    The amount of crabs you can fit in a bucket depends on the size of the bucket and the width of the crab.

    But what if you mush them up? Changes the whole dynamic don't it.

    I for the first time read about the 'Mandella Effect' and completely understood it. It does happen. People in large numbers can forget things that did happen.....and more worryingly....falsely remember things that did not happen...Stories get altered and retold and retold until we forget that they were even altered at all and remember it always being that way

    Very George Orwell - '1984' type *.

    They can keep telling you something happened until you....first believe that it did.....then remember that it did....you now remember it....so it must be true.

    They can also stop telling you something. Never mention it again. Ignore when it's brought up. Then deny it's what they had said. Until they deny that they said anything at all. Then you forget that they'd said anything.....if you forget it and nobody remembers...then it obviously didn't happen did it?

    Mandella Effect - Some Serious *

    How people are either oblivious to, or are completely ignoring th power of propaganda in this country.

    How people watch programs about Kim Jung-Un and how he controls the minds of everyone in North Korea. How he controls what they are being told...what they are allowed to know and find out....what outside influences they are subjected or given access to. How the internet is mostly withheld from the population...and if allowed...severely censored and edited to serve the purpose of isolation and the prevention of further investigation of facts.

    How here in Freedom Land people are lured into thinking that they are privalged to live in a 'democracy' where that type of brainwashing cant happen. How people think that because they have been told about North Korea and its mind control and lies that they should be grateful that they live in a free country that promotes nothing but freedom and the truth.
    It never crosses their mind that it could be exactly what our government is doing to us. That they are also victims of mass propaganda and brainwashing...and that they just don't know it or realise what's happening.

    They tell us about bad places in the world where brainwashing is obvious. Just because they tell us that doesn't mean it's not happening right here, right now aswell, to us, as we speak

    Bonnie Tyler recorded and sang 'The Best' before Tina Turner, and neither of them wrote the song.

    There were no pockets on the pool tables in the "Beat it" video

    Edit - because they are billiards tables, d'oh!

    Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and the Alphabet Song are exactly the same tune, just different lyrics.

    So who sampled who here?

    2025 is a square year. The only one we will all live through on here. (45x45)

    The last square year was 1936 and the next one is 2116(?) I think.

    When my daughter was a toddler she had this walker that had buttons and tunes and stuff.

    I was sitting in the living room at 2am once and the toy started playing a tune out of nowhere. Home on the Range, which just happens to be the tune of a filthy anti Catholic hun song.

    I really considered launching the walker in the bin but my daughter loved it :giggle1:

    My wee lassie (who's turning 18 on saturday) used to have a kids book where it did the same, different buttons and it played wee tunes. A Disney thing

    Well it played "Hail Hail" which when I searched it was a song from the early 20th century called "Hail Hail the Gang's All Here".
    Quite clearly though everyone noticed it was playing 'Hail Hail the Celts as Here'.....and I used to get her to hit that button constantly.
    One time in the que at Greggs. Big fat hun family in front if us..all wearing the non-sectarian, simply coincidental, orange hun away top.
    She kept pressing the button over and over and the fat head hun of the family eventually got so annoyed that he walked away from his pie fix and left the que in an obvious rage and the rest of the inbreds followed. It was really funny and another woman in the que clocked what had happened and gave ma wee lassie a fiver.

    Funny stuff so it was

    Cannae wait

    I love Global Warming. What lovely weather it brings to Scotland. Washing hung oot. Bbq for yer dinner. Just like neighbours and home and away. It's wonderful.
    I don't mind the polar ice caps melting to be honest. It breaks the day up a bit. Something different to take yer mind off things.

    People just like to moan and complain.

    So far for me. I'm a big fan of warmer weather. Don't personally mind Global Warming at all

    Ach well.....

    The question you've got to ask yourself is.....

    Is there anything we can possibly do to prevent this happening?

    To my understanding there is * all we can do about it.

    So what is the point in worrying about something that you cannot change, affect or alter?

    Zero point in worrying. If it happens.....then it happens. Smile and take it on the chin. Just like the Great Flood, the mud slides that destroyed the Tartarian civilisation, or the numerous Ice Ages. Stuff happens. Deal with it....
