  1. I disagree with the claim that coffee doesn't dehydrate. Although you get water when drinking coffee, the coffee causes your cells to excrete electrolytes and this causes an electrolyte imbalance. That is why it can cause a heart attack. Drinking water after your electrolytes get disrupted doesn't always properly rehydrate you because your cells don't actually absorb the water unless you drink water with the proper electrolyte balance to rehydrate and replenish your electrolytes. The water you get from drinking coffee often doesn't get absorbed into your cells to replenish the intracellular fluid but instead remains outside your cells in the form of extracellular fluid (because the electrolyte concentration is greater outside the cells, due to the caffeine causing excretion of the electrolytes, and therefore need to be diluted for the concentration or "osmotic pressure" to become equal to the fluid inside the cell). You can drink all the water in the world but you won't actually become rehydrated until the fluid inside the cells is replenished. It can be very difficult to replenish the intracellular fluid.

  2. Governments ARE gangs! They go around demanding "protection money" (taxes) and guard their "turfs" (borders), don't they?

  3. Mediums have been around for many millenia. The old testament contains a tale of an israelite king named Saul who consulted with a woman known as the witch of Endor who spoke with the spirit of the prophet, samuel. So spiritism and spirit mediums have been around for longer than the Victorian era.

  5. Inbreeding produces genetic clones. My understanding is that it's actually malnutrition whuch cause genetic disease. You see, genes do not dictate destiny. They only predispose probabilities. Proper diet can prevent the diseases supposedly encoded in oyr genes. The reason genetic diseases are more common in cultures which practice inbreeding is because malnutrition tends to also be a problem in those cultures. So it's questionable whether inbreeding or malnutrition causes the diseases. Since inbreeding produces clones I believe it's malnutrition which causes the disease. The fact is inbreeding occurs commonly in nature with no problems. The only time inbreeding could conceivably be a problem is when both pairs of the 23 chromosome sets we inherit from our parent are the same sets (duplicates). But I would not expect such offspring to be naturally terminated and miscarried. It simply isn't viable. So the only result from inbreeding should be genetic clones.

  6. We may be able to hear people's thoughts through otoacoustic emissions. Possibly ultrasonic otoacoustic emissions. If so then we may need to stop using memorized passwords. This would also make it impossible to lie!
