    Along those lines; I was watching a program called "Blue Planet" last night. There is this one shark that is a bottom dweller which has not changed in 160 million years. If you live at the bottom of the ocean you may never have to adapt and change.

    Then again I recently saw the remake of "The Time Machine". The people/former people living underground were not something I'd want to evolve into.

    I'm a surface kind of guy.:D

    You dont want evolve into underground dwellers? Well I think its well on the way. Underground transport and underground shopping malls?? certainly in Singapore. I suppose land down under is cheaper, you dig a deaper hole than you first thought necessary and build up.

    2 to 3 stories before you get to ground level.

    I dont know where the girl is from but shes not Thai, as a guess Indonesian?

    How would you like to be in a swimming pool with her then Walrus,--Im sure she would be impressed at your ability to waddle around on your belly and enter the pool with a tsunami. You could throw her around like a killer whale with a penguin.

    Get on a plane to Thailand Walrus there are millions of those every where. They even like fat orrible old men. You will be able to get one. SERIOUS !

    Or Cambodia , Vietnam , Laos, Phillappines. Millions and millions of em, all looking for YOU.

    They would rather have you than a 25 year old of there own nationality. WHY did you ask.

    Because young men are aware that there are millions of them and treat then as such. Probably from desperation these women understand men better than any Eoropean woman I have ever met. They would rather have you with your self respect and respect for them .

    Our western built in honour and responsability along with our desire to have educated clean children along with the obvious financial stability make us the most desirable men to them.

    The only problem is that if you visit the East it will destroy your life as you know it . It will burn and burn , you will never forget it. You WILL have to return.

    I dropped my motor bike once, I just couldnt pick it up . I could see a police man looking at me . I was drunk . He walked accross and smiled helped me up with it ,checked it out for damage and said Its ok and patted me on the back. I went to the bar and sat and thought. The rest is history.

    The east

    Since you mentioned it Frosty,
    Lots of my company executive do take the plunge, until today even when their contract had expired you still can see them hanging around, only this time with local lady and kids in tow!

    Don't know much about the Eloi from time machine science fiction but Thai, Filipinos, Indons and Malay ladys do really love pleasure. It is their joy to receive and to give.Only one problem, those who are real good and really enjoy your company are normally not good at sharing the financial burden. They are quite good at spending it..It is your choice!

    Hi, i have this machine in mind since i was child, my university tesis was based on this event.
    i propose an multy terrain craft for 6 persons , 18 feet long in steel and aluminium, the most important feature was a separated frame, i call it the ground unit, in case of water manuvers, in this way 2 diesel engines propel the craft, 1 for the watercraft and 1 for the atv, both work at the same time for the 4x4, if we find tierra firme will move on wheels,if only water on wheels and waterjet and of course,the system will fly with paramotor for recognition
    there is an insect who live on the ground,fly and dive but i dont know their name, and some armed forces uses an amphibious tank, that will be the unit to built in the end of the world, because may be , with too many water the winds will stop or increase? the temp will drop? there is a unit on the gallery
    is a hunting machine, some like that

    Ok, its a very important concep, my idea was for a craft in the beginin of the change, when we have to move and keep safe, not when all is water and we need stay alive, let me read and think what will hapend with the currents all the floating trash and death body´s and destruction, i think my craft will be fixed underground for 1 month and i will be in coma to avoid see the descomposition of the body´s and the rovery, then will raise to see what´s new, eating only peanuts and carring a compound like poly"something" enought to form an artificial island and hidrophonic plants, i will carry some chiken to have eggs, because the sea will be contaminated, the rain water will be contaminated or will no rain in years by the temp change?
    with this in mind let mu see

    Imagine how much floating debris those appendages will catch. I think the hull of such a vessel should be made like a high latitude vessel (no appendages, rounded reinforced hull, protected propeller etc. etc. One could still have a 4x4 on it, and have the best of both worlds. Most things multi end up being crap at everything instead, imo.

    Malaysia-malaysian

    Malaysia is multi ethnic country and multi religion, some are atheist!There is Muslim,Hindu,Christiant,Buddhist,Taoist, Confucious,pagan even some Persian from the old days who pray to the 'Fire god'. The Iban's of Sarawak lots of them still pagan, thanks to the 'white Rajah' they doesn't do head hunting anymore! I'm surprise to see even 'white man' from South Africa -very famous for their Apartheid policy last time, go for Malaysian Indian ethnic lady, whose colour is as sweet and aromatic as freshly brewed coffee.Those blue eyed German lady or French who doesn't mind staying with their inlaws in the village, the Swiss man who stayed with the 'go naked' aborigin in the Borneo jungle actually doesn't want to go back home..! Got to send in the elite squad to get and deport him back to Swiss! those who tag a long with a malay man or lady, get ready to convert to muslim though.. muslims here are not allowed to convert to any other religion. The only set back as found out by my expatriate friends is, they are willing if you are willing to commit to long term relationship.. For short term, only the prost are interested in!

    I have known a few men convert to Islam,--on paper only. It helps if they are circumcised as going to the doctors for circumcision at 50 is a bit embarrasing to say the least and would be enough to make me look elsewhere even if I had got that far?

    There are many religions here,--true,-- but to be honest they are a bit thin on the ground. Thers nothing like a Buddist,-- more of a way of life than a religion and require no more than respectfull way of dealing with others and the planet,---- and an occasional visit to the Wat. ( church)

    Unlike others that require multiple daily visits and total dedication along with certain food restrictions and difficulty in travelling the world. This coupled with career or buisness crippling religious ceremonies lasting a month or more.
