If those pictures are physical photographs, the matter in those photographs, on an atomic level, could convert to enough energy to wipe out a city. Of course the same would be true whether it’s a photo of your brother or of a dog turd. ---

> [@dervesh](#): > > Margonstern,czarcasm, and others of the sort …yeah im a lawyer …-) Really… and yes i have dowsed with some noticeable results you cant disprove so … As you would know, evidence that is only enough to convince yourself isn’t worth anything except to you. And if you are the only person you are wishing to convince, posting about it here is a waste of time. ---

Is that all you’re going to do in this thread- tell _stories_ and dismiss everyone who objects to them or asks for evidence?
