Is human dna therefore extra special? With reasonable imagination one can claim that the chemical reactions in the brain that produce our emotions originated from the force of the Big Bang. If we probe the universe with signals in order to find exraterrestial intelligence and found something it would probably come from a 4 limbed bipedial creature. If we don't find anything it is either because we are searching inaccurately back into time or because we are the first to search the universe we live in since the time of the Big Bang.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8733487243911815461-4494270745055127022?l=merijnvandenende.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Merijn van den Endenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8733487243911815461.post-35569013039911224682008-01-01T19:22:00.001-08:002008-01-01T19:29:24.374-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_6orSatTuklA/R3sEoaFsCrI/AAAAAAAAAEI/gTmOTCaMpLQ/s1600-h/lliberian_sea2.gif"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_6orSatTuklA/R3sEoaFsCrI/AAAAAAAAAEI/gTmOTCaMpLQ/s400/lliberian_sea2.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5150715691072752306" border="0" /></a>new painting<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8733487243911815461-3556901303991122468?l=merijnvandenende.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Merijn van den Endenoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8733487243911815461.post-17264387745418769342007-12-20T04:43:00.000-08:002007-12-20T05:04:34.001-08:00Holbein was born in southern Germany (Augustburg). The Mauritz Huis in Den Haag has some of his paintings.

Vermeer may have used one for his paintings, many art experts say he did. Ter Borch's painting style is extraordinary in its realism, ecspecially the satin dresses Ter Borch painted.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8733487243911815461-2878224902348816484?l=merijnvandenende.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Merijn van den Endenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8733487243911815461.post-70122594649345044952007-10-26T07:45:00.000-07:002007-10-26T07:46:35.425-07:00If you want to see paintings of waves go to <a href="http://www.maradesign.com/">www.maradesign.com</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8733487243911815461-7012259464934504495?l=merijnvandenende.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Merijn van den Endenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8733487243911815461.post-37817536599747996402007-10-26T07:42:00.000-07:002007-12-20T05:27:42.457-08:00If you want to see my paintings of seascapes and waves go to the website <a href="http://www.maradesign.com/">http://www.maradesign.com/</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8733487243911815461-3781753659974799640?l=merijnvandenende.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Merijn van den Endenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8733487243911815461.post-1236504977911584042007-10-21T14:01:00.000-07:002007-12-20T05:08:07.173-08:00<div class="widget-content">Today (saturday) I went to the Maurits Huis in Den Haag. The month October is halfway over and its getting pretty cold . The Mauritz Huis collection is reknown, many famous painters (Rembrant, Vermeer, Holbein you name it). Recently it has dawned on me that Ter Borch is one of Holland's best painters and I was glad they had 3 of his paintings there. There were many tourist who came to see Vermeer's the Girl with the Pearl Ear Ring. </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8733487243911815461-123650497791158404?l=merijnvandenende.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Merijn van den Endenoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8733487243911815461.post-51366061653165476042007-10-05T01:51:00.000-07:002007-10-05T01:52:37.397-07:00nice lion!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8733487243911815461-5136606165316547604?l=merijnvandenende.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Merijn van den Endenoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8733487243911815461.post-1711735747762220492007-10-02T21:34:00.000-07:002007-10-02T21:48:44.623-07:00<a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_6orSatTuklA/RwMfJ3bJKoI/AAAAAAAAACU/LKltZchJOys/s1600-h/merijn_lion.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5116967855980096130" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_6orSatTuklA/RwMfJ3bJKoI/AAAAAAAAACU/LKltZchJOys/s400/merijn_lion.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_6orSatTuklA/RwMd_HbJKmI/AAAAAAAAACA/GqwpEckunAg/s1600-h/merijn_lion.jpg"></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><br /><div><a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_6orSatTuklA/RwMcEXbJKlI/AAAAAAAAAB4/Q3QxNkWnKgY/s1600-h/merijn_lion.jpg"></a><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8733487243911815461-171173574776222049?l=merijnvandenende.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Merijn van den Endenoreply@blogger.com2
