Random Thoughts or Whatever

They (whoever "they" are?) say that we have a duplicate (looks exactly like we [us] do) in this world. Twins disregarded.

Ain't that scary? :eek:

I had a firsthand experience on this. I was in vacation and saw a lady with her family in a restaurant. She looked like my mom who I knew was hundreds of miles away. I thought of going over to talk to her but was afraid to come across as a crazy person.
 
There are doubles, I have seen mine, and 20 plus years traveling and way over a million miles flying and too much time hanging in Airports I have seen many of people I know. These aren't just look like in some general term but actually exactly; like a friend from school who was losing most of his hair really young, glasses, very distinctive features sealed the deal for me in what I have been witnessing. Mark looked like no one, yet there he was in an airport.

Seeing my own took weeks to get over

Really?

Gotta wonder if then, if they were side-by-side...would your POV still be the same.

Guess with the body similar-types they use in movies...this must be kinda true; to a degree, nuff to fool Joe Public.

They looked like twins. Ex wife (we divorced years later) also said the lady looked just like Mom.

A case for aliens, NM/Spice ? ;) "The Body Snatchers" comes to mind...but they just borrowed, eh?

I don't know but reports from Solderiron and NH-MAN, like some reports of UFOS from individual police officers and military personal, pilots and traffic controllers, private individuals, too much credibility to dismiss. I've had a few over the top UFO,other worldly type experiences that have no natural explanation I could provide but have never seen a double, a near look alike but not an actual double. As NH-MAN said, that would take a while to get over.

In the case of The Body Snatchers I think they cloned then assimilated them. The exact double look alike though, that would be quite the experience, wonder how far the sameness extends, personality, other extensions of self. Fascinating.
 
One also must account for the sheer numbers of people I walked by or watched walk by over all that time from all over the Globe.

What I used to think was funny was the most beautiful woman of the year thing. There isn't a famous public celebrity past (ya all the famous ones too from 30's-60's) or present that can hold a candle to some woman I have seen just probably off to a meeting or visit family; it is quite a stunning experience when it happens.
 
I agree. What have they seen every woman in the world? I think the term "beautiful" gets thrown around too often. There are fewer truly beautiful people. These days even moderately good looking people get called beautiful.To me the scale goes:

1. attractive
2. very attractive
3. cute
4. pretty
5. beautiful

IMHO Most that are called beautiful fall under the very attractive to cute level. YMMV.

I'll agree with your scale, and will add that my standard for what qualifies as #5 starts at Audrey Hepburn / Grace Kelly type of beauty ;)

Soooo.... where does 'internal' fit onto your list?
 
Re: selling off vintage equipment, I would rather keep it around than sell it for a sum of money.

The equipment seems more real to me, the money an abstraction.

If the equipment has real value, it is just another form of wealth.

Depends on the degree of internal/personality. The truth is, although many would say it is cheesy, it is also true. Internal is the only kind that in the end matters the most. External does not last. External can also be cancelled out by a lack of internal or even internal ugliness (as opposed to blandness). I've know a few very externally attractive or even beautiful people who, because of internal blandness or ugliness, had any external looks cancelled out or turned into an ugly person I would find difficult to be around. Amber Heard anyone?
