Is it the Beginning of the End?

So...for those of you who know Srav, she is back on the Rock. It is also a New Year! Sounds to me like the perfect time to restart providing random tibits of information for people.

Watch This.

The above is a video link to something that I cannot believe aired in the Arab nations. "Here is a powerful and amazing statement on Al Jazeera television. The woman is Wafa Sultan, an Arab-American psychologist from Los Angeles . I would suggest watching it ASAP because I don't know how long the link will be active. This film clip should be shown around the world repeatedly!"

It's definitely an AWESOME statement and I hope she continues to speak out.


Here is another link. THIS is the salmon dance. It is totally not serious, but it is very cool ;)


In other news...last night I thought of something and was like "oh man, I should write about this tomorrow." I think it may be semi-interesting to the philosphers/anthropology peoples.

A lie-detector test is not faultless. But we still use it. But, it is not only faulty because it sometimes does not work because of electronical troubles.
Hypothetically speaking, let's say I administer a lie detector test to someone named Bertha G (who is a very nice old lady that helped me find tofu in the grocery store, although I don't think she had ever heard of it before). Now, I show Bertha G a color wheel. I KNOW that color 1 is red and color 2 is green. But Bertha G also KNOWS that color 1 is green and color 2 is red. We'll amount this to a generation/cultural gap. So when I give her the test, I know that she's lying when she says "Color 2 is red" because I know that color 2 is actually green. But the machine says she's telling the truth. Because she is. Because it's the truth for her.

Someone can tell me what theory I just explained above. (cough cough tony srav or michelle).


HAPPY BIRTHDAY SRAV!!!!!!!!
