Apparently, honey bees won't poop inside their hives. So sometimes during winter they will have what is called a "cleansing flight" where they all go outside the hive and poop together. This occurs on particularly warm winter days, since they would freeze to death otherwise (and some still might).

Nah, that'll never work.  Stealth techs are mandatory precursors to Dyson techs.

That's really kool, I didn't know that!  Something new I can tell my granddaughter!    But I'm wondering what that has to do with cold fusion and Dyson spheres? 

For mine, they'd be better off searching for intelligent life here on Earth.

Although we're supposedly civilized and at the top of the food chain for IQ/intelligence, I think mankind has regressed since Adam and Eve were naked in the Garden of Eden.  As the story goes, they covered themselve once they had lost their innocence, so their being naked and not naked is relevant to the devolution of mankind.  Now there's a misnomer... mankind.  To a great extent, man is far from kind.

Since then, when Adam and Eve felt the need to cover their rude bits, thus losing their innocence, mankind has become the most violent, corrupt and destructive species on the planet.  That suggests to me there is very little use of the intelligence God gave us, or a complete lack thereof.

As for rude bits, well they wouldn't be rude if Eve hadn't chomped into that Apple and conned Adam into chomping down on it as well. Thanks to that we have fashionistas making huge amounts of money for designing the better fig leaf... and millions of young lasses worldwide suffering either with bulemia or anorexia or both because the fashionistas created unrealistic expectations.

Frankly, I'd prefer the pre-apple era, myself. Not only would the fashionistas not be getting rich off promoting extremely skinny models, I wouldn't have to imagine what Kat Denning's puppies really look like... she'd be frickin' naked. 

Hmmm, a horrible thought just occurred to me.  I wouldn't want to see my ex naked, among others, so those who fall into that category... those "bugger that, I gotta turn the other way" types, should eat the damned apple.

Okay, so what has all this got to do with discovering Dyson Spheres/detecting alien lifeforms?  Plenty!  Even if we did discover there was Aliens in this or that galaxy, they're not going to want anything to do with us until mankind gets out of short britches and grows up.

Oh, and another thing, mankind needs to abolish bankers.  While we've got those evil parasites [read profiteering bastards] sucking the life out of us, no self-respecting alien is going to allow contact whatsoever.  Come to think of it, which I do, that should probably include lawyers, politicians and car salesmen.

So, before NASA or whoever gets serious about seeking and contacting alien life, we need to do some housekeeping, right?

Here's one... strange if not surprising.

I didn't believe it at first, but a workmate once told me that to get rid of warts you spit on them first thing when you wake up in the morning.  Your saliva is supposedly more potent at this time and contains enzymes that dissolve warts over 3 to 4 days, sometimes longer, depending on its age and size.  Anyhow, I had one one the back of my left hand that occasionally got knocked at work and bled... hence the advice, which I successfully tried.  After 5 days the wart had gone and hasn't returned since, which it had previously using various ointments, etc.

Another one....

If you get blisters on your hands from doing manual work you're not accustomed to, such as pick and shovel work, you pee on your hands a couple of times.  Apparently the ammonia and salts in the urine toughen/harden the skin against further blisters while helping to heal the ones you've got.

Also, soak your socks in cold black tea and let them dry prior to wearing to prevent foot odour.

I knew space was full of vacuums, but  I had no idea they were Dysons. With so much suction, that explains those black holes.

Yup, talk about pungently potent.  Word has it there were Vancouverites who complained about them... despite using scented nose plugs to diminish their olfactory senses.

Seriously, the absolute worst foot odour I ever encountered was from Shaunna's daughter, Bianca's worst half.  They came up from Tassie to visit and we sort of wish they... well that he hadn't.  He took off his shoes when they arrived and honestly, I was almost dry reaching, his feet were that bad.  Worse still, the stench hung around for 3 days after they left to go back the following day because his grandmother died.  No joke, 3 frickin' days.  My mother, who was living with us at the time, went to stay with my sister until it has dissipated.

Me, I don't have the problem. I could wear the same pair of socks every day for a week and they'd smell like roses.  Well maybe not roses, but, truly, you could put them under your nose and not feel ill.  My dad was the same, his feet did not produce that pungent cheese-like odour that so many other suffer with.

We got a strange and surprising thing right here in Pa.

When I first heard about this some years ago I couldn't believe it until I saw it on TV and heard them ringing. Truly awesome!

Hologram cannot beat triangulation.

Sure it can.

Dyson vacuum runs on a miniature dyson sphere!  Strange and wonderful. 

Black holes?  The dean of all things scientific just announced that he now thinks black holes do not exist. 

Starkers,  that special tea brew will now have special additive:  essence of sole.
