Hey Mr. Reality (DRS) - put up or shut up - what is reality?


Reality is when I drop a dumbell on my foot.

Hello-oo! Random, 2000-year old legend? Please!

Howabout you go away and stop making religious folk look bad?

I've been taking extra magnesium for muscle cramps, but it also seems to

But I wonder if a person can have too much magnesium, and if so what would
the effect be - I've had a squishy tummy all week and I've been taking two
magnesium pills at night for bad lower leg cramps.

I'd still rather have the squishy tummy than the cramps though. Easier to
take an imodium than to be up and down every half hour throughout the night
walking off cramp.

"Squishy tummy", now there's one I haven't heard before. I guess
that's probably the same as an "upset stomach". Magnesium salts are a
common remedy for constipation. Perhaps just take one pill? Or one
in the morning?

My cat "thinks" shrimp occurs by a process in some ways similar to the
big bang theory of creation of the Universe. But in fact I buy it at
Farmer's Market. Humans are like cats, only somewhat smarter. There
are limits beyond which we cannot grasp things, even if the
explanation was presented. I think of religion as a way to live with
that.

I think that philsophy entirely lacks integrity.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. In the entire history of our species we have
found exactly zero credible evidence of any supernatural being who
created the universe. Moreover, the more we learn about the
universe the less necessary we find any such creator.

We're like ants exploring the kitchen. At this point in our
unsupervised brain evolution we know ZERO about what it is we're
exploring, and worse, unable to understand the picture even after
collecting the facts. Appealing to looking and not finding is quite
naive.

Utter, utter bull****. We know a lot about the universe and we learn more
every day. We are not the ignorant peons you would have us be, who need
religion to explain things because there's no alternative.

Really? What's his pulse rate?

Or does a "cardiologist" have a really strange meaning for "lives"?

Makes you worry, eh?

I take quinine bisulphate for cramps. It has no side effects I can detect.
Maybe you could ask your doctor about it. Or just drink lots of G&Ts.

This is obvious since none of the alleged 'great thinkers' were acting
collectively or in unison, or indeed had a valid thought in their
revered heads, or were members of a professional association that was
self-regulating.

Proof, if it were required, is that we are no wiser for all their
profound deliberations, thus making them ineligible for induction into
any reputable organisation requiring honesty and integrity - unless of
course earnest endeavour is a suitable qualification.
