Hey, Farmerman. Have you ever called yur vet and just left your name and number, and then when he calls you back he says "Hi, this is your vet. Do you have a sick animal?"
That happened to us once. How'd he know WHY we called?
Too wierd!
some of these experiences are really spooky
have you ever been thinking of someone, maybe a relative or a close friend....then the phone rings....
....and its someone you never heard of?
we live in a world that is full of the unexplained.

methyl mercapton.
Quote:the ability to smell these substances in one's or, indeed, another's urine was also genetically determined.6
Apart from methyl mercaptan, other metabolites may be responsible for the smell of the urine after eating asparagus. Gas chromatography of the urine has shown that the odour could be caused by S-methyl-thioacrylate and S-methyl-3- (methylthio)thiopropionate,7 while a combination of methyl mercaptan, dimethyl sulphide, and small amounts of sulphur-oxidised compounds could also be responsible. The source of these metabolites is unknown, but the last paper postulates asparagusic acid, which is specific to asparagus and, when given to humans, causes the same characteristic smell in the urine.
only 40% of the population can smell it. Count yourself fortunate

Oh I see, your eyesight is not good. Well as long as you are tasty.
There are five - count 'em - conservatives currently logged into A2K. Now that is strange. And probably some kind of record.
Farmer, hi. I usually try to answer comments directed to me, one way or another. It's only the rude ones that I ignore--with the exception of Frank Apisa, of course.
By the way, synchronities and other strange co-incidences do strike us as remarkable, but if we push far enough we sometimes realize that "strangeness" is the essential meaning of life. To me it sometimes seems that everything is strange; strange not so much that particular things exist or occur but that ANYTHING exists or occurs. Existence is strange. I should add: marvelously strange.
What say you?
JL, me thinking about you thinking about existence is, to me strange. Im a complete materialist who is convinced that, eg, our atmophere is only there to

Wow, Farmer, did you read some deep metaphorical meaning into my statement, something "atmospheric"?
You know why there aren't any restaurants on the moon?
no atmosphere.
To quote Yogi Berra:
Nobody goes to that restaurant any more--it's too crowded . . .
To quote Ed Norton....
"Hello Ball"!
That was just about my favorite episode . . .
there must be a joke here about lavrenty Beria walking into a moscow restaurant...and atmosphere
but I cant just make it up
How odd!
I can't make one up either!
