Real quick post. I just woke up from a strange dream where I was surrounded by friendly chatty girls who kept feeding me candy. It was a rather boring dream, as dreams go, but at the end, something made me go WOAH. We all stood up to go to a different room, and that was... Continue Reading →
Hehehe. Between the time I wrote the last posting, 2030 and the New Me, there has been a bit of a change. The timeline has shifted another decade. Looks like it's a moving target, but that's to be expected. Google co-founder Larry Page said "...if we can survive until the 2040s, we can “live long enough... Continue Reading →
What an image! Strong. Long black hair. Fierce. And he's holding a sword in one hand and something that looks like a candy bar in the other hand. What a man! I was curious what type of guy this was, so I did me some preliminary research aka googling. Initial exploration yielded an odd amalgamation... Continue Reading →
I got something you need to hear. Go ahead. Click on the video. https://youtu.be/gmfVBHPKnFg Annoying isn't it? You'd have to describe to me, what you hear because I can't hear it. Obviously, my years as a singer in a rock band has completely destroyed my ears. I played it just now and although I hear... Continue Reading →
(Continued from Lên Đồng 3: Mother Goddess) We have a lot of Immortals, Kings, Queens, Generals, and Court People. Thousands of years worth of people. There is no way to maintain precise documents. The Han Chinese used sections of the Three Word Book to maintain the names of their rulers in some manageable way. We... Continue Reading →

The Chinese have their Zhōngguó mínjiān xìnyǎng. And us Việts, we have our Đạo Mẫu. I am not surprised that this is so. Remember,... Continue Reading →
(Continued from Lên Đồng 1: Ancient Ceremonial Spirit Possession Ritual) Ancient Oracles Throughout the ages, there have been endless claims of spirit possessions. As early as 1500-1100 BCE, we have Pythia, the Oracle of Delphi. There is also Dodona, and the Trophonius. And of course, who can forget the shrine maidens of Sibyl from 5th... Continue Reading →
(THIS IS JUST A TEST Y'ALL. I TYPED UP A FLUFF BLOG REAL FAST, JUST SO I CAN TEST THE EMAIL READ MORE FEATURE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF IT WORKS. THANKS! ) My favorite scientists all wear white lab coats---but only when it's cold in the lab. Otherwise, they wear grungy old tees and... Continue Reading →
Just a quick thought. Dashing out the door but figured I could fire off a single idea. Taobabe is getting too bogged down with numerous ideas spreading out like a tangled spider's web. I was supposed to be talking about Taoism when I first started this blog in 2005. It's now 2020 and it is... Continue Reading →
(Continued from Organic Alchemistry 7: Garden of Eden)Modern-day CRISPR BabiesYep. You heard me right. I said MODERN-DAY CRISPR BABIES...as opposed to ANCIENT-DAY CRISPR BABIES. (Lookie that, I made up another word). It's not as if this sort of genetic tinkering hasn't been done throughout the musty ages of a distant past (see Organic Alchemistry 7:... Continue Reading →
