The Chocolate history
When Columbus and Cortes returned to Spain the bitter cacao drink of the Aztec culture was introduced to Europe and there it was sweetened to make it more in tune to the European tastes. It became a drink of the elite and wealthy. Within ten years, chocolate was enjoyed throughout the courts in the French aristocracy. Chocolate became known throughout the countries of Europe and in the middle of the 17th century chocolate appeared in England. There it was highly taxed continuing its reputation as a luxury to be enjoyed only by those privileged enough to afford it.Cacao was primarily only for drinking until 1828. Chocolate was prepared as a drink by grinding up the beans into a thin paste and adding spices and sweetening and then adding something to soak up the cocoa butter, which would float to the surface.Coenraad J. Van Houten, a Dutch chemist in that year invented a press which would release the cocoa butter from the bean, leaving the dryer cake that could be ground up into a powder similar to the fat-free cocoa powder we enjoy today.Twenty years later European companies used the presses made by Van Houten to produce the first eating chocolate. By taking what was left after separating the cocoa powder from the butter, the industry saw that they could melt the cocoa butter and combine it with a blend of ground cacao beans and sugar, mix this into a paste and mold it. Edible chocolate was the final product. Chocolate appeared on the market in the United States around the turn of the twentieth century and now nearly one hundred years later is still in harmony with all who love it's unique, rich taste.

Cloning Christ ?
In an apparent bid to see how blasphemous science can get, researchers are delving into theories of whether religious artifacts that are supposed to be linked to Jesus can be used to clone Christ. The Shroud of Turin, for example, if it is actually the burial cloth of Jesus, might contain enough blood stains to capture the actual DNA of Jesus Christ. This DNA could be used to create a clone of what many believe, depending on their religious affiliation, to be the Son of God. Already attempts to clone animals have been successful in the lab, with the famous "Dolly" the sheep becoming the first absolute clone in the 1990s. Human cloning is expected to become a reality as well in the coming decades. Throw all of this together and you have a real dilema if you switch from science to theorizing about religious prophecy. Say the Shroud of Turin really is the burial cloth of Jesus, and that the DNA can be extracted, and that the DNA leads to an exact clone of Christ. Would this fulfill the prophecy of Christ's return? And then we can dig out other artifacts of other Gods and Saints from different countries !! Yeah...bringon the good guys back.......

Worth a thought
I came across this writeup somewhere on the net...
The material prosperity that envelops us is the consequence of application of our scientific knowledge to our lives. The automobiles, dishwashers, super computers, space shuttles, etc could be invented because their inventors and contributors had ideas about it. Thus everything is created out of nothingness or say impulses of energy. The most real yet enchanting example of manmade creation is Microsoft, the brainchild of Bill Gates. The operating system “Windows” is predominantly used in the world. Bill Gates was not born with the thought of Windows or other software and present it to the world at a specific age. The ideas and thoughts were his self-generated. Once Bill Gates’ mother asked him, “What are you doing Bill?”. To which he replied, “I am thinking, mother.” The result of his thinking is above the call of recognition. This only corroborates the truth that the tiny electrical nerve signals CAN CREATE a magical world around us, otherwise how could a monitor, a keyboard and a MSN, come from nowhere?
(We need to thank someone...in fact thank so many )
We are nothing but the Product of Our Thoughts...We become what we THINK !

"We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to
count, without which no worthwhile scientific
discovery could have been made."
~Albert Einstein
"After the conversations about Indian philosophy, some of the ideas of Quantum Physics that had seemed so crazy suddenly made much more sense".
~W. Heisenberg (German Physicist, 1901-1976)
The Vedanta and the Sankhya hold the key to the laws of mind and thought process which are co-related to the Quantum Field, i.e. the operation and distribution of particles at atomic and molecular levels."
Prof. Brian David Josephson (1940 - ) Welsh physicist, the youngest Nobel Laureate
The marvel of the Bhagavad-Gita is its truly beautiful revelation of life's wisdom which enables philosophy to blossom into religion."
