This is a really interesting article. What's your take on it?

"This may shock you, but not everything in the bible is true." The only true statement ever to be uttered by Jean Chauvinism, sociopathic emotional terrorist.
"A Boss in Heaven is the best excuse for a boss on earth, therefore If God did exist, he would have to be abolished." Mikhail Bakunin
"The means in which you take,
dictate the ends in which you find yourself."
"Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government! Supreme leadership derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony!"
No Gods, No Masters!

Welcome to 15 years ago?

Twilight blue-light-at-the-end-of-a-tunnel experiences while being incapacitated and barely conscious have been associated with encephalized CO₂ levels since at least the mid-90s. (That's when I remember seeing/hearing about it on TV, as a young'n)

I am surprised the article

I am surprised the article didn't mention the fact that increasing CO2 causes cerebral blood flow to rise. Which is a well recognised phenomenon in medicine.

AS I was reading the article,I started to think to myself,yeah I heard this somewhere,but when I first heard about the CO2 levels,it made me wonder,well that makes sense,but why do people that have not experience a near death episode,also see angles, (they say that the angles help them in so-called normal conditions) in everyday life conditions.I guess this was also when I realized that a lot of people are just -STRANGE.

Signature ? How ?
