    TONEALONE replied to Favorite Beer?:
    Yes, I once had a friend with a long-time affinity for drinking. He too imbibed beer and wine with equal delight. He went dotty too. In fact he also ended up unable to recall more than half-a-dozen or so of his favourite beverages . . . sad really.

I have spoken to Ahmed, he says he will be glad for you to spend as many months, even years, with him and his permanent wives in his tent in the the desert, as you like. You will be exposed to Arab ways and customs, you will enjoy raw dates, mashed dates, date wine, date stew, curried camel buttocks with dates, sun-dried scorpion tails in goat milk yoghourt with a side order of dates. You will drink a very special water that Ahmed's youngest daughter, Aliya, draws each morning from an aquifer that geologists say has not been replenished for at least 20,000 years. In the water can be found floating many small long-extinct life forms which tends to support the theory. Ahmed warns that if you attempt escape into the desert your bleached bones will likely never be found - but that's just a friendly warning, he says. What a wonderful experience it will be for you. You will come back, if you ever do come back, a trained, sorry, changed woman, but you will not succeed in entirely washing the sand from yo...    less

Probably, in accordance with long-standing practice assuming it will eventually just go away on its own.I think that, when the time comes, the long-promised few dozen portable nuclear devices detonated at culturally and militarily sensitive sites in the west will convince people the time has come to act - when it is much too late of course and huge swathes of the country, of maybe many countries, will have been rendered uninhabitable for many thousands of years. Yet again, humanity will have shown it is incapable of restraining its deadly propensities for self-destruction and for looking the other way.     less

Or alternatively, always seeking out stuff you never knew before?Some of this is new to me, almost like back to school, and I thought this curious, little-known corner of Earth-life could just conceivably generate a spark of interest in someone out there in Muggerland, someone else who didn't know it before, either. 
    Different kinds of lichens have adapted to survive in some of the most extreme environments on Earth: arctic tundra, hot dry deserts, rocky coasts, and toxic slag heaps.
    It is estimated that 6% of Earth's land surface is covered by lichen. 
    There are about 20,000 known species of lichens.
    Some lichens have lost the ability to reproduce sexually and yet continue to speciate. 
    Lichens can be seen as being relatively self-contained miniature ecosystems, where the fungi, algae, or cyanobacteria have the potential to engage with other micro-organisms in a functioning system that may evolve as an even more complex composite organism.

It has a tooth structure in which the teeth are fused directly to the jawbone. The female lays from 5 to 18 eggs once every 4 years and the eggs incubate for 12 to 15 months. Preferred body temperature is between 60 and 70 degrees. It has a spiny crest running from head to tail and looks much like a lizard, but isn’t. It may live for 100 years. If it loses its tail it will grow another. What is it?
