They do not rank among Amazon's most popular anyhow. ;) There's only one book that mentions Jesus' tomb in Japan: Jesus lived in Japan, interestingly written by an Indian, lol. Here's another article on Herai: Strangest Story Ever Told Weird Legend of Jesus in Japan It?s a story of Jesus...

Well, if you ever watched Monthy Python's "Life of Brian" you know how these miracles were accomplished. Jesus in India? Nah, Jesus in Japan! Remember the Herai thread? ;)

Well, if the highest authorities condoned it, lol... Jesus 'healed using cannabis' Jesus was almost certainly a cannabis user and an early proponent of the medicinal properties of the drug, according to a study of scriptural texts published this month. The study suggests that Jesus and his...

Yep, pretty close. :victory: I like the aspect of saving endangered species most:

Here's a FAQ page on cloning, quite interesting => http://www.newscientist.com/hottopics/cloning/cloningfaq.jsp FAQs included: Is cloning "unnatural"? Is an identical twin essentially the same as a clone? Could some lunatic clone Hitler if human cloning were perfected? Would a clone have a...

A lot of people have no clue what cloning actually means and conjure images that seem to originate right from Hollywood. While I am not so fond of experimenting with Hitler's, Einstein's or Pitt's genetical info cloning could result in immense medical progress. However, access to such technology...

Congratulations Maciamo, you're quoted quite prominently! :) I'm not an ardent advocat of cloning, but also not opposed. There's always the danger of abuse, that's why I'd opt for sound legal fundaments. Hm, some of the religious arguments against cloning found on BBC's Talking Point are quite...

Ugh, the smartypants that I am I mixed up endorphins and serotonine! While endorphins are stress- and pain-relieving, it is serotonine that's contained in the food I mentioned above. Serotonine has a similar effect though, making us feel well. I couldn't live without coffee. :)

I've read that endorphins are released after consumption of - certain fruits (in particular bananas) - any kind of roasted food: french fries, deep-fried stuff, coffee - food that contains large amounts of sugar (chocolate) Simply put: it's the endorphins that make us feel well by enhancing...

I have to agree with Twisted. Most critics of the U.S. are able to differentiate between government and population. What the U.S. administration calls "anti-americanism" is actually deep concern of their arrogant gung-ho policies. Global Survey Shows Growing Anti-Americanism Although a...

Big, bigger, biggest. And a new provocation.

Blast, reminds me that I still have to install my sound card! :)

Maciamo, I understand your point very well, and I subscribe to what you have said about imposing ideas onto others. I really couldn't agree more. :) I have lived more than one third of my life in Islamic countries where I've learned, better yet, internalized two things: it's no use arguing...

Uhm, I didn't intend to unleash a debate about whether god exists or not, I just wondered how far ostensibly religious people go in order to "protect" religion, assuming that their true motivation lies in fact somewhere else. The Nike and Cola cases are just two examples for such paranoia...

Just found the image below. Very convincing, isn't it? :D

Just a brief question in regard to Singapore: isn't their rigidity a product of confucian thought? I'm not sure if they are trying hard to please the West.

I've heard about the Akuma case. Would it be possible in the States to call your child "Satan"? Do authorities have the right to interfere? Btw, just let me post an article related to the original topic: Restoring hemp to natural place in Japan's culture =>...
