Something interesting you learned recently

I've lived on farms, but I have no sense of smell, and am merely joking around collecting metaphors for my potty humor.

I've smelled maybe half a dozen farts in my life and a few flowers. I've smelled a number of other things, but never been able to identify them. The switch either comes on or it doesn't, and you can pour gasoline on me and unless it stung my eyes I'd never know it. About 20 minutes is the longest it usually lasts and to me people shoving things under my nose is a foreign ritual I tolerate.

 

Without a sense of smell you can’t taste your food, that must be a living hell,

 

Everyone has said that, but recent research has shown that your sense of smell actually originated with the ability to taste, and our tongue has the ability to smell things. I've been using my tongue to taste the air forever, but its an extremely poor substitute for the sense of smell. Your actual sense of smell is hardwired into the brain stem, unlike all the other senses, and it believed to be the origin of disgust. We are revolted by things like rotting corpses, because they can carry disease, and our feelings of disgust reflect our immune system as much as anything else, while our immune system even controls the formation of the brain, causing conditions such as autism. Hardwiring it into the brain stem, likely means disgust is more important for our survival than other negative emotions, and reflects the particle-wave duality of our thoughts and emotions.

 

Well at least it’s not as bad as I envisioned, because I couldn’t imagine not enjoying every spoonful of the chocolate mint ice cream I was eating earlier this afternoon.

 

For me, mint is just a slightly bitter herb, like eating grass. My mother always gave me the burnt food, because I asked for it insisting it just made no sense to give it to anyone else. But, my brain damage allows me to do things like write my poetry faster than any other human being alive, so its not all bad.

 

Well that depends, are you making money from your poetry?

 

Mother nature provides my words, they are not mine, they are more like my pets and have a will and life of their own. Do you insist on making money off your pets? My book appears to be almost finished, and contains an explanation for the quantum observer effect and a theory of everything, but our poetry is magical and the idea of making money off it is disguising to us and it is all public domain, if you have any clue what that means.

 

Hmm I've won a couple of ribbons with my dog.

 

I've had women beg me to write more sexy poetry, but its all math to me until it isn't and I never know what a poem is supposed to be about. They like my singing voice too, but romance with Babylonians has never been big on my list of to-do things. Most women in Babylon should wear a dollar sign around their neck along with all their cloths and jewelry. They would never understand tribal men and women. I grew up in Hawaii, and the natives there know what I'm talking about.

 

I learned that woo comes from Hawaii and I'm not supposed to know what he's on about.

 

Its called being polite and authentic. Hawaiians consider mainlanders to resemble their own reality TV and to be avoided whenever possible or treated like small children with weapons. They killed captain Cook, because he had his men open fire on barroom brawl on the beach. Fuck you assholes, you start getting in their faces the bras will eat you alive. The idea they will roll over and bear their necks for assholes like some kind of dog is sadly mistaken. That's your reality TV and not theirs. Send them a few more Nazis, they need something to play with.

 

Still though, the vikings discovery didn't change shit for us.
Columbus' discovery changed both your and Tyrsonswoods (and your ancestors) lifes. In fact, neither of you might have existed! :-D

What can be argued about my original statement is that Columbus' discovery might be less impressive because others did it first.
But his discovery was simply the most significant.

 

So what you are saying is, without Columbus you guys wouldn't know this continent existed even in modern times...


Okay.

 

There were up to half a million people living throughout the Caribbean and its surrounds when Columbus "discovered" them. Read up on his actual voyage, dont think the guy was all that bright


Magellan got speared in the chest in the phillipines, for basically picking sides in a clan war for financial gain, resources anyway



Both are heralded as pioneers. both were really just paid guns, one paid by the catholic church in spain, the other by the king of spain

 

When do you think Hawaiian islands were first colonized by any human?

 

Not only us guys, but you neither But more importantly; you wouldn't live in Ohio.

I know what he discovered. Through him the europeans discovered the rest of the americas. Not through the vikings or any polynesian or other person who might arrived there first. I'm not saying he should be regarded as a hero (although im neither saying we should tear down his statues ).

Columbus actually had to do his utter best getting his first journey financed by the spanish king. He first tried to get it financed by others. He wasn't even spanish.

 

yet they still can't get a super bowl win.

 

I learned that although corn is a vegetable, it is high in carbs.

 

^ corn is actually a grain

 

Christopher Columbus may have been Jewish.
