Thanks, cool moth.
I think it would fool many a bird. They're not nearly as smart as you. Plus they may only be a year or 2 old.

93. Re: food on Mars
In the mid 1900s a shaving cream company put up road side humor for advertising in a series of 5 small signs:
"Free — free / a trip to Mars / for 900 / empty jars / Burma-Shave
One respondent, Arlyss French, who was the owner of a Red Owl grocery store, did submit 900 empty jars; the company replied: "If a trip to Mars / you earn / remember, friend / there's no return." The

First I'd be very thankful that it's such a very polite volcano as volcanos go. Many volcanos erupt with a massive instant blast and kill everyone with little or no warning.
In Iceland they stopped a massive lava flow by spraying it with a huge volume of sea water.
You could jack the house up on steel supports and enshroud it in reflective metal (even aluminum foil may work). The lava wou

The temperature of your freezer is important. If lightly frozen around 32 F it will not keep well. But hard frozen at the coldest setting on your freezer dial and all nutrients will remain well preserved for years. Cryogenic temperatures (liquid nitrogen) will preserve it well for millions of years.

Through slow controlled breathing and breath retention one can tap into the cosmic energy of the universe, Prana. This is the yoga technique of Pranayama. Slowly inhale, hold breath, slowly exhale, hold breath, repeat. Gradually increase the duration of each step as your abilities increase.

Chemicals can get into the watermelon and any food that is sprayed. A bunch of people died from watermelons that had been sprayed in California a few decades ago. So there could be alot of sublethal foods out there where the chemicals permeate into the plant tissue. This goes for any food and is why organic is recommended. I've heard strawberries are one of the worst as far as spraying goes.

The seeds of all the melons and squashes are good to eat. One way to do it is to blend them and then strain the resulting milk thru a nylon mesh bag.
Alot of fruit seeds should not be eaten tho. Many seeds in the rose family (peaches, cherries, nectarines, apricots, plums, apple, pear ...) contain cyanide and can be bad if many are consumed. There is an apricot with an edible seed in SE Asi

In the elevator you would be floating, just like the astronauts in outer space, at least for the few seconds before impact.
They have an airplane, called the Vomit Comet, that they dive into a free fall for a few minutes to give people esp. new astronauts a taste of floating in zero gravity. It's called zero gravity only because the effects of gravity are cancelled out by the free fall. Ther

You go at the same rate as the elevator and would appear to float as gravity is pulling you both down at the same rate, that is until you hit the bottom of the shaft.
This is just the same as people in orbit around the Earth. The International Space Station (ISS) is in free fall toward the Earth, pulled by gravity and the people inside are also in free fall so they seem to be floating, weigh

"The problem with rejuvelac is that most batches are contaminated with bad bacteria,
that study done years ago did show 60% of batches were bad"
Making rejuvelac is like making any fermented product, beer, wine, yogurt, etc. If you're a hack you may get bad results, but if you're competent you'll get 100% excellent results.

Beer makers have known for 1000s of years that one must first sprout the grain to produce the sugars that fermentation requires. The putrid disasters that live food people produced involved drowning the unsprouted seeds for days. These dead, drowned seeds had no sugar to drive the fermentation and rotted instead. It's beyond me why people dedicated to sprouting would make such a terrible mista

I think it's best not to sprout buckwheat as it may produce toxins. Go for sprouted grasses instead - wheat, rye, barely, ...
For sprouting success you should use buckwheat in the hull. It sprouts very well. The hulled buckwheat is damaged by the hulling process and gives poor results.

As long as you keep healthy and vigorous your immune system will easily combat the minor injury that the asbestos is inflicting. And if you are healthy enough the natural cleaning mechanisms of the lungs can work the asbestos out for good. Those that develope disease from asbestos only do so after toxicity has lowered their immune response to low levels. (Or so I theorize.)

An excellent book on mushrooms for temperate North America (esp the Pacific coast) is Mushrooms Demystified by David Arora. He says chicken of the woods is one of the foolproof four and a careful collecter is very unlikely to make a mistake.

The best scientific proof that some stones really do possess mysterious energy concerns tiny ancient fossils millions of years old that ants carry back to their nest.

What possible reason could they have to go to all that trouble except some strange mysterious beneficial energy that the stones possess? Pl

Tons of FREE peaches:
I worked as a peach grader one summer. Most of the peached we culled were excellent eating peaches, especially the ones with split pits - just outstanding. But the canneries throw them all out; in fact they're required to by law. So that means there's literally tons of excellent eating peaches in their trash heap. An excellent foraging opportunity.

Thanks Veronique, a very interesting plant. But I think the pointed leaves are just meant to keep animals away. Domestic sheep are bred to be so dumb, clumsy, and spiritless that some of them fall in. No wild animal would so succumb.
