if you could know the answer to ONE historical question,

edited February 2008 in All Encompassing Trip
what would it be? what are you most interested to know the answer to? here's a few examples.....

*who was Jack the Ripper?
*who killed JFK?
*who's got the brain of JFK?
*and what's it mean to us now?
*what happened at Roswell?
*how did the Egyptian's build the pyramids?
*how was Stonehenge created?
*what was the "holy grail"?
*what happened to the holy grail?
*what happened to the body of Jesus?
*is there intelligent life on other planets?
*did Cobain really commit suicide?
*is Elvis really dead?
*did a meteor really kill the dinosaurs?

other examples?


for some reason, the Jack the Ripper thing has always fascinated me, and that's probably the one of the above that has the least amount of relevance or consequence. I guess I've read so many books and sites on that subject that I'd just like to know who he was, since there's about half a dozen "suspects" that are all equally interesting.

    What came first? The chicken or the egg?

    yeah, the answer to the Jesus question would have a major impact on how a large portion of the world views religion. the chicken and the egg thing was pretty good too.

    here's a few more I thought of.....

    *did man really land on the moon or was it faked?
    *did the Chicago "Black Sox" really throw the world series?
    *were Bonds and Clemens really juiced?
    *who killed the "Black Dahlia"?
    *were Hiroshima/Nagasaki just a display to scare the Russians?
    *what was the origin of the AIDS virus?

    I have always thought that landing on the moon was fake. It was just props and a Hollywood set!! :)

    how about,

    was she faking it?

    does size really not matter?


    c'mon people, the important thngs : )

    really though, im going through this whole JFK thing right now, so that is what i would pick. think about it, if we find that out, that would open the door to so many other things, like MLK, RFK, and maybe even the moon thing since JFK is the one who challenged us to go to the moon.

    Maybe if you cracked a history book or did just an ounce of research, you'd discover that half the questions you've asked do, in fact, already have answers.

    actually genius, ALL of them have answers, but the answers aren't known to us. the meteor killing the dinosaurs is the only one of the questions that is even closely answered in any history book. and even that is just a theory. now, explain which of the other questions are answered in a history book and name the history book so I can find it.

    In nature, living things evolve through changes in their DNA. In an animal like a chicken, DNA from a male sperm cell and a female ovum meet and combine to form a zygote -- the first cell of a new baby chicken. This first cell divides innumerable times to form all of the cells of the complete animal. In any animal, every cell contains exactly the same DNA, and that DNA comes from the zygote.

    Chickens evolved from non-chickens through small changes caused by the mixing of male and female DNA or by mutations to the DNA that produced the zygote. These changes and mutations only have an effect at the point where a new zygote is created. That is, two non-chickens mated and the DNA in their new zygote contained the mutation(s) that produced the first true chicken. That one zygote cell divided to produce the first true chicken.

    Prior to that first true chicken zygote, there were only non-chickens. The zygote cell is the only place where DNA mutations could produce a new animal, and the zygote cell is housed in the chicken's egg. So, the egg must have come first.

    To me, and this is just me I'm sure, the biblical questions are a little more significant than say, if Cobain really killed himself or not.

    I'd like them all answered. Let me go ask Jeeves...

    * if Adam and Eve were the first 2 people on earth.. then how did the human race populate itself? and if it really is incest that is the answer then why are hillbillies so frowned upon... surely they are the closest living relatives to Adam and Eve?


    * If Noah took 2 of every animal onto his Ark for a big flood which was going to wipe out all life, then what happened to the sea creatures left behind? a flood wouldnt kill a shark... they fucking love floods.

    JFK, it would answer so many questions.

    I've always thought of the JFK question as more of a why? question, rather than a what? or who?.

    right after i posted my rply to this, ( back on the first page ) my local news ch. had a blurb about lastnights news cast saying there were documents found in a locker in dallas about the JFK deal. i agree, this would answer many more questions. as far as the your post, i believe if we can figure out the why, the who will follow very shortly.
