    Why is it always the one place in the middle of your back that itches like crazy when you can find the back scratcher? 
    Only one thing you can do...

    Well, OK, I know it's not the middle of the night, but this is one of those questions that simply cries out to be answered:

    If you could place an empty sphere in the exact center of the earth, a sphere that contained normal air at room temperature, and in the exact center of  that sphere if you were to place a perfectly symmetrical, perfectly balanced, spherical marble, would that marble float due to the forces of equal gravity upon it or would it compress under the weight of that gravity until it simply exploded and if so, what would the effect of that explosion be on the planet itself?  Or what other possibilities did I miss?

    These are the kinds of questions I need to know the answer to!

    Just one, Hobbes, and wouldn't you know it, it's all the way down there in the middle of the planet.  :frowning:

    I know what makes me a Stoner. But what makes me a Rogue Stoner? :pensive:

    I looked up the dictionary definition:

    1. a dishonest or unprincipled man.

    Nahhh, you're too cool for that.

    2. 
    an elephant or other large wild animal driven away or living apart from the herd and having savage or destructive tendencies.

    I think we're on to something.  That definition sounds bad but really, the rogue animals are important!  I had a roommate many years ago, brilliant and crazy kind of guy,  who came running into the house laughing and screaming at the same time yelling, "You guys!  Holy shit!  I just saw pink elephants running down on Geary Street!" 

    Had we thought of it, we would have said, "No, Arnold, it's OK, YOU are a Rogue Stoner, not the elephants!"

    I don't know about the "large" part of that but the wild, savage animal is fairly accurate. :lol:

    Average in size, above average in wild and savage.  Perfect!   :plus_one:

    Here's a good one my step daughter asked: 
    "What are pine cones made of?  Is it wood?  Is it something else?  What are they made of?"

    Well, once again it is not the middle of the night, but a pressing question has come to mind based on a statement I read recently that says there is more bacteria in your mouth than in your anus.  No way, said I! 

    But I had to know.  So I looked it up on line.

    Oh my GOD!  AUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

    Let;s just say this.  Science is rarely wrong about these things.  It's true! 
    But in any case, I'm still not parking my gum up the old dirt road.  :lol:

    A kilo! Wow!

    I've read the same about our skin.  We have about one thousand species of bacteria on our skin working to keep us alive.  Long live the germs, lol!

    Back to original question, I wake up often during the night, and I dream all night long, bizarre dreams, so I usually question, WTF was that all about?  Where the F did that come from?  Boil it down, my question is, how does it feel like I live a second life while I sleep but I manage to feel rested the next day?

    If humans were somehow wiped out in one fell swoop, would cows be capable of returning to a feral state? Guess it applies to all domesticated animals as well, lol.

    Good question.  My SWAG (scientific wild-ass guess) is that dogs would go wild quickly and eat a lot of beef.  Big cats might return and have their share of steaks.  Commercial raised bison herds might make of go of it if they could knock down some fencing.  But generally, I think cows would have a rough go of it!

    My question tonight is, "What would it be like to live in a converted boiler?"  (See Steinbeck's Cannery Row and Sweet Thursday for clues.)

    I'm generally lying there wondering how much time I have left on this planet and wondering what sort of shit I need to do to prepare myself for when I check out. In reality, the answer is nothing, because there's no one going to take it out on me because I won't be around anymore. Sorry to bring the mood down like this but these are the sort of things that really keep me awake during the night, these kind of depressive thoughts. Anyway, maybe in my next post I will discuss the various diseases that I worry I have multiple times throughout the night. Help me God.

    Some heavy night thoughts there, Conor.  I've done the same at time but try to remind myself to make the most each day I'm here.  Wishing you well.

    My simple thoughts about dying...
    Sometimes I long for it
    But mostly I don’t
    I’m too occupied with living
    That is why we are here
    To live
    Death will come sooner or later
    I’m hoping for later
    Much later
