The War Of The Moral Compass And the Golden Compass

Why does this thing I read in Snopes demand to be put up? It doesn’t surprise me, not in the least, but every time the logical part of me says it doesn’t need to be talked about, another part of me screams that it does. There’s apparently a movie coming out in December called the …

Which Is Worse? Plane Crashes Or Confidence Crashes?

Ok, let me get this straight. NASA is commissioned to do a survey about air-travel safety. They survey 24000 pilots over 4 years. they find out that incidents of near collisions and runway interference is much higher than government statistics, so…they decide to withhold the results and purge them? Apparently, they just don’t want us …

>Clearing the Backblog

>Hope you folks like these random posts, because with all that time I didn’t write, I’ve created quite a, well, thought backblog. I’m sure I’ll be able to write something more focused soon.

So Who’s Flinging the Bullshit?

I got an email the other day filled with rage at a couple of TV talkshow hosts.

They were bashing the ADA …

Things That Never Happened On Star Trek

This was emailed to me yesterday and I thought it was pretty funny. I’m not a big Star Trek fan myself, but I know a lot of people who are and judging from what I’ve seen and heard of the show through them, this seems pretty well accurate to me. *Things That Never Happened On …

Ok, here we go. *In some news I’m very happy to hear, the British government isconsidering giving police the …

Blinded Me with Science

Ok, this is just stupid. A 15-year-old boy apparently learned how to make a home-made bomb out of caustic soda and other common products from a children’s television science show, although that is under dispute, because the show’s producers can’t find record of that exact experiment. His plan of impressing all of his friends went …

World’s Worst Drivers is the World’s Funniest Show.

Well, maybe not, but it’s pretty damn funny. If you ever get the chance to watch the show World’s Worst Drivers, do it! It’s not just that the horrid driving stunts that are captured on video are utterly hillarious. It’s not just that the guy doing the narrating is able to keep cracking me up …
