If either one of them ritualistically intones"For Science!" I am leaving . . .

There's a webcomic I read that had a story arc where the autistic girl had an orgy/gangbang and as she switched partners after exhausting the previous one she would enthusiastically exclaim "For Science!" I'm not sure where a sole female/multiple males encounter goes from orgy to gangbang even with the sole female organizing the event.
I ride my bike to ride my bike, and sometimes it takes me where I need to go.

It seems to be fully consensual, and that's the important part.

That is not what I was referencing . . . if WeirdScience said "For Science" - RUN!

One of the more memorable - i.e. not amnesia-inducing - incidents resulted in Spigeons . . . Though M-Div (Magic Division) may have been involved in that one too . . .

So, thinking about the topic of their discussion a bit...
  • "Stone Tape" - ghosts, as memories of events "recorded in stone" and being replayed later.
  • The memories can be encoded in a form of information-holding dark matter, or in the Akashic Record (which seems to be a field pervading all of space)
  • Maintaining and/or accessing the memories in a coherent form, seems to require that one contain them somehow.
  • This containment is best done with some form of reflective surface or material.
This could actually explain a lot... because reflective surfaces don't just simply reflect and contain. They can also focus whatever it is they're reflecting. A curved surface will focus sound, or light, or microwaves, or etc. down to a point.

So, is this why so many vision quests, in so many cultures, take place in the outdoors - particularly, in the mountains? The curving walls of stone act to reflect and focus the information in the Akashic Record, concentrating it and making the "old wisdom" and "memories of the elders" easier to sense and understand? If you're at the focal point, you can "hear" the messages of those far away and long ago - sort of like a psychic "whispering gallery"?

If so, I call dibs on the big slope of fallen rock near Half Dome, in Yosemite. I've always wanted my very own taluscope.

A concave surface will somewhat focus radiation of whatever sort towards a point . . . IIRC for a solid focus a parabola is needed . . . and convex surfaces will reflect radiations or emanations so as to dissapate them.

Sounds plausible . . . though it could also be due to moving away from interference, especially from interference from living people . . .

The pun jar is glaring pointedly and tapping its foot, Dave . . .

I place a copy of "101 Essential Rock Records" into the Pun Jar... it's pure Gold.
