"To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live gratitude is to touch Heaven." -Johannes A. Gaertner

That is how I feel. Thank you.

I think the singularity will arrive on December 23, 2012, which happens to also be the end of the long count Mayan Calendar.

Kev, that is exactly what I think and pointed out here:

"Finally, amazingly precise, the mayans had forseen in their calendars the finishing of an era (fifth Baktun) in which man was dettached from nature by the aproximate same time (aligning calendars) the people who study the singularity are talking about the change. www.tortuga.com/multimedia/2.html "

This singularity idea is crazy. Frickin' thinkin machines, man? Are you nuts? I can't even get my laptop to not overcook my fruit of the looms when I'm trying to sit comfortably. The day we have thinkin' computers will be the day I have an elbow arse end, which apparently these body-mod folks think is a dandy idea! (http://www.humanupgrades.com) Weirdos.

"Either a you boys read this thing by Ray Kurzweil called 'The Age of Spiritual Machines'?" says Frank. "I just picked it up down at Barnes & Noble last week, and man, that guy is something else!"

"How do you mean?" says Frank. "Would you say he's written a book suitable for the lay reader?"

"Oh yeah! No doubt about it," says Frank. "Kurzweil kicks ass. You heard about this thing they call the 'singularity'?"

"Nuh-uh, what's that?"

"THAT is where all the computers get smarter than the humans -- or maybe more spiritual, I wasn't quite clear on that part. But they like totally take over and nobody knows what the %!@& they're thinking."

"Well, $%^@," says Joe Bob, "I don't even know what they're thinking NOW! 'Zat mean I'm already in my own personal singularity or something?"

"It could. It could. I haven't gotten that far yet."

Btw, I started my reading -against all odds, as I´ve run out of time lately (useful 'mental' time)-. So perfect in time the book arrived, you know. My moment to plunge in it.

Thank you so much for letting me drink from this elixir. I am being fairly literal. It´s healing to me. Thank you infinitely. :-****
