Oswald did not make the fatal shot.

That man really walked on the moon.

That Micheal Jackson is an alien.

And that Emanuel lewis is Sammy Davis Jr's and Eartha Kitt's love child.

That while sleep walking I peed on the couch but every body thought it was the dog.

That Ron Jeramey and Tom Jones are related.

That Elvis is still alive and is a pie taster for sara lee.

Sandy,

You asked for things that we couldn't individually prove, not things that are IMPOSSIBLE to prove!:p

We would need further clarification on the meaning of 'intelligence' in this case.  Set the bar and let's see who steps up to it.

That we all have souls and therefore have the inherent ability to understand all the great truths of the universe but are hampered, by varying degrees, by our physical body (i.e. the brain). Therefore, when we die we comprehend the answers to whatever questions that may have plagued us in our lifetimes. This is why there are "geniuses"; their synapses fire faster than most. Death is the great equalizer in more ways than one.








Yes, I admit to having once done the drug scene, but that was a long time ago.      Really.
