Flame Trees by Cold Chisel

Video: YouTube

Most Australians who enjoy music would love the Band Cold Chisel. Even if you are to young to remember them, you may have parents who do.

Flame Trees by Cold Chisel is one of my all time favourites songs. For those of you who don’t know the song, maybe you not from Australia, well sit back and enjoy the song and have a look at what Australian country life was like about 20 years ago. Actually it’s not too different to typical country life these days.

This is one of the best attempts I have seen at describing the meaning of the song American Pie by Don McLean.

100 things you didn’t know

Maybe these facts are useless and won’t benefit you in anyway, they are interesting though and might give you something to talk about at your next party or gathering.

Large Hadron Collider

Large Hadron Collider part 1

It’s finally happening, they are testing out the particle exelerator and we are all waiting with baited breath to see if we are still all going to be here tomorrow. No need to worry if you read a quote from CNET news as shown below.

Remember the fear that the Trinity test of the first atomic bomb in 1945 might ignite the atmosphere? The Large Hadron Collider, a massive particle accelerator 17 miles in circumference that will begin operation Wednesday, comes with its own apocalyptic possibility: teensy black holes with gravitational appetites voracious enough to swallow the Earth.

But you can breathe easy, because some scientists believe that worry is just as baseless as the A-bomb’s flaming atmosphere.

Conspiracy theories? (who knows what really happened).

This video shows how easy it can be to spread happiness amongst people from all over the world. Dance and have fun and people seem to forget about fighting and bickering.

What ancients did for us - The INDIANS 6/6

Video: YouTube

So now we know some of what the ancients did for us… as for what we as ancients did for our future distant ancestors, there’s always global warming, corporation-sponsored government, Dystopia and probably Monsanto’s Soylent Green.

Danny Way Big Air Contest Crash, X Games 14 2008

This is extreme skating at its most extreme, the air that these guys get is absolutely amazing. It’s a far cry from my cruising down the end of my street on my HANG TEN skateboard in the early eighties.

What ancients did for us - The INDIANS 5/6

It’s altogether too easy to underestimate the capabilities of the Ancients, and perhaps affix credit for the Pyramids etc. to ‘Off worlders’, rather than giving credit to the Ancients ability, in this case to move blocks of stone which we would have problems moving, even with our present day mechanical technology.

The Indian Ayurveda and Yoga, along with the Chinese Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine, which are still practiced thousands of years later, are also too much underestimated. I think it’s worth mentioning here also, that the Egyptians of the Pharaohs time, along with the Ancient Chinese, Greeks, South Americans and who knows how many others, also carried out quite complex surgical operations that, from archaeological evidence, are shown to have been successful.

I have a theory… that the ‘ancients’ were far more observant and thoughtful about what they saw or experienced, largely because of the absence of the mind numbing TV’s ‘Big Brother’ & ‘So you think you can dance’ etc.

Since he makes a big thing about his religion:

Matthew 7:12
“So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.”

I’m at best an agnostic, and though I do do my best to live by the rule above, I’m a fan of Karma… and more than willing to give Karma a helping hand.
