I think mine is that if you know what you are doing at the present time then you are not going to have a serious accident in the next 10 minuites, because if you notice that anyone who comes round in hospital says "One minute i was fine and then it goes blank and then i wake up in hospital!"
They never remember the time leading up to the event.

It's not my best theory, but it's something: I call it The Buffalo Syndrome. Think about it, in a herd of buffalo, while being preyed upon, the slowest and the stupidest die first- this refers to drinking. They say drinking kills your brain cells, but if you think about it, the slowest and stupidest brain cells will die first, therefore, drinking actually makes you smarter.
A bit of intelligence coagulated with sarcasm.

I'm not sure that I agree with your position that if you know what you're doing in the present time that you won't have a serious accident ten minutes later. A person can have their perception and awareness in top form this moment, and ten minutes from now be driving down a road and a big tree branch overhanging the road breaks off and falls directly on you and crushes you to death. Your position rests on a fallacy known as "Hypothesis contrary to Fact"- you're arguing for an unknowable circumstance. It's like saying,"Buy brand X dogfood-your dog will think it's steak." How could you possibly know that? Did your dog verbally say so? Did he ask for steak sauce to go with brand X? But moving along, my idea concerns war. Instead of having young people go into battle and get all shot up or killed, it should be the case that when the leader of one nation declares war on another nation, both leaders would at that time, under the auspices of International Law, decide on a place to meet alone, each given a fully loaded six-shooter, walk ten paces and turn around, guns blazing.The one left standing after the smoke cleared would be the victor and have total legal authority to impose whatever permanent political changes he or she felt necessary and proper in the deceased leader's nation to ensure that the need to declare war again would never happen. If not, then draconian measures would be taken immediately against the defeated leaders people- say no ice cream for a week.

My best theory is that there would be no wars if the whole world had sprinkles.
Think about it: we as a country are so rich, that we add festive little decorations without any nutritional value whatsoever to our food and we can afford to buy them. If all countries in the world had sprinkles, they too would have the extra resources available to purchase these decorative sprinkles.
That, and sprinkles just make everyone happy. No one can be sad when they're eating an ice cream sundae with rainbow sprinkles.

Acknowledging that we were hard-wired to search inwardly for our Creator. Your private thoughts in silence give dignity to your life and you cannot hide from yourself. You have a soul. If we only live for the moment we are living half a life. Whoever doesn't agree is being dishonest or nonsensical. The spiritual makes a lot of sense, it's not some nebulous concept that floats around. It's real. I'm real. My soul is real. Really real! We were meant to search, to question in an effort to transcend this life. We are passing through and must not get stuck in the here and now. There's too much at stake. Quiet and serenity is soothing. Have you ever read The Confessions of St. Augustine, who was an irreverent, promiscuous youth while his mother, Saint Monica, prayed for years for his eventual conversion? Saint Augustine was a very handsome man, and a brilliant thinker.
EVER ANCIENT, EVER NEW
Late have I loved you, O Beauty ever ancient, ever new, late have I loved you! You were within me, but I was outside, and it was there that I searched for you. In my unloveliness I plunged into the lovely things which you created. You were with me, but I was not with you. Created things kept me from you; yet if they had not been in you they would have not been at all. You called, you shouted, and you broke through my deafness. You flashed, you shone, and you dispelled my blindness. You breathed your fragrance on me; I drew in breath and now I pant for you. I have tasted you, now I hunger and thirst for more. You touched me, and I burned for your peace.
from The Confessions of Saint Augustine

My best thought or invention is this....
A bath with a slope up towards where you put your legs so that you are in a stretched v-shape. It would be much more comfortable. I always find that my legs are uncomfortable and unrelaxed

Does everyone see the same colour,when someone See's green grass doe's someone else see blue grass but blue to them is green, what I am trying to say does everyone perceive the same colours differently.
