    The Agents of F.L.A.S.K.

    I red an article about a case where patient had died while being monitored, don't know the correct terminology, EEG of the brain? Right after the heart had stopped and before the brain flatlined, there was a thunderstorm of electric activity on the brain, most likely caused by lack of oxygen...

    I'm absolutely thrilled to see this unfolding. Just can't make up my mind what to think. On the other hand this Grusch fellow, among others, has a high credibility, on the other, so far has been all talk, no evidence... I do have a nagging feeling that this may be just a great hoax. Anyway I'm...

    Article says that this discovery was made in the '80s. Raiders came out in 1981. Coincidence? I think not! :)

    Hmn, I really must start looking more deeply into this. As a firm skeptic I've usually discarded these as a mere humbug. I'll see. But thanks, Tiki, for opening yet another interesting path of knowledge to follow!

    Something I've wanted to try for a long time. And 1/2 price day. Now this devouteed french press user is learning the art of percolating.

    The Era -- Day By Day

    Easter is "The Sunday after the first full moon after spring equinox." Unless that full moon is immediately after equinox, in what case easter is one month later... Dunno why but that always amuses me. That date was originally settled in the 6th century, but there has been some tweaking due to...

    As much as I would like there were something out there, my problem is that I don't know of a single controlled, scientificic experiment on the subject with positive result. Wouldn't it be just as easy to produce these fascinating fenomena in controlled conditions?

    A Zippo for pipe and cigar smokers

    Is the patina just from normal handling or did you do something to it? Just curious, I have some brass items that I'd like to get patina on.

    It makes me so mad when people treat animals like carbage. Thank goodness there are also people like you. Well done, sir, well done!

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Joys of winter. Get well soon.

    Yeah, fighting is the most common cause. And in more northernly locations free roaming cats surprisingly often freeze their ears.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    After a record breaking heatwave in this September we are finally approaching normal autumn. Very strong possibility for night frost, days around 10°C. With English, I agree, it does seem to be the Latin of our days. Still, it annoys me, especially that Moomin calender, I mean worldwide probably...

    Show us your Thrift and/or yard sale finds

    I find most of my clothing from thrift/charity shops nowadays. Everything but the boots in this outfit is. Latest finds are the jacket and cap. Jacket is moosehide, I think '70s, maybe '80s, manufacturer is long gone. Cap is Estonian, the label got me thinking that maybe even from the Soviet...

    Decades ago here too in most restaurants one could get a drink, wine, beer only with a meal. So many not so high class establishments had a few sandwitches in a fridge. You ordered your beer, it came with the sandwich, and after the beer was finished the sandwich was promptly taken back to the...
