinic. They have also outlawed the use of her serum. ---Personal communication from the Livingston Medical Center.)

1969 March 4: Rife signs ownership of his microscope over to John F. Crane. It is Crane who preserves all of Rife's work that remains.

1969 Nov. 5-8: Drs. Livingston, Alexander, Diller and Dr. Florence Seibert from the Veterans Administration Research Laboratory in Bay Pines, Florida present a paper: Microorganisms Associated with Malignancy.

1970 Oct. 30: Their paper is published.

1970 Rife dies. He has been hospitalized for intoxication. Records show he is given an extra (overdose) of Valium. A mixture of Valium and alcohol is lethal. He is 84.

1971 December 23: President Richard Nixon signs a $1.6 billion law to open the "war on cancer."

1972 Dr. Livingston publishes her first book: Cancer: A Breakthrough. She condemns the NCI for its misuse of money and "the use of people as guinea pigs for a 'surgery-radiation-chemotherapy' program dictated by special interests."

1973 The Supreme Court rules that the FDA "can decide without a hearing which evidence it would allow."

1980 "The AMA is found guilty by a U.S. Court of Appeals of 'conspiracy to restrain competition. . . New methods of health care have been discouraged, restricted and in some instances eliminated."'

1985 The Sloan-Kettering Cancer Institute finds the Rife-Livingstone-etc. organism (virus) in all blood cultures of cancer patients. They conclude that the organism comes from outside contamination and bury the report.

1984 Dr. Livingston publishes The Conquest of Cancer.

1985 By this time the National Cancer Institute is spending $1.2 billion dollars annually for cancer. This does not count the monies raised by the American Cancer Society.

1988 Rife Labs is formed to revitalize Rife's work.

1990 It is estimated that $50 billion dollars have been spent on the "War on Cancer." Twenty percent of this money is spent on actual research. Dr. Virginia Livingston-Wheeler dies.

1996 June: John Crane dies totally destitute in San Diego County. (Personal communication from the Cancer Research Organization.)

1998 May: Nothing has changed as of this writing. Rife Frequency Treatments are illegal except for experimental purposes. It reputedly cures AIDS but the frequencies are absolutely forbidden to be used even for experimental purposes in the United States only. The existence of the Black Field microscope continues to be denied by orthodox medicine as is the pleomorphism of bacteria/viruses. The suppression of alternative cancer treatments remain in full force and now also includes Hydrazine Sulfate.

Just last year the FDA raided and demolished the San Diego offices of American Biologics whose clinic in Tijuana uses alternate cancer treatments.

Terminator Vision: Check

Building a bionic eye

Peering into the future

Sep 30th 2009
From Economist.com

A contact lens that could put names to faces and guide soldiers in combat

University of Washington

SINCE the late 19th century, people with imperfect vision have been able to use contact lenses to improve their eyesight. In the early days these lenses were made of glass and could perform only simple visual corrections. Now they are usually made of plastic and can be moulded into the more complex shapes appropriate to those who suffer from astigmatism or who require bifocals. They can also be tinted, for people who wish to change the colour of their eyes. Yet the main purpose of even the most sophisticated contact lens remains what it always has been: to improve a person’s sight. That is about to change.

Researchers at the University of Washington, in Seattle, led by Babak Parviz, have incorporated electronic circuitry into a plastic lens, including light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for “on-eye” displays, transistors for computing, a radio for wireless communication and an antenna for collecting power from a radio source, such as a mobile phone, in a person’s pocket.

Making a “smart” lens like this is not easy. Electronic components are usually manufactured at temperatures which would melt plastic and are made of materials that do not naturally adhere to a contact lens’s plastic. Dr Parviz and his colleagues have therefore designed a lens that is peppered with small wells, ten microns deep, that are connected by a network of tiny metal wires. Each well is sculpted so that a component of a particular shape will fit snugly into it and, at its bottom, it contains a small amount of an alloy with a low melting-point. In addition, wells that will accommodate LEDs must be fitted with microlenses to focus the light from the LED in a way that the eye can cope with.

The components are manufactured individually and suspended in a liquid. This suspension is then washed over the lens, allowing the components to blunder into holes of the appropriate shape, where they stay put. The alloy is then gently heated, melting the alloy and connecting the components to the wires and thus to one another.

The researchers say that the resulting circuitry requires so little power that it does not produce enough heat to cause discomfort. And although Dr Parviz has not, himself, worn the lens, he has tested it on rabbits—and the animals do not seem to find it uncomfortable.

So far, the prototype’s display is rudimentary (in truth, it consists of but a single LED). However, Dr Parviz and his colleagues are working on a lens that can accommodate an eight-by-eight array of LEDs. They are also exploring a design which produces images using tiny shutters, in the manner of a liquid-crystal display.

As well as an LED, the prototype contains a small radio chip and antenna so that it can be powered without wires. The researchers will discuss the performance of their wireless-power system, which taps into the mobile-phone frequencies in the range 900-megahertz to 6-gigahertz range and draws about 100 microwatts of power, at a conference in Beijing in November.

What the display will show, of course, is up to the imagination—the name, perhaps, of someone the wearer has met but does not recall, or the street directions in an unfamiliar city. Or, perhaps, the quickest route to a target that needs destroying. For this sort of technology surely has military applications as well.

I am selling the mattress I lost my virginity on. Other than that its nothing special really. I guess it's pretty clean. We changed the sheets often, and I had air conditioning in the room so the sex never really got that sweaty. We never tried anal or anything nasty like that, so the mattress would be ok to let guests sleep on for sure. It's a queen, and I'm pretty firm on the price, but I guess i would accept offers that are reasonable. Thanks.

This is a very old article, and twin tests are the biggest evidence that homosexuality is at least partly genetic, but it's difficult to find good recent dialogue on "the gay gene" because the internet evangelicals have tried so hard to peg gayness as a choice, something that can be morally wrong, and are deeply threatened that it might not be a choice.

to this explanation i will add the following fact, which may or may not be remembered wrong from botany or maybe ecology: cherries are "drupes."

wikipedia sez:


Simple fruit

Simple fruits can be either dry or fleshy, and result from the ripening of a simple or compound ovary with only one pistil. Dry fruits may be either dehiscent (opening to discharge seeds), or indehiscent (not opening to discharge seeds).[13] Types of dry, simple fruits, with examples of each, are:
achene – (dandelion seeds, strawberry seeds)
capsule – (Brazil nut)
caryopsis – (wheat)
fibrous drupe – (coconut, walnut)
follicle – (milkweed, magnolia)
legume – (pea, bean, peanut)
loment
nut – (hazelnut, beech, oak acorn)

schizocarp – (carrot seed)
silique – (radish seed)
silicle – (shepherd's purse)
utricle – (beet)

Fruits in which part or all of the pericarp (fruit wall) is fleshy at maturity are simple fleshy fruits. Types of fleshy, simple fruits (with examples) are:
berry – (redcurrant, gooseberry, tomato, avocado)
stone fruit or drupe (plum, cherry, peach, apricot, olive)
false berry – Epigynous accessory fruits (banana, cranberry, strawberry (edible part).)
pome – accessory fruits (apple, pear, rosehip, saskatoon berry)
Aggregate fruit


Aggregate fruit

An aggregate fruit, or etaerio, develops from a flower with numerous simple pistils.[14] An example is the raspberry, whose simple fruits are termed drupelets because each is like a small drupe attached to the receptacle. In some bramble fruits (such as blackberry) the receptacle is elongated and part of the ripe fruit, making the blackberry an aggregate-accessory fruit.[15] The strawberry is also an aggregate-accessory fruit, only one in which the seeds are contained in achenes.[16] In all these examples, the fruit develops from a single flower with numerous pistils.
Some kinds of aggregate fruits are called berries, yet in the botanical sense they are not.


Multiple fruit

A multiple fruit is one formed from a cluster of flowers (called an inflorescence). Each flower produces a fruit, but these mature into a single mass.[17] Examples are the pineapple, edible fig, mulberry, osage-orange, and breadfruit.

In some plants, such as this noni, flowers are produced regularly along the stem and it is possible to see together examples of flowering, fruit development, and fruit ripening.

In the photograph on the right, stages of flowering and fruit development in the noni or Indian mulberry (Morinda citrifolia) can be observed on a single branch. First an inflorescence of white flowers called a head is produced. After fertilization, each flower develops into a drupe, and as the drupes expand, they become connate (merge) into a multiple fleshy fruit called a syncarpet.[18]
There are also many dry multiple fruits, e.g.
Tuliptree, multiple of samaras.
Sweet gum, multiple of capsules.
Sycamore and teasel, multiple of achenes.
Magnolia, multiple of follicles.



To summarize common types of fruit (examples follow in the table below):
Berry – simple fruit and seeds created from a single ovary
Pepo – Berries where the skin is hardened, like cucurbits
Hesperidium – Berries with a rind, like most citrus fruit
Epigynous berries(false berries) – Epigynous fruit made from a part of the plant other than a single ovary
Compound fruit, which includes:
Aggregate fruit – multiple fruits with seeds from different ovaries of a single flower
Multiple fruit – fruits of separate flowers, packed closely together
Other accessory fruit – where the edible part is not generated by the ovary

let's put this one to rest

Fox (animal), smallest member of the dog family, which also includes wolves, coyotes, jackals, and dogs. Foxes are characterized by short legs, an elongated narrow muzzle, erect triangular ears, thick fur, and a long bushy tail. Foxes are found throughout the Americas, Eurasia, and Africa, inhabiting mostly forest, chaparral, and desert regions. Most of the ten species of the genus to which the red fox belongs can adapt to diverse climates and habitats.

HOMR
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Simpsons episode
"HOMR"
Episode no. 257
Prod. code BABF22
Orig. airdate January 7, 2001
Show runner(s) Mike Scully
Written by Al Jean
Directed by Mike B. Anderson
Chalkboard "Network TV is not dead"
Couch gag The Simpsons are placed on the couch by the pneumatic transport tubes used on Futurama. Philip J. Fry (the protagonist from Futurama) is on the couch for a split second before he’s sucked up and replaced by Bart.

When the family visits the Sick, Twisted Animation Festival, [1] Homer discovers Animotion, a motion capture technology that enables a cartoon character to mimic a human's movements. After volunteering to demonstrate this technology, Homer decides that he likes it so much that he invests his life savings in the Animotion stock, despite being warned several times about the risks of stock ownership. The next day at the Nuclear Plant Homer checks the progress of his stock, satisfied that the Animotion stock went up. The next day, while watching the news he finds that Animotion has plunged to an all time low, and how this is very bad news for the company's only investor, Homer Simpson. Homer announces the situation to his family, but attempts to overshadow the issue with Lisa's "overusage of syrup." However this does not work as Marge eventually realizes what has been said. She is surprisingly more shocked than angry, but Homer makes a pathetic attempt to redeem himself by explaining that they still had enough money to buy a cowbell, which Homer had already bought. The cowbell however shatters. Later, Homer tries to sell Marge's uterus to "A rich jobless couple," but she refuses, insisting that Homer find some other way to pay off the debt. At the bar, he tells Barney and Moe about his troubles, and Barney suggests that Homer be a human guinea pig, stating how Barney himself earns money. It is revealed that due to side-effects of such drugs he now has a dozen ears growing out of his chest. Homer decides to take up on Barney's advice, and gets a job at a medical testing center. Homer goes through a multitude of tests and experiments, one of which made him temporarily blind. During one experiment, while commenting on Homer's stupidity, the doctors find a crayon lodged in Homer's brain from his childhood when he stuck sixteen crayons up his nose and was unable to sneeze out one of them. The crayon has been the cause of his life-long stupidity, although there have been many other causes pointed out in the series, e.g., the Simpson Gene, repetitive brain trauma as well as excessive drinking. Dr. Hibbert points out that his thumb must have covered the crayon every time, so it was never noticed. The scientists then say that if they remove the crayon, it could either increase his brainpower or just kill him. Homer, thinking it would increase his killing power, decides to have the operation.

After the crayon is removed, Homer's IQ goes up from 55 to 105 points, which allows him to form a bond with Lisa. With Homer's impressive intellect, he uses a mathematical hypothesis, in which he proves to Ned Flanders that there is no God. Worried about the evidence, Ned burns the piece of paper. However, Homer is already spreading his discovery by slipping his fliers onto automobiles. Homer then writes a report on the nuclear plant's safety, which results in the plant's shutting down, and the laying off of all employees. Homer's friends, initially thrilled to have a smarter Homer around, quickly reject him, and Homer is even burned in effigy at Moe's Tavern and knocked unconscious for his intellectual talk. At home, Lisa tries to explain with the aid of a graph that as intelligence increases, happiness decreases. Homer then drives to the Aztec theater to watch a romantic comedy, but gets knocked unconscious again and thrown out for criticizing the film's mediocrity. Wandering around, he miserably realizes that he is unwelcome in many places and decides to put a crayon back in his brain. He is referred by the medical testing center that removed the crayon to an unlicensed surgeon, who surprisingly turns out to be Moe. Meanwhile Lisa is seen drawing a heroic picture of her dad, and while reaching for a crayon, notices that it's missing from the box. She immediately suspects that Homer reinserted the crayon back up his nose. Working in his bar, Moe describes the procedure as "the old Crayola oblongata" (a reference to the medulla oblongata) and reinserts the crayon by pushing it up Homer's nose until he returns to his old stupidity (saying "Extended warranties! How can I lose?!"). He arrives home his old, dumb, self, which initially disappoints Lisa. However, she finds a letter Homer wrote to her before the surgery, explaining that he now understands what it is like to be smart like her, and how much more he appreciates her because of this. Instead of being upset over her father's decision, the episode ends with Lisa happily embracing him.

I'm watching the Jimmy Fallon show right now.  The Roots, G4 personality Morgan Webb, Ice T, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs...

I dunno I think this show just might be TOO hip.  He was just making a joke about the game Mafia Wars for the i Phone.  I mean how many people get that?

Also there's MONKEYS:

I was so confused by the crazies I just had to find out what they were talking about.  It's hard to argue with people who want to reserve the right to raise bigots for children, but as I've said before, that's what home-schooling is for.
