Is Biorhythm Science Still Relevant Today?

[Chi Meson]

Honestly, it seemed like such a obvious biological and logical fact.

My parents just moved (for the last time, likely) and among their things that I received is my father's "Biorhythm decision maker." It's a pretty thick booklet with a slide-rule type chart with plusses and "double-plusses." The thing has notes and underlines and numbers scrawled in margins.

We're talking about a guy who was captain of a nuke sub at the time! I'm a little perturbed that the cold war may have hung in the balance of a biorhythm decision maker! Double-plus ungood!

Didn't Nancy Regan consult an astrologer?

 

[Jimmy Snyder]

I'm sure it will come back into style someday. These things always do.

That's supposed to be a good thing? But yes, she did. And George W consulted a bottle every now and then.

not sure i understand the question. there certainly are biorhythms, every woman knows this. night and day, melatonin-driven rhythms. even some masculine rhythms. I'm sure there's some kooky stuff built up on it, but it's still there, and we haven't sorted it all out yet.

Apparently biorhythm calculators have gone high tech. According to this link all of my rhythmicals should peak about the 14 of Januarary.

His initials weren't D.R.O. were they?

Last time I remember a coincidence here at the forum, there was discussion of someone opening a bookstore, you mentioned Powell's Books, and I was sitting across the street at the moment.

hmmm... Didn't we just have an eclipse on a solstice the other day.

Isn't 2012 just 1 year and 3 days away?!

It's a planetary biorhythm I'm tellin' ya. It's planetary...

You're blowing my mind, Om...

You're blowing my mind, Om...

I would respond appropriately with a long winded response, but I've just been cut off.

as always, across the street from Powell's...
hmmm...
maybe it wasn't a biorythmic sign of the imminent collapse of the universe.
hmmm...
never mind

Ungood? Sounds like a rush to judgement. That book, for all we know, perhaps avoided a nuclear assured mutual distruction event. Your father may have received an order to attack, consulted his book and decided that would not be a good idea. Hours later, saner minds prevailed and the attack, which fortunately never even started, was called off. Naturally, details surrounding this are highly classified, but someday we might learn the facts, and that book will be priceless!

hmmm... my physical wave is rock bottom today, and intellectual wave is at the top. Seems to match. I am sick with a cold but have been studying all day.

 

[Ivan Seeking]

Funny, recently I found a biorhythm chart that a girlfriend did for me about thirty years ago.

I found her photos too, but we won't tell Tsu about that one.

 

[mugaliens]

I love one of the comments from the link: "This is actual and I can reily on it."

The only Reily I've known was a white standard poodle. Hyperactive, at his best.

Now, with no chance of misinterpretation, you'll be able to do your own and other people's biorhythms quickly and easily. In a very short time, you'll be so expert people will be asking you to interpret their biorhythm charts. ... You can use it to make the most of people's good or bad day's. Like picking someone who will be having a good day to be on your side of an argument, or to represent you, or to make a presentation, or to pull a heist, or to drive your kids to school or not drive the kids to school (it pays to know other people's bad days too).

You might be onto something!

I've nothing against cycles in general, but these Biorhythm calculators (and they still exist in a hi-tech format) require that all people have exactly the same cycle periods, for all types of cycles, and they can't vary as you go through life, and all the clocks begin ticking the moment one emerges from the womb.

And they're based on vague properties that aren't the most objective things to measure: physical intellectual emotional.

My readings today are
-100% emotional
+100% intellectual
+ 50% physical

whatever that means

Hey, I had one of those things; a Christmas present. Apparently it had numerical stuff, like numbers on it, so I was well suited to have one.

Mine was round like a round slide rule.
