sharedid d.b, cooper survive jumping out of that plane.
shareGood one. That's probably my #2. My #1 is Flight 19.
shareDid u see the Netflix special?
They made a pretty convincing case for Robert Rackstraw.
He's dead now so we'll never know for sure.
Same with Jack the Ripper... Lots of tantalizing evidence that suggests one person or another but it will always remain an unsolved.

I didn't see that (I don't have Netflix) but I'll watch out for it turning up elsewhere 👍 I've seen quite a few documentaries on the case. I like to think he made it.
Btw, your reply notification reveals your secret identity!
I doubt it.
Going hundreds of miles an hour over wooded hill country at night in very poor weather seems like a suicide jump.
I doubt even a highly skilled military commando could have stuck such a landing.
I’ve read about this event several
times, I’d bet his skeletonized ribcage is still impaled in a high tree out there somewhere.
That guy jumped to his death.
Is space infinite?
How was the coexistence between Sapiens and Neanderthals?
1. My understanding is that space is not infinite, but expanding at faster than the speed of light.
2. Based upon most of the evidence, probably competitive, brutal, a little lovey-dovey.
1. If it is so there is then a place that it is still "empty ", nothing is there. I would like to know how this "border" looks like.
2. Most probably yes

How many licks does it take to get to the center roll of a Tootsie Pop? I never make it past 1.

How language evolved from what must have been grunts and whistles to the sophisticated system of communication it is today. How did things get their names? I mean things that would have been around back then--sky, water, sun, rock, tree, etc.
shareAbsolutely, one of the great questions.
This scholar thinks it goes back to Erectus. He has an extremely interesting life-story :

Thanks for the link, I certainly will watch it. Some years ago I watched this https://www.thegreatcourses.com/courses/story-of-human-language when it was on super sale for under $100 (I have long since sold all my CDs and DVDs including it). It is a great series, he is a great lecturer, but really didn't, IIRC, have any interesting theories about the origins of language...just that when you go back that far we really don't know. I still recommend the series.
shareNoam Chomsky had put out the notion, not authoritatively but more discursively, that there was some key evolutionary development in the last 70K or so years which resulted in the neural foundations for inborn pre-adaptation for language acquisition (for a universal grammar) which humans possess. I believe he associated it with the appearance of art.
However that case may be, there is no reason to assume that such capabilities hadn't been undergoing a selection process over at least the last two million years, from the time of homo erectus, since macro-evolution is implied by micro-evolution, large transitions founded by pre-adaptation.
There is, in evolution, both gradualism and saltation. But saltation needs a platform to leap from :

shareWhen I was 4 or 5 years old (1979 or 1980) I was standing in the doorway of the shed and I saw what looked like a toy rocket fly by, slowly, like at a normal human walking speed. It was very close, maybe 10 feet away, and a little higher up than the doorway, so maybe 8 or 10 feet above the ground. It looked to be about a foot or a foot and a half long, and was flying horizontally. I don't remember it making any sound. It was made out of something rigid, i.e., plastic or metal; it wasn't a balloon. There was a scale type pattern on the cylindrical body of it. Here's a sketch of it that I drew quite a few years ago:

I had heard my older brother talking about setting off bottle rockets with his friends, and having never seen a bottle rocket, I assumed the thing I saw must have been one. I remember being in the back seat of our family car telling him I saw a bottle rocket fly by the shed, and he was trying to think of who might have launched one near our house (he and his friends usually launched them at the graveyard). But as I started describing what I saw it obviously didn't match up with a bottle rocket at all.
So I have no idea what it was. If it happened today I'd say it was a toy drone, but there was nothing like that in 1979 or 1980 that I know of.
Ribbed, for her pleasure...
