I like herbal teas that dont have caffine. Anything with caffine makes my heart feel like its beating out of my chest and it makes me feel nervous and anxious. I can go on for ages on how amazing bubbletea is but Im sure mostly people know how awsome it is to be able to eat and drink something at the same time! Mwahahaha!


Hmm, do you have hyperactivity maybe? My mumma had symptoms like that, and she had it. It seems to have pretty much gone now though :D

And Lawrence, did you just work that out yourself, or did you find it out? :shock:

I've read a couple of articles about the "sound" of space, it's a bit misleading, as they're talking about radio-waves rather than sound. I don't know if they process those radio-waves to get the sound, or if they just convert it to sound in the way that a normal radio would.

Right - perhaps "sound" wasn't a good word to use; What The Oid mentioned is probably a better way to describe it. However, I didn't just make that information up; I believe the story came from Science magazine, but it was a while ago and I don't remember all the details. In any case, that's the best I can do.


And yes, BrunoN.... Meshuggah is getting there, they'll nail it in no time 8)

I went looking and found the article http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/blackhole_note_030909.html. See also this one: http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/mystery_monday_030922.html. It is a real sound they're talking about, but it exists only in the gasses around a black hole. The sound itself never reaches earth, but they used some X-ray telescope to see the vibrations and recognise it as a sound. Oh, and it's a B-flat, and "only" about 50 octaves below what you can hear :)

Yeah, they should just get a black hole on stage :D

Wow, you were'nt kidding when you said you're sober now. 8) Not even cigarettes?
Or maybe you've never been a smoker?

Ahhhhh alright. I was trying to find the article too yesterday, and couldn't turn it up - thanks for hunting it down! :D Very interesting, and much appreciated!

Wow cool stuff.

I found another random thing about caffeine...

Apparently, 3 strong cups of black coffee can make you "more likely to sense the dead (As in, spirits I presume.) and "hear voices"

It would take about 12 cups of weak tea.

How interesting. I wonder how you do a study for that though. :P

Waking up with a strong cuppa Java, :shock:

Shop in Oz called Happy Healthy Herbs, (previously Happy Herbal Highs), explored some interesting teas from them, for a lovely tasting, great feeling tea, can't go past Damiana, good for erotic dreaming too, another good one for fun in dreams is Mugwort, or calea (bit bitter though).

So is B flat our (present) note in the Grander Universal orchestration? And our spectrum of the Greater Light show, 'out there' (and 'in here' (your body)) light can be sound and sound can be light.

Now that sounds like some interesting tea :P And shop. I'm not surprised it got renamed :P

I got my news from the Metro, the free paper for poor people on the train 8)
And energy drinks are evil. Taste gross and what they do to your liver is worse.

Wow, thats a cool mental image... All I can imagine is someone writing out the 'tune' of the universe and all it's colours from one awesome organ. :D
