Are We Dead Yet?
Been checking out some old posts back in my days of packet radio and realised I seem to have lost a lot of enthusiasm in the things that interest me. I need to be aware of it so I can counter it, I still have lots of stuff going on in my head, just less time now to mull over it and maybe produce something of fruition along the way. The Bible says to put aside childish things to become a man, and wise up to your responsibilities, yeah fine, but I haven’t had an Action Man since I was eight, even then I tried to make him bionic.
Confusious (on the other hand) said:
“If you look into your own heart, and you find nothing wrong there, what is there to worry about? What is there to fear?”
Class philosophy matey, so if I feel some of my ambitions may be just an echo of a childish venture, I really should ignore that thought and carry on anyway! I can live with that, tell me I have to awake every morning at 5.30am sharp and work till 7pm doing a job that just distracts me from what I really want to be, or else I will not be able to pay my bills, and I might get a little anti-establishment. I could get enthusiastic at that very level, now I see how people can hone their enthuse into something a little more sinister. The thing is it’s nearly 2013 and we should all be dead really, and we’re not. So should I now do something? Or shall I continue blaming PKU and the complications involved with concentration ..blah blah bla!!! Bollocks? No.

Lake Ellsworth is a sub glacial lake in the Antarctic and presently there are a group of British Scientists drilling 3.2KM through the ice to reach it. The mission is result of years of preparation to conclude whether life in bacterial form can exist in such extreme conditions and to explore the very boundaries at which life can exist. The lake itself is in liquid form mainly because of the enormous pressure above it, not only being below sea level it has a 1.8 mile ice block on top of it, these factors raise it pressure to 310 Bar or 4,496 psi, so the researchers have concluded (oddly the freezing point of water at that pressure is much the same at atmospheric so I’m guessing that was misreported), the heat from the earth’s core probably plays a significant role. Samples of the lake’s water will be brought to the surface and analysed
