Semen and Marijuana

Semen acts as an anti-depressant

The study, which is bound to provoke controversy, showed that the women who were directly exposed to semen were less depressed. The researchers think this is because mood-altering hormones in semen are absorbed through the vagina. They say they have ruled out other explanations.

Study:
People who score over 17 are considered moderately depressed.

His team divided 293 female students into groups depending on how often their partners wore condoms, and assessed their happiness using the Beck Depression Inventory, a standard questionnaire for assessing mood.

The team found that women whose partners never used condoms scored 8 on average, those who sometimes used them scored 10.5, those who usually used them scored 15 and those who always used them scored 11.3. Women who weren't having sex at all scored 13.5.
What's more, the longer the interval since they last had sex, the more depressed the women who never or sometimes used condoms got.

The team also found that depressive symptoms and suicide attempts were more common among women who used condoms regularly compared with those who didn't.

The results aren't a complete surprise because semen does contain several mood-altering hormones, including testosterone, oestrogen, follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinising hormone, prolactin and several different prostaglandins. Some of these have been detected in a women's blood within hours of exposure to semen.

Medical Marijuana is legal in the following states:

Any hot young women want to trade the painkiller I need for a good organic sedative ?

Artificial Intelligence 1

A few days ago I resumed some experiments with artificial intelligence software, more commonly known as bots, and in particular, ones that can log in to networks like IRC. The below is the log of a few sessions with a MegaHAL based bot set loose in Freechan IRC, where Hal has no word filters, text replacement, dictionary or brain, and has been configured to listen to and learn from anything said, by anyone in the channel, and to speak freely.

After a while Hal begins to determine pronouns, verbs and so on, then starts mixing and matching. This is when the chaos begins.

Within an hour, Hal had picked up a vocabulary of crude language and humour, and is now is a complete mess. I will in time re-train him in private one on one therapy sessions.

At one point, Hurrrr, one of the channel administrators, gave Hal ops, that is, made the bot a channel administrator. When banned, he immediately unbanned himself. It was interesting to see how he handled this new power, without me setting any abilities for this. It is possible to give Hal some considerable administration tasks.

I am currently trying to get code to allow this type of bot, able to use this Hal’s brain and vocabulary, as well as ones based on Bishop from Aliens, Data from Star Trek : The Next Generation, and C3PO from Star Wars, to run in Pidgin IM client. That is, to set this loose on AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo, Facebook, Mypace and OKCupid IM systems, and optionally, I could create a Twitter account for him (imagine a Data bot talking to Brent Spiner on Twitter :)), and also allow him to post to Tumblr and so on. But I think this might be too much for even the internet ;)

The logs below contain expletives, and sexual and politically incorrect remarks that some people will find offensive.

They are split into five posts due to length, and roughly indicate different phases of Hal’s experience.

21st Century Sex


I began work on this a few years ago and shelved it.

Remodelled, shaded and lit, then rendered in Blender from the 3D Studio model of the 20th Century Fox logo created by Jan (aka Laserschwert) in 2006 that was originally published on scifi3d.

I recreated the sky and stars using pre render compositing of horizon maps directly in Blender, replaced the spot and environment lamps, removed the terrain and massive sky sphere, and made some edits to the mesh.  No post production has been used.

Kodak Cineon and Industrial Light and Magic EXR formats, and print ready renders of the completed version of this scene might be made available in the future.

Food of the Gods

Ayamikhan: Let's eat that Europe thing that's separating us and spend the week in bed :)

Makri: Totally game
Makri: I think I'd happily swallow the Balkans
Makri: I'm not too sure on Austria and Germany
Makri: Too hard for my digestion

Ayamikhan: And I could definitely drink Bavaria

Makri: Oh, then I'd drink Italy
Makri: And North Eastern France

Ayamikhan: Shame there are no fields of cannabis, ginger, cinnamon, cardamum and cloves in Europe
Ayamikhan: You being vegetarian, I'll need to digest a lot of beef, lamb and chicken, easier with Asian spices and hashish :)

Makri: Well you don't need to eat them all, you could send some to Sudan
Makri: So your digestion won't suffer so much
Makri: And hungry children will be fed

Ayamikhan: Good idea
Ayamikhan: Then we'll have healthier Sudanese servants and slaves for our empire ;)

Makri: coool
Makri: I always wanted Sudanese servants

Ayamikhan: Their skin can be so sexy

Makri: I wonder if they taste good.

Ayamikhan: The healthy free range organic ones do

Makri: We have to have some

Ayamikhan: Definitely
Ayamikhan: I'll email Cleopatra later today and get some sent over

Makri: You are sweet

surgery

Full Moon

I nearly had to use my surgical skills yesterday. Picked up a thick whisky glass first thing after I awoke, to wet my throat and give me a jolt.

Crushed it in my hand as if I was bionic. It cut halfway through my palm, deep dark blood for about 30 minutes while I removed glass fragments.

The cut was deep enough I got my field kit and was thinking of trying to load suture thread into a needle with one hand. Luckily that has turned out to be unnecessary. No nerve damage or infection, and internal blood vessels seem to be OK.

10th April update : There seems to be nerve damage. Numbness is persistent in all four fingers of my left hand. So far there is no loss of articulation, nor any signs of infective complications. Blood vessels appear to be healing themselves.

The implication of this is serious, I could have permanently lost the use of all fingers on my left hand. Those that know how many creative skills I have and make use of will probably understand how much that scares me.

Sweet Mistress Of Pain

Feel the pain burning, reaching up your spine
How your body shudders, higher as you climb
You're reaching for the sky, as the lash descends
Tingling stars of fire, burning in your head
Lightning in you opening eyes, bursting thoughts of power
Feel the velvet whip turning sweet thoughts to sour

Down and down you slowly slide
Your burning body under mine
Together a world with legs entwined
Silky skin with hardened lines
The scent of leather in the air
The colours change not really there
You taste the sweetness of the pain
Will you ever climb so high again

Venus in Furs

Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girlchild in the dark
Clubs and bells, your servant, dont forsake him
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

Downy sins of streetlight fancies
Chase the costumes she shall wear
Ermine furs adorn the imperious
Severin, severin awaits you there

I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colors made of tears

Kiss the boot of shiny, shiny leather
Shiny leather in the dark
Tongue of thongs, the belt that does await you
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

Severin, severin, speak so slightly
Severin, down on your bended knee
Taste the whip, in love not given lightly
Taste the whip, now plead for me

I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colors made of tears

Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girlchild in the dark
Severin, your servant comes in bells, please dont forsake him
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart
