Some time ago, my Dad jokingly told me that while the west had gone to the moon and back, the most pressing question in Khomeini's book was how much to stick your finger up your butt in order to clean every bid of feces to be "paak". That is why I cannot help but grin (poozkhand, more like it) and remember my Dad's wise words when I see videos of the sermons by the 7th centurions on the benefits of eating Mohammad "bol" (last week's featured video) or how Ali's forehead was noorani.
Contrast the above with what is happening in the west in "seeing" the center of our galaxy's super massive black hole, MIT’s camera with a trillion frames/second speed or how the computer speed doubles every 18 months. Nevermind the religious nuts, where is all this technology taking us? Professor Michio Kaku, in the following video, takes us to 20-100s years from now in a spectacular journey that some of us are fortunate enough to see while others will not. Prof. Kaku is a specialist in the String theory of unification who is also a host of a Science Channel series on his recent book “Physics of the Future: How Science Will Change Daily Life by 2100”. The video you will see takes about one hour and takes you on a fascinating jouney into the future. A couple of short sections have been blocked by Youtube due to copyrights, but that does not take away from the quality of the talk/slides. So, reserve an hour, take a glass of wine & cheese, beer with pistachios if you must, fast forward to 5:30 minute, and enjoy.

Thank you, amirparviz

by amirparvizforsecularmonarchy on Sun Jun 03, 2012 07:40 AM PDTbefore I saw this blog i was commenting elsewhere on what activity is really at the root of troubling Iran and a large part of humanity... at a time when health and science are making such advances and technology is changing the lives of a minority of humanity living in the west, without exception all of the west is united on building and supporting anti-secular extremists for our part of the world in order to dominate us and push our people into living in not just poverty, brutality and backwardess, but to live in corruption, tyranny and perpetual war. Our cock up will continue to be ours until we can not only see and accept what is being done to us, but we show in our thinking we are capable of being understanding regarding what we have faced, are facing and will continue to face in an unrelenting and undeclared war of colonialism.
Mahatma Ghandi identified the causes of India's suffering and temporarily made progress resolving it. The late shah fought to make progress on Iranians issues and those opposed to iranian peace, progress and human rights, at some point we will need to go back and serve the same national soul he was serving and overcome the same interests which oppose our freedom.
khomeini was ahead of his
by hamsade ghadimi on Sat Jun 02, 2012 09:58 PM PDTkhomeini was ahead of his time: his face was plastered on the moon and explored the black hole in his toziahalmasael when the guy in the video was in grade school.
Thanks Mehrdad
by MM on Sat Jun 02, 2012 06:45 PM PDTGlad you enjoyed it. Some people around here like to pick hair off the a$$ of a flea with forceps but cannot find water if they fell off a boat.
I guess putting a smiley face makes it ok to post whatever BS one likes to say :-)

You call this progress?
by Immortal Guard on Sat Jun 02, 2012 06:19 PM PDTThis is just material progress.
Where is the spiritual progress? Where is the progress in humanity?
They should think about reducing the world population:

and about helping the rest of humanity in Asia and Africa to obtain a decent standard of living!
Mamoor also claims a lot of experience with "Palang!"
by Faramarz on Sat Jun 02, 2012 06:14 PM PDTWhen he was serving in Beirut zoo, Maoor had a lot of experience with "Babr and Palang!"
That's why he calls them Mr. Palang!

Should be: one "phalanx" or two up your ...
by Shazde Asdola Mirza on Sat Jun 02, 2012 04:11 PM PDTPhalanx (Band Angosht) is the singular for phalanges, not phalange (Kata'eb party).
For all the Shiite reading this: please do not try to stick a phalange up your ... It is very dangerous!
Hope this can bring a smile on your face, dear MM, as it must have been very painful going through the Khomeini way of cleaning yourself ;-)
