King Tut's (1333BC -1324BC) body was covered with an elaborate death mask. The only facts I can find online about this mask is that it was mostly gold, but no details are give. Things like what each of the rows of what look like gems on his neck are made of.

I'm taking an ethics course this quarter at my college. It's a very different experience from what I normally take (science related, I'm a Microbiology major), but I need to fulfill my humanities requirement. Anyway, one interesting article we had to read was Margaret Battin's Sex & Consequences: World Population Growth vs Reproductive Rights, where she proposes that every single female in the world should be implanted with a contraceptive device (such as the IUD or Norplant) alongside routine things like exams, and only when she wants to get pregnant can she have it removed. The idea is the world's population is growing too large to support us, so this is idea is in line with utilitarianism because the individuals right is being sacrificed for the greater good of the world (survival). My professor was an adament supporter of this idea and shot down every rebuttal I had to it. Frankly, I find the idea that a woman not having control over what goes in her own body to be appalling, BUT

Or, what may be called an NDE. Near death experience.
I think that is the most fascinating thing, especially when it changes some peoples lives totally. And when little kids, say what
they saw and heard. Do you know anyone ???????............

I don't mean to offend, but I want to know what people think.
I am studying the civil rights movement, and I want to know why there are a number of young black people that intentionally set themselves apart from the mainstream by wearing "grillz", sagging their pants, etc. I understand that people come from different cultures, but to give one's self an obvious disadvantage BY CHOICE seems to be disrespectful of the people that fought and died during the civil rights movement. These people faced unimaginable hardship, injury, loss of life, etc, all in the name of equality. Why do people set themselves up for failure, and then get angry and call others racist, when they are so obviously trying to be so different?

According to myself I think all of my viewpoints are the correct viewpoints, otherwise they would not be my viewpoints. Keeping this in mind, if my viewpoints cannot be logically disproven, does that make me the smartest person in the world, being that no one else will have completely the same viewpoints? Do you think you're the smartest person in the world, or do you think some of your viewpoints may be incorrect? If so, why do you hold those viewpoints? Does the word "viewpoints" seem strange to you having read it so many times?

I have been cast as the lead in Godspell, but I am just getting over a bad cold and my throat is sore. Plus I work at a bar and I am surrounded by cigarette smoke every day.
I am still hoarse. I am attending rehearsals and singing a LOT in order to learn my part. I am stuck. It's almost like I dont have enough time to allow my voice to heal. Any suggestions?

In my last question I asked of the plausibility of the "de-evolution" to exist. I was met by some differing thoughts concering this including much modern scientific thoughts.
Theoretically speaking if we use scientific thought to consider de-evolution does it not conflict with scientific evidence? The de-evoluton of man idea would suggest that as we gain more scientific, analytical process and increased dependence on technology we continue to errode a spiritual portion of ourselves. This spiritual portion would not need increases in physical only the smallest amounts of physical resources to maintain a phsical existance. Through time, we have desired more physical goods. This desire for tangiblility has slowly erroded our spiritual capacity. If a body is seperated into two parts (spiritual and physical) would it not make sense that when you give of one you take of another? If our spiritual capacity were to be say 90% what walls could hold that being? limitless possibilities emmerge?

I suppose by asking this question I am over analyzing the human race, but I just want to hear a few intelligent responses as to why we put so much thought into things that are really not vital to our emotional or intellectual growth.

If the differences in things are dissolved, equivalence results.
Can we get differences by dissolving the equivalences in things?

THERE MUST BE NO DIFFERENCE IF THERE IS NO EQUIVALENCE.

Oh my auntie’s little boy
He sucked his thumb all day
My aunt was very very sad
She took a holiday.

She tied a wooly spiky thread
Around the baby’s thumb
The baby ate the spiky thread
And called her very dumb.

She bribed him with a lollipop
And bought a teddy bear
The baby happy with his thumb
He did not even care.

Then she took him to a fair
She gave him bubble gum
The baby stuck it on her hair
And only sucked his thumb.

Mad my aunt with gum in hair
And a baby that called her dumb
Took the baby’s hand in mouth
And ate the baby’s thumb.
