About the first topic, psychic "research." I just want to say that, since science is by its very nature, physical and psychic experience is, by its own nature, entirely non-physical, proving one with the other is like trying to prove there are particles in the air without using a microscope. Of course, it's doomed to failure. And that is exactly what scientists want, possibly because they cannot stand the concept of anything significant being non-physical.

There was believed to be a disease in Australia that was so painful and horrifying that people who got it would beg to be killed between the pain, spasms, and psychological effects. One dude thought it was caused by jellyfish, and to prove it he caught some, and had them sting him, then got his son and a friend to try it. Yes, he was right. After days of pain and weeks of recovery, he had proved his point. Definitely deserved a spot here.

A couple of years ago a beehive got established inside the wall of my house, between the exterior and kitchen walls, under the sink. Dozens of bees would make their way into the kitchen daily until I got a beekeeper to remove the hive. This took about a fortnight, so I got used to treading lightly and opening the back door so they could follow the light back outside. One landed on my temple and walked across my left eyeball. Thankfully I was used to them buzzing around, so I just froze and stared straight ahead until it decided my face wasn't worth exploring and took off again. I'll take his word about the nostril, though.

I knew Mad Mike Hughes. He was actually a genius…and like the video said, didn’t believe that flat-earth crap. He drove the limo at a paving company I used to work at. His “hobby on the side” was building rockets and jumping limos. (At one point he had the Guinness record for longest ramp jump…or some weird thing) He wanted to “revolutionize” the rocket industry with some hydro-powered something or another. He used to share my office, and order all the parts from around the world…all funded by himself, on a limo-driver salary. The longer he went, the bigger his rockets got. The bigger the rockets, the more expensive they were…until he finally couldn’t afford it himself anymore. Apparently…the flat earth dudes paid him $40,000 to put a sticker on the rocket, and snap a photo at the top. He was A LOT smarter than people think…and he played on that brilliantly.

He began screaming, running back home. Me & my other brother tried beating them off as we ran. They bit him all over, including eyelids, inside ears, mouth. My mom took him to hospital. He was bitten & stung over 175 times. He stayed in hospital almost week. Now if he is stung or bitten by bee, wasp, yellow jackets, hornets, anything, it will kill him.

DDT was banned due to the unintended harm it did to the environment beyond the targeted pests-particularly on birds. It was and still is considered safe for humans. It's used even today in India and other tropical countries for controlling mosquitoes. (Its use as an agricultural pesticide has been banned.) In regions having high mosquito-borne diseases, we literally spray it on the inside walls of our houses every couple of months. 🦟🚫 I looked up the Loibls.
