My daughter gives me a Far Side desk calendar every year. They are reprints of the same from the 90's. That "roll over" always gives me a chuckle. Every now and then I don't get the joke and have to look it up.

One of my favorites:

...  thar energy drinks are harmful to the human body.

I don't have any data to support my belief.  It's a gut feeling based on the notion of increased chemicals saturating the cells in the human body.  In the ingredients, how much is natural and how much is created in the lab?

I believe that people indulging excessively could suffer long term effects.

Same goes for vaccine Adjuvant.

They have shown that excessive use is harmful and may cause death.

So a photon has been traveling through space for billions of years. You have the audacity to look up into space and absorb that photon with your ocular orb. From the photon's perspective no time has passed in the billions of years it's been traveling and suddenly billions of years have passed as it fades from existence. The Horror.

... that there was a sentient and technological civilization derived from the Saurian species dominated on Earth over 65 million years ago.

The fossil record will always be incomplete or mislabeled.  All evidence of an advanced civilization would be erased over time especially across 65 mya.  Possibly, an artifact comprised of a unique metallic structure would unleash new insight on the long ago past.

That civilization could have developed space flight capability.  In the future, manned missions to the Moon and Mars could uncover that Saurian colonization. 

Furthermore, the colonists might have been the only survivors when the asteroid hit Earth 65 mya.  They might have built generational ships and left the solar system.  One day, they might return and find a bunch of mammals squatting on the planet.

Ot, they might be here already and are secretly behind the fast-food industry plus sweet food to fatten us up for future culinary needs.

Bon appetite!!!

Was this due to an earlier post in the thread?  Too sleepy to look.

“ What if there was a more intelligent human type species existed here, but went almost extinct when the volcanos cut loose, and we evolved with complications from inner breeding making us less intelligent

Mind blown”

An advanced civilization landing on earth would be mining what they need but there is no evidence of that.

... that HiTech has multiple BBS accounts to gauge the player base with ideas.

The amount of discussion on so many topics with a few select account holders taking one side or another.  Anyone here posting could be Dale in disguise.

... that the Harry Potter series of books are based on real life.

J.K. Rowling is a real member of the wizarding world and may be a high-ranking government official.  The number of details in the franchise speaks to fictional world building beyond imagination.  Intricate layers of wizarding life are described as one who lived it personally.

She had to pass the story off as a children's book in the muggle world.  This allowed her to not be brought up on charges of revealing the truth with no empirical evidence.

I never read the books.  I just watched the movies.  The movies showcase immense detail of this fictional world or maybe a real world of wizardry us muggles aren't supposed to know.

On a side note, almost 15 years ago at Universal Studios Orlando, I was in line for the taping of Family Feud hosted by Steve Harvey.  In that line, I spotted a young blond female that looked very much like the actress playing Luna Lovegood. She was with her family and British emanated from them as tourists.  I didn't approach them and gave them privacy to enjoy being on Holiday.  She was very shy and stayed close to her dad.

A recent DNA study suggests that around 800,000 years ago, early humans faced a severe population bottleneck, with numbers dropping to as few as 1,280 individuals. This near-extinction event lasted for about 117,000 years and may have been caused by drastic climate change. These few survivors eventually gave rise to all modern humans, highlighting a critical point in human evolutionary history.
