JOHN MAYER LYRICS

"Waiting On The World To Change"

Me and all my friends
We're all misunderstood
They say we stand for nothing and
There's no way we ever could

Now we see everything that's going wrong
With the world and those who lead it
We just feel like we don't have the means
To rise above and beat it

So we keep waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change

It's hard to beat the system
When we're standing at a distance
So we keep waiting
Waiting on the world to change

Now if we had the power
To bring our neighbors home from war
They would have never missed a Christmas
No more ribbons on their door
And when you trust your television
What you get is what you got
Cause when they own the information, oh
They can bend it all they want

That's why we're waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change

It's not that we don't care,
We just know that the fight ain't fair
So we keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change

And we're still waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting waiting on the world to change
One day our generation
Is gonna rule the population
So we keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change

We keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change

THREAD MILLER

Waits with bated breath for Lila's 1000th post...

Am getting the shots ready

I loved her version of "Green Tambourine!"

(you realize, bd, there are only a small handful of us who know who she is)

Now we have "Wing" (South Park fans are in the know about her)

WING!

Wing introduces herself and sings "Over the Rainbow"

Her album "Wing Sings More AC/DC" is available now!

Wing sings AC/DC at Real Groovy

Meanwhile, couldn't find "Green Tambourine," but here's Wing's predecessor, the indefatigable Mrs. Elva Miller doing a Doris Day cover in The Cool Ones:

Mrs. Miller, "It's Magic"

Thread not dead. Open right eye. See thread. Pretty thread.

Lovely Rita

Meter Maid

Nah, I'm well past the 2,000th post.

Rita may, indeed!

Have I told, does anyone care to hear, the story about Cindy Crawford trying to get a role in "Shawshank Redemption?" It was shared with me personally by Frank Darabont, thus greatly increasing the chance that it's true.

Whoa.

OMG.... you guys are killing me

I want to make the world turn around

Archeologists discover strange elongated skulls in different parts of the world

Russian media outlets have recently covered a story about yet another mystery of the ancient period of human civilization, when archaeologists discovered plates with drawings in South America. The plates or the so-called Iki stones are about 70 million years old. The drawings show people with disproportionately large heads. There are skulls of the same shape in the local museums. But archeologists find the elongated skulls in Russia too, in the North Caucasus. The Pyatigorsk museum of regional studies has them on display. Do those skulls have anything in common? And who started “the fashion?”

A hole in the crown of the head

“The Pyatigorsk skull was found at the excavation site of the Khasaot burial ground in the vicinity of Kislovodsk,” says Doctor of Historical Sciences Vladimir Kuznetsov, the author of numerous studies of history of the North Caucasus. “The skull is part of culture of the ancient Alani. Approximately, it dates back to the 3rd – 5th centuries A.D. These strange skulls appeared at the same time when the Sarmatian and Alani hordes came around. Some of the nomads moved for the North Caucasus in 15th century."

“Researchers have repeatedly proved that the skulls had been deformed on purpose,” says Mr. Kuznetsov. “Ropes or special blocks were tied tightly round the heads of infants, over the temples. The custom went out of fashion by 17th century. The reason behind the deformation phenomenon is still unknown. It is hard to say whether the methods worked effectively or not since nobody ever conducted scientific experiments regarding the binding of the infants' heads.
But “aliens” are not likely to be involved in this case,” says the researcher.

Still, it is very strange that the deformed skulls are found in European countries including Norway and France. They are also found in Central Asia, in Central and South America. Taking into account huge distances and oceans separating different nations, how could people pass around the weird fashion?

“The skull exhibited here used to belong to a young woman in her twenties,” says senior researcher of the Pyatigorsk museum of regional studies Mikhail Semendyaev. “Its volume is quite regular, about 1.5 liters. By the way, archeologists normally find 2-3 deformed skulls like this one in every hundred of skulls discovered during the excavation,” adds Mr. Semendyaev.

Specialists have no explanation for a particular feature of the elongated skulls. If you take a closer look at the skull, you will see a tiny hole on the crown. The edges of the hole are extremely neat and even. Only elongated skulls have tidy holes. Could it be that the holes were used for picking information from space or from the egg-headed colleagues scattered around the world?

They wanted to look like aliens

“I did research on one of those skulls found near the town of Chihuahua in Mexico in the 1930s,” says the well-known archeologist Lloyd Pye, the author of the book "Everything You Know is Wrong." When the appearance of the “owner” was restored using Professor Gerasimov’s method, it became obvious that the guy resembled aliens the way they are portrayed by eyewitnesses. I ran a DNA test of his bones in two laboratories. His DNA links in some sections differed from the human ones. The skull should have contained around 2 liter of brain. The skull of present-day man can hold only 1.5 liters of brain,” says Mr. Pye.

“Some specimens indicate that the “fashion” for elongated skulls is al least 20 thousand years old. It could have originated earlier on. I can not tell you exactly when. I can only assume that ancient people wanted to imitate somebody else. Maybe they wanted to look like those beings who were more perfect in terms of evolution. They could also imitate the aliens whose skulls probably had different dimensions,” says Mr. Pye.
