When I scrolled over the link and saw the URL, my first thought was: how can a vacuum cleaner solve all Earth's problems?

And then I thought: yeah, but if it's one of those awesome vacuums that rolls around on a big ball instead of a bunch of little wheels, it just might WORK!

I almost fell out of my chair laughing at the beautiful irony of it all! Is that a serious website or some kind of elaborate hoax?

Humans - the perfect candidates for extinction. Don't ask me why I think that, I don't want to rail on about what we take away and never return. Whether the website maintainers are serious or not, the 'message' is something that is in the human consciousness. I won't advocate voluntary extinction, but I really doubt the planet would suffer one bit if our kind died out. In fact, it had better happen soon or there won't be anything left here!

Watch out Enterprise! You might get sucked (tractor beamed) in. This is an old sci-fi concept. Harvest all of a Sun's energy in an enclosed sphere... Noit in my lifetime, or the next twelve generations I suspect.

Don't worry the only thing that's keeping most of the world peace is FEAR which is a primal emotion that actually works . . .so far.

The concept of deterrence came about because people and by what I mean people is actually the governments and head of states (which are people) cannot be expected to be forced to see reason without some awful consequences.

This is a primitive way to maintain world peace which though has far since worked okay cannot be expected to continue to work in the long run. Because sometime somewhere a person may be feeling a little brave and may decide to gamble. This is especially true when the world is now seeing more countries with nuclear capabilities.

A revolution of mankind heart and soul is what necessary and is probably the most efficient way of ensuring world peace but this is not going to happen anytime soon and maybe not for a long time forward either. When people have nothing to look forward to after they die at least when they think that way and when they think that their deeds don't bring consequences unto themselves then they are capable of perpetrating almost anything under the illusion that their actions would not bring any consequences unto themselves. Yes there's law but admit it or not that just wouldn't work for the elite at least most of the time.

I just hope that the children of my children children' children don't come to realize that when the current deterrence failed in their time.

A personal spiritual revolution is what is needed. But sadly modern education pretty much neglects a spiritual side of man.

And it doesn't have to be about knowing God because God is hiding Himself from being known by most people and somehow put a value to faith, that is believing without knowing or believing because we don't always know his plans.

Funny thing is even government such as the Soviet Union is reported to have experimented with ghost by trying to utilize ghost to aid their cause but the general public are somehow made to renounce these beings though many older people may have had an encounter with such beings. The acknowledgement of spirits would bring about an acknowledgement of the existence of God since God is a spirit. But on other hand people with ill intent might try to abuse this knowledge too and many are already abusing the knowledge even since ancient time resulting in the practice of shamanism. Knowledge is indeed a double sided sword.

I'm just saying that there's more to life than what most people think there are already. I myself though haven't seen a ghost with my own eyes(I did see something but what I saw with my own eyes was not a ghost) have seen a number of these through mental picture or by sensing the ripple of energy that some of these beings emitted when moving or by strong feeling or intuition. It's rare thankfully but that happened 6 times and one even helped me to identify a friend who wanted to speak to me by flying across a classroom with plenty of people in broad daylight or one which I felt that came from God and which was without sin that made me unable to speak for some minutes or one which alerted me when trying to sleep by walking past the living room wall in the middle of the night(I assume he was bored).

People need to realize that there's life beyond this material world WITHOUT panicking or going overboard, WITHOUT falling to the trap of trying to utilize some of these BUT to acknowledge that God is a BIG possibility.

Did you really? Is it as awesome as it looks like it is?

They are so expensive though, I can't justify to myself putting that much into a vac given how little floor space I have.

The Dyson fans I've seen look neat too. A local place here has them on sale this week... the small one is $300.
