Birds can see the magnetic fields

This is interesting -- research shows that some birds might be able to "see" the Earth's magnetic field, which helps them migrate.

How does this affect the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

What's weird is that they only have the ability to see magnetic fields with their right eye, not left.

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance discusses this concept using mathematics as an example and likens it to a ghost as opposed to magic.

How so? Music ( percussion, singing, et al.) is the result of the compression of air and the ensuing sound waves created from its vibrations; that involves mathematics and science ( not magic) in my book.

I know how music (sound) is created and received/processed etc. I was talking about the quote from before which was implying that music is magic because it exists but is intangible. I know what the quote is from and what it is referencing. I was stating that their sarcasm is actually paralleled by the writings in "Zen.....". Jesus Christ, c'mon.... Really? Was all of that necessary?

It was (in order to so easily get a rise out of you)! :o)


BTW, I never said you didn't know my original quote was referencing ICP; I simply was commenting on your opinion of music being more like a ghost. Plus, do you really think ICP was being sarcastic in this video? lol

Hard for me to say since I never got into ICP and know very little about them. As stated in a previous thread, though, they have to know what they're doing if we're wasting our time talking about them on here. As far as the opinion thing is concerned, it isn't my opinion - it is someone else's which I had referenced. The concept of what a "ghost" is in that book is something that exists but cannot be touched or held and resides in our minds (the book cites mathematics as an example). It, in no way, discusses bed sheets with eye holes and/or floating librarians ;)

Magic is nothing more than the exertion of your will upon reality to bring about a change. In that, music is magic. The means by which music is transmitted and perceived is wholly scientific, but the music itself is more like magic than science.

You can't hold music in your hands...unless, you know, there's a guitar there or a drum set or...aw fuck. Nevermind.

Birds must be magic, because you can't hold them in your hands either. Each time I try to grab one, it just flies away.

Then why did you say this? - "I was stating that their [ICP] sarcasm is actually paralleled by the writings in 'Zen...'"

Those two bozos thought they were making an introspective and heartfelt song and only further illustrated what buffoons they truly are; no sarcasm there...only idiocy.


As

If you are referring to them gaining success from dressing up like clowns, 'singing' crappy gangster/horror rap, and taking money from mindless white trash youth...then, yes, indeed! We, however, are making fun of them because we both recognize how stupid their shtick really is and that, even when they try to look smart and attempt to delve deep into philosophy, they still look like the clowns they portray in their videos.

I gather that...I just thought that you were in concurrence with the author's premise that mathematics is intangible to us and therefore more like a ghost rather than a concept we are able to grasp mentally.

As far as meph's comment about music being magical; just like love, it evokes great emotion in us and therefore, to most of us, is 'magical'.

I haven't read it, but I assume it is based on sarcasm, unlike ICP's video, 'Miracles'. ;o)

C'mon Harry. Poor inka is trying really hard to pretend to be a legit poster. Besides, you piss him off too much, and you'll get a shitload of anonymous attacks. It's best just not to interact with him.

I could say the same about you and the wiki article you keep writing on me, Mr. 173.66.247.152. Lemme guess, there's more than one person in the center of Mclean that shows me as much attention as you do.

I only did that because you wrote one about me, asshole. Plus, you wouldn't know anything about fooliohootz, meloncolihootz, etc, of course, would you? :o)

Everything I have done to you has been in recompense for what you have initiated against me. Keep telling yourself you are completely innocent; your obsessive personality disordered mind will eventually believe your own lies!

I have thoroughly enjoyed your exemplary exhibition of maturation and obsessiveness via the creation of the wiki article and fake linkedin accounts in my name ( in addition to stalking me on facebook/myspace and stealing pics from there to shop and post on here!).

Thanks! :o)
