Bluetooth results may vary
When does specs get inflated and when are they understated. Marketing guys overstate, engineers understate? So, the specs for bluetooth say 10 ft. Ok, depends on your devices but I got 30ft for my Blackberry Bold and Sony bluetooth headphones. So, I wonder if spying in coffee shop is viable via bluetooth??

People like fish or trees?
What if people never stop growing if left alone. They would just grow and grow. We could have ppl like the 20ft white sturgeon or the 300 ft sequoia tree.

Can heart be measured?
So, we can almost measure all the inaminate processes in our world. But can the level of emotions be given an upper/lower limit. If a person was born into a wheelchair, they can do 2 things: 1) despair or 2) take as a challenge/uniqueness in life. While the fact of the imobility is known, how much will it take to break the soul of the person?
That may be the cradle of life.
So, if emotional life competes against pattern-matching AI machines, who will win? Perhaps, fear or love will move the emotional being to perceive an anamoly with a better perception than the rote/methodical pattern algorithms an AI will employ to place a value on a new artifact.
Perhaps, heart is infinity. And infinity cannot be measured.

(if only the exiting gate was not at that angle, i wonder if the designer of the runway had misgivings)

So far it's true
So last winter was really cold (2009) and last summer was cool (2009). My theory about cold times during recession is still holding. It's nearly a 1 to 1 correspondence: reduced factory output = less pollution = less global warming. Very simple. Yet some doubt; dunno?
Summer 2010 : so far it's a scorcher (or a bit hotter than summer of 2009).

Why 7 days
So why is breaking up a month (lunar cycle) better 7/4 than 10/3 or 3/10 or 6/5. I would figure 5 weeks of 6 days is best for the proportional understanding/memory capacity of humans. So 7 proably happened by the flow of events thru history, not things like human cycles.

It's the friday before July 4 and twitter & fb are overloaded so I'm using this...
I got this offer in fandango for half-price tixx. My add made me buy senior citizen movie tickets. I hope they take it, it's all the same price. Or get fake ids.
