In EVERY two-swan relationship ... with very few exceptions, like a hunter getting both at the same time .. one swan will die before the other one dies. That means that about 50% of the swan population that are "married" will be swan "widows" or "widowers". I find it IMPOSSIBLE to believe that 1% figure. It seems impossible to determine, and impossible to verify. ...even counting swan feet ... and dividing by two.

I trust NOBODY .... that is where I am coming from.

Witness: Thanks for paying the money to open an account at "beenverified". I will continue my investigations, but as a teenager I read something that deeply affected me, as I had already been evolving that way. The Robert A. Heinlein book "Stranger in a Strange Land", from 1961 was probably one of the most read Science Fiction books of that era, because of the philosophy contained inside , exemplified by the characters in the book.  This is what Wikipedia says about this ....." " “I am a fair witness, not a participant.”  What is a fair witness ?  A fair witness is a character type from the 1961 science fiction novel Stranger in a Strange Land by the American author Robert A. Heinlein.  The novel tells the story of Valentine Michael Smith, a human who comes to Earth in early adulthood after being born on the planet Mars and raised by Martians. The novel explores his interaction with — and eventual transformation of — terrestrial culture. Several later editions of the book have promoted it as “the most famous science fiction novel ever written”. While initially a success among science fiction readers, over the following years word-of-mouth caused sales to build, requiring numerous subsequent printings after the first edition. Eventually Stranger in a Strange Land became a cult classic. A fair witness is a fictional profession invented for the novel. A fair witness is an individual trained to observe events and report exactly what he or she sees and hears, making no extrapolations or assumptions. A photographic memory is a prerequisite for the job, although this may be attainable with suitable training. In Heinlein’s society, a fair witness is an absolutely reputable source of information. By custom, a fair witness acting professionally, generally wearing distinctive white robes, is never addressed directly, and is never acknowledged by anyone present. A fair witness is prohibited from drawing conclusions about what they observe. For example, a character in the book is asked to describe the color of a house seen in the distance. The character responds, “It’s white on this side”; whereupon it is explained that one would not assume knowledge of the color of the other sides of the house without being able to see them. Furthermore, after observing another side of the house one should not then assume that any previously seen side was still the same color as last reported, even if only minutes before." — from Wikipedia This is important .... " Furthermore, after observing another side of the house one should not then assume that any previously seen side was still the same color as last reported, even if only minutes before." I will be busy for the next few days, but will continue the investigation and actually pay money to various sites to do this .... and to verify what YOU did. Because the implications of this are so very heinous ... there has to be ABSOLUTE proof before a conclusion is drawn. I would hope that all those who devoted so much time and effort to the "607" discussions will get involved with some REAL serious investigations. THIS ... is where "the rubber meets the road"

TURTLE WAX !

Why is it that no one ever mentions that Jesus was 3'9" tall and had a brother that looked almost exactly like Danny DiVito?

Apparently the Russian Government is smart enough to figure out the "Three Card Monte". Who knew?

...works good for bees, also.

I am "not in the market" for Sisters, anymore ... but the next time I am at an assembly I will count how many brothers and sisters there are. It's really quite simple to do ... because they are wearing either non-tight pants ... or skirts ... just count the legs, and divide by two.

Did you know that Bruce Wayne's cat is really Batman?

I edited my comment to clarify which picture I was considering .... I should have been clearer .... and funnier!

... and every year .. I have less and less hair. ... sigh

I am so smart and clever ... they use my Dandruff to make vitamins.

I tried to duplicate what is shown in the Video, and was unable to do it. I even wrote an email to the Sheriff of Tuxedo Park, NY asking about their supposed resident Stephen Lett, but I have not as of 1-18-2018 received a reply. I remember years ago, circa 1989, when some researchers claimed they had produced "Cold Fusion" in a laboratory ... and it sounded like a fraud TO ME, as nuclear fusion normally takes about 30 million degrees F to produce more energy than it takes to force two hydrogen atoms together. I still remember the names .. Pons, and Fleischmann. I think it was a University in Utah. At any rate... the experiments to produce cold fusion HAD to be repeatable ... and they were not. In similar manner, the accusations made HERE against the Governing Body on the basis of investigations I could not repeat ... it all went by too fast on the video ... until there is something I can actually REPEAT to verify ... I will consider this an "apostate fraud". It is my considered opinion that YOU SHOULD ALSO. TRUST NO ONE ... and you will never be disappointed. That having been said ... it MIGHT be true, and I will continue to investigate. Since it is SO IMPORTANT (and it really, Really, REALLY, REALLY is ...) to know the truth about this issue ....perhaps from "somewhere" someone will produce a verifiable investigation that can be REPEATED. ( In this case by a slow to comprehend 71 year old man who has to tell people on the phone to SLOW DOWN, they are talking too fast..) Until then... TRUST NO ONE !!

There is a post-menopausal Sister at our Kingdom Hall that if she did not shave, probably would look like that picture by Bible Speaks .... so I would say ... RUTH!.

I am always looking for the PRACTICAL application of theory, and have many times light-heartedly said that is the main reason I do not lie. But then again ..... I could be lying NOW! When a man speaks of his honor ....... make him pay CASH.

Did you create this drawing or painting YOURSELF? This is gorgeous !!

This is why the Chinese, when they get irritated at someone's tardiness ... look at them impatiently and say "Chop! Chop!"

From the headline ... my first thought was that Bob the Dinosaur got the longevity award for escaping extinction by hiding behind peoples' sofas. I was surprised it was Bob Dole who got the longevity award for escaping extinction by hiding behind peoples' sofas.

AllenSmith: Thanks for the complement ... ridiculous is what I was going for !
