Turritopsis nutricula is the Immortal Jellyfish. Has anyone else heard about the "immortal" jellyfish I found this very interesting......also I heard something about scientists trying to somehow get the jellyfish DNA into us to stop us ageing.....

What are your views eds and regulars

Thanks

BILLY the Chelsea supporter {Ed001's Note - sorry mate, have to cut out the big copy and paste bit, people don't like their work being pasted in on other websites. I left the scientific name in, so people could easily find out the details anyway. It is very interesting, and it is also normal for scientists to look at a creature's DNA to try and find out why they have certain abilities, what causes them and then if they can be recreated in humans. Not sure it would be a good thing to give humankind immortality, the world is already overcrowded as it is!}

 

I have heard something about this before that some jellyfish never actually die, if i remember correctly it turns itself back to infant stage or something like that.

I also heard this a few weeks back, pretty cool.
only way it dies is if it gets beached or eaten?

it think it would be stupid to make humans live forever like this, the population would explode.. but i'm guessing it will only be used by people high up or wealthy.

Time travel has interested me for a while now. just wondered everyones views on the photographs, film and strange artefacts and fossils that have emerged?

 

Like what? Some clip from a Charlie Chaplin film allegedly showing an old woman using a mobile? Or the film allegedly showing a school girl with an apple product in the 50s or something?

Not a conspiracy, but can anyone shed any light on why after 1 crash- (caused by debris on the runway I think,) was the concorde taken out of service?
This was one of man's greatest ever creation's and it just stopped. Not even an attempt to improve it.
Watched the documentary about the Air France crash, the Rio-Paris flight on C4, and now they are doing a documentary about a controlled plane crash.
Why all the sudden plane crash interest?
And, lastly, Looking at the advert for this controlled crash, looks like it does not really show a realistic crash situation as the landing gear is down and crashes in to the thick desert.
Mike

 

You're right about the concord bit. Fantastic piece of kit and a big loss to aviation. But the other topic, what you're saying is to recreate a real life crash situation, they should actually crash, not in the desert but in a built up area. The reason they don't actually crash and do a fake crash in the desert is because they don't want people to be killed or waste ££££ on a smashing a plane to pieces.

Aaron {Ed001's Note - and money is the be all and end all, hence why Concorde was scrapped. It lost money and the crash was more of a convenient excuse to give up on it without upsetting customers, than a genuine reason to scrap it.}

Watching Homeland on channel 4, there must be a world record for the most times the words "Muslim" and "terrorist" have been squeezed into a script of a popular American TV series. brainwashing.

Matt_RFC {Ed003's Note - Well seeing as that is what the whole series is about it is hardly surprising really,isn't his missus fit lol,I know what you mean though,remember it is a US programme}

 

I agree with Ed003 wholeheartedly, his missus is extremely fit. Clare Danes is the only reason I ever watched Stardust.. lol

Eds what are your thoughts on the Nazcar of South America? What were the reasons for the line they drew. They also changed the shape of their skulls. It looks quite similar to what you would imiagine a alien to look like {Ed001's Note - to me, I would have to say they expected someone to be able to look down on the pictures they drew, or else it would make no sense. But that doesn't necessarily mean aliens, after all christians look to the skies in search of heaven and their god, could the Nazca culture also have seen their god/s up above? As for the skull shape changing, that could just be fashion, like lip stretching, neck stretching, tattoos etc.}

 

Much more interesting than American NASCAR that's for sure....

Just seen an interesting picture from a johnny bravo episode (I know not the best source), which showed johnny and a friend talking with a window in the background, the window shows a picture of two towers on fire with a sign saying coming soon, the episode aired in April 2001
Thoughts?
LP

 

1. There is only 1 tower in the picture...

2. It is most likely a poster advertising a film that features a burning building.

3. It was on flipping Johnny Bravo.

There are plenty of conspiracies with something to them, but this is just taking the mick.

look I dont care if you believe me or not, I seen two white flashing lights over the south west scotland and northern ireland area, it happened on two seperate occasions within 2-3 mins of each other over a very clear sky, just thought I would let you know and if anyone else seen anything please post
Ryan

 

Well, I've not seen them in Scotland, not that I don't believe you. I've seen some very odd things in the skies at times. I'm an amateur astronomer & astro-photographer so as you can imagine, I've seen some odd things.
On the night of August 15th for example, while trying to photograph some of the Perseids meteor shower, I saw an orange dusky light, about the height of a high-alt passenger jet, zig-zag it's way from south to north across the sky. This thing made no noise and disappeared in a matter of seconds. This sighting was made on a quiet beach with no light pollution and no laser shows or nearby clubs with powerful outside lights. It wasn't a meteorite as they don't zigzag and you can hear them burn up. It wasn't a satellite, I've seen and photographed a lot of satellites and they behave differently in the sky.
I can also see the South Downs from my lounge window and just last night there was a multi-coloured pulsating light hovering over the Downs. It couldn't have been a helicopter as you can hear them, & this made no sound before it simply disappeared. We do have a small, close local airport, but both of these objects were not associated with that as it is a mile West of my location. We can see aircraft coming in to land at Gatwick on a clear night and you get to recognise the flight-paths and the flashing wing and underside lights. These objects had neither of those. I'm not saying they were definitely UFO's but it is unexplained and I know the dusky orange zigzag has been seen in Burnley too.

Hi all, i find it funny how there is suddenly no more reported news or updates on the French Alps shootings, again another convenience that the press just are no longer covering. How something can be in the news for so long and the suddenly just no longer be reported is beyond believe.
KevDarko

 

Funny how at the time the press were told there was a strong indication that the motive was something to do with money from a blood relative and nearly a month or more later no charges made no press updates no nothing like kev says .

Its a murder investigation, you can't expect it on the news every day. Its not like tv shows where its all wrapped up in a day or two. A lot of it is painstaking stuff trawling through phone records, bank records, cctv footage, talking to witnesses, checking them out, corroborating their stories, its long and dull.

Just thought i'd alert people to the fact that the world has a new super-hero (or deluded fruitloop) in the guise of 'RED-EYE', the Runcorn vigilante. I seen a couple of reports in the local paper and thought it was kids making things up, but apparently not , basically he goes around with a mask with red eyes that are lit up and beats-up troublesome scally-wags. He is now on youtube, it's unintentionally funny and also a bit sad as i suspect he is no youngster and could all end in tears, or worse...

Ps no it's not me .

 

Well its better than old age pensioners getting beat up by a crank wearing a mask,gets a thumbs up from me.

Vigilantes wouldn't be needed if the police done there jobs properly. It's no good handing out badges of honour AKA ASBOs, coz lets face it , they don't work in the majority of cases. I agree with Franky, it's a thumbs up from me too.

i watch a lot of the reality programs like ice road truckers/coal/gold rush etc etc and the amount of times new federal laws coming in like health and safety/documents they need to do this and that is ridiculousness,they are getting fined left right and center ,telling a coal prospector who has been digging for gold for 70 years boy to man that he needs to do this and that is a scandal,what made me laugh you get some government feller who is about 30 telling a expert about what he cant do and what he can do and billing him for the pleasure of the so called advice and some paperwork he now needs is a joke,they are squeezing the life out of hard working men who do put there lives on the line to make a few bob.
frankyscouse {Ed001's Note - I wouldn't take it that any of these 'reality' TV shows have any real basis in reality mate. The programme maker will want to show the subject of the show in a certain light, in the ones you are talking about, it is a case of showing them to be striving against legislation etc. The problem is that without the health and safety legislation, big businesses would just have continued to put their workers into danger with no cares about their welfare. Yes, there are times it goes too far, but don't believe the nonsense in the shows, it is just to get you to identify with the characters in them.}

 

I get were your coming from edd tv show would not want to be associated for instance with a coal boss and a terrible accident happened which is down to a lack of safety precautions but i beg to differ this is like another way to tax these people, a bit like a legal mafia boss going in to a bar looking around and saying the bar needs the pipes cleaning and glasses washed and floors moped and dried before anyone gets in or it will be closed until we will bring a expert in to show you how to mop the floor, this expert will cost you 1 thousand pounds and the new documented papers you will need now will cost you 5 thousand pound each year from now on .
frankyscouse {Ed001's Note - I have worked in loads of different places and known plenty of bosses in others, never heard of anyone having to bring in an 'expert'. That's just rubbish, sorry.}
Agree · 0 · Disagree · 0
So because its never happened to you its rubbish?and the term expert means its anything but a expert , its just a piece of paper saying your ok to go ahead for a fee to prove it.
frankyscouse {Ed001's Note - no, because it doesn't happen except on 'reality' TV. Go ask in any restaurant what happens if they fail health and safety tests. They get a written report of things to fix and a date to get them done by. If they aren't done the place is closed down. No 'experts' sent in, just straight closure until the issues are fixed. Those programmes are as much a pack of lies as any propaganda show.}

I am not on about a run of the mill pub or restaurant my point is natural resources like gold/oil/coal are getting harder to run by families that have been doing it for generations because of the red tape and and bureaucracy.
frankyscouse {Ed001's Note - I would think it was more because now they have to pay fair wages and treat workers like human beings instead of slaves.}
Agree · 0 · Disagree · 0
It may have been the case 50 years ago but you cant judge these new regulations on fair pay and treating them like slaves as they only get paid if they hit the oil or find the gold, to me its another way to tax them.

Well just to add to what franky is saying have any of use heard about the new law for lorrys over 7.5ton? you now need an extra license to drive one for a business and have enough funds in the bank to operate i think its 3grand you also have to have everthing inspected once a year so my question is what is the point? as a small business owner with small margin in profit this has the potential to be devastating and for what? you already spend thousands getting an hgv licence and psv
