&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Let's think about what it implies.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Where do non-biodegradable things come from?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Let's see now, the non-biodegradable materials, chemicals and metals, petroleum and all its derivatives, including most plastics, all come from the environment, right?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; So what's the big deal over putting these substances back into the environment, once we're done with them?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; So long as it's done safely, we just need to set aside certain parts of the environment to serve the purpose. &amp;nbsp; After all, that's what makes living near an untapped oil field -- where the crude is seeping up from below into the water table and onto the land -- so unhealthy.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I once read that a lot of water wells in America are tainted with arsenic, or other poisonous substances, seeping into the water underground. &amp;nbsp; Ever hear of poisonous watering holes in the desert?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Let's face it, folks, the environment is already a pretty toxic place in some areas, and man had nothing to do with it becoming that way. &amp;nbsp; We just need to be sure that we don't try to live where the living ain't easy!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; As for non-biodegradable...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I'm not saying plastic should clutter our landfills, and I do believe it should be disposed of properly, along with batteries and the like.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; But the way some people act, and talk, like plastic isn't "natural" (if so, where does it come from then, Mars, Jupiter, or somewhere in deep space?), I think they should get a grip and learn to deal with it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; 
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; You know, there are an awful lot of non-biodegradable things already littering the landscape, and they can hurt you if you aren't very careful and don't watch out.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Last time I looked, I believe they were called ROCKS, STONES, or BOULDERS.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Speaking of the latter, have you heard about origami boulders yet?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; No? &amp;nbsp; Then you might want to take a look at the following web page, to see what all the fuss is about: &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.origamiboulder.com/"&gt;http://www.origamiboulder.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Get your's today. &amp;nbsp; At least these boulders are biodegradable...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; And I'm certain we can all be thankful for that!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1391890463196567361-3212382033886339648?l=bigdealfinder.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1391890463196567361/posts/default/3212382033886339648'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1391890463196567361/posts/default/3212382033886339648'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigdealfinder.blogspot.com/2008/02/biodegradable-so-what.html' title='Biodegradable - So What?'/><author><name>Big Deal Finder</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13473449757606228848'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391890463196567361.post-7925304868342914912</id><published>2008-01-07T13:02:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2008-01-08T22:21:05.844-06:00</updated><title type='text'>The World's Dirtiest BIG Secret Exposed</title><content type='html'>&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; There's a problem with the American economy, and not one person in ten million can put their finger on exactly what it is.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; But it's going to be fatal to this country's future survival, sooner or later!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; That is, unless you get up off your duff and do something about it right now.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; What can YOU do?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Plenty. First read:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; If you've been wondering were all your hard-earned money has been disappearing, you'll be shocked to discover the hidden and unlawful tax that's been sucking and draining the life's blood out of your budget.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Here's hoping that shedding light on the monumental fraud that's responsible for America's continuing economic malaise over the past century will help drive this beast out of business permanently!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1391890463196567361-7925304868342914912?l=bigdealfinder.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1391890463196567361/posts/default/7925304868342914912'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1391890463196567361/posts/default/7925304868342914912'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigdealfinder.blogspot.com/2008/01/worlds-dirtiest-big-secret-exposed.html' title='The World&apos;s Dirtiest BIG Secret Exposed'/><author><name>Big Deal Finder</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13473449757606228848'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391890463196567361.post-3129523431004390635</id><published>2008-01-07T10:22:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2008-01-07T11:23:03.939-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Colloidal Silver - Is It Really Dangerous?</title><content type='html'>&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; It can turn you blue, as it did Paul Karason.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;center&gt;(To see what too much &lt;a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22536241/" target="_blank"&gt;Colloidal Silver&lt;/a&gt; can do &lt;- Click the link.)&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; And there are plenty of references to anonymous "doctors" who claim that silver can cause liver damage and even seizures; horrors!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Yet, like Paul, I have also made my own colloidal silver and used it for more than 15 years, yet it has never turned the skin of myself or anyone in my family blue.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Contrary to all the harum, scarum fear tactics put forth by the medical, media and government communities and "experts," there is little or no danger if colloidal silver is made correctly and used right (moderation is the key).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; And despite attempts to disclaim this fact, colloidal silver has some mighty powerful health benefits that cause plants, animals and humans who ingest it to thrive.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; In fact, colloidal silver is used in every burn trauma treatment center today, because soaking burned skin in water treated with colloidal silver is the only way to keep the wound moist while at the same time protected from bacterial infections, plus it soothes and helps heal burns.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; In fact, it is my family's treatment of choice when it comes to sunburns or first and second degree burns (thankfully, we haven't had any third degree burns to try it on).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Plus, let's not forget the absolute bonus it has of instantly neutralizing poisonous venom from spider, scorpion and snake bites, by turning it into a harmless protein on oontact.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; This has spared several of our children needless suffering and worse over the years.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Not to mention it also saved one of our son's eyesight, after being blinded for better than an hour following a fire ant sting on his eye, restoring his sight instantly after application.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; You can't scare tactic me aware from this natural and safe (when used discretely) ultra-beneficial natural element.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; We once had a rooster, which got badly mauled by stray dogs that had gotten into our back yard.  Colloidal silver applied to the chicken's wounds and put into its drinking water helped him recover rapidly, and even restored a blind eye on the bird to fully functional once again.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Call me "foolish" if you like, but I'll take colloidal silver over medicine any day, and like quite a few patients who refused to take their doctor's advice, I rather imagine I'll outlive and enjoy life much better than all those so-called medical "experts" wagging their tongues and shaking their heads in shock and chagrin, and wishing to curtail my freedom to choose my own "medicine."&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Give me colloidal silver over the advice of these quacks any day!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1391890463196567361-3129523431004390635?l=bigdealfinder.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1391890463196567361/posts/default/3129523431004390635'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1391890463196567361/posts/default/3129523431004390635'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigdealfinder.blogspot.com/2008/01/colloidal-silver-is-it-really-dangerous.html' title='Colloidal Silver - Is It Really Dangerous?'/><author><name>Big Deal Finder</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13473449757606228848'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391890463196567361.post-6137340442592314619</id><published>2007-12-24T08:57:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2008-01-07T10:22:29.848-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Where Is Santa?  He's DEAD, Get Over It....</title><content type='html'>Only in Western culture countries, it seems, do adults blatantly lie to their children, telling them fantastic fibs about some fat old dude in a red suit sliding down chimneys with a full bag in his mitts.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

You'd think that burglar alarms and 911 calls would finally bring the intruder to justice after all these years.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

And why aren't parents alarmed enough to warm their children not to accept the often very expensive presents from this total stranger, and to be wary of his true motives and intent for bribing such "good" little boys and girls!?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

Let's face it, if any of this WERE true, there'd be hell to pay for it for sure.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

But instead, most adults cough nervously, sneak about like petty criminals, hiding the goods from their children, lest they learn what liars and con-artists their own parents are toward them, and make up all the lies about Santa to clear their guilty consciences.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

Give them credit, though, because the kids aren't all that dumb.  They do eventually discover the deceit and fraud, and then grow up to imitate it, and pass on these criminal tendencies to yet another generation of gullible, trusting and innocent little boys and girls...&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

Isn't it high time we stopped all this madness, and the pretense that the start of winter is supposedly a season of good cheer, "good will" toward all men (especially while we are at war with a country that never attacked our country or even threatened us), and gift-giving (mostly only to all those who give gifts back to us)?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

Horse-poo! Bah, Humbuggery!&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

Charity, in America for instance, nearly always starts somewhere other than home; the delusion being that nobody in America is that poor or needy (or are only so by "choice" -- like THEY chose to replace honest money with inflatable, degradable Federal Reserve Notes, or to fight needless, costly wars that decimate yet another generation of young Americans needlessly, in the never-ending battle of boredumb [that's a deliberate typo], ennui and stupidity against truth, justice and real freedom).&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

And all the "cheer" in all those hurriedly emptied bottles or eggnog cartons won't drown out the reality of violence and mayhem at this time of year, more than any other, especially by the suicidal towards themselves.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

What America, and the entire western world, needs is a good dose of reality, honesty and actual wisdom, no matter how bitter that pill may be to swallow.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

No "Grinch" or "Scrooge" here; just a truthful observer and relater of facts few wish to face, but all need to consider....&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

The world is changing, and soon enough there will no longer be any place for such lies as the "Santa Claus" and "Christmas" myths (that's right, according to the historical record in scripture the Savior was NOT born in wintertime, but rather in the spring lambing season).&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

The truth about all this is about to out, having been hidden and obscured by long centuries of carnal and pagan Bacchanalia worship in "Christian" guise, and it won't be pretty or nice.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

Once the dust settles from that epic battle, and the ultimate defeat of all falsehood, deceit, fraud and pretense, everyone will rejoice to finally know where Santa is at long last -- and where he will remain from that time onward; in the rubbish heap of forgotten and discarded history.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

When that day arrives, everyone will then know, once and forever, that Santa is DEAD, because he never existed to begin with, and will never haunt the thoughts and foolish imaginations of intellectually dishonest and emotionally manipulated people, ever again.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

(Sorry about the snug fit, if this shoe just happens to come in your size!)&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

With plans to launch an all-gas model in '09, capable of over 300 miles-per-gallon, this Tesla-like technological achievement is raising some eyebrows.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

It wouldn't be surprising if it also raises the ire of the petrochemical complex and the war-for-oil-profiteers, if it hasn't already.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

Here's a video of what the future might hold in store, in a surprising look at this Jetsons-style new marvel...&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

&lt;center&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="355"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/3NuhYmK-CQc&amp;rel=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/3NuhYmK-CQc&amp;rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

This fuselage-shaped car of the future looks comfortably spacious inside, even if this three-wheeled wonder only seats two for now (as to trunk -- or boot, for our British Isles readers -- space, your guess is as good as ours).&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

Is this era apt enough for such breakthrough technology?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

Or will the smog-in-a-tank guys and gals succeed in squelching it before the Aptera really gets up to speed and gets "off the ground" (metaphorically speaking)?...&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

Time alone will tell, but if the past is any key to glimpsing what the future truly holds in store, don't set your hopes too high.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

And the next time you hear the word APT, perhaps you'll consider the fact that not all that's apt is meant for those whose tastes and mores are on a par with all that is much less than apt!&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

One thing's certain, however, and that is the fact how magnets really work in Kansas, as they do everywhere else, just doesn't match the popular scientific mythology of how magnets are supposed to function.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

Let's face facts.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

Modern science, just as medieval science before it, carries with it a truck-load of baggage from earlier superstitions, old-wives' tales and just plain over-imaginative fiction (it's called science-fiction these days).&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

The common explanations of how magnets really work should certainly be classified as one of these, rather than a reasoned and proven scientific fact....&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

We live in the Land of Oz if magnets work the way we are led to believe by misinformed educators.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

Take so-called "magnetic attraction" for instance.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

By what magical, mystical force of nature do magnets "attract" one another?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

For that matter, what makes similar poles of magnets repel consistently, and how does a magnet know the difference between its north "pole" and its south?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

What makes the two ends of a magnet polar opposites?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

And even though we know about and can actually see the effect of magnetic fields, what creates this force and keeps it active almost perpetually?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

That's a big chunk of unknown territory to modern science, which might make far better uses of magnetic fields and force than it presently does, if it only understood the correct answers to those ages-old puzzles....&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

Let's start with the fact that magnets can repel.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

This force is not inherent in the magnet itself, which can be nothing more than a formerly non-magnetized piece of iron, after all.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

Therefore the force must come from the environment and not the magnet, and is only funneled or channeled by the magnet or magnetizable material.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

And the fact that this force has a weaker and stronger function is obvious by the fact that it moves in a circular path perpetually, from pole to pole.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

For to move implies a stronger force in the direction of movement, and a weaker force in the direction from which the force has moved, and this force -- like everything else in nature, from flower leaves on stalks to mighty hurricanes -- moves cyclonically.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

Consider two tornadoes approaching one another.  What might happen?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

If they rotate in the same direction, as they would, they could come together and form into a far larger and more powerful cyclone.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

But what if one rotated the opposite of the other?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

The force of pressure between the two would force them to fly apart, and perhaps flip one on its end, like a gyroscope righting itself, until both were aligned and rotating in the same direction as usual.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

And that is just what magnets do.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

When the poles are unopposed, the pressure of the two magnetic fields are such that the magnets are pushed apart.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

But when the poles are opposite, their fields rotate in such a way that a vacuum is created between the magnets. Simple air pressure, then, pushes the magnets together.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

So you see, there really is no such thing as "magnetic attraction," unless of course you happen to be "Mr. Wizard" and you live in the magical make-believe Land called Oz!&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

That's the truth about magic, it's all a big fraud...&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

But people seem to like being fooled, and there are no end of those who like to fool them, it seems.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

I have discovered, however, that true levitation is indeed possible, once you understand what gravity really is and what it is not....&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

You see, gravity is not some magical magnetic-like force pulling objects toward the earth.  It's really a force that pushes objects toward the earth by passing though molecules of matter and imparting an earthward spin to each molecule, which in turn creates a downward momentum.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

And when the spin is reversed, such as with helium and hot air, an opposite upward momentum is created that lifts against the force of gravity. And this can be true of "heavy" as well as gaseous, lighter-than-air molecules.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

To levitate a person, for instance, all that is needed is a means of turning the force of gravity around in a local region or area surrounding the person.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

And that is easier said than done, obviously, or we'd all be levitating around here and there, and anti-gravity cars would really exist, and not just remain figments of the sci-fi writers' vivid imaginations.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

So how can this be done?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

It seems some insects, such as the humble non-aerodynamic bumblebee among others, might hold the surprising answer.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

Even a wasp nest could contain some of the key to cracking the anti-gravity code.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

It seems that certain shapes -- or more specifically spaces -- can, and do have a local effect on gravity and this may well eventually lead to the discovery of resonant spaces which counter the force of gravity with an equal or greater force in the opposite direction.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

Meanwhile, without all the flashy lights, glittery backdrops, super-strong but micro-fine wire, backstage crane rigging and chutzpa of pretend magicians (or the help of demonic alien technology)  levitation will remain a fraud and fiction rooted more in the hopes and dreams of mankind to rise above our mortal and terrestrial bounds.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

That may only come about once we learn the vital lessons of humility, reasoned compassion, intolerance of evil (according to a law more perfect than carnal man alone is capable of either contriving or upholding), and embracing of peace and goodwill according to the perfect and longstanding plan and purpose of our Maker and Creator.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

If it is His will.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

Oh, and while you've got your thinking cap on . . .&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

What took so long and why is this now news all of a sudden?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

You can almost hear the scientists pouring over the carcass of this long-dead animal saying: "Keep your skin on, Dakota," (that's what they named it, after the location of the discovery) "we'll get around to letting the world know about you eventually!"&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

And so they did, and so it did also (keep it's skin on, that is), because this mummified dinosaur simply didn't want to give it up to decay, or long delay either, it seems.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

Way to go, Dakota!&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

At least he's showing science a thing or two, such as the fact that -- with his well-preserved bones maintaining the spacing between the vertibrae -- Dakota is proving that dinosaurs in general were bigger and faster than believed possible.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

Considering their enormous size, and earth's present gravity, wouldn't that also indicate that gravity was once a lot less -- and therefore less constant than we presently think -- to accommodate these giants of antiquity?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

And if gravity has changed, what else might we need to question about the dead and dusty past and our present paradigms of scientific attempts to reconstruct a facsimile of past events.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

Or -- correct me if I'm wrong here -- haven't fossilized human footprints been found inside dinosaur footprints, as if tracking the beasts; and if gravity was weak enough to allow giant dinosaurs to move about on land, without dragging their tails, how did this affect the two-legged forebear of our present human species?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

Something to think about, don't you think?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

Oh, and while you've got your thinking cap on . . .&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;
