Except for a few nomadic tribes of North Africa the universal sign for "yes" is nodding the head up and down and the universal sign for "no" is turning the head from side to side. Any ideas how this came to be? And why?

Is it possible that our ancient ancesters invaded and conquered this world centuries ago? But it has been so long that that event could have possibly been forgotten? Could it be that we are the aliens here, and that our ancesters commited Genocide centuries ago?

Was the wedding concept the same as it is today (the beginning of a monogamous relationship) or did it serve a different purpose, such as to let the rest of the tribe know who was in the chief's harem?

....the marketing of, and the profit machine of music (and maybe film too).
Wouldn't it be great not to be able to mentally recall irritating, feel good music? Or not to have an era defined by the sound at that time of the most popular band?
Do you think people would have to compensate somehow for the loss of noise we're used to? Or would we be much better off?

Everywhere we go, we are bombarded by things that remind us of racial divisions in society; from job applications to television networks, and most especially in politics, it's everywhere. But why? For what reason do people think that skin color actually has any effect on anything beyond our ability to tolerate heat?

Is this a girl or a boy? What do you think, and what makes you think that? And just for the hell of it... what age do you think, and do you think they're pretty/attractive/handsome or not? :)

i've been getting many dreams/deja vu moments and i'm getting very confused. At times i can almost predict within that moment what image or sound i'll exprience next..at times it's so vivid and so clear that i start to wonder whether i've actually dreamt of that moment.

Are dreams and deja vus linked?

And also is there a connection between deja vus and being able to predict the future?
have we as humans got an untapped 6 sense in this area because i'm getting very close.
I'm just waiting for a moment of pure clarity involving lottery numbers or something.

Knowing that two men couldn't possibly create a living being, and yet if they wanted a child they could adopt, do you think homosexuals were created to ensure that the world would not be overrun with people?

It seems like the violence in the middle east came at an especially hot time. Is it partially due to short tempers because of heat? Are there any historic trends that support this?
