The Blind Guess Thread

Umm...ahhh...well, not sure what is happening here, but sounds as though it is time for you to depart the kitchen. Some good games being televised, so the living room might work.

I'm going to take a few blind guesses and say that these are the general topics of a row of books on your shelf. Or the general topic of several hours of scheduled daytime TV shows on a WTIC Hartford Conn. weekday.

Or that there can be some relationship between the leading topic of evolution to the next topic, all the way down the line, like a chain. And that logic has nothing and everything to do with linking them.

Or that someone had espresso this morning...

Controversial topics to avoid for one day, at least? Gnus? Gnus or wildebeest? That's controversial.

Gnus... Gnus...

Oh wait...

Walter Cronkite with The Evening Gnus. (I think that was the last time I watched gnus on TV).

Oh -- Richard Boone in the TV series, "Have Gnu, Will Travel". (Was that gnu, or gun...?)

No gnus is good gnus?

Sorry, long boring day, too much time on hand.

Definitely, gnus! The Evening Wildebeest with Walter Cronkite just doesn't sound right. No wildebeest is good wildebeest. Nope!

If you knew Sushi like I knew Sushi.

Is UFOs real alien crafts, at least some, or is it a blind guess? My ex's uncle once told me he was driving across Arizona or New Mexico (he knew which but I forgot). He said a UFO came down in front of his car and hovered above the road. Then it shot out a streak of green light and shot into the sky, to vanish within seconds. I offered him another Grapette, but he insisted it was real. I didn't learn if he had other amazing experiences because he died not long after.

I once saw a light move across the sky. It appeared to my right and very quickly shot off to the left - an arc of about 90 degrees. It disappeared as as quickly as it had appeared.

Something happens for real. I wish we could know more.

I have a story that I will send to you via PM.......

When I was in the Air Force and stationed at McGuire AFB in New Jersey in the 1980's as a Weather Forecaster, a report came in late one night of an object moving out of Pennsylvania over NJ, heading east toward the coast. I immediately went outside to watch the skies, and to my wonder, there was a large oval object framed against the dimly-lit cloud cover, moving silently across the sky eastward over the airfield. It had multicolored lights that flashed on and off in a circular fashion around the edge of the oval, giving the impression that it was rotating as it moved. Even if I had my camera, it couldn't take night photos anyway.

I went back inside after it passed far off to the east, and filled out a report complete with sketches.

The next afternoon I was called into the Commander's office and told quite stiffly and "officially" that I had seen nothing; I had apparently slipped into a nap while on the job after hearing a sensationalized report on the radio, and imagined everything. If I agreed with that statement, I would not be charged with falling asleep on the job and face a military reprimand. Of course, I simply shrugged a "Whatever", signed the statement, and went back to work.

Turns out the "UFO" was a runaway advertising blimp owned by a car dealership in Philadelphia PA. Photos of it in the papers over the next week pretty well matched the object I saw, light strip surrounding it included. It had spring a leak (helium, I think) and deflated, fell on a school building roof in Lakehurst (what a coincidence!) after dragging across the schoolyard and causing some damage (broken windows, I think). All references to the Hindenburg were stifled and the event was hushed.

Of course, the blimp crash could have been staged by some government agency easily enough. Gotta explain these things somehow -- so many people saw the thing as it flew over the state...

By the way, I was told that two officers had entered the weather station for a briefing at the time in question, witnessed me asleep at the desk, and walked out again. This despite that I had filed my hourly teletype weather report at that time, had no briefings scheduled that evening, and no flights took off until late the next morning.

Okay...

A story like that adds to the mystery.

Just watched a youtube on missed field goals in NFL games. It showed the ball being mishandled, insinuating it may be a purposeful mishandling much of the time. It called for an investigation. I have no blind guess to make.

One of my kittens is named Blind Blake, after the musician. No guesses, though.

We have a stray living here. Named him Frank. Not after anybody living or dead. Just liked calling him that. I had to guess whether he was male or female at first before I could name him.

"FDA moves to ban red food dye..."
When did they determine it was bad? Wasn't it about 60 years ago? What's your blind guess why they are doing it now?

There's a random chance.

Quite a lot to unwrap in your festive presentation.

When did Evolution develop this recalcitrance?

I don't fully understand your question.

When did the verifiable facts of evolution become a blind guess?

It is so stated by a member of a2k. We are not allowed to disagree.
