Yeah, a family member of mine was in a cult lead by a person who had everyone believing they were a reincarnated sun god… and there were invisible planets travelling through the solar system on a collision course with earth, and aliens… aliens living under the ocean near Japan, and they were thinking of taking over the world in response to Fukushima… I lost touch with her when she was grabbing shovels and heading to the hills to live in a region that had been calculated as ‘too far for the non-believers to make it following a tsunami’…

Just take the your copy of the original movie DVD and say you already own a license for it and demand to be let in for free

It is funny how fascinated we have become with politics while it is this stupid theatre. I would prefer have the Government do a good job so I don’t need to think about them at all

When I was young my Dad bought me some mercury home from work… I loved how it moved when I shook the bottle and the weight of it.

When I had my own kids I didn’t want it around, so our local council had set up a event where you could dispose of household liquids like old paints and solvents, so I took it down. When I drove up, the guy asked me what I was disposing of so I said mercury. It was bizarre. I was told to stay in the car and a guy came out of a shed in a full hazmat suit with one of those pairs of metal tongs to retrieve it from me.

I remember Dad telling me that miners used to collect gold pan tailings in mercury and then of a night they would hollow out a potato and put the mercury in, and then put that in the camp fire… it would burn off the mercury and leave a little ingot of gold.
