I have wondered about that too, Carol. I think they have a really deep emotional need for "New Age Mumbo Jumbo". Everyone needs something they can look down on, right? It's like how Republicans and Democrats NEED each other in order to find motivation to continue on. Quite fascinating.

Okay, here's another boring fact or two:

Fresh water freezes into a solid (called ice) if you lower the temperature to 0 degrees Celsius or below.

When you drop something, gravity makes it fall down...as long as it's heavier than air. Or...well, if it's in a vacuum, then it will fall down even if it isn't heavier than air. But vacuums are hard to find, except under controlled laboratory conditions.

Isn't this fun?
