•Controlled imagination:
     ◦ You write or say things that you wouldn’t normally want to write or say,
     ◦ You sing along with a “song in your head.” But, sometimes the tone goes down. So you have to sing lower and lower.
     ◦ You want to be funny, but they see it different.
     ◦ Your erotic fantasy is systematically replaced with things that are not erotic, and that you don’t want. For example, if you think of your lover then he/she is replaced with a photograph of the house of your parents that you didn’t see in 20 years, so it becomes impossible to think of your lover.

Wow, I tried to find the most worthless part of that gang stalking article but had to give up. When I reached the past about dinosaurs and humans living together I cracked up though!

Denver, the Last Dinosaur is a U.S.-French cartoon for children originally released in 1988 by World Events Productions (the same company responsible for the English dubs of Voltron and for Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs). It was nationally syndicated throughout the United States in 1988 with reruns airing until 1990. Episodes often focused on issues of conservation, ecology, and friendship.

The show ran for two seasons, as the dinosaur boom that had followed The Land Before Time waned, causing viewership to drop. The series received a recommendation from the National Educational Association.

snyping page 386 with something so obvious it might well be implied to the uninitiated. i hereby revoke your status as acolyte of the order of 219, and order you to disrobe and return all corporate property, magnetic namebadge, and sidearm with clip full of blanks to staff logistics. you have shamed many with your uncanny ability of offering narrative to that which should well be left on mute.

Richard Kyanka

An unseemly brawl over whether the article should name him "Richard Kyanka" or "Richard Charles Kyanka". At least the anon editors insisting on the insertion of the middle name provided good verifiable sources.

Transponder (aviation)
7500. Four simple numbers that got an add/remove/add/remove/consensus-add/remove-anyway/ADD edit war ongoing, in slow-motion and, perhaps, still ongoing on this page. What caused all the "squawk"ing? The fact that 7500 is the emergency code you put in a transponder when your aircraft has been hijacked. Although the code is public information provided by the Federal Aviation Administration and available in any student pilot's manual to be grabbed off the shelf, IP editors keep removing it from the article. Because, apparently, would-be hijackers use Wikipedia as their only source of information on aircraft, and would recognise the code when the pilot entered it, whereas it could be entered without recognition otherwise, or so the IPs claim. One even left an edit summary saying "Deleted reference to hijack code for secutity [sic] reasons. (Yes- I know it's available other places...)". Consensus keeps the code on the page, joined (after yet another well-meaning IP removed the code) by an admin admonishment in an editnotice.

it appears that they never resolved it, it goes to a disambiguation page, and georgia (country) is the only country in the world to have (country) appended on wikipedia

on the other side of the argument, in all discourse in the english language, which is brought up more, Georgia as a country, or as a state?

jordan goes straight to the country rather than a disambig page even tho i bet the first name gets more use than the country. i mean they should at least be consistent?

The implication within Herbert's last two Dune novels of the 'prescient hold' that the residual ganglia within the Sandworms (and presumably Sand Plankton and Sandtrout) within the ecosphere on Dune, raises an important concept - the pre-Leto Sandworms also possessed ganglia, and therefore also must therefore have exercised a 'prescient hold' on the Universe in general. Being essentially animals, and non-sentient, this hold would then have expressed itself in the form of randomness, violent events, and even reproductively driven cycles within the lives of the Sandworms. Herbert did not expand on this concept in any of his works (the Dune Sextet, or Eye), and it remains an item of speculation on the part of both students of literary science fiction, as well as fans of the work.

quote:

In Sandworms of Dune, Brian Herbert and Anderson's 2007 conclusion to the original series, the Spacing Guild is manipulated into replacing its Navigators with Ixian navigation devices and cutting off the Navigators' supply of melange. Sure to die should they be without the spice, a group of Navigators commission Waff, an imperfectly awakened Tleilaxu ghola, to create "advanced" sandworms able to produce the melange they so desperately require. He accomplishes this by altering the DNA of the sandtrout stage and creating an aquatic form of the worms, which are then released into the oceans of Buzzell. Adapting to their new environment, these seaworms quickly flourish, eventually producing a highly concentrated form of spice, dubbed "ultraspice."
