The mind

BANG! Ha that wasn't what you were expecting was it you dirty rat bastard. Actually it wasn't what I was expecting either. I meant to start this post with 'Have you ever wondered...' something or another. But then my mind started wandering and I forgot what I was wondering, so that's how we get to the big bang. Not the Big Bang mind you just the big one. And by this point I've managed to remember what I was wondering before I started wandering and that was how the mind works. No one really knows. The process of figuring it out is sort of like building the trans continental railway. There are two sides of how it works, the physical aspects and the psychological ones. And as far as I understand it the one is barely to the Rockies and the other is still stuck in the Catskills. Which basically means we have no real understanding of how the brains works. We may somewhat understand how people think, and we are starting to get a grasp on how physical processes in the brain work. But we have absolutely no understanding of how they are connected. I may be wrong on this, I'm not a scientist or anything, but I try ot keep up to date with scientific progress, and I would assume I would have heard about any grand breakthroughs in how the physics of the brain affect how we think. I'm even more unsure about my transcontinental railroad metaphor. The metaphor works but I really have no idea where each side is relative to the coasts. I don't think the scientists really know either. It seems to me that its more like building a transcontinetal railraod when you have no idea how big the continent is. For all we know the two branches could have gone far enough to reach each other but somehow gotten off course and never connected. Well that's about all I wanted to say. Oh and thanks Kelley for being my muse in this instance. All you really did was ask if I had written anything, but apparently that was enough.

More thoughts on pig weed

I know its not really the best thing to be thinking about. But I can't seem to keep this pig weed idea out of my head. Some may say that all of the ideas expressed in both this post and the last are completely unethical and extremely cruel. And to those people I say I completely agree. But it makes an interesting and thoroughly amusing thought experiment.
Ok I've got this pretty much completely figured out now. I still haven't really considered how many pigs you would need per say square meter of sea of green style grow, but I'll outline the strategy for one pig and that could be repeated for more if necessary. First of all you're gonna need a treadmill. Good meat requires good muscles, not overly tough but still reasonably well exercised. The confinement of a grow op and the need to keep the pigs from eating the plants means you will probably have to cage the pig. Now this should be fine, many domesticated pigs are raised as pets in cages. This does raise another problem: for god's sake don't give the pig a name. At first giving the pig a name may sound like a good idea, but don't be fooled. When you are looking down at that delicious bowl of roast pork do you really want to be thinking 'Oh God! I've killed Betsy!' NO! You want to be thinking 'mmm this is gonna taste great.' So just skip the whole name idea. Now on to the cage. The size of your cage should depend both on the size of pig you have and the size of your growroom. I would suggest getting a cage that can fit the treadmill inside, that way you won't have to deal with supervising the pig's exercise. Also you will probably want to be able to get inside the cage yourself. You don't want your weed smelling like a pig sty now do you? I'm no expert on pig exercise habits, but I figure a couple hours a day of casual walking pace on the treadmill should be good.
Well that's about all I've thought of so far. I'll post more ideas if any come to mind.


(Please note that if you can't tell this is a joke then you are an utter moron and I have no respect for you at all)

For all you unethical marijuana growers

I was just reading about a bust on a grow op and I was intrigued by the whole ventilation problem. Not necessarily the smell problem but the problem of replenishing CO2 in an indoor grow room. And while considering the methods of doing this, which usually involve pumping air into or out of the room, I came up with a quite different idea. I don't think it would actually be feasible and even if it was I would not suggest it as it verges on cruelty to animals. Actually it is cruel to animals there's no verging in this case. So my idea is this. Keep some type of animal in your grow-room. I'm thinking pigs. I don't know anything about numbers, but unless you have a huge grow I doubt you would want more than one or two. Why not mimic nature. That's basically what the rest of the grow room is trying to do. So why not use animals the way the natural environment does. We, as animals, breath in oxygen and expel carbon dioxide. And plants in return use that carbon dioxide to create energy and expel oxygen as a byproduct. Actually it works the other way around. The plants were first. We just developed a way to use their byproducts. But that doesn't really matter in this case. Of course as I said before, raising pigs in your grow room would be highly unethical as you would be raising them in a confined space in which they would never even see the light of day. But on the bright side you would have plenty of delicious bacon, ham, pork chops, etc. to eat when you start getting the munchies.
