13 Everyday Things That Are Harder To Do In Space Via Chris Hadfield

1. Tortilla sandwiches anyone?

 

floating-tortilla

 

Bread is not allowed in the space station because the crumbs would fly everywhere. So sandwiches have to be made with tortillas.

2. Clipping your nails.

 

nail-clipping

 

Nails have to be cut over air ducts otherwise they will fly away.

3. Getting your daily vegetables.

 

air-locked-food

 

Vegetables come in dehydrated packs and have to be rehydrated by a special machine before eating.

4. Drying out your towel.

 

towel

 

This doesn’t exactly work too well…

5. Puking.

 

Barf-bag

 

Astronauts are given specially made bags that keep their throw up contained.

6. Brushing your teeth.

 

Brushing-teeth

 

The only condition about brushing your teeth is that you have to swallow the toothpaste.

7. Most of your desserts are pudding.

 

eating-desserts

 

Doesn’t seem like a big deal to me. I’m pretty sure they still get to eat space ice cream, and that chocolate pudding looks delicious.

8. You have only one place where you can get a haircut.

 

haircut

 

There’s a specially designed hair clipper on the international space station with an attached vacuum to suck up all the hair so it doesn’t fly all over the place.

9. You’ll go nuts over nuts.

 

Floating-nuts

 

If you aren’t careful, you’ll have nuts everywhere.

10. There are no sinks for you to wash your hands.

 

floating-soap

 

However, they are given pre-packaged soap water that they rub on their hands.

11. No water can be used while shaving.

 

Shave-gel

 

Instead astronauts use specially designed cream to prevent facial hair from floating away.

12. Everyone knows when you’re crying.

 

teary-eye

 

The tears just stick to your face.

13. Sleeping isn’t easy.

 

sleeping-bag

 

You have to use a special tethered sleeping bag and sleep in a little compartment so you don’t float around and bang into things while you’re out cold. If you’re claustrophobic, you’re not going to make a good astronaut.

Pictures from our Ancient and Modern World

7wonders-small

As a kid I have been fascinated with history and the wonders our world has left us from civilisations past and gone and also new manmade structures I love, this world offers so much wonder yet we almost deny it. I will give you an example 3 of the most iconic things in the world are in my City, Edinburgh Castle, and the Forth Road and Rail Bridge, like people living in the shadow of the Great Pyramid or the Taj Mahal we tend to just walk past as it is has been part of our World and our life since birth, so we don’t see the mystery and amazement at them, so I will show you the things in world, old and new that spark imagination and wonder into my mind and soul

This Evil Bilderberg group that doesn’t exist… Met All Weekend

The Bilderberg Group summit - Watford

Why the secrecy

WE MUST WAKE UP, TIME IS RUNNING OUT...FAST!

WE MUST WAKE UP, TIME IS RUNNING OUT…FAST!

 

David Cameron is to attend the secretive Bilderberg group at the luxury Grove hotel in Watford on Friday evening, in a move that is likely to raise questions about his pledge to lead Britain’s most transparent government.

Downing Street said it was acting in an open manner by publicising the prime minister’s attendance in advance.

The PM’s spokesman, who said heads of government of countries hosting the annual Bilderberg meeting were usually invited to attend, said it would be a private event and that civil servants were not expected to attend.

No 10 is to clarify the position because ministers are usually expected to be accompanied by civil service note-takers when they meet business leaders. Henri de Castries, the chairman and CEO of the AXA Group, is the Bilderberg chairman.

Bilderberg_2582824b

Billionaires, Royals, Politicians the ELITE of our world met in secret in Watford, England, UK Yesterday, for the 1st time EVER the media really carried the story. See, for politicians to be at this meeting is illegal, once a servant to your public, you can’t meet in private where the agenda is unknown. This is illegal. So the Prime Minister of my Country attended this meeting that will last a few days, it started Friday, conspiracists also turned up as well as the media.

So what is the agenda with the Buildenberg Group? The minutes of the meeting are never disclosed, the Queen of England has been, almost every President or Prime Minister of every country goes, the heads of corporations attend, and the richest people on Earth attend also. Why? What agenda are they setting? They are in complete violation of many laws forbidding this. I blogged down the page “Why are the good guys killed” JFK was opposed to the Buildenberg Group and was killed because of this speech here, I researched this to DEATH, This killed him

Anyone who can’t see the bigger picture here sadly needs to research, there are a group of people running our planet, and running it into the ground. We are fed the illusion we have Presidents and Prime Ministers who make the decisions, do a little research, we learnt at School, we can learn on-line. We are being controlled on all sides by this Group. They set prices, dictate who will die, where War will happen, who may die, who may live. I have been saying this, with many others for 20 years, some longer, we got laughed at. A sitting member of ANY parliament can’t sit in a secret meeting. This is a fact, check: http://pzen.northwest.net/index.php?main_page=page_55

People will read this and think, yeah, whatever, what is for breakfast, but really, what is the agenda here? Why do they meet in secret, why are there official minutes of this meeting, what are they debating? The price of Oil?

Answers on a postcard please

  • Attendees thought to include politicians, top business executives and royalty
  • Delegates were heckled by protesters as they arrived for four-day meeting
  • MP Michael Meacher describes delegates as the ‘real top brass of Western finance capitalism’
  • Massive police operation could cost British taxpayer around £2million
  • Conspiracy theorists claim leaders use event to plot world domination
  • Bilderberg researcher: ‘There are villains there who are basically trying to organise government’ 
  • Jeff Bezos of Amazon and Eric Schmidt of Google will both be attending
  • List of 140 politicians, academics and businessmen only includes 14 women

ILLUMINATI RITUAL BOHEMIAN GROVE FILMED! Alex Jones, I am not a fan, but he was on to this way before anyone, besides JFK! 

 

David Icke also got in on the act.

 

THERE, ALL ON TAPE, THE MEDIA PICKED IT UP, AND I AM SHOWING HOW DEEP THIS GOES. TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT OR BURY YOUR HEAD IN THE SAND!  If this scares you, then I would face it now, because when the shit hits the fan with this, and the new world order happens, there is NOTHING you can do. We have little time to  stop this. I am wasting my time here. I know, but like everyone in the pictures there, and anything you research, I am one of 10’s of thousands of people trying to get to the truth of this Skull and Bones Gang. They are EVIL! 

 

Loch Ness Monster and other beasts and monsters: Are Nessie and others just a tourist conspiracy?

loch-ness-monster

I probably know the answer to his already, but the amount of people I talk to from foreign shores always ask me about “Nessie” The Loch Ness Monster, Real or Myth

I have been up several times to Lock Ness and the scenery is just SPECTACULAR up there

abbywide

The question always gets asked, so I thought I would do a blog on it before the Football starts on the TV.

I personally always believed it to be a money making Myth, I don’t think the Scottish Tourist Board would love me for saying this, but the chances of a prehistoric monster in this Loch is, well, absurd I guess. The most famous photo out of the many is this one here, this is the most iconic image from thousands

images

Hoaxed_photo_of_the_Loch_Ness_monster

For me, I think that is an Elephant underwater, do quick research of when the picture was taken and you see right away a Circus was in town, could it be an elephant under water? It would not be unheard of, Elephants do swim, the image below could be taken as “Nessie” if you seen it from the other side of the loch, maybe…

images (1)

The Monster Legend started around the 6th Century AD and it rolled from there, could all these people be wrong? Could a family of Monsters be living 100 miles from me in a body of water?  If so there would 100% have to be an unknown way to the Sea, as the fish life in the Loch would not be enough, the size of the loch are as follows

Area56.4 km²

Length36.3 km

Width2.7 km

Surface elevation16 m above sea level

So a fairly big loch and the mystery will keep going despite my blog and hundreds of Discovery Channel type Documentaries on TV. It is one of these Myths like Bigfoot or Chupacabra, Jersey Devil, Champ the American version of the Loch Ness monster based in Lake Champlain Quebec or most recently the Montauk Monster in New York America, Also the Fiji Mermaid, Ogopogo Canada’s Loch Ness Monster that lurks in British Columbia’s Lake Okanagan to Vampires and all in-between

I guess we will never know, logic tells us “Awww come on” and we laugh, but we never know. Strange things happen on this blue globe, and be them tourist attractions or real, they are sure fun to discuss

Do you have an opinion of any of the above, or a story to share? If so, please do

Say what you want, it’s and interesting topic, the Plum Island (New York) is something I have researched and a few odd things have appeared. So, what are your thoughts? Feel free to throw them my way, I neither believe or disbelieve. I am a “Proof” type of guy, there is more proof than not proof, so I don’t know. To dismiss out of hand is maybe wrong.

Fun debate I hope..
