"He will have a very hard time resisting making a corrective comment or two about it to set me on the track back to reason and sanity... ;-D"

It seems the perpetrator has already figured out that his thesis is on shaky ground cloud. ☺

(What WOULD those clouds do if you followed wise Indian advice and left them alone? **grin**)

Now you want in impressive demonstration of mind power? Get some cloud to 'hold' in one shape for a few minutes. I'd pay to watch that....

What may have been missed in the vast collection was the deployment of magnets to complete the task?

Like research, Has mudcat placed too much attention on the brain, at the expense of the liver?

It's in your liver, not your brain?

Several of these subjects have been well discussed in the past.

Your mind is there for more than merely making a continual noise between your ears, Bill. ;-)

I have no idea what the clouds would do if left alone, it would depend on a number of different factors, but one could find out by just sitting there and watching them for awhile. It is direct experience that counts in these things, because it answers all the questions that actually matter. As for the ones that don't, they're just grist for a restless mind, and there are many restless minds out there. Like Bob Dylan once said, "People got a lot of knives and forks, and they've got to cut something..."

Ed T... it says I would have to sign up to see the P-Tron and I don't want to have any record of that.

LH... "I have no idea what the clouds would do if left alone..."

Ahhh... they evaporate.

gnu - What I meant was what they might do in, say, the next 5 minutes or so. ;-) That is, they might move this way or that way, at this or that speed, they might thin out some, they might thicken up some, they might combine or separate, etc...and that would depend on a number of different factors. If I wanted to know exactly what they would do, I'd have to sit there and watch them do it to find out. Direct observation would definity yield a more certain answer than theorizing about it...or calling up the local weatherman and asking him. That's why I say, nothing beats direct experience.

You could say that clouds evaporate, and you'd be right. You could also say that they form and you'd be right again, only at a different time in the life of the cloud, that's all. ;-) We also form and then we evaporate at some point. It's called birth, growth, life, aging, and death. Everything in this world appears to do that, although some substances (like gold) are very stable. If I may quote Mr Dylan again, "everything passes, everything changes".

If just about everything has been discussed on Mudcat BS, as some may state (not sure who these folks are at this point, but Bob Dylan is clearly not a suspect), could the BS mission be "spent"? Is it nearing the end (not intending to be a doomsdayer, not that there is anything BS'ly wrong with that)?

Or, could an ending be a new beginning, for BS to emerge in an altered state? Old BS does not die, it just evaporates,turning into new BS?

GNU, I did not go in there either. The outside was good enough for me.

On repeated review of this thread, I have become increasingly glad that these subjects have not been covered there. There are some places where we just shouldn't go. Period.

Still, those venomous yellow snow snakes....I wonder what my dog would have to say about that.

Snakes?

They waste your time
They're wastin' mine
California's got the most of them
Boy, they got a host of them
Swear t'god they got the most
At every business on the coast
Swear t'god they got the most
At every business on the coast
They got the flakes
Flakes! flakes!
They can't fix yer brakes
You ask 'em, "where's my motor? "
"well, it was eaten by snakes..."

Zappa... great tune.

So... more snakes?

Little Hawk...your 2:34PM answer to Gnu was about the most complex way of saying "Things are more like they are now than they ever were before." that I've read.

But... I sure hafta agree with it. Yup....shore do.... cain't find no flaws....

My daddy used to say when one of us boys had a wee injury... "Oh, it'll feel better when it quits hurtin'!"

Thanks, Bill. ;-D The fact is, I love to hear myself talk. And I also love words for their own sake, come to think of it. It's either something I inherited or its due to my spending my youth immersed in folk music, the wordiest of all popular music styles.

"... I also love words for their own sake.."

Yep...me too.... like "gratuitous superfluous tautological verbiage"

(sometimes at night, instead of counting sheep, I'll construct grammatically correct...but not necessarily meaningful... sentences of words of 3 or more syllables)

Has anyone done a poll on how many Mudcatters have or had a lucky charm, what they are and if they believe they bring them luck.

What about that old rabbits foot your father had on his key chain (as cruel as it seems today)? Did it bring him luck? Well, it may have brought him you, and associated luck in bed? Though it did not bring luck to the rabbit, (or cat)who once owned the foot.

Lucky charms

Peter's quote seems somewhat appropriate for nude bowling?
