if there were no need for 'engineers from the quantum plenum' then we should not have any unanswered scientific questions.

Aren't they supposed to help with demons and such like? :unsure:

It's a little known fact, demons are frightened of loud noises.

Yes, yes they are.

The vibrations send them packing.

i cant figure fireworks out. its passingly interesting to me to initiate chemical explosions, but sitting down to watch a whole lot of them is a mystery to me.

i see colours in the sky, and burning chemicals, and they make sounds. do people like them as art? like paintings in a gallery?

what makes a fireworks display interesting to people?



set the function, not the mechanism.

1) It causes people to look up, which in and of itself is "up-lifting";
2) Since Canadian smoke covers everything, it reminds us of the stars;
3) It makes more sense on a holiday like July 4, since it sort of replicates a battle - "bombs bursting in air";
4) It is a form of art, lots of colors and designs;
5) It is Chinese, and therefore exotic;
6) It is an excuse to smoke dope while everyone else is distracted.

Speaking for one, yeagh, pretty much. Not like something in a gallery, precisely, but rather something transient. Fleeting in a cloud of gunpowder smoke.

I live in an one-bedroom unit on my own. Looking at the four walls is not my idea of fun.
