Well, if you know better than all the scientists I already congratulate you to the forthcoming Nobel prize for medicine.

^ Ah, I said "most likely" as for not replying to you. Lucky me, I didn't say certainly. So I can reply. I NEVER claimed that I know anything about this matter. Do you want a fact? I would have questioned the certainty about the Earth being in the center of the Universe, and not rotating around its own axis, even if I had been living before the Common Era; and you wouldn't.

Discussing with you is like discussing with a robot... 

Someone bring the Deep Blue chess computer here, please. It has a real rival here!!!

So, perhaps I can find some peace of mind...

First of all: You are wrong about me not questioning anything. But there are things that are not worth questioning. There is no need to question that the earth is a globe, and there is no need to question that this thing in the photo can't be a real grasshopper, at least not if one knows a bit about entomology.

^ This is a progressive music site, science progresses; and you, beyond a shadow of a doubt, don't/can't. I didn't say or mean that "you don't question anything." Period. I meant, you don't question pre-established scientific "facts". Do I have to make you aware that the real scientists do that? At least the progressive ones? If you had been living in the past, you would have taken its scientific "facts" as granted. Ah, you also believe in God. Here's a quote for you. Your "belief" will be like this in the following centuries or millennia: "The altar cloth of one aeon is the doormat of the next." — Mark Twain

You don't have to make me aware of that. But they only do so when there is a need for it. For example: The result of the Michelson-Morley experiment called for new explanations for the addition of velocities, which led to Einstein's special theory of relativity.

And that the trachea breathing system is way inferior to lungs or gills is nothing that has to be checked anymore.

^ Nice! You won again!

Off-topically, I have a recommendation for you and Jeanine. As your self-righteous grandiose ego(s) probably hasn't/haven't noticed it yet. You have to be made "aware".

Read what Beethoven said about Handel and about your ultimate and objectively best Bach. Your partner shared what he said about Bach as a support to Bach's ultimate superiority. The rest is up to you. I'm bored with this stuff. The more I state that I don't want to discuss, the more argumentative you are.

So let me get this straight...you start a thread with an obvious conspiratorial fakery and now you state "I'm bored with this stuff." and "I don't want to discuss".
Friede is right-on in presenting her arguments.

^ Thank you, JD. But I REALLY don't like recurring things in my life. I'm sincere. I don't like this. I presented a new thought, and I assure that I'm not happy that the same stuff happened.

Evidently there is a lot to learn from giant grasshoppers.

Four pages about fake grasshoppers. Impressive.

Why not leave the giant grasshopper and focus on the title of this topic, which clearly says «facts»?

To stay in the world of tiny, some female dragonflies fake death to avoid male dragonflies looking to get laid. The female ones drop down to earth if they are not interested.

Please read the previous pages. The reason why I gave this title was explained there, by me. But it failed miserably. I thought we could have some fun... Anyway, such threads by me were already over. No new ones will come. And it feels good. Cool

I was watching a program from the 1960s on YouTube trying to find out why some frogs were homosexual
(it was a lament on government spending priorities)

A strategy some human females have reversed - fainting to get the attention of a man.

^ The best acting I saw was of a snake species. It acts unimaginably. First it throes (a long scene), when its predator was observing its fake suffering, it fakes death. Strained body, dull eyes, a lolled out tongue. Even lets out a corpse smell.

There's an extremely tragic event regarding some American anarchists, and a following "leftist" manipulation of it as if those anarchists made a "leftist manifesto". They literally added some leftist propaganda to the original text, and made it look like those anarchist martyrs were leftists.  I'm not sure if that's a fact though. I wasn't alive then. But I hear that the leftists still are deceiving people about it cunningly. I'll not share, or even Google it.

There was also a statement of Prince (singer) about the illegal MP3's. He was fully supporting it. But when I searched it on Google a couple of years ago, there was no info about that. Guess why? LOL
