In the 1984 movie "Neverending story" the swamp of sadness scene with Artax took 2 and a half weeks to complete.

It was something that traumatized a whole lot of people. I'm surprised it only got rated PG.

I didn't learn this today, but in the bible the only place where people celebrate by giving gifts to one another is in revelation where they kill the prophets.

What about the gifts of the three wise men in celebration of finding the Messiah, the gifts to Solomon celebrating his wisdom, and every mentioned wedding?

Did the wise men head back with gifts from the Messiah? In all those examples the gifts were one way.

Ah, I see. I didn't account for the fact that it is an exchange. I think this is because until the end times, God gives gifts without expecting anything in return so that when people are joined in perfection then they can finally give back and forth without feeling inadequate.

Uranium tooth pastes

Stuff on the toothpaste tube says
"What does Doramad do? Through its radioactivity, it increases the defenses of teeth and gums. The cells are charged with a new vigorous life energy, which inhibits bacteria in their destructive ability. Hence the exquisite prevention and healing effect on gum diseases. Polishes enamel to the softest shiny white. Prevents tartar approach. Good foam, new taste, pleasant, mild and refreshing. Use extensively."

And on the other side it's"Special biological healing effects by radium rays. A thousand times medically prescribed and recommended."

Funny back story

During the German military administration in occupied France during World War II, a group of German scientists stole all the thorium they could while in occupied France. The Alsos Mission thought they were using the heavy elements for the refinement of uranium to be used in an atomic bomb. However, after Allied agents captured and investigated a German chemical company's representative, it was revealed that the scientists were not seeking to develop an atomic bomb at all; rather, they were attempting to make thorium toothpaste.

According to physicist Samuel Goudsmit in a 1947 issue of Time, the German chemical company's officials had realized that, at the end of the war, they would no longer be able to make money producing wartime equipment such as gas masks or carbons for searchlights, and they decided cosmetic products would be their best option for future sales. One of the company's officials already had a patent for thorium toothpaste (likely unrelated to Doramad) and, influenced by marketing for Pepsodent "irium" toothpaste in the United States, the company sought to gain a monopoly on all the thorium they could find in order to produce as much thorium toothpaste as they could after the war, which led to the company's scientists stealing all of France's thorium. The identity and fate of the chemical company, the fate of the stolen thorium, and whether or not the thorium toothpaste was actually produced after the war is unknown.[4]

I learned that System of a Down's song Toxicity the first line "Conversion software version 7.0" is a reference to the mass amount of CDs that AOL used to send out. When they were in the studio recording it was 5.0 and by the time they finished CDs started showing up for version 7.0

TIL: multiple millionaire and billionaires have began building apocalypse bunkers in preparation for the "Event" something that should occur around 2029-2038. The asteroid Apophisis supposed to approach earth around that time, and the 5th turning will be concluded. The 5 turning is a reference to the cycle of empire. The Strauss-Howe generational theory, developed by William Strauss and Neil Howe, describes a recurring cycle of same-aged groups with specific behavior patterns that change every 20 years.1 The theory argues that historical events are associated with recurring generational personas (archetypes) and that the development of human civilization is heavily affected by and mirrors the transition between different generations of human beings. According to the theory, history can be roughly divided into periods of 80 to 100 years.0 The theory explains how generations evolve and how they affect our society, from hundreds of years in the past to decades in the future. This honestly wouldn't be relevant, except that it's a trend globally.

Also scientists are attempting to bio engineer trees to absorb 3x the amount of co2 and glow at night. Japan and Korea have been using pale blue lights on their highway in an attempt to keep night drivers awake, as blue light stimulates a certain nerve. It has also been shown to keep people calm as the same lights have been deployed in crime dense areas, contributing to a sharp decrease in crime, the policing in the area also contribute.

I also discovered that my problems of losing weight are due to the chemical composition of American food. The persevatives are causing you to have trouble losing weight. I import a lot of food, and grow my own veggies. I mix homemade fruit syrup into soda water.
