Instead it will be more along the lines of "Push the button."<br /><br />---<br /><br />This REALLY applies to Voldemort's plan to remove Harry from Hogwarts by Portkey. Realistically, Crouch Jr. could have just done it at any time, but Voldemort's ego demanded he add a certain grandeur to it, by having his enemy partake in a prestigious tournament. He was gonna feed Harry to Nagini, so there's literally no way that people wouldn't have noticed if Harry Potter disappeared, as some fan theories state he was trying to cover up Harry's death with the tournament to make it look like he died during it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09277928158355538853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948264804203169113.post-34760671434801554792022-01-06T16:59:44.292-05:002022-01-06T16:59:44.292-05:00Any Star Trek fan who saw the show knew exactly wh...<i>Any <b>Star Trek</b> fan who saw the show knew exactly what it really was, the story of the last Federation Starship thrown forward in time to a period where the Federation has collapsed.</i><br /><br />Not quite; the show was based on a 1973 TV movie pilot called <i>Genesis II</i> which featured that character first, but as an American scientist who was researching cryosleep tech for interplanetary and interstellar space travel in the (then) far future of 1979; Dylan Hunt (then played by Alex Cord)goes to a research facility located inside Carlsbad Caverns to start the research, and also to be the test subject who will undergo the cryosleep of <i>only a few weeks.</i> <br /><br />However, just as he's put under, a minor earthquake happens that wrecks the facility, and instead of sleeping a few weeks, he sleeps for <i>a few centuries</i>, waking up sometime in the (IIRC) 24th century, where a different post apocalyptic civilisation now exists (a nuclear war happened in 1983, and it's taken Earth a long time to recover from it.) The people who've awakened him are citizens of the Society of PAX, a nation state that want to recover human society, but in a peaceful manner as opposed to the other factions like Ruth and Kragg. Getting to the other parts of Earth is done through the Subshuttle, an underground Hyperloop-type train system that can go at very fast speeds like a global subway system to distant cities and installations (much like the slipstream that conveys the crew of the <i>Andromeda Ascendant</i> by the characters on <i>Andromeda</i>); each episode would've seen Hunt, Prater Kimbridge, Prater Yulof, Harper-Smythe and Isiah (a White Comanche-one of a group of Caucasians that ended up living like native Americans did in the distant past after the fall of civilisation happened in 1983) use the Subshuttle to go to other parts of post-holocaust Earth to help it recover (the sub-plot of this TV movie-<i>if</i> it had become a TV series-is slightly like what happens on <i>Andromeda</i> each week [rebuilding Earth/rebuilding the Systems Commonwealth].)<br /><br />As for what you said about Sorbo being angry, I agree.Lionel Braithwaitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05251435131708623589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948264804203169113.post-11298560059145082182021-12-21T06:45:36.042-05:002021-12-21T06:45:36.042-05:00Thank you so much for sharing such an intresting b...Thank you so much for sharing such an intresting blog with us.

First of all, when you are refuting an investigation you have to be able to prove it; to prove it you would have to be able to investigate these things on your own. Therefore you will have to, in order to proceed rationally, listen and read carefully all arguments and states until you can make your own research, and wait for that point in order to judge correctly. That is what I think how rational people proceed when have not the budget to make such investigation by oneselves. But putting aside into some sort of "faith" in one point of view while defaming and using falacies to contradict differents points of view put you in qualification of some sort of religious follower and it is obvious you cannot stand a normal discussion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948264804203169113.post-47077626674718619842018-04-27T15:04:20.858-05:002018-04-27T15:04:20.858-05:00Yep yep and yep.Yep yep and yep.Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08371516052078950303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948264804203169113.post-58934230705270279512018-03-14T22:31:30.403-05:002018-03-14T22:31:30.403-05:00It's clear to me that ANONYMOUS is a programme...It's clear to me that ANONYMOUS is a programmed robot of the system with an inability to think outside the box.

Thou shalt make thee no molten gods.<br /><br />3. The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep in the month when the ear is on the corn.<br /><br />4. All the first-born are mine.<br /><br /><br />5. Six days shalt thou work, but on the seventh thou shalt rest.<br /><br />6. Thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, even of the first fruits of the wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year's end.<br /><br />7. Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread.<br /><br />8. The fat of my feast shall not remain all night until the morning.<br /><br /><br />9. The first of the first fruits of thy ground thou shalt bring unto the house of the Lord thy God.<br /><br />10.

However, a true science man knows that science builds on facts that can be checked and that when facts are proved to be artifacts they cease to be facts. Michael Cremo could always present his conjectures along with his "facts" and, most importantly, the alternative and scientific interpretation of these "facts". It merely highlights his view with extremely reduced and simplified information filtering out the scientific details, which a true science man would find necessary. He is the man who is filtering and distorting facts to write books and produce TV shows, where no scientist is allowed to speak.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948264804203169113.post-88737204704854345722015-07-29T21:05:39.436-05:002015-07-29T21:05:39.436-05:00I ordered a book on July 21, 2015 through Abe'...I ordered a book on July 21, 2015 through Abe's Book which was being shipped from Motor City Books.
