Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

Akhenaten wasn't the most manly pharaoh, even though he fathered at least a half-dozen children. Dr. Irwin Braverman, a Yale University physician who analyzed images of Akhenaten, has a new theory on why: The female form was due to a genetic mutation that caused the pharaoh's body to convert more male hormones to female hormones than needed, Braverman believes. And Akhenaten's head was misshapen because of a condition in which skull bones fuse at an early age.

Chin up dethspud... if this ghoulish misshapen tranny can get tail, maybe you'll lose that virginity yet...

Whoa there skippy, don't hit publish just yet... I meant with a woman.

I get to be the first to say it this time: He must've been a Republican

Do I get a prize for this very, very witty and original retort?

Typical stupid Republican wedding:

"A bride and groom arrested at their wedding reception after the bride trashed a set of conga drums in a spat with the band have pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct."

Yet another dumbass Republican crook:

A convenience-store thief got away, but the video from the security camera told a strange, strange tale. A man broke into the store overnight, and tried to cover his tracks by burning the place down. He threw charcoal lighter fluid around, but by the time he ignited it, the fumes had permeated the store, and he set himself on fire. While in flames, he grabbed a roll of lottery tickets and fled. At the time of the story, police were looking for a man with facial, neck, and possibly wrist burns.

Typical stupid Republican wedding:

No, if it was a republican, it would have been a groom and a groom. They were obviously democrats. Besides, a republican would not hire a band with conga drums. That's definitely a democrat trait

Coming to these conclusions based solely on the 'evidence' of portraits and statues is pretty shaky science.

I think there is an equally likely explanation: The guy was vain about his image and made sure the artists who did those portraits portrayed him as he saw himself. He was probably short and fat but the artists preferred keeping their heads attached to their bodies over artistic accuracy.

Looks like Spud has hacked Goatman's password again!!!

A convenience-store thief got away,

Wrong again. Did you forget that the republicans control all the money in the country and keep the poor and downtrodden under their jackboot heel? Why would a rich republicthugiciniancunt rob a store.

Also, the lottery ticket thing is a giveaway. Only democrats buy them as that is their retirement plan strategy.

Again, obviously a democrat

Looks like Spud has hacked Goatman's password again!!!

Be well

Yet another dumbshit Republican:

HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, FL June 8
An employee of the Lucky Buffet noticed a strange sight on arriving at the restaurant. There were legs hanging out of a vent over the grill! 45-year-old Republican Billy Jordan had tried to enter the restaurant the night before by climbing through the ductwork, but became stuck and stayed there for ten hours. Hillsborough County Fire Rescue workers used a rope to pull Republican Jordan back out through the roof, after which he was arrested for burglary.

Yet another dumbshit Republican:

HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, FL June 8


*sigh* wrong again. Check the dateline. Florida is a democratic state. If it wasn't it would not have been necessary for Bush to manipulate the 2000 election and steal the presidency.

Obviously a democrat if he's from Florida

The first of the Trans gendered...

1. I have a new role-model
2. I think I'm in love...

Be Well.

Another dumbass Republican:

ASHLAND, KY August 13
Police say Republican Kasey Kazee entered Shamrock Liquors and attempted to rob the store. Employees were astonished that he had disguised his face by wrapping it in duct tape! The store manager chased him out with a baseball bat and an employee held him in the parking lot until police arrived. Police removed the duct tape after taking pictures, and arrested Republican Kazee, who denied any memory of the incident.

Here you go Null:

Friday, May 2, 2008; Page A07

Rep. Vito J. Fossella (R-N.Y.) was arrested early yesterday in Alexandria and charged with driving while intoxicated, court records showed.

Fossella is scheduled to appear in Alexandria General District Court on May 12 for an advisement hearing, the records said. No other details of the arrest were immediately available.

"Last night I made an error in judgment," Fossella said in a statement released by his office. "As a parent, I know that taking even one drink of alcohol before getting behind the wheel of a car is wrong. I apologize to my family and the constituents of the 13th Congressional District for embarrassing them, as well as myself."

Fossella was elected to Congress in a special election in November 1997. His district includes Staten Island and the Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights, Bensonhurst and Gravesend neighborhoods of Brooklyn.

Fossella, a member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, began his political career in 1994, when he was elected to the New York City Council.

Police say Republican Kasey Kazee entered Shamrock Liquors and attempted to rob the store

Did you forget that the republicans own all the money and do not need to rob stores? Besides if it was a Republican, he would've gone for the Remy Martens VSOP, or maybe a Chateau Lafitte Rothschild 1948 to go with his beef Wellington -- not the money. duh

Another Democrat

EGYPT'S IDOL

Dumbass Republican crime wave continues:


LITTLE ROCK, AR September 7
21-year-old Republican Langston Robins walked right past a uniformed police officer at the Metropolitan Bank and handed a robbery note to the teller. The unarmed would-be robber was arrested after a foot pursuit. Little Rock police spokesman Lt. Terry Hastings said:

"I just don't know why he didn't see a uniformed police officer standing basically right in front of him," Hastings tells the Associated Press. "My guess is he's just not the brightest of people."

More idiotic Republican crimes:


GENEVA, NY September 13
29-year-old Republican Vincent Estrada Junior was pulled over because the car he was driving had been stolen from a parking lot. Estrada explained that he had stolen the car in order to drive to the Geneva City Police Department and turn himself in on a family court warrant! He didn't make his destination, as police took him to the Ontario County Jail instead, where he was held on car theft charges.

LITTLE ROCK, AR September 7

Little Rock = Clintons = Democrats

Besides, do you really think a Republican would lower himself to robbing a liquor store? Fuck no. He'd be on Wall St stealing oil futures and hedge funds at gunpoint. Get a clue

Another Democrat Gone Wild for your DVD collection

29-year-old Republican Vincent Estrada Junior was pulled over because the car he was driving had been stolen from a parking lot.

Was the car an expensive European import like a Mercedes, Audi, or BMW or gas guzzler like a Hummer? Or was it a Hyndai or Prius? Not enough data to tell if this one was a Republican or Democrat.

Wow. Can always count on Goatman taking the bait, er, responding. No wonder BuffaloBob calls him his puppet.

Wow. Can always count on Goatman taking the bait, er, responding.

Please, null -- tell me that you are joking and that you are not stupid enough to think that those responses are real and not a joke.

Please tell me you are not so ignorant that you missed the jokes.

Can always count on Goatman taking the bait, er, responding.

Though I have suspected it in the past, it becomes more clear with your every post that "null" is a valid part of your on-screen handle. Not only does it literally express a void, but it rhymes with "dull", as in your inability to see a joke.

Yeah, well it's hard to know around here, Goatman. But I'm glad you have a sense of humor and recognize what I'm doing. Have a drink. On me. :)


Now you know why my little pinada is named "Nullidiot" (grin)

And now for another Republican crime:

WHITLEY BAY, England September 17
Usually, the burglar robs the house while the victim is asleep, but in this story, the roles were reversed. 24-year-old Republican Mark Smith sneaked into Heather Stephenson's home, crept past her while she was ironing, and rifled through her belongings in the bedroom. Then he fell asleep under her bed. Mrs. Stephenson couldn't wake him, and police officers had to drag him out from under the bed. Smith's vodka and valium consumption were to blame. He received an 18-month sentence for burglary.

Now you know why my little pinada is named "Nullidiot" (grin)

Nothing stronger than coffee on an offshore oil rig.

Ohhh, my first ever "weirdo" flag. I'm honored.

Smith's vodka and valium consumption were to blame.

Aagain, a Democrat. A republican would be hopped up on oxycontin and a single malt scotch.

"Ohhh, my first ever "weirdo" flag. I'm honored."

It's because of the "(grin)."

A republican would be hopped up on oxycontin and a single malt scotch.

Would being hopped up on oxys and Black Russians qualify one as a registered independent?


(I can't even put a "grin" after that comment cause Nullidiot would flag me as a "weirdo")

Another prefessor reinventing the wheel.

You want to see a pharaoh who looked like a lady? Check out Hatshepsut. Much nicer tits than Akhenaten.

But seriously...

The whole Akhenaten story is fascinating, especially since so little is really known. One thing is certain about the androgynous pharaoh: he really pissed off a whole lot of folks.

Who Was King Tut's Father?
news.nationalgeographic.com

Doesn't say so in the article, but the conference at which Braverman presented his findings---and, my comments above nothwithstanding, they are very interesting---is "The Historical CPC" (CPC = Clinicopathologic Conference), which the University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore VA Medical Center, and the Medical Alumnni Associaton have been putting on since 1995. More info at www.medicalalumni.org

The Akhenaten relief shows three different peoples of Aten, all devoting golden cakes. I kind of expected analysis of the work itself, and thus wiki:
"
Akhenaten's religious reforms (later regarded heretical and reverted by his successor Tutankhamun) have been described as the earliest known example of monotheistic thought and heralded as a possible indication that the Egyptians were the source of Judeo-Christian thought."

Monotheistic?

That's one theory about Akhenaten's Aten-based religious views. There's another, which basically sets forth the idea that Egyptian religon under Akhenaten remained pantheistic but with Aten raised above all other deities. In any event, Akhenaten's successors did their damndest to wipe out most physical reminders of his existence. (And, in true 1984 style, some name changes were in order: "Tutankhaten" became "Tutankhamun.")

Great Hymn to the Aten

How manifold it is, what thou hast made!
They are hidden from the face (of man).
O sole god, like whom there is no other!
Thou didst create the world according to thy desire,
Whilst thou wert alone: All men, cattle, and wild beasts,
Whatever is on earth, going upon (its) feet,
And what is on high, flying with its wings.
The countries of Syria and Nubia, the land of Egypt,
Thou settest every man in his place,
Thou suppliest their necessities:
Everyone has his food, and his time of life is reckoned.
Their tongues are separate in speech,
And their natures as well;
Their skins are distinguished,
As thou distinguishest the foreign peoples.
Thou makest a Nile in the underworld,
Thou bringest forth as thou desirest
To maintain the people (of Egypt)
According as thou madest them for thyself,
The lord of all of them, wearying (himself) with them,
The lord of every land, rising for them,
The Aton of the day, great of majesty.

Psalm 104

104:1 Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.
104:2 Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:
104:3 Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:
104:4 Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:
104:5 Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.
104:6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.
104:7 At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.
104:8 They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.
104:9 Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.
104:10 He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.
104:11 They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst.
104:12 By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches.
104:13 He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.
104:14 He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;
104:15 And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart.
104:16 The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;
104:17 Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.
104:18 The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies.
104:19 He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.
104:20 Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.
104:21 The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God.
104:22 The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens.
104:23 Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.
104:24 O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
104:25 So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.
104:26 There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.
104:27 These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season.
104:28 That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.
104:29 Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.
104:30 Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.
104:31 The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works.
104:32 He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.
104:33 I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
104:34 My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.
104:35 Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD.

Oh, possibly also in reference to golden cakes:

105:37 He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.

Whoops, here it is again:

105:40 The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

Interesting posts, RedLilghtRobot.

"It is widely accepted that there are strong similarities between Akhenaten's Great Hymn to the Aten and the Biblical Psalm 104, though this form is found widespread in ancient Near Eastern hymnology both before and after the period and whether this implies a direct influence or a common literary convention remains in dispute."
en.wikipedia.org

halexandria.org easy-bake ormus:

"David Radius Hudson has made a persuasive argument that the Ark of the Covenant was a device for transporting the Manna and the ORME, aka the Philosopher's Stone. He notes that because of the Superconductivity of the ORME, it had to be treated with kid gloves, and in fact anyone approaching it without being in "resonance with it" (i.e. having ingested some of the ORME itself, and thus acting as superconductors to some degree themselves), they were very likely to be destroyed by a magnetic Meissner Field flux collapse. This notable danger with respect to the Ark was communicated very strongly.

More than one Israelite was wiped out by the Ark of the Covenant, from those on the trek from Egypt who wanted to join Moses and Aaron in worshipping before the Ark, to a poor sole who attempted to stop the Ark from tipping before entering the city of David. In the interim, there were instances of the Ark being used to blast enemies of the Israelites, but also the Israelites being caught in a backlash and dying themselves. By the time of the building of the Temple of Solomon, it was clear the Ark needed to be housed in a secure location, and kept far from the common people -- those without a resonant quality."

I realize that for someone in the scientific community you expect something as cold as stationary sodium atoms, liquefied, rarified and magnetized.
Apparently there may be other means, natures and methods - that coming from a non-scientific, God-worshipping perspective these concepts are quite obvious enough.

What more could you ask? It's a mystery of freakin' blueprints masoned in cathedrals, temples and reliefs ala National Treasure or DeVinci Code, fresh religious texts providing completely a alien Veda story, electrocutions, explosions and biological technology. DC Fontana would be proud.

Don't expect medical profession to approach superconductivity, biotechnology of this nature becomes apparently superior to modern medical practice.

Medical researchers patented AIDS cure in 1990
..
In the Fall of 1990, two medical researchers, Drs. William Lyman and Steven Kaali, working at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City made an important discovery. They found that they could inactivate the HIV virus by applying a low voltage direct current electrical potential with an extremely small current flow to AIDS infected blood in a test tube. Initially, they discovered this in the lab by inserting two platinum electrodes into a glass tube filled with HIV-1 (type 1) infected blood.

They applied a direct current to the electrodes and found that a current flow in the range of 50-100 microamperes (uA) produced the most effective results. Practically all of the HIV viral particles were adversely affected while normal blood cells remained unharmed. The viral particles were not directly destroyed by the electric current, but rather the outer protein coating of the virus was affected in such a way as to prevent the virus from producing reverse tran scri ptase, a necessary enzyme needed by the virus to invade human cells.

Reverse tran scri ptase allows the virus to enter a human T cell line (called CEM-SS) and commandeer the DNA reproduction machinery. After using the host cell to reproduce itself into thousands of new virii, the swollen host cell (now called syncytia or giant cell) will burst and spew the contents into the bloodstream or lymph system. This is how the virus spreads, but lacking reverse tran scri ptase, the HIV virus can't invade the host cell and it becomes vulnerable to destruction by the body's immune system. (The details of this experiment can be read from Kaali's patent application.)

John Bardeen, Leon Cooper, and Robert Schrieffer are laughing somewhere.

For communicating complex ideas symbology is king. All letters, numbers and characters are symbols. All symbols are letters, etc. Letters are organized into a dataset. Dataset can be reorganized into any other dataset. Translation achieved. When you translate non-letters as numbers, vice-verse and whatnot you conjoin new protocols of organization. Again, these are simply esoteric, but the point is you might see a beautiful 18 year old's tits, but someone else might see an enraged father nearing his third stroke..:]

Graham Hancock prolly already released coffee table editions, he's so gifted for corollary work. [/humor]

Oh, crap... statues, painting and pyramids convey so much culturally, technically and psychologically, I'm not sure that writing is required to establish their "proper functions" either. I'm shutting up now.
