Torsten Posted July 19, 2008 Note sure if this has been posted in the mycology section before, but I found this fascinating - as usual. Stamets uses fungi to solve the fuel crisis, birdflu, pesticide resistance, and a few others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderIdeal Posted July 19, 2008 so many interesting things i'd never heard absolutely fascinating "these are a species we should join with" this comment is interesting "My conclusion is that the Flu has a symbiotic relationship with us that allows our body to expel waste(mucus, microrganisms, toxins) that accumilates over time in our skin and GI tract. All our muscles contract and squeeze out the sludge in great heaves. Children vomit often because their system works better untill we start given them medications which keeps the sludge within. Older unhealthy people loose the ability to vomit even when unmedicated -that should be the redlight to think through." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alice Posted July 21, 2008 How many times have we sat ourselves in front of a computer and thought: "I have the world at my fingertips, yet i cannot think of one single website to visit right now to alleviate this moment of boredom!" I've said it before and I'll say it again, TED is worthwhile viewing. If you have a few spare moments, check out their website. Some truly inspiration ideas from some of the worlds most brilliant minds. Have a look! P.S. No i don't work for TED! ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kadakuda Posted January 23, 2009 is there anyway to download the utube videos as a video file we could put on cd and play on the tv? is this possible? i really want to show my parents this, but the idea of working a computer (jsut turning it on) is a half day venture that ends up with nothing.

I use this website to convert my youtube videos to an easier to play format. http://www.mediaconverter.org/ Follow the wizard, save the *.flv and then convert it to an AVI with a program like this one Then burn to a DVD or VCD to show your folks.
