7 ) plastic caps and lids

The Age of Time Machines
Thursday, January 21st, 2010The Age of Time Machines may be upon us! (In fact if it’s ever been the Age of Time Machines then it has always been the Age of Time Machines.)
Over the course of 2009 two individuals came forward as whistleblowers concerning DARPA and the US Air Force’s manipulation of time.
Dr. David Lewis Anderson came forward in a radio interview as having direct experience with time control research done for the U.S. Air Force.
Anderson also has his own private firm, the Anderson Institute, that investigates time manipulation techniques, or the technically correct term, ChronoTripping.
Earlier in 2009, Andrew D. Basiago also came forward as having knowledge about DARPA’s work on“Project Pegasus”.
How does one perceive time?
Now how does one travel through time? Let’s look at the options.
Interestingly enough, the timey-wimey-wibbly-wobbly WebBot from Half Past Human predicted the emergence of time manipulation “whistleblowers” earlier in 2009. The WebBot examines the emotional value of words across the Internet and uses it to create a poetic prediction of the recent future.
Of course, sometimes time travel is only as far away as your kitchen sink.

Elephants (more realistic):

Though it is true that trainers have played some role in the elephant paintings, I think the facts of the situations still add up to an extraordinary insight into animal consciousness. Further information on the subject:
