The double pendulum gives an example of chaotic motion
Vertical Farms - Indoor Hydroponic Agriculture
In a controlled environment like this where pests, nutriants, air pollution, and even bacterias can be completely controlled from seed to delivery without antibotics - the food is likely to be far healthier. Potentially even organic certified as long as the process is carefully controlled.
Unfortunately it's when greed steps in and the ethics of producing healthy food gets completely abandoned. And since this takes money and investment it's almost guaranteed they would move to GM food's, articitial growth cycles and hormones, lower the nutriants but increase the speed and out put of the factory line etc...

GOP Introduces Reagan Purity Test - Reagan Fails
...and then take a fanatical position that doesn't believe in freedom to have an opinion or democracy to represent the people rather than "The Party"
I'm sure the Taliban have a purity test as well.
Natural Morality
There are plenty of contradicting 'law of the jungle' behaviours.
While penguins mate for life and appreciate their children, female spiders kill and eat the male after mating, some bird species have two eggs as backup and let only one chick survive.
Some bird species will raise another's chicks, while it's also quite common for birds to kill all the chicks of another species to steal the nest.
Lions as a pride family, cooperate as a social unit, in yet a new male lion will kill and eat the cubs of any other male to secure his line when he becomes the alpha male.
In many species the alpha male only gets to that position by maiming, killing, or at the least exiling both the previous alpha and any younger challengers.
It's not morality, regardless of religion, for both people and animals it's about power.
The lizards don't kill each other because they are evenly matched if they both poison each other it would be suicide. But given the chance to kill the offspring of the rival without fear of retribution - the weak get crushed.

Natural Morality
Justifing actions as unquestionable dictates from god, combined with heaven providing reward rather than consequence from death ... Actually by passes the natural imperitive to protect other humans!
You could argue that without religion the world would live in harmony with more morality as there would be no reason to kill, torture, or abuse anyone who your god judged to be inferior.
Sure there will always be those who hurt others for greed or power - but belief in god has never stopped those people - more othen actually - gave others reason to help them.
Unintentional Joke of the Day 11/20/09
But sometimes sure, he's into it. If the mood is right, if they buy him dinner, but not all the time - life can't just all be about deep throat. Sometimes you need to vary it to keep things exciting...
Lady Ga Ga before she was famous
I hate artists, wrapped up in snobbery, convinced they're better than everyone else because their lack of actual talent, forces them to suffer in poverty and obscurity while the rest of us spend each day trying to make a living.
Give me the genuine talented performer who doesnt do it for the art or the money - but the joy it brings other people.

What if Earth had rings like Saturn?
Wish they would have covered the shadow cast on the surface
Exactly what got me thinking...
If the rings follow the tilt of the axis, then the northern and southern hemispheres would be in darkness for winter with a spectatular 'ring-solstice' when the shadow moved past mid way through the year.
The temperature between the shadowed area, and the sunny side with massive solar reflection on it would create some interesting weather.
And if the ring wasn't equidistant to the moon, you'd see beautiful bridges of dust being drawn to the moon as it passed.
