The 13th Planet

The planet Pax may be the 13th planet. Where is the planet Pax? Well, it is not a parallel planet but a planet that follows the same orbit path as the planet Earth. Pax is always 180 degrees from earth and can never be seen behind the sun. No matter where the Earth is, Pax is always behind the sun. See video below:

Now Pax is a peaceful planet none of their countries are at war with each other they have the technology and the means to get their resources from mostly inhabitable planets, and the ones that have simple life they are careful enough not to take away their food supplies.

Nor do they trick their countries to be at war with one another usually if two countries are against another country the main country may send spies and trick the other two countries to be at war with each other. Here fight among yourselves leave our country alone.

Their science is so advance the body fats that was received after liposuction can be turn into milk not just breast milk itself. Any fat from either a male or female. However, one draw back after a baby had drank this liquid, it affected her pituitary gland and turn her into a 30 foot giant baby. Glad I'm not the one who has to change her diapers.

The liposuction on Pax is so advance it does not leave one with flabby skin. 

Now they're working on something called a transmuter machine that has codes for various fruits so they can take one's body fat and convert it to any fruit they want. One guy was not so lucky he was in a hurry to get things done that his whole body change into one big giant banana, Nothing to do now but to peel the giant banana dip it in chocolate and give it to the giant baby. Yeah, I am in one of my silly moods--lol  (end)

Voyage On The 1960's Naval Enterprise Ship

Voyage on the enterprise ?  No, not the spaceship on Star Trek but on a 1960's naval ship. The six videos below were filmed using a super 8mm film camera. The films of these cameras had magnetic recording tape at the edges so sound could be added.

I am posting these six silent videos here for posterity. Each video is about 7 minutes each. You may find them boring so I would put some music on. The music back then I was planning to put on was Christmas music namely organ and chimes.

As you can see the dyes on these films are worn off also and as I mention in my previous blog super 8 films have smaller sprocket holes for a somewhat larger picture and again I just used a digital camera just in front of my computer screen.The quality is really not that great.

***End of my filmed video series ***

My Home Movies From Regular Silent 8 MM Films.

In the 1960's we did not have DVDs,VHS video tapes not even cable only three network stations  but we did have silent film cameras for home use.

Each reel had 50 feet of film  giving us 4 minutes of time.We had regular 8 MM and Super 8 MM which had smaller sprocket holes so it can display a somewhat wider picture.Some even came with an animation button which only exposes one frame at a time.

Not only that but color film is three times thicker than black and white. Color film is actually three black and white films and each one covered with its own dye red,green and blue on top of one another.

Below is 6 film reels of my silent home movies(1965), except for Home Movie 0001 the first one, the rest of them are silent total time about 24 minutes.Image quality not so great;But I still can have those treasured fond memories.

Airplane Going 48,480 Miles Per Hour ?

Sometimes I wish I have bought a tee shirt saying "I am surrounded by stupid people"  watch the video below to see what I mean:

Of course we all know that going from Illinois to New York does not take one minute. The man on the phone should have waited while the airport was looking for his information.Instead of hanging up on "Just a minute.."

On 2 Broke Girls Caroline (Beth Behrs)  gave her female enemy a math problem. It went something like this: If a train starts at  9 AM and travels 800 miles and ends at 5 PM how fast was the train going? The answer of course is 100 miles per hour.

D=RT

D=distance in miles

R=miles per hour

T=time in hours

So lets plug the numbers in knowing that 9 AM to 5 PM equals 8 hours.

D=RT

800=R x 8

 We divide both sides of the equation by 8 will get 100 miles per hour which is the correct answer: 100=R

Now let's do the distance between Illinois to New York which is 808 miles and suppose time is just one minute or 1/60 of an hour.

D=RT

808=R x (1/60)

let's invert the fraction (1/60) into (60/1) and multiply that by both sides of the equation:

(60/1) x 808=R x (1/60) x (60/1)

(60/1) x 808= R x 1

(60/1) x 808=R

,

48,480 = R

And there we have it, if a plane can travel 808 miles in one minute then the plane must be going 48,480 miles per hour.It won't matter if you have a window seat or not everything will be a blur :)

Now while I was in navy boot camp we had taps (bedtime) at 

9:30 PM and we were awaken at 4:30 AM how many hours is that?Figured it in your head.

Well, let's first add 12 to the AM hour  changing 4:30 into 16:30 and subtract the PM hour from that or

16:30 - 9:30= 7 hours.

But how about adding 12 to the PM hour instead?  Well, you can but then you have to subtract that result from 24.

9:30 PM  change that into 21:30

21:30 - 4:30 =17

24-17=7

As you can see this method takes one more step.

Now something like  9:45 PM to 4:15 AM is harder to figure in your head better off using pencil and paper or counting with your fingers.
