In olden times, Oxen were attached to heavy loads with a trace. This stopped them from disappearing, said their drivers.
Fast forward a few years to Amelia Earhart, who flew her “Spirit of St. Lois” into the Spirit in the sky. Her last garbled radio message went, “my trace….the kitchen table next to…need it for…” CLICK- silence. Amelia had disappeared without a trace; a mystery that was never solved. Amelia was once quoted as saying, “Flying might not be all plain sailing, but the fun of it is worth the price“. A high price indeed Amelia!
In contrast, Charles Lindbergh never left home without a trace, and after not disappearing on a return flight to South America in his Spirit to Mexico, helped start the airline that became T.W.A.
Fast forward again to 2006, and we hear about the "Vanishing of the Bees" This phenomenon is known as "Colony Collapse Disorder". Honeybees have been mysteriously disappearing across the planet, literally vanishing from their hives. What is the cause? National Geographic reports that this mystery has been vexing some of the world's best scientists ever since U.S. beekeepers began noticing enormous numbers of their bees vanishing for no apparent reason. Ever since the colony collapse disorder (CCD) epidemic was first reported, beekeepers across the country have seen adult bees disappear, leaving home, honey and pollen behind. Can the Worlds' economy, and even Humanity itself, survive this disappearance?
Should we be concerned?
If you like to eat food, YES IT SHOULD! Bees—and the flowers they pollinate, are disappearing, according to a new study of bee diversity. The results raise concerns about food crops and plant communities that rely on animal pollinators to reproduce. "The decline in bee diversity also has broad implications for human health and quality of life", says a spokes-person for the University of California.
Could it be that the bees are simply getting careless, flying into oblivion like so many buzzing lemmings into the abyss of extinction, or are they simply forgetting the way home? I don’t think so! They, like untethered Oxen and forgetful aviators are disappearing without a trace.
According to the Associated Press, Hawaii's idyllic beaches will soon be gone forever. Tibetans are worried about their disappearing language. Alpine glaciers are disappearing. Tigers and their prey are disappearing. Even the Mummies in Savona in Sicily, are on the verge of disappearing. The only credible theory so far, is that the planet Earth, bee by bee, species by species, and habitat by habitat are being relocated to a more habitable planet. It is not known if it is our political leaders, or outside alien influences are causing the disappearing, but disappearing we are at a rate of knots. Is forgetful Amelia waiting for us somewhere out there, or are the Bee-people waiting for their revenge? Whichever it is, Monkey and I think we are about to find out

DINOSAURS: THE HARD FACTS.
Before the 19th century, when giant bones turned up, they were taken as evidence of dragons, or giant victims of Noah's Flood.
Today, everyone thinks that dinosaurs lived on earth from 200 million years ago, until they abruptly died out around 135 million years later. Mentor monkey and myself have spent years searching for any written records they might have left, such as newspapers or suicide noteus and ‘till now, we have not found even one.
This tells me that:-
a. they had computers and didn’t need written records, and
b. they didn’t leave suicide notes.
Computers make sense, as everyone has a computer, even if their day they only had primative ones made from trees and vines.
We don’t find any of these now because humans started maybe 200,000 years ago. Quickly, the humans evolved and invented stone axes, with which they destroyed dinosaur computers.
The second point makes things more obvious. No suicide notes mean no suicides.
These dinosaurs did not die out, but some fled from the aggressive humans, and lived in caves in remote areas of unpopulated land. Most were lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time. When the one land mass (Pangaea), spit in two during the Jurassic period, Humans were isolated on one land mass and bony and spiky Dinosaurs on the other. The humans landmass divided and re- divided to form the continents that we know and love today. The Dinosaurs landmass however has never divided, but is hidden somewhere beyond the horizon. Many airforce pilots have seen Dinosaurland with its bony and spiky residents, but have been sworn to silence by their governments. We know this, because they have never spoken about what they must have seen.
Ask yourself, “in what sense are we humans improvements over Dinosaurs?” From our meagre fossil records we know they were bigger, bonier, spikier, stronger, and more adapted to their environment than mankind. In contrast, we are smaller, softer, smoother and less adapted to our environment.
We need cars- Dinosaurs have four legs.
We need clothes-Dinosaurs have thick skin or fur; .
We need houses- Dinosaurs can make do living in caves.
We need supermarkets- Dinosaurs eat free food and small pebbles.
We need jobs- Dinosaurs have a well organised social welfare system that doesn’t even need paperwork, thereby saving their rain forests.
Added together, these points lead us to the only conclusion possible. If a species really was to become extinct it would be us. The few lesser Dinosaurs that missed the boat when Pangaea split in two, (small light-boned theropods scuttling for their lives underfoot), have evolved in a way that makes them almost invisible to our weak human binocular vision. These became microbes, mosquitoes and tiks. Some grew feathers and became birds. For example- Seagulls who live a natural dinosaur life eating free food, and even sparrows, the least of the Dinosaur kingdom live secretly in our gardens under our very noses. They are waiting patiently for humanity to die out so they can once again rule the Earth.
I will continue to work patiently for you all, to bring enlightenment to the few that can accept the truth…

ECOLOGY: ARE WE THE PROBLEM??
Edward O. Wilson, Harvard University ecologist and writer states,
"The 'backbone' of biodiversity is being eroded. "One small step up the Red List is one giant leap forward towards extinction.
What can this mean to our meat eating culture? .
Sadly, Our predatory ways are taking are taking a real toll on the vertebrates who share the planet with us.
According to one important investigation:-
Southeast Asia has experienced the most dramatic recent losses of vertebrates, largely driven by the planting of export crops like oil palm, commercial hardwood timber operations, agricultural conversion to rice paddies, and unsustainable hunting,
What exactly are Vertebrates?
The dictionary says, " an animal with backbone: an animal with a segmented spinal column and a well-developed brain, e.g. a mammal, bird, reptile, amphibian, or fish ."
Yes! In consuming so much food in a brave but futile attempt to grow and stengthen their bulky frames, animals are causing their own demise.
As a reult of this disturbing reseach, Mentor Monkey and My good self, at no expense to you, have enbarked on a program to help these dim witted animals by breeding cow and sheep fillets. These animals will not only eat less, but take up less pasture land. Brain is edible, so no attempt will be made at present to breed this out of these species. This would be less than humane.
So there we have it. Bones and Brains are becoming scarce.
Animals have brains, but they are small. Too small to help them realise that their big bones are the problem. (We can not eat big bones)
In this, fish and small birds have the advantage, but bigger boned animals, (often human bred), are causing their own loss.
Yes! In consuming so much food in a brave attempt to grow and stengthen their bulky frames they have caused their own demise.
As a reult of this disturbing reseach, Mentor Monkey and My good self, at no expense to you, have enbarked on a program to produce cow and sheep fillets. These animals will not only eat less, but take up less pasture land. Brain is edible, so no attempt will be made at present to breed this out of these species. This would be less than humane.
We are being helped in this valuable conservation work by programs such as the program to reintroduce the Kihansi spray toad, Nectophrynoides asperginis, back into the wild in Tanzania.
These rare and endangered double decker frogs have been hunted to near extinction by uncaring and lazy farmers. After being eaten, very few amphibians have yet shown signs of recovery.
Undoubtably, the temptation to catch half the frogs for twice the amount of meat is great, but international efforts are escalating to re educate these lazy farmers, and to wean them onto cow and lamb fillets.
"We have to scale-up our efforts to match the unprecedented threats faced by the natural world," said Jonathan Baillie, Director of Conservation Programmes at the Zoological Society of London", and we couldn't agree more.
History has shown us that conservation can achieve the impossible, as anyone who knows the story of the white rhinoceros in southern Africa knows. These large boned animals were eating excessive amounts of food in a futile attempt to grow and strengthen their bony parts. At our suggestion, the white rhinos were cross bread with boa constrictors, resulting in a longer and more colorful, but less self destructive animal.
In another somewhat disturbing late news report, IUCN officials said, "Conservation efforts have been particularly successful at combatting invasive alien species on islands"
Can this be true? Our greed and tolerance for boney animals has led to Alien Invasion.
Please help us in our fight to produce environmentally friendly deboned species before it is too late.
I remain your true and untiring servant:

I am going to the beach
Today I plan to go to the beach.
I like beaches, but not the sand and water so much,
Still looking for one with Astroturf and a giant sponge.
Last time I went, to photograph rocks n stuff, I accidently stepped in a rockpool and was eaten by a crab.
(no… that’s not true… my foot was threatened by a crab.)
At least at the beach you don’t get infected by human parasites.
!!WARNING!! Science information.
A parasite is a special place where government land is set aside for people who like to jump off the cliffs with a parachute. For the braver souls (I have only ever met one, but there are hundreds),
The parachute is held between the teeth, and the rip chord is pulled as they hit the ground.
It’s hard to believe people would do that, but I saw one actually doing it.
For those unacquainted with para talk, the rip chord is so called because it‘s R I P if you forget to pull it in time.
I read somewhere.
“It is estimated that about 50% of the U.S. population is infected with at least one type of parasite.”
They must be small because I have checked myself in the mirror, and can’t see any.Thank heavens I don’t live in America.
(If you meet me, remember no kissing.)
Just a free hint for the brave among you: don’t try to enonomise on the para by using a string shopping bag like I did the first time.
Air molecules are apparently smaller than the holes in string shopping bags and you may decend a little faster than you like.
You maybe don’t care about my beach adventure, but you will be thankful for the science content you have gleaned today
I am still your little friend with scientific and relationship advise on the net…

My past life...
Today my pretties,
My mentor, Monkey and I have decided that you may be mature enough to appreciate not only facts and figures, but also a smidgen of the cultural realm that i, myself have been known to inhabit.
No one is inviting you to move house and live in this rarefied realm, but i allow you on various occasions to visit with a friend, or maybe your family minus any children under 2 years of age, for just a few hours.
Take advantage of this exclusive offer and perhaps you will get that set of 6 steak knives you covert.
(That's not a promise though it is a possibility).
O.K.
i see you are eager to begin, so here, without further ado is my poem.
i have called it "my past life", as it concerns my past life, or rather, my past life as i remember it.
MY PAST LIFE.
Most of us have vague memories of some past life
When we were some-one important
Some people were this famous artist
Some people were a knight who fought in a famous battle,
but were cut to pieces on the last afternoon.
AND THEN THERE’S ALL THE REST!
The cleopatras,
Most of us have vague memories of some past life
When we were some-one important
Some people were this famous artist
Some people were a knight who fought in a famous battle,
but were cut to pieces on the last afternoon.
AND THEN THERE’S ALL THE REST!
The cleopatras,
The shakespeares,
The King Arthurs,The Joan of Arcs:
I’ve met hundreds
With fascinating lives they might have led
somewhere in the distant past…
Take me for instance:-
I was a lizard
But I got eaten by a kookaburra…
So there.
ponder well on the information herein and cherish the existence you have, so that in future times, you might remember this past life, and be pleased that you behaved and dressed as well as you could.
No need to thank me for the enlightenment.
i remain for now;
FACTUAL KERRY

seriously, that's all.

MEDICAL MARVELS.
For those who have a scientific bent
(OR IS THAT A BENT SCIENTIFIC?)
As a being who loves scientific breakthroughs, I feel obliged to pass on interesting and invaluable portions from my vast knowledgable resources for your up-liftingment.
My hero, monkey, works in medical research and development and has perfected abdominal surgery practices. He found that by getting patients to swallow two magnets prior to surgery, he could put them under, and by means of keyhole surgery glue one magnet on either side of the proposed scalpel cut.
When ready to open the abdomen, he simply reverses the magnets polarity, and they tear a straight line between them making a neat entry for the proposed surgical procedure. (and Yes; they ARE strong enough)
At closing time, the magnets are realigned and spring together, thus making ugly out of date stitches obsolete.
The patient is discharged sooner, and the magnets are left until such time as they dissolve (Usually 3 or 4 weeks after the scar has healed)
AS A BONUS, PATIENTS ARE ABLE TO LAUGH IMMEDIATELY ON WAKING....
FACTUAL KERRY.
I HAVE A FOLLOWER...
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lea and I are going to walk in circles and follow each other till we all get sandwiches with those edible confetti things all over
They have a name, but maybe you can think of it
you can have them on icecream too, but you non followers dont get to have ANY!!!!
ha ha ha

warning from Factual Kerry
i failed to mention in my windowcleaner tuition (f)
do not under any circumstances lose concentration and spead sardines on your cat.
this is how people get those horrible hairless cats...
(you know who you are.)
NO ONE believes that special breed stuff
My second best friend, Peg, makes the mistake of her life...
No I can't run over! get off my phone and call emergency services!!!
do not under any circumstances lose concentration and spead sardines on your cat.

How to lose weight quickly.
The person who knows everything has another secret for you.
Here, you combine your iphone pics with your willpower to be the envy of all.
STEP 1. Go to the cake shop and photograph seven of the most delisious cakes you can find.
STEP 2. As a food replacement plan, lick one photo a day as many times as you want.
STEP 3. Run to the mirror you previously avoided and watch the pounds fleeing in terror.
STEP 4. Run to the bank, and see how your savings have grown.
Monkey and factual kerry have strictly followed this plan for three years and are loving it.
(FOR PARTIES WITH YOUR NEW THIN FRIENDS, JUST TAKE MORE PHOTOS...THE BIGGER THE BETTER)
See, it works.
yours weightlessly:
