Blue Whale – Something big this way comes

Something really fascinating about largest creature that ever and still lives on.

Source: wikipedia

The Blue Whale is believed to be the largest animal ever to have lived. Yes, even larger than any of the known dinosaurs.
At up to 33 meters (110 ft) in length and 181 metric tonnes (200 short tons) or more in weight, it is believed to be the largest animal ever to have existed.
The largest Blue Whale accurately weighed by NMML scientists to date was a female that weighed 177 tonnes (196 short tons).
A Blue Whale’s tongue weighs around 2.7 tonnes (3 short tons) and when fully expanded its mouth is large enough to hold up to 90 tonnes (100 short tons) of food and water.
Despite the size of its mouth, the dimensions of its throat are such that a Blue Whale cannot swallow an object wider than a beach ball.
Its heart weighs 600 kg (1,320 lb) and is the largest known in any animal.
A Blue Whale’s aorta is about 23 cm (9 in) in diameter. A small child could actually swim through it.
During the first 7 months of its life, a Blue Whale calf drinks approximately 400 litres (100 US gallons) of milk every day. Blue Whale calves gain weight quickly, as much as 90 kg (200 lb) every 24 hours. Even at birth, they weigh up to 2,700 kilograms (6,000 lb) – the same as a fully-grown hippopotamus.

Cure from Delusion – 11 Steps to rational thinking

moody — Sun, 18 Feb 2007 03:17:27 +0000

I am going to post 11 short (5-10 min each) videos and call them “Cure from Delusion – 11 Steps to rational thinking”
Why I am calling it like that? When you watch them you will know. I am agnostic and I was never a believer in Biblical God or God of any other faith, and I go by the code: Militant Agnostic – I don’t know and neither do you.
Purpose of these videos is to help you reach a “normal” state of mind and cure you from delusions and illusions, and help you use your brain for what it is maid for: “Critical Thinking” and “Common Sense”.
If you believe in biblical God you probably have lot of questions and I know lot of you are having doubts about the whole thing but you are afraid to admit it, and if you live in United States or Middle East, I don’t blame you. These videos are guaranteed to answer lot of them and after watching these videos you still have doubts then I am afraid you only have two choices:
1. Watch additional videos that are provided in this post
2. Or seek professional help. They might have pills to help cure you from delusion.

Here you go:

All videos can be found at the following site.
whywontgodhealamputees.com

If you still delusional after watching all 11 videos please watch following videos:

George Carlin on religion

George Carlin on 10 Commandments

Richard Dawkings Q&A’s from The God Delusion book discussion

Richard Dawkins: The God Delusion BBC Interview

Sam Harris on belief at Idea City 05

Pen and Teller about Bible

Michael Shermer – Why People Believe Weird Things

Johnatan Miller – Interview with Philosopher Colin Mcginn (Really awsome)

Johnathan Miller – Interview with Steven Weinberg

And of course to top all of this pick up the Richard Dawkins excellent book “The God Delusion”. Every question you have about God or faith pretty much can be found in the book and answered with logic and common sense only Dawkins knows how to deliver.
There are many many more but these should do and remember: I don’t know and neither do you.
Give your neurons run for their money and start the process of the critical thinking or at least common sense. If you don’t like any of the videos above BITE ME!!!
