Six senses when you feel something like for example being around someone you can determine if they’re of good or a bad if there are bad and get a weird, uneasy feeling.
Albert John Rogers – (rocket science) March 8, 2021
Rocket science is dead easy compared with the electromagnetodynamics of an ionised body like the sun or even a laser.
As for biology, compared with biochemistry, the fact of Natural Selection which certain religions REFUSE to understand, is dead-easy and compared with rocket science, biochemistry is extremely difficult.
Albert John Rogers – (do or die) March 8, 2021
I knew of the line in “Bruce’s Address” by Burns and wondered if it had been invented earlier.
I am quite fond of Tennyson, but not of his approval of the “Charge of the Light Brigade” I prefer the opinion quoted, or alleged by the account of the mastermind of “The Great Train Robbery” that although he had stolen gold intended for the Crimean War, he had not by his stupidity caused the slaughter of os many god Englishmen.

Roshi – (show true colors) March 1, 2021
I believe “show true colors” arises from the need of many animals in nature (eg. male hummingbird) to hide its bright colors away from attracting predators. When they are near the opposite gender of the same species (eg. female hummingbird) then they reveal their bright colors (feathers in this instance as a mating display) to show their true colors.
