(CNN.com): John Kohl of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics: “I have not seen anything like it in my entire career as a solar physicist. The probability of this happening is so low that it is a statistical anomaly.”
I smell my tinfoil hat burning. Yikes. All this, and the contrails are going nuts, too.
I googled a little to see if anyone else has brought this up, but I couldn’t find anything. You know all those seemingly random characters in the subject lines of spam mesages? What if they are some kind of numbered code being sent out by networks of spies? This would be similar to the old shortwave radio numbers mystery (SpyNumbers.com), in which somebody reads seemingly random numbers for hours at a time. Many assume this to be a cold war technique for sending secret messages.
This would be an ingenious method of transmitting data. All you’d have to do was make sure your intended recipient(s) was on the list. So there. Now the government has an obligation, nay, a duty to stop this scourge. Spam=terror. Can you say Patriot Act III?
Not much in the blogging department since we bought SSX3 (IGN review). This is the third in the famous SSX snowboarding series, which is as good a reason as any to own a Playstation2. Pure fun. Also, it makes me want to go snowboarding again.
(Barna Research Online - via Drudge): Most Americans do not expect to experience Hell first-hand: just one-half of 1% expect to go to Hell upon their death. Nearly two-thirds of Americans (64%) believe they will go to Heaven. One in 20 adults (5%) claim they will come back as another life form, while the same proportion (5%) contend they will simply cease to exist.
My question is, among those people who actually believe in hell, who would expect to go there? I mean, except for this guy:
(CNN.com): Actor Jim Caviezel, who plays the son of God in Mel Gibson’s controversial film ‘The Passion of Christ’ has been struck by lightning during shooting.
(space.com):A strong dose of space weather is forecast to hit Earth Friday, potentially disrupting satellite communications and posing a threat to power grids on Earth.
I guess now would be a good time for me to test my new double-layered tinfoil hat.
I can taste a big difference in “enhanced” (pumped) meat and regular, butcher shop meat. Enhanced steaks and chops always taste boiled when I grill them, presumably because they contain all that extra “solution.” Most people probably don’t even realize they are paying extra for the water in their steaks.
For the purposes of this discussion, enhanced meat can be defined as fresh, whole muscle meat that has been injected with a solution of water and other ingredients that may include salt, phosphates, antioxidants, and flavorings. Regular meat can be defined as fresh, whole muscle meat that has not been injected or marinated (The Virtual Weber Bullet).
It seems odd to me that while “healthcare” costs continue to post double-digit increases each year, the only real cause for the increase is insurance costs. Yep, increases in malpractice insurace drive up the cost of my coverage, because those doctors have to recoup their expenses from rising malpractice insurance, which drives up the cost of my coverage. Rinse. Repeat.
If this isn’t a scam, I don’t know what is. I blame the doctors. Seriously. They may able to conveniently look the other way because they can hide behind managed care, but the root of all this insurance evil lies squarely on the shoulders of the caregivers. We don’t like to think of physicians as an immoral lot, but you only have to look at the boards of these HMOs (doctors) and the way they shameless whore for the drug companies to see how our healthcare system is putrifying.
Maybe the reason doctors are getting sued so much is they are prescribing drugs and treatments based on who gives them the nicest golf bag.
