Clipmarks encourages censorship?

clipper's remarks: I thought I might share some tidbits I have learned about censorship here on Clipmarks. Many of know (or maybe not) that you can 'block' comments by other clip users on your clipmarks. While this may be a tool, it appears it only supports those who would mis-use it. Anyone with an opposing opinion can be silenced if the clipper doesnt want others to see anyones comments but those they agree with. I'm ashamed of Clipmarks for allowing this 'tool' to be so easily misused, without any administrative or moderator based decision. So much for the open exchange of free thought and viewpoints.

15 cool word illusions

Say aloud the ink color of each word. How quickly can you do it? Did you slow down?

The next one is a really cool wedding card. When the card is closed, you'll see the name of the bride. When opened, the name of the groom will appear. Can you discover the names of the newly weds?

This one is pretty strange. Just look at the words below. Doesn't make any sense, does it? Now sit back and try to read the text. The text will explain itself.

What do you read here? Most people will read evil, but some will see the good in life at the first time.

Somewhat simular to the previous illusion. When you don't see the womans reflection in the mirror, you'll read hate. But when you see her reflection, you'll see her true self.

Did you read I love Paris in the springtime? If so, you're wrong. Look again and check what is really spelled.

'bizarre mix of mammal, bird and reptile, with very complex sexuality'

Thu, 08 May 2008 15:15:04 GMT

clipper's remarks: The fact that the animal has five X and five Y chromosomes is "the weirdest thing about a very weird animal," said Ewan Birney, a co-author on the paper, based at the European Bioinformatics Institute, near Cambridge. "In theory it means there are 25 possible sexes, though in practice that doesn't happen."

A DNA study found the creatures to be a mix of mammal, bird and reptile with, even more strangely, 10 sex chromosomes

Platypus proves even odder than scientists thought

At first dismissed as a prank, and later cited as proof that God has a sense of humour, the duck-billed platypus has finally given up its evolutionary secrets

The creature, considered one of the strangest mammals in the world, has become the latest to have its genetic code sequenced, revealing it to be a bizarre mix of mammal, bird and reptile, with very complex sexuality. While humans have two sex chromosomes, the X and Y, the platypus has 10, with five of each kind

An international team of scientists extracted DNA from a female platypus, named Glennie, reading all 2.2bn pairs of her genetic "letters". Thought to have begun to diverge from other mammals 170m years ago, the platypus has been regarded as the nearest thing biologists have to a missing link between the earliest reptiles and mammals

Gandhi 'never existed', Churchill 'made up'

Mahatma Gandhi never existed while Britain's wartime Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill was a fictional character. Don't fret. This is only what most Britons think about the great leaders.

According to a survey carried out in Britain, many believe that Mahatma Gandhi and Churchill are just mythical figures like Florence Nightingale, popularly known as the 'Lady with the Lamp'.

Moreover, despite his celebrated military reputation, 47 per cent of respondents feel the 12th-century English King Richard the Lionheart is fictional, according to the survey of 3,000 British teens.

In contrast, a number of fictitious characters like Sherlock Holmes, King Arthur and Eleanor Rigby were given real life status.

While almost 65 per cent of respondents believe that mythical figure King Arthur existed and led a round table of knights at Camelot, 58 per cent of teens think that Holmes really lived at 221B Baker Street.

Fundamentalist Christians; A point of view

Thu, 22 Nov 2007 18:16:57 GMT

clipped by: DouglasDirk
clipper's remarks: I agree with precepts that Fundamentalist Christians are trying to impose their standards of morality upon the whole of the United States, causing division. The concept of creationism and evolution is a personal decision among all people and each person's beliefs should be respected. Remember, separation of church and state!! Freedom to believe one theory is the right of all people! Fundamentalism is out of control with their agenda to push their beliefs upon others and integrate it into the Federal Government, State Government, Local Government causing great conflict and much harm on society.

Fundamentalist Christians (and creationists) also believe that our society should conform to their moral and social precepts even though we live in a pluralist society (with more Islamic people than Jewish, for instance, and an increasing variety of religions and adherents). I believe there is no place in our society for the teaching of narrow Christian fundamentalist dogma particularly when, in the case of Creationists, most of that dogma is presented as science.

Creationists are fundamentalist Christians. Fundamentalist Christians believe the Bible to be the true and absolute word of God. Creationism is the extension of fundamentalist Christian belief into the arena of scientific endeavour. Creationists believe that the entire cosmos, the Earth and all its creatures, were created by God in six days between 5,000 and 10,000 years ago as described in the Old Testament's Book of Genesis

Iran Jewish MP criticizes 'anti-human' Israel acts

Tehran lawmaker filling only seat allotted for Jews says Iranian Jewish community will not be celebrating Israel's 60th anniversary. 'We have nothing to do with Israel,' he says.

An Iranian Jewish leader on Wednesday said his community would not mark this week's 60th anniversary of the founding of the State of Israel, which he accused of "killing innocent" Palestinians

"We are in complete disagreement with the behavior of Israel,"

"We are Iranians. We have no relations with Israel. "

Judaism is one of three recognized minority religions in Iran.

The community has a member in the 290-seat legislature and its own schools

Four other seats are reserved for Christians and Zoroastrians

Iran's ancient Jewish community has dwindled by roughly 75% since the 1979 Islamic revolution but is still believed to be the biggest in the Middle East outside Israel,

Dinosaur killer may have struck oil

The dinosaur-killing Chicxulub meteor might have ignited an oilfield rather than forests when it slammed into the Gulf of Mexico 65 million years ago, say geologists.

The dinosaur-killing meteorite crashed into oily shales, researchers say. This would have caused the oil in the rocks to vaporise and ignite, making tiny carbon particles, or cenospheres, like this one

Smoke-related particles found in sediments formed at the time of the impact are strikingly similar to those created by modern high-temperature coal and oil burning, as opposed to forest fires, says Professor Simon Brassell of Indiana University.

He and colleagues from Italy and the UK publish their report on the discovery in the May issue of the journal Geology.

Evidence of some sort of large burn that may have changed the world's climate at the end of the Cretaceous has been around since the 1980s.

But scientists can't agree on just what sort of fire it was.

"Dali Atomicus" by Philippe Halsman - 1948

You can find out more about Halsman here : www.temple.edu/photo/photographers/halsman/phbio.html and i fully reccomend looking at some more of his work - his collaborations with Salvador Dali were some of the most innovative work around.

And something to note - you could do this in photoshop now easily but Halsman did not - this was shot live. It took 26 tries to get it over five hours - Halsman counted to four, Dali leapt, 3 assistants threw the cats, one threw the water from a bucket and Halsman's wife held the chair. Its all done in the camera.

What is life?
It is the flash of a firefly in the night.
It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime.
It is the little shadow which runs across
the grass and loses itself in the sunset.

Lakota Instructions for Living

Friend do it this way - that is,
whatever you do in life,
do the very best you can

with both your heart and mind.

And if you do it that way,
the Power Of The Universe
will come to your assistance,

if your heart and mind are in Unity.

When one sits in the Hoop Of The People,
one must be responsible because
All of Creation is related.
And the hurt of one is the hurt of all.
And the honor of one is the honor of all.

And whatever we do effects everything in the universe.

If you do it that way - that is,
if you truly join your heart and mind
as One - whatever you ask for,

that's the Way It's Going To Be.

May the stars carry your sadness away,
May the flowers fill your heart with beauty,
May hope forever wipe away your tears,

And, above all, may silence make you strong.
