I’ve stumbled upon this interesting piece of text…

It may be preposterous to assume that intelligent life everywhere in the universe must derive only from slime and take an independent path to a random end. More likely, the moment that any life-form becomes advanced enough to travel in space, it does so, leaving its seed wherever it chooses to do so, and genetically engineering what it pleases, thus dominating the apparent choice of appearance. There are strong intelligence-enhancing reasons why we have two legs, two eyes, two arms, etc., as do other relatively intelligent beings on this planet like the mountain gorillas. If we can genetically engineer corn to kill Monarch butterflies, then surely ETs can mold local life-forms to reflect their own chosen characteristics, such as a humanoid appearance. It would be much more surprising if intelligent life everywhere were radically different from us in general appearances. The Star Wars bar scene may be much less likely than the films ET or Close Encounters.

It is also instructive, especially for fundamentalists who prefer their Bible straight-up to review Genesis 1:26 in the original Greek:

“And the elohim [plural] said, ‘Let us [plural] make the Adam in our [plural] image, after our [plural] likeness…’”

What’s with the “we” business? Why have we papered over this interesting choice of holy words and made a singular male God out the text? Whose idea was that? There are many scholars today who believe that a revision of the Bible is in order, going back to the most ancient of roots and re-examining our true origins. We may be the ETs. Zechariah Sitchin, in particular, (see The 12th Planet, for example) has championed the idea that humankind derives from an ET origin. If so, then it should not be surprising that we are indeed made in their image.

Hey,

I just realized that Windows 7 has an awesome feature – changing the location of the desktop.

With previous windows versions you had the possibility to “right-mouse-click” My Documents and then change the location to another hard drive. The same thing can now be done with the actual Desktop, so all files and folders saved on the desktop are saved onto another hard drive!

Use the Windows Explorer and navigate to: Computer – Local Disk (C:) – Users – “Your User Name” and there you will see the desktop folder. Right mouse click the desktop and chose properties, then in the menu click on the location tab and “move” it to another hard drive.

Why should you do this? Simple – You are using Windows! Windows tends to f$&^ up eventually and you need to format C and reinstall windows. IF/WHEN this happens, you won’t have to worry about any files on the desktop getting lost, as the actual location of the desktop is on another hard drive and a format C won’t delete them

The desktop is not all though, you can move pretty much everything to another hard drive, including the Pictures, Videos etc folders.

I just had a great time at Thaiwaii Bar & Restaurant on Soi 80 in Hua Hin.

The food is awesome and the company very nice.

Recommend the place to anyone who comes to Hua Hin or lives here
