It blows my mind that-

- scientists have not seemed to cure anything in a very long time.

Check out how the survival rates for most forms of cancer have changed over the last several decades. The changes have been too gradual to make news headlines, but huge numbers of lives have been saved that couldn't have been saved before.

I can think of a few things that blow my mind but I'd rather not discuss them in polite company.

Polite company? No, I'll rephrase that...in mixed company. :)

It's not fat its baby. (well, some of it is baby...) Dork!

Ok, well... maybe it's a fat baby.

I just wanted to say that this is like... the most repulsively hot picture ever. You're a very sexy preggers.

(yes, I know, I've already booked the train to hell. :()

*sigh*

It's either an ass whooping or ticket to hell. At least you'll have plenty of company on the train. I'll sit next to ya and hold your hand if you'd like.

It blows my mind that it BLOWS YOUR MIND.

If someone says "I don't believe in god" it doesn't blow my mind.

So the "I don't think animals have souls" belief really doesn't rate very high on my "Oh, my god, that blows my mind" meter.

But that's me.

We all have our things.

It doesn't really blow my mind when people don't believe that people have souls becuse at least there's laws to protect humans from humans.
(Except in Uganda, etc etc. insert tyranny of your choice there) I guess it blows my mind when the notion that they don't have souls is used to commit atrocities that could only be attributed to a psychopath if they were committed on a fellow human being.

It blows my mind that some people think that animals don't have souls. It really does.

Those are the people I think of as being ignorant morons. Animals really are the best people.

It blows my mind that the universe is infinite. I can't wrap my mind around that at all.

It blows my mind that there are a billions of stars in the Milky Way Galaxy and that astronomers have estimated that there are 500 BILLION other galaxies out there. It's insanity how big the universe is.
Rep point.

The Pyramids...
The oceans infinite...
Saturns rings...
My teen...
Rep point.

It blows my mind that I can spend all day in the company of writers and not get any writing done.
Rep point.

It blows my mind that-
- scientists have not seemed to cure anything in a very long time.
- there is a 'third world' in 2007.
- Whoopi Goldberg ever became famous.
- man set foot on the moon and lived to tell about it.
- man has not set foot on the moon in 35 years.
- Lucas ruined ROTJ with Ewoks.
- someday, Scarlett Johansson will do a nude scene.
Rep point.

Hate blows my mind. There truly isn't enough life in all of us to hate as much as we humans do.
Rep point.

peoples stupidity... really -- blows my mind
No rep point. Cheap insults are easy, try typing something clever.

It blows my mind that the universe is infinite. I can't wrap my mind around that at all.
Rep point.

Thank you all for your insights.

I truly cannot wait for the day that humanity discovers that we are no alone in this universe. That also blows my mind. The uber-geek in me dreams of a world much like Star Trek. It actually brings a smile to my face when I think that one day, my great, great, great grandson will be uttering the words:

"Set course 119 mark 6. Warp 6. Engaged" :)

Like I said, it is the uber-geek in me. Plus, what truly blows my mind about that is maybe, just maybe, we will come together under the banner of humanity, to seriously set out to discover new life and new civilizations. To boldly go...

Yeah, yeah, I know Terri....DORK! But it gives me hope that maybe some day, we'll be learning from other's in this amazing universe.

It 'blows my mind' that people are still using that phrase.

However, it astonishes and amazes me that Horton Hears a Who is essentially correct. On this planet, circling a star, we live our lives and learn what we can about our physical universe. We have determined that it is enormously vast, much of it unknowable so far.

Yet the basic structure of an atom is pretty much the same, a central blob with much smaller blobettes circling it for reasons we can only presume to know. Maybe there's a much smaller Maryn on the third blobette from the center, wondering about the atoms on her world...

Maryn, liking the term 'blobette'

It blows my mind that at age 37, I've been able to come home after a heavy afternoon of St. Paddy's day drinking, regroup, reshower, reeat, readvil and will be heading out for a big night of St. Paddy's day night drinking.

My parents are proud.

Holla!

Happy St. Paddy's Day!!!!

Mine too. Especially Vicarious.

What else blows my mind...

-Why hairdryers have warnings about not inserting them into orifices
-How in the world the platypus survived evolution
-The Northern Lights
-When people in a restaurant are rude to waitresses. They're FEEDING you, man. And it's not like they get paid enough to put up with your crap.

It blows my mind that my mother-in-law, father-in-law, and sister-in-law all managed to be fired from -- and forever barred from -- the same casino, for different reasons, in different years. Actually, pretty much anything about them blows my mind, but that one...well...yeah.

(sorry, torqued at them today, so had to get a little jab in there...LOL)
