My grandpa told me Aoki-san, a Japanese US Army Vietnam veteran, and UC Berkeley student, was one of the original founders of the Black Panther Party. He trained the Black Panthers on the use of firearms and martial arts. Aoki-san taught at a juco in Oakland and retired 10 years or so ago. He passed away from cancer a few years ago.

Aoki deserves a Medal of Honor for that.
The names of the first three men on earth (according to the Bible) were Adam, Abel and Cain (letters A,A,C). The last names of the men on Apollo 11, first spaceflight to land humans on the moon, are Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins (again letters A,A,C).

In some ways we are more bacterial than we are animal since there are more bacterial cells than human cells in/on a person. So be nice to your microbes :)
Doug Padilla told me the same story so it must be true.

Is that you, Steve-kid?
The New Zealand tuatara is a lizard-like creature that has been called a living fossil because its ancestors walked the earth with dinosaurs hundreds of millions of years ago. Although it looks like a lizard, it is not a reptile. It has a unique hemoglobin that allows it to be mobile in cold temperatures that would kill reptiles. Its heart is primitive and beats only once a minute in cold weather, much faster in hot weather. It has a vestigial third eye on top of its head. Its lifespan is about 200 years. It has no other living species in its evolutionary chain so it shares more in common with dinosaurs than it does with any living species today.
Only The Good Die Young by Billy Yoel is about sex not death.
The difference between the time periods of the stegosaurus and the triceratops is greater than the difference between the triceratops and now.

Arent you late for your church revival meeting? Better hurry over there becfore they suspend you from the deacons list.
No offense but if you did not have any ancestors who walked with the dinosaurs hundreds of millions of years ago then it follows that your most distant ancestor spontaneously arose within the last 100 million years or so. I didn't know that we still had believers in spontaneous generation among us. Please see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spontaneous_generationfor more information on what you have just claimed as your belief.
What? You don't believe in spontaneous generation? Oh, I am sorry to hear that you are too stupid to realize that your post implies that you do.
Please think before posting. That is, assuming that you have the capacity for thought processes.

Not anymore. James Cameron (director of the Titanic, Avator, The Abyss, and other films) recently did the dive and spent a longer time down there than Piccard and Walsh. In fact, Walsh served as an advisor for the dive.
