Happy Sunday boys and girls
Harry Potter minis game? That might be my way to get my wife interested in miniatures games. She loves RPGs, but I’ve not found a minis game that she could get into.
happy sunday!
Happy Sunday!
In this week’s episode of “Warren Mangles Science”, as Justin goes “So I have a problem with this, right?” I so wanted him to simply say “It’s B@ll@cks!” As it is, picking up on the ‘why Ireland’ angle, it’s bloody obvious… the inter-galactic tax arrangements means it’s a good place to locate stuff. SO why are Google, Microsoft and facebook etc all located in this same place too? They’re clearly run by aliens still attempting to enslave us, this time not through blood-doping, but through the little devices we all carry around with us now. We’ve all seen the ones… Read more »
Lol im reaching for my sunglasses right now its the only way to see them for what they really are!!!!!!!!! 😉
Sad news for Kingdom Death fans.The lantern festival was cancelled which was the last expansion left to finish off the Kickstarter fulfillment. Adam is issuing a refund for it and thankfully so far the backers of this project are very understanding. That is because unlike some companies like Palladium or Prodos these backers and myself feel like even though there were issues with this Kickstarter Adam Poots (creator) was always honest and forthcoming about any difficulties. In the end he delivered an amazing product and because of the trust he built and his insane drive for perfection we understood when… Read more »
@warwolf thanks for letting me know. gutted, but like you said in his own time. probably could do with so breathing space to promote the game and take the pressure off a little after the burn out of the last few years. take a break Adam mate you deserve it.
I am really looking forward to seeing this one, but unfortunately it seems my internet doesn’t want me too :'(
uggh! Why! why @warzan did you say some of the stuff you did? I feel compelled to respond to defend @dignity and one thing. Not all war is daft, sometimes war is a fight for survival and when it is that be it due to incursion or due to an ideology which wishes for your absolute destruction that is when war is just. Sometimes people must band together beyond themselves for their defence. Everyone has a right to defend their life. That out of the way, which is a pretty heavy statement in of itself. The problem is that both… Read more »
@dignity , Warren has a point about the reptiles mate. Saint Paddy kicked the snakes out of Ireland, who’s to say that’s nota metaphor for him leading a rebellion against the lizard alien monkey tinkerering slavemasters?
@warzan, so what you are saying is that the population of Northern Ireland are genetically modified ex slaves who overthrew their reptilian alien masters. Have you been watching V the Series lately?
Also, with your interest in exploring space for the betterment on mankind, you need to become an Assgaurdian as well as Justin, cus that’s what the founders of Asgardia are all about.
Im quite happy to delegate that ‘honour’ to the younger, fitter, more leading man type figure that is @dignity 😉
Putting my archaeologist hat back on (it’s not a fedora but it is broad-brimmed…) Sumer was o the first known urban civilisations in Southern Mesopotamia (modern Southern Iraq). It has been suggested that the first settlements sprang up in this area between 5500 and 4000 BC, whilst the first examples of Sumerian Cuneiform writing (some of the earliest for which we have physical remnants) date to 3000 BC. There is some theory that Sumerians would have populated the area we now know as the Persian Gulf, before it flooded at the end of the last ice age (in much the… Read more »
If I remember correctly the Sumerians believed that their Gods lived in what is now called Bahrain
I don’t know if there was a direct corrolation between Bharain and the Sumerian pantheon, but it’s thought that it was referenced in the Gilgamesh poem as a paradise. Whilst now it is effectively a barren desert for the period we are talking about it would have been extremely temperate so that would match up. In fact, excavations of ancient graves have found people buried with pots that contain the remains of snakes. Given this and the presumed climate has given rise to the suggestion that Sumerian-era Bharain may have been the Garden of Eden described in Genesis. Or at… Read more »
Blimey @torros – you must be older than you look! Good memory though…
That’s reincarnation for you 😉
Rh negative blood is highly resistant to chikungunya carried by infected mosquitoes. Given that mosquitoes are the worlds most deadly killers accountable for some 725,000 deaths each year, then being Rh negative in areas of high mosquito populations might be a good thing
Mmmmmmmm, we have spuds tho… and stout… 😉
Lol, for sure 😉
And a certain other beverage that shall not be named – but possibly consumed this weekend 🙂

Alas poor Justin…:-)
@dignity unboxed! 😉
Morning All.
Just wanted to ask Warren. If we already have the funds kicking about to help out our own planet who do I need to apply to to get the money for a copy of kingdom death Monster.
TPTB 😉
Regarding the negative rhesus bit…
Is the Baylonian, reptilian overlord genetic manipulation explanation the most reasonable one when Northern Ireland is ground zero for both rhesus negative blood AND gigantism, with gigantism being caused by inbreeding (Warren, last week iirc).
I would go for that inbreeding being the cause of negative rhesus blood, after all you dragged the royal family into the discussion and just look at history… royal families and inbreeding… need I say more 🙂
Half my message didn’t post.
I added to the above.
I’m so glad I became a backstager. Really enjoying the Sunday shows guys. Thanks
Nice show guys. Sumer was formed by what we believe were Asian migrants in 5000 BC long after other tribes already inhabbiting the area. The reason we know so much about the Sumerians is that we have a lot of Cuniform tablets from them. (If you think chicken scrawl handwriting is bad check out Cuniform yesh). I agree with Justin in that we don’t know 100% of human DNA and genes from that long ago and the fact we still have an appendix shows this. Remember evolution doesn’t take the best approach it takes the easiest so if it is… Read more »
That is flipping fantastic, gonna have a read about this!!!!
I have read that Wellington knew that this was going to happen and turned a blind eye
After this person’s death the corpse did have wounds that matched Neys
Totalyy agree with you @warzan ! If we (as a species) weren’t so distracted we’d be terraforming Mars right now
Given the size of the human population and the length of time we have now been around there really should be more genetic mutations than there are. Well apart from colour and some simple gene changes there is buggar all really which is highly unusual
Hi guys, great show again.
Just one thing, Ben AoS is not Warhammer.
I thought people had got over this and had learned that they were two separate games.
To add to what Warren was saying about: that we are gene slaves of aliens.
We as a species have around 3700 fatal defects in our gene code. The next closest animal to us on fatal flaws has 70. Nothing evolved naturally can have 3700 fatal errors Also this kinda kills the theory that we are made by a perfect being/God. unless he was a jobs worth intern working late on Friday rushing to get out of the office to get to a music festival for the week end or English 🙂
Remember Humans aren’t supposed to live like this. We aren’t meant to farm that was an evolutionary accident. We didn’t just change habbitats or diets we changed our very evolutionary cycle. We developed the ability to reason (although taxes are still seen as ok so we still have a bit to go) we can formulate insane ideas like a screwdriver or I-Pad. When you go from eating berries and clubbing women over the head to ordering a pizza and using Tinder a few defects can be expected. We didn’t evolve naturally (Well you know what I mean) we forced our… Read more »
Rimmer World – only worse 😉
I still say the best analogue for humanity I read was along the lines of this:
Able to endure staggering amounts of damage, up to & including the loss of bodyparts. Have developed a variety of prosthesis to aid those who need them. Able to adapt to almost any environment that permits the possibility of life. Willing to throw themselves into insane danger for fun. Includes individuals who will modify their bodies for purely aesthetic reasons. Shows a predilection for intercine warfare that is used to jumpstart technological development.
We’re bloody Orks….
@warzan, of course you get the Rh-Blood type system in other species. At least in rhesus monkeys, where it first was discovered. Also, if I remember correctly from my biology classes twenty years ago, the Rh- mother / Rh+ child problems arise only during the second pregnancy with such a pair. In any case, the child is not killed as you suggested, but the mother receives treatment to cope with the antibodies produced. Finally, if you get a spike in giantism its just as likely to get a spike in Rh-, since you already explained that the gene pool is… Read more »
V. Interesting
I wonder if you find it in Pig’s and Chimpanzees 🙂
Happy Sunday, I am with Justin so that makes three of us apparently.
We could speed up the e-paper development with that money.
Well, as much as I conflate alien/reptilian/God blood with ‘crackpot ideas’, it at least encouraged me to do some researching. 🙂
Couldn’t find much in a 5 minute Google search, but

Don’t ever change guys, it’s far too entertaining for a Sunday morning 😀
Regarding rhesus negative. My wife is rhesus negative, I am rhesus positive. The baby ended up been rhesus positive so it’s not an alien baby. If there was a bleed between the baby in the womb and the mother then she would have made antibodies and in some cases this could lead to a miscarriage. On the first baby the the risk is not as high. It’s the second baby where the risk is higher because the antibodies have been established. (Only if it’s positive and not negative) The risks are not very high as there are an number of… Read more »
@dignity Beyond the simple survival reason, we are after all on a single rock one random catastrophe way from extinction, space exploration has delivered more technology to solve issues we have and make life better than you realise, here is a small list from NASA, but if you really look its just the tip of the iceberg, https://spinoff.nasa.gov/Spinoff2008/tech_benefits.html . All there technologies come from solving issues we face from going to space and more will be found and more solutions will be created that will inevitably be brought back on the global population. @warzan It is a countries responsibility, yes,… Read more »
I’m quite pleased to hear about the Harry Potter miniatures game. My wife is absolutely HP obsessed with HP. She’s a big board gamer but I’ve never had any success in convincing her to try wargames.
When I showed her this, it piqued her interest and I think this will finally let me show her the awesomeness of wargaming.
I’ve already started looking at how to build a table for the game but I’m waiting to see what kind of game they go for. Obviously if it’s a boardgame, terrain is pointless…
