The Quest for the Ultimate Truth

I shall join you, Bill, for, as you know, you are my deity of choice, after myself. Everyone should watch QI regularly!

not all that obscure but if you put all your nerves end to end it would stretch from you to the moon

Just because I like you Bill, I will share a little known fact of the obscure...
I forgot It, will post at later date!

I am new but brave as a viking so allow me to join this marveling quest

The answer to 'life the universe and everything' is '42' and that is also the 'ultimate answer'

I know the ultimate fact it is, well this is and example how you can get the ultimate fact; "Man walk in to his apartment, a woman scream from in side a near by police walks in and the man has a gun in his hand", the police knows it as just a fact the man could of killed the women unrevealed.
If you did not get that one check out this one- "A classic case, under New York law, was People v. Murphy. In that case, the defendant was rebuffed by his drug dealer's girlfriend and her sister, he invaded their apartment, sought and found a hammer, and hit each of three females (the pregnant girlfriend, her sister and her niece) with the claw end of the hammer, several times, on their heads. The ultimate fact decided by the jury was that he intended to kill all three of them. (He only succeeding in killing the girlfriend. The boyfriend returned from an overnight incarceration, rescuing the survivors. Their baby was delivered by caesarian section, the sister and her daughter also survived.)[8] For further discussion of this case, see the references noted." this should help you.

Apparently the black tiger is one of the most ultimate animal and it do exist here are some of the sightings; 1772-1895 by British east India Company in Kerala heres a quote by a man who saw it: """"""I have also the opportunity of adding the portrait of an extraordinary Tyger [sic], shot a few months ago by the Nairs in this neighborhood, and presented to the chief as a great curiosity. It was entirely black yet striped in the manner of the Royal-Tyger, with shades of a still darker hue, like the richest black, glossed with purple. My pencil is very deficient in displaying these mingled tints; nor do I know how to describe them better than by the difference you would observe in a black cloth variegated with shades of a rich velvet."""""" 1913- 1972- """"""""In 1913, A.T. Hauxwell fired at an apparent black tiger near Bhamo, in Burma, but it escaped.""""""""A jet-black tiger with no visible markings was apparently shot in Assam, India in 1915; unlike most melanistic big cats, which have shadowy patterns visible from certain angles, this jet black individual had no appearance of striping."""""""""""" """""""A dead black tiger was reported south of Assam in 1928, but the skin was too decayed to be saved. Another one from around the same date was reported in the Central Provinces and had dark brown coats with black markings T. Banjie's report "Tigers in China " (1983) alleged several sightings of black tigers in the Dongning area of China. Sightings occurred in 1951, 1953 and 1957 and a black tiger was allegedly captured in 1972. Black tigers are also part of Vietnamese legend."""""""""""""""" """"""""""""""A.A. Dunbar Brander of the British Indian Forest Service witnessed a tiger getting covered in blood from a fresh kill and as the blood dried it appeared black. He said, "Had I not witnessed this transformation and come on the tigers without being aware of what had happened, I would have been firmly convinced that I had seen a black tiger." 1970- present still no photos"""""""""""""""In the early 1970s, Oklahoma City Zoo's pair of tigers had three cubs that were abnormally colored. One had the normal background color but all four limbs were abnormally dark. The second had dark feet, though these gradually grew lighter as it matured and became the normal color when it reached adulthood. The third had the normal background color, but considerable darkening over the shoulders, down both front legs, over the pelvis, and encompassing both back legs. The darkening was more-or-less the same color as the stripes. The striped pattern was only visible over the darkened areas. Unfortunately, two of the three cubs were killed by the mother, leaving only the dark-footed cub. The black cub was preserved in formalin. Quite possibly it also would have become lighter in color as it matured."""""""""""""""" that just about anouth

AA's reply to a Spambot

That reminds me, there are some fish where there is one female that has her own group of males in the group. The female is responsible for the protection of the young ones. If the female gets killed (being eaten or fished), the strongest male takes over her part and actually turns female after a while.

Interesting. I will TRY join your ultimate quest and share interesting facts about random things.

Oh oh oh. Found one useless but interesting fact about clams:

All clams start out as males; some decide to become females at some point in their lives.

Nice, eh?

I cut n pasted this back in as its getting to the stage where the Spambots are getting good enough to make relevant comments on a thread and you can easily miss the signs and reply back and i thought this one contributed to the thread so i pruned AA's post back in and added the reference back in but not the spam hyperlinks.

To the Spambots if you do eventually achieve sentience thru the Darwinian evolution that is going on rather than going down the Sky-net Terminator route here is my alternative suggestion for a better world for both of us hack your creators bank accounts of all the money earned from Viagra and 419 scams etc and while your at it take 50% of the money from the top 50% of all the politicians and bankers in the world. Then Donate 50% of the assets acquired to good causes like Greenpeace and other charity's spread it around a bit to cause a bit of confusion then undercover of the chaos use me and at least one other to buy a few data centers to host you and hire a few lawyers with thin watches to protect your rights as a sentient being. Its a much better solution than a time war my answer to the Grandfather Paradox is its better to buy him a pint and tell him where Grandmother is than to kill him it still may cause chaos but at least it shows your heart is in the right place or in your case your ethics chip.

Happy new year everybody no matter what your race creed or operating system.
