That Last Story Has Nothing To Do With Science

After watching a day of

College Football,

my

Brain

needs some

Science

to bring down my

Male Testosterone Levels.

Besides,

my favorite team,

the

Wisconsin Badgers

beat the

Northwestern Wildcats

today twenty-one to seven.

Go Badgers!

If you are into

Science

as much as I am,

here are some of the stories I have been reading

and I hope you will find them interesting too!

NASA's Curiosity rover eyes goofy little meteorite on Mars.
by Amanda Kooser @akooser for CNET 
"Imaginative people have seen everything from fish to Donald Trump's face on Mars. Some Mars scientists took a look at a strange lumpy object seen by NASA's Curiosity rover and dubbed it Egg Rock. Egg Rock appears to be a small nickel-iron meteorite, estimated to be no larger than 1.6 inches (40 millimeters) wide. On Mars, iron meteorites dominate the small number of meteorites that have been found. Part of the explanation could come from the resistance of iron meteorites to erosion processes on Mars," NASA noted in 2014 when Curiosity discovered a large iron meteorite named Lebanon."

Pyramid scheme: Mysterious chambers found hidden in ancient Giza structure.
on RT 

"Two scientists say they’ve uncovered hidden chambers in the Great Pyramid of Giza. Discovered using an advanced X-ray technique the chambers are completely isolated from all other tombs and passages in the 4,500 year-old structure. The discovery was made by Scan Pyramids, a research project involving universities and advanced scientific instruments. Using a combination of thermography, 3D simulation and radiography imaging, the team discovered anomalies in the structure indicating the presence of holes beneath the rock."

Report: 2Moons may be hiding in the rings of Uranus.

by Mary Bowerman for USA Today on MSN News.com

"Two small dark moons might be hiding in the rings of Uranus, according to a new report. 
Researchers from the University of Idaho in Moscow reexamined data collected during the Voyager 2 flyby of Uranus in 1986 and discovered what appeared to evidence of two small moons, according to the paper, which has been accepted for publication in the Astronomical Journal. Uranus, which has dark, narrow rings, is known to have 27 moons, many of which were discovered from data collected when the Voyager 2 passed by in 1986."

The Names Have Been Changed To Protect My Innocence

In life,

sincerity is everything.

If you can fake that,

you've got it made!

When I first met my wife

and we were getting intimate on one glories sexy night,

she kept screaming out the name,

"Chuck Norris, Chuck Norris!"

Well,

my ego was pretty large right about then.

She was comparing me to

Chuck Norris.

Later,

after we were cuddling,

I asked her about it.

She made a face,

looking like she was disgusted,

and told me,

"I was asking Chuck to save me from this horrible fate!"

I saw my blonde neighbor standing outside her house the other day,

with her hands tightly over her ears,

so I asked her why?

She told me she was trying to hold on to a thought!

You know,

living next to

Lake Michigan

back in the day,

I used to be a

Lifeguard.

Until some blue kid got me fired!

I went to a

Strip Club

the other night

and the dancers there had the worst

Stripper Names.

They were

Edna,

Bertha,

Gertrude,

and

Walter!

I’m on that new diet where you eat vegetables

and drink wine with every meal.

I lost 10 pounds

and my driver’s license!

Why Should I Die? Chapter 1

   Walking down an authentic oak wood corridor floor, which is seldom touched by synthetic leather shoes or shoes of any kind, Peter Blakely asks, “Do you know what this is all about?”

    Peter is heading towards the Corporate Board Room for an emergency called meeting with his assistant. He is one of the few men living today still courageous enough and defiant enough to keep his flesh and blood, personal Secretary, even with the Unified Earth Tribunal forbidding it.

    It's a pure non-romantic association with a beautiful woman, who would have been described in an earlier time, before your thoughts and speech patterns were monitored by your cortex implants for indiscretions or variance on the approved Political Correct Statement & Thought List, as a blond bombshell.

    Peter's preference has always been different though, which is why this association is non-romantic.

   His Secretary has been working with him since the early days. Right after he and his best friend Jonas played on the same recreational softball team after leaving High School.

    The two men first got together to play sports after finding out that they were quite alike, enjoyed the same type of music, and both saying that they would never work for anyone but themselves.
   Then the two men started a small business venture together, a Pizzeria. With their first employee being, the blond bombshell.
   Billionaires all, by the time they were between the ages of twenty-five and thirty.
   They didn't have to create one of those dot-com businesses, so fashionable at the time, to become rich. It was Jo's uncanny ability to predict World trends, economic indicators, outcome of sporting events, war, and even peace between Nations that resulted in these two men and Peter's Secretary staying together.

   With his insights alone, Jonas Van Hause became the World's first, double Trillionaire!

   Peter once asked his mentor why he and his secretary were kept on board of all his business ventures, since they clearly never had the foresight that Jo had.

   His answer, “Do you really believe, anyone in my position, could have any real friends? We have been friends since High School. And that means a lot to me”

   After that, Peter knew why his friend has always shown him the respect and courtesy he never afforded anyone else. Why he was the only human being left, besides Jo himself, with the sort of freedom one could only talk about behind a “Curtain of Cerebral Cortex Monitor Manipulators.”

   Today, Jonas Van Hause is more powerful than any President, King, or any other useless name given to the Heads of States pretending to control the Nation they represent.
   Mr. Van Hause is the Chief Executive Officer and the Founder of Hause Technologies, Products, and Permits to Life Incorporated.
   The only significant business left running the World.

   “No Sir,” says Peter's assistant, walking with him, stride for stride. “I knew it had to be something very important. Chairman Hause appeared in my head directly this morning instead of creating the usual Nanobot alarm clock outside my chambers to request your presence.”

   After a moment of silence, because of no verbal response by Peter, the now one hundred eighty something year old dyed blond woman continues her narrative of events.
   “He Nano-Transported everyone else directly out of their slumbers, to the Board Room no matter what type of condition or position they were in!”

   “I bet that took the starch out of Mr. Chang's shorts!” joked Peter. Still preferring to use the old fashion form of speech instead of his Broca Brain implants to communicate.

   “To say the least. Mr. Chang should have been arrested for the direct violation of physical contact with a member of the opposite sex for procreation! Under the new law, which he himself wrote,
states that all births will be genetically manufactured by the Permits to Life Corporation.”

   “I know the law my dear.” He answers. A little annoyed by his secretary's persistence over the years to consistently remind him of every little detail of every little thing that he needed to know before a Board meeting.

   It has saved him from embarrassment from time to time, but right now, it was a little annoying.

   Coming to the end of the corridor the chamber doors open in a grand sweeping motion.
   In the massive Cathedral type hall beyond, an echo is heard, “Come in, come on in Peter and Miss Shelly. Sit down. We've been waiting for you both.”

   “Sorry sir, I did not mean to have you or the other Board of Trustees wait for us.” Says a humbling Peter.

   “Nonsense, these men and women could learn a thing or two from you both. Like being gracious, thankful, and selfless individuals as you two are.”

   “Sir, I see the nanobots are busy clothing all the Members of the Board except for Mr. Chang. Can we please forgive any indiscretion; he might have shown this one time so all the Trustees are on equal footing. He is of the age, older than you or I of course, when human touch was still desirable.”

   Ever since Jo Van Hause's family was killed by a drunk driver, it has been against the law to drink alcohol and drive a gasoline guzzling vehicle.
   Soon afterwards, since he could no longer feel the touch of his beloved wife, Van Hause created the “Permits to Life” division of his Company. So now, supposedly, no one can touch a member of the opposite sex and all births are genetically produced.

   Since the World has gone into a two class system, it is only the wealthy who seem to obey the rules though.
   Besides, the labor force needs an outlet of some kind and if the peasants don't abuse the privilege, he'll let it slide.

   On the up side, with illegal births, the powerful rich have a steady stream of workers born each year. And when those unlawful groups of people reach the working age of sixteen, they can be shipped out to the new mining colonies on the moons surrounding Jupiter.

   Using an actual labor force is also beneficial, in that any intelligent second class revolutionary citizen, who has enough computer savvy to reprogram nanobots, won’t be able to start his own empire out there on Jupiter. 
   The fallout from the destruction of the old Mars colony, after they had claimed independence, proves that point.
   Even when the life expectancy, is only seventy years for these miners, it's a better choice than the new prison camps on Mars.

   Mr. Van Hause declares, for all to hear, while searching out each individual's eyes. “That, my friends, is why I value your opinion so much. You still care about others before yourselves."
   Few of the eyes are opened though.

   “As soon as you two sit down, we will begin, and Mr. Chang can have a rush order on his clothing.”

   Without anybody hearing a word, a white cloth starts forming around the lower torso of Mr. Chang. Two chairs stationed on either side of the Chairman, pull out from the walnut table used in a traditional Board Room setting. With the final act of showmanship, that of the Chairman's throne, as it begins to elevate higher, looking larger than the rest of the seating, so he is head and shoulders above all the Board Members.

This is,

The End To Chapter One Of,

Why Should I Die?

I Really Like The Part Where I Say

Since I am of mostly

German
descent,

with a lot of

Irish

 and

French Canadian

 blood to boot,

Wednesday,

in my opinion,

is in honor of

Woden.

Or the

Day Of Odin.

Normally,

I like to

Rant and Rave

on

Wodens-Day,

about all the injustices I see in this

World.

Or,

I perceive them to be injustices.

I know it's all a matter of whose

Point-Of-View

you are talking about.

That is why I am trying my hardest to stay away from ranting every week about the up coming election.

So what do I rant about?

I know.

My youngest son!

He asked me to write a speech for him,

for

English Class.

I know what you are thinking,

so what,

I always had my

High School Sweetheart

do my homework for me

and look how I turned out.

Wait,

maybe that's a bad example.

To make a short story longer,

I wrote this speech for him;

I would like to talk to you today about, why, as High School students, we should be interested about the up-coming elections. Everyone here knows who the Presidential Candidates are. When the time comes, we will be able to vote on the next Presidential Race and then we will have a say on who will become President. But today, there is a lack of enthusiasm in this November 8th election, because most of the people who are able to vote, don’t like either candidate. It is said that a lot of the younger voters, 18 through 29 years of age, might not even vote this year. This would be a terrible mistake. There is a lot more at stake than electing the President. The voters of California have to vote for one of the two Senators who represent our state in Washington. Here, in the 50^th Congressional District, they are voting for a House of Representative, Members of the State Assembly, County Supervisor, and City Council Members. There are 18 Measures on this year’s ballot and some of them will affect us immediately. For some of you, it will be Measure 56, which will increase the price you pay for cigarettes. For all of us, it will be Measure S which increases the Sales Tax in Temecula from 8 percent to 9 percent. According to an article by Paul Jacobs in the Valley News, on October 29^th, 2016, Measure S is not to support Firefighters and other Emergency Services, and I quote, “the big lie is that Measure S is a general tax that can be spent however the city council members desire. Not a penny is dedicated for emergency services. Temecula’s projected shortfall is a few million dollars in a few years only if nothing is done to curb spending. Measure S is an obscene money grab from one of the richest cities in the Inland Empire. The irony of city leaders sitting in their luxurious $70-million-dollar Civic Center are perplexed by projected budget shortfalls, is priceless.” Which means, we will pay a little bit more for everything we buy, because Measure S will give the City Council Members a way out of their projected budget shortfalls. Now if you are one of those people who already think, “My one vote will not count,” you would be wrong. Especially in voting for State, County, and City Officials. On voting for the many Measures that are on the Ballot every two to four years. And on local Tax increases. My Great Grandfather was a local Politician in the city where my Dad grew up. The very first time he ran for public office, my Grandmother and Grandfather were so sure he was going to win, they didn’t bother to vote. When the election results came in, my Great Grandfather lost by one vote. If my Grandparents had voted, he would have won by one vote. Voting is a privilege you get when you become eighteen years old. It is an important one that we should all use wisely. Thank you.

He didn't like it,

so wrote his own.

See,

I was helping him,

to do his own

Homework 

anyways!

This is,

I Really Like The Part Where I Say,

"There are 18 Measures on this year’s ballot and some of them will affect us immediately. For some of you, it will be Measure 56, which will increase the price you pay for cigarettes."

Helping My Kids With Their Education

Yes,

you in the back.

Do you have a question?

"TwoBuckHowie, what did Ivy Mike ever do for us?"

Good question.

Not much.

I'll let my good friends,

and they don't even know who I am,

at

Wikipedia

explain it to you.

"Ivy Mike was the codename given to the first test of a full-scale thermonuclear device, in which part of the explosive yield comes from nuclear fusion. It was detonated on November 1, 1952 by the United States on the island of Elugelab in Enewetak Atoll, in the Pacific Ocean, as part of Operation Ivy. It was the first full test of the Teller-Ulam design, a staged fusion device. Due to its physical size and fusion fuel type (cryogenic liquid deuterium), the Mike device was not suitable for use as a weapon; it was intended as an extremely conservative proof of concept experiment to validate the concepts used for multi-megaton detonations. A simplified and lightened bomb version (the EC-16) was prepared, and scheduled to be tested in operation Castle Yankee, as a backup in case the non-cryogenic "Shrimp" fusion device (tested in Castle Bravo) failed to work; that test was cancelled when the Bravo device was tested successfully, making the cryogenic designs obsolete."

After that test,

the so called

Cold War

began in earnest!

1947 thru 1991

"TwoBuckHowie, what does earnest mean?

Don't they teach you anything in school anymore?

Oh,

that's right.

It is no longer the responsibility of the

School

to teach your kids anything.

As

Parents,

it is your job to have them counting to

100

and saying their

ABC's

before they start

Kindergarten.

As a

Parent,

I was told that I needed to spend at least

1 Hour

a day,

with each child of mine,

helping them with their

Education.

Let's see.

I have

7 Kids

and when they were in

School,

I was working

45 to 50 Hours

a week,

5 to 6 Days

a week.

Oh,

sorry.

I get carried away sometimes when I think of the

Pompous Attitude

of the local

High School

when an

Administrator

at the school once said to me,

"If you can't spend that much time with your kids, helping them with their education, maybe you shouldn't live here in Temecula!"

Earnest [ur-nist]

adjective

1. serious in intention, purpose, or effort; sincerely zealous:

an earnest worker.

2. showing depth and sincerity of feeling:

earnest words; an earnest entreaty.

3. seriously important; demanding or receiving serious attention.

noun

4. full seriousness, as of intention or purpose:

to speak in earnest.
