It is not necessary that you read all of these longer posts. I have created sections with headings so if you have particular preferences you can go straight there, the order varies from post to post but by watching out for the headlines you are able to focus on what appeals most to you and if some of you take an interest in your own brains that is a bonus for all of us.
UFOs - do you believe? plenty on Orble do. So here is the latest for you. It's really real and ever so cool.

Bicycling over icy mountains in Alaska
Alaska, 1993
Photograph by George F. Mobley
Two mountain bikers cross the Kennicott River via a hand-drawn tram in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park.
The primitive cable car replaced a bridge washed out by the raging Kennicott, and at the time of this photo, it was the only way (save flying) into the historical mining village of McCarthy.

An old boathouse perches well above Currituck Sound at low tide in North Carolina's Outer Banks.
The Outer Banks, a thread of barrier islands on North Carolina's east coast, are extremely susceptible to erosion from heavy storms, strong tides, and rising ocean levels.

THE BLOOD SUPPLY TO THE BRAIN
One of the principal effects of aerobic exercise and its benefits for the brain is due to the increased blood supply.
Food and oxygen are carried to the brain by blood vessels
found on the surface of the brain and deep in the brain. The blood vessels enter the brain through holes in the skull.

Blood suply to the brain through the neck
Although the brain is only about 2% of the total body weight in humans, it receives 15-20% of the body's blood supply. Because brain cells will die if the supply of blood ,carrying oxygen is stopped, the brain has top priority, Even if other organs need blood, the body attempts to supply the brain with a constant flow of blood depriving other organs in favour of the brain.

A stroke occurs when the blood supply to the brain is stopped. Within a short time neurons will die due to insufficient oxygen. Paralysis loss of speech can follow.
There are two major causes of a stroke:
• Blockage of a blood vessel
• Bleeding of a blood vessel
Blood supply to the base of the brain
Schematic diagram of blood supply to the base of the brain
The Brain controls body temperature, blood pressure, heart rate and breathing. It processes input from the five senses: sight, smell, touch, taste, and sound. And it controls physical motion, thinking, dreaming, and human emotion. But while the brain can sense pain in other parts of the body, it cannot sense pain in itself. Nor can it store oxygen or blood sugar. So the brain needs a constant supply of blood in order to keep functioning.
WARNING
A human being can survive 4 minutes without oxygen before brain damage becomes so severe that he or she is unlikely to survive.

WOMEN AND ORGASM
Twenty-five years after she made the G-spot famous, Professor Beverly Whipple is still probing the mysteries of the female orgasm. She has shifted her focus higher up the body - to the brain - exploring the areas that light up when women climax. But the motivation for her research remains the same: "Orgasm is a remarkable phenomenon. It's one of life's most intriguing experiences."

I sooo believe in UFO's. I even dream about them more then any other dream. My dreams are always nightmares. A beautiful day. I'm outside with others. There are always other families outside. Then the sky starts to turn greenish. Ships comming from nowhere that start bombing the ground. Families running and screaming.
I think when UFO's make contact, it will be peacful and nothing like my nightmares. I also hugely believe Aliens are already here living among us as our neighbors, in the white house and such.
I've met a few people that i 'swear' are aliens. <smiles>

Sleep easy, there are NO UFOs nor Aliens.
Lilla can help you with that dream.
I'm just dreaming of a White Christmas.
Try soothing music, it'll help.
Nightmares can be horrible, they are rarely true.
katyzzz...remember what primitive people thought of the airoplane.

Small Thoughts on Big Questions
Still, I can safely say, without seeing the videos, that I do not believe in UFO's (or more precisely, I do not believe that aliens are visiting us in spaceships from outer space). I'm not familiar with the lost world of Muin (and I can't see the video, so I'm STILL unfamiliar with it).
The brain and female orgasms -- two topics of which I'm fond. Kudos.

You really will like both of those videos.
Great to hear you like the brain and the ,lashes lowered, other unmentionable.
Sex receives far more attention than it deserves everywhere, it's really just a primitive and life sustaining urge, not the hedonistic high everyone thinks it should be.
Like, marry for money or some other advantage and wonder why it doesn't happen for you.
What you do is generally what you get, but of course, looking at the abuse of women, not always what you deserve.
Nothing like getting sidetracked.
btw, if you want to up your stats, do use my link referral widget, located on the recent posts.
Nice to see you, I'm already behind schedule for to-day.
