Ok so do you remember when you where just a child and you had your first banana? It probably tasted pretty damn good right? Then you got to college and bananas remind you of something else? Something like this:
So, you probably are thinking “gee this thing is perfect for reproducing”. I mean honestly, how can something like that not be full of seeds right? Well you would be DEAD WRONG. So, the sad reality is that the banana is poor at reproducing. With nearly 75% of all bananas being consumed before they reach the ground, the chances for success already are about 25%. Lets also bear in mind that the banana is high in natural sugar , which decompose very quickly. Usually any leftover banana seeds decompose with the fruit or are eaten by scavengers. And have you wondered what a banana seed looks like? Well, it’s one of those pesky macroscopic black dots you see when you cut a banana in half vertically. Yes, it’s very sad to know that the sexiest fruit in the world may be going extinct. But what in nature wouldn’t want a bite of such a sweet and curvy fruit?
We recently read Gene Sharp’s book “From Dictatorship To Democracy” after reading about the massive revolutions occurring throughout north Africa and the middle east. With the whole mumbo jumbo going on in Syria right now, We had to really re-read this book. Again, the thing that peaked our interest was an article written by a Stanford international relations major on how “peaceful protesting” was the wave of the future.
We will sum up the entire book by telling you that peaceful protests cannot be crushed by military might without repercussions from the international community. After all, isn’t this the reason why Yugoslavia fell? And the reason why Un invaded Serbia? Is it not because of peaceful protest that Gaddafi was ousted? And the list simply goes on (although gene sharp really wrote this book with Vietnam in mind).
So lets look at this from the opposite side: what if a dictator where to read this book? And what if they actually took the time to literate themselves and see that violence was not a possible solution to crush popular demand? It was funny to us because If you (you should by the way) read this book, you can take every word and reverse it. You can literally use it as a handbook on “how to be a dictator”. We just think this book is absurdly ridiculous and its paradoxical how easy it would be for a simple commoner to take this book and use it against his own people. Not that we would in any way like to see this happen. In case you are intrusted in seeing what we mean, we might write a book on this subject. In the mean time why not read the book yourself to get a rough idea?
The Cthulhu Portal opened last week. It is still in it’s beta stages, but, we need people whom can act as beta testers and report bugs. Beta testers may be given special privileges or commission for input and for growing the community.

Aerogel is a very fine material created by Samuel Stephens Kistler in the early 1930′s. This is a synthetic material that is about 99% air. Its really weird feeling, so we decided to share our experiences with you.
1) It feels spongy when you squish it, yet, a brick of this stuff weighs less than a feather.
2) You can make a mattress out of this stuff and you can lift it on your pinky.
3) If you try to burn it, it wont melt. Rather, it will hover and stay cold over the smoldering hot fire.
Aerogel Below Supporting A Brick Above
So this stuff will distort light. It literally has the same properties as smoke. Did we mention you can put a 2 ton stone on this stuff and a 2kg brick wont collapse? It can hold 4000x it’s own weight! If you dont believe us about this futuristic material, you can actually purchase a sample! Yes, you can purchase this stuff by the brick off ebay. But, its not very cheap.
This is a very common picture. The Aerongel is suspended above a flame, and a fresh flower stays above it, unscathed by the smoldering fire.
Here is a link to Aerongel gel you can purchase to check out this godly material: http://www.aerogel.com/
My very own personal favorite sedan brand, the saab 9-5 aero , will no longer be manufactured as of 2013. It pains me personally to see that SAAB , after years of excellence, has actually managed to die off. GM pretty much orphaned the brand, and now these "high tech" cars are a thing of the past, just like Saturn. SAAB 903 was a cabrio , affordabl […]
Much like the most op characters in naruto ultimate ninja storm generations, masked man and Danzo are still op. To add to the mix, we can add ultimate form tamari and Utaka might also be added as being quite "op". […]
In naruto ultimate ninja storm generations, the most op characters are clearly the masked man and Danzo. The reason being is that both can spam with throwing attacks or explosives. While the enemy falls, they can charge for an ultimate attack. Thats pretty op if you ask me […]
