Cave related time warping

We here at The Mouth of the Cave are always on the look out for interesting cave dwelling experiences and so at this time I would point you in the direction of this interesting blog piece on the ways our minds warp time in our everyday lives:

In 1962 Michel Siffre went to live in a cave that was completely isolated from mechanical clocks and natural light. He soon began to experience a huge change in his experience of time. Read the rest here.

Freeeakin' me out

Wa*king on a rainy day

It's miserable outside again. If it doesn't stop raining soon I might have to email in to someone. I'm running out of films to watch. One I'm not desperate to see however is this King's Speech nonsense. I haven't seen it and I have no plans to, mostly because it's wildly inaccurate and Colin Firth is a Tottenham supporter. But I did find out something interesting about stuttering yesterday and it's this I'd like to share with you at this time.

Apparently stuttering is not solely a speech impediment, it's a communication impediment that also effects people who use sign language! This is intriguing stuff no? More details of this can found on Matt Ridley's blog the Rational Optimist here.

I wonder if this isn't where we get the wanker sign from? Like, perhaps making a fist and moving the arm up and then down in one motion a single time means something completely innocent like sunshine, and perhaps someone with a signing stammer has attempted to say it but their stutter caused them to repeat this motion uncontrollably several times thus replicating a wanking action?

I might research this later on after my mid-morning nap, but in case I forget or am no longer interested in this by then, don't let me stop you from conducting your own research.

The end.

I've never trusted male Nurses

Arrogant patronisig hypocritcal bastard: Paul Nurse yesterday

The BBC exists purely I think to make me angry. And I pay them to do it! I'm less resentful of involuntarily paying $200 to two plastic titted whores in the back room of the Glitter Gulch in Las Vegas to work me over a few years ago than I am of the £140 a year I pay the BBC for my license fee just so they can lie to me and patronise me in my living room. Bastards.

Paul Nurse will I hope live long enough to feel utterly ashamed and embarrassed for his part in taking science and the Royal society over the cliff tops like lemmings over AGW. Some day soon this entire bullshit movement will be proven to be wildly exaggerated bullshit and exposed as a politically motivated heist of the general public's taxes.

Horizon on BBC2 tonight was standard blinkered BBC climate change hysteria. The analogy used to try and embarrass AGW sceptic and Telegraph blogger James Delinpole for example was false and really quite pathetic given they claimed to have interviewed him for three hours and this was apparently their knock-out blow.

James Delinpole does appear to be a bit of a prat, but I don't think Paul Nurse did his side of the debate any favours if this was as ignorant as they could Delingpole look after a three hour interview.

He was asked 'if a dear relative was suffering from a fatal disease, would he opt for the "consensus" treatment recommended by doctors, or advice to drink more orange juice offered by a fringe maverick quack?'

This is a bullshit analogy for many reasons. Let's ignore the fact that a fatal disease by definition cannot be cured - Primarily this is a bullshit analogy because Climate science is in it's infancy and medicine isn't.

If we apply the same conditions to the illness question when medicine was in it's infancy the patient would have been quite right to ignore the consensus treatment as that would probably have been a course of leeches.

And what about climate scientist Stephen Schneider who actually was diagnosed with cancer and did refuse the consensus treatment because he was sceptical about it's efficacy. Meanwhile Dr Schneider refuses to recognise the doubts of those sceptical of research in his own field. How does Paul Nurse reconcile those two contradictory opinions?

Comparing maverick quacks in medicine to perfectly well respected scientists who question AGW is an impoverished argument and contrary to everything science and the Royal Society should stand for. It's also a classic sign of insecurity.

I'm quite sure they know the wheels are falling off their little bandwagon, but they're going to ride it until it collapses anyway along with the public's respect for any forms of science. Thanks to the IPCC and people like Paul Nurse the general public will eventually lose their trust in all branches of science including medicine. The dangers of this are obvious.

Bastards.

Enterprising wagers

Your oral stimulation has had a pleasing effect on me.

I will need several 3-ply tissues to absorb the moisture.

I've recently gotten quite into Star Trek: Enterprise. Are you familiar with this show? It's a prequel series with the guy from Quantum Leap as Captain. My younger readers might not be familiar with Quantum Leap so let me just quickly google the fella's name.

Scott Bakula. He's the Capitan. Or Captain if you will. So in this series they've only just figured out how warp speed works, and although they have the technology to beam people up and down they don't do it very often as the crew are skeptical about how safe it is. And one of the officers is a posh English dude and the engineer guy is from Texas.

It's on at 2pm so I watch it when I wake up and most of the time I will have a cup of tea when I watch it. Tea has caffeine in it, a stimulant, and this combined with my 'just woken up' randiness makes me have filthy thoughts about the Vulcan woman T'Pol who's in charge of sciencey stuff and I think is also some kind of space lawyer. She has the titest...erm tightest uniform and the best tits in the show.

A common personality trait of all the female characters with nice tits in all Star Trek series' is that they've all evolved to become emotionally redundant. Like the Borg woman in Voyager...she has the best tits of any female character in any of the Star Trek shows, yet she's incapable of feeling any emotion. And T'Pol in Enterprise is a Vulcan and Vulcans see emotions as gay and something only babies and small children are burdened with until they've grown out of them and gotten all logical and monosyllabic.

These lack of emotions are because male Star Trek fans with the exception of me, are usually nerds who are terrified of actual real women. And the only way they could ever, even in a fantasy, be in a sexual relationship with a woman with such awesome tits and not be frightened to death by the prospect of conquering her, is if she had no emotions and no sexual experience herself and therefore the nerd would be the dominant partner and corrupt her with ease. In effect she is essentially a living breathing blow-up doll. It's fascinating stuff from a psychological point of view...but I like it mostly for the tits.

"I will enjoy this tit wank you speak of?" 7 of 9 yesterday

Sport now, and it's the Europa League this evening. I'm going to place a 15 game acca** and live the rest of life in a obscene luxury. I'll only eat the very best sammiches Subway have to offer and I'll make a billionaire Arab go out and get them for me, while I wrestle with his six daughters to work up an appetite.

It's GOLD!

**update: I did not in fact place a 15 game acca. I went for a less awesome Yankee; Celtic - Win, Villa - draw, Borisov - win, Stuttgart - win.

Villa are fielding a team of children so may in fact lose but hopefully they can eek out a draw.
