News Briefs 28-04-2006

Kat’s a bit ill, so I finished off her half-done news. Consider it news by Grat…

Thanks Kat, hope you feel better soon.

Quote of the Day:

The cosmic ballet… goes on.

Leonard Nimoy (in ‘The Simpsons’)

    1. we need wisdom here!
      I was at a conferance yesterday afternoon. The speaker quoted Albert Eistein.
      “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting something differant.”
      When I hear someone quoting the Simpsons, I am always quick to point out that The Simpsons were good ten years ago. Sadly too.

      1. It’s wise to have fun!
        Humm, that quote may be from Einstein but it’s also pretty close to the AA definition of insanity – doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results.

        Yessss, Paul, we need wisdom, but we also need levity – and where better to insert a little than in the Quote of the Day?

        Oh, yeah – for anyone who’s interested, I survived. Out with the bad – so now in with the good sort of thing. 😉 (Gee, and I didn’t even eat any fast food.)

        1. from earth
          I claim that I am from earth, by my name.
          Did I say anything about human?

          But whatever I am, I stand by my claim that comet fragments hit the earth every day. Doesn’t matter what you say, or NASA says, or any of those majorly intelligent and/or literate humans.

          1. I Think That They Mean Large Comet Fragments, Very Large!

            We’re due for a collision sooner or later with a Near Earth Object or another object that intersects Earth’s orbit. Not, the extreme small pieces that occasionally don’t burn up in our atmosphere!

            What do you think?

          2. hi kennc…………………
            I don’t know if you read that article but…..I hope it’s wrong and in away hope it’s right…..might be the slap across the face of humanity needed to wake up and stop the arrogant, selfish, greedy attitude that dominates at this time.

            thats what I think!

          3. I Read It!

            I hope that you are right about the slap across the face for humanity! But, unfortunately, it may take more than a slap! Besides, I was just responding to earthling in a matter that would clarify the issue. I simply wanted to define things a little bit.

            What do you think?

          4. not if, not when, but both
            It happens in small ways every day, and it will happen in a big way within the next 10,000 years, very likely. In the next milion years, it is almost guaranteed.

            This is similar to the tsumanis, on a different scale. We dont know when it will happen, or how bad. But it will, and if you wait long enough it will be bad. Bad. BAD. Perhaps worse.

            So we should see if we could put up some defense. To study the matter is not expensive, so we should do it I think. We must do it.

            That is why we need space exploration, to take care of things “here on earth”.

            No ?

  1. Experts from Egypt
    Experts from Egypt are flying to Bosnia? Oh no, please no, please don’t let it be Zahi Hawass! Merciful Mother of God, nooooooooooooooooooooooo!

    Seriously, why Egypt? The Bosnian pyramid has more in common with the Aztec/Maya of Central America, Silsbury Hill of England, and the Pyramidal Mounds of China. They’re experts in Egyptology, not Pyramidology.

    1. i watered plants at CSIS office in the 90’s
      Kat,
      In the late 90’s I had a strange part time job- I watered plants in government buildings. One day my boss, an Iraqi born man with three university degrees, sent me to front street. He was a rather suspicious character, extremily secretive and evasive to questions. I went up the elevator, arrived at the 11th, or 12th floor, where I confronted a booth with a bullet-proof glass partition. I was asked to empty all the contents of my change into a metal container. I was searched and let in. A secretary, who will remain nameless, guided me to the janitorial room where I filled my jugs with water. She then accompanied me to every plant. I finally got to the head honcho’s office, the director of CSIS. He was in his early 60’s, balding, white haired, and a shifty eyed sort. I felt rather uncomfortable watering his plants and decided to engage him in conversation. I gestured at the view of his office.
      ————————
      ME
      Nice view, sir.
      ——————
      He looks up.
      ——————
      HIM
      If we we’re one floor up, we’d actually have a good view to the SkyDome and watch a Blue Jays game.
      —————–
      As I was still watering his plants, I felt inclined to continue the conversation. This is where I stuck my foot in my mouth.
      ——————
      ME
      Wouldn’t it be funny if there was a set of bugs in this plant and the person spying on us was electrocuted as we we’re talking just now.
      ————–
      The CSIS director looked at me long and hard. That was the last time I ever watered plants for the Canadian Spy Agency. My boss then punished me by making me taking care of the plants at the RCMP, Toronto Central Library, and the Bankruptcy offices, essentially the milk run of the plant watering business. That CSIS director never deserved to watch a Blue Jay’s game for free! That was my adventures in the CSIS offices. I am sure you all have yours but you are all sworn to secresy.

  2. Warning: paranormal experiences ahead
    Since Greg’s gotta pay for all this bandwidth somehow, I just clicked on one of TDG’s google ads – and was whisked away to higherbalance.com. The website says it offers ‘Multi-dimensional Meditation’ – but issues this Warning: Users report metaphysical / paranormal experiences within the first two weeks of application.

    There you go, Rico – you’ll be seeing those elusive gnomes within two weeks. 😉

    1. doomsday
      Hi Devil Dog,

      Well it depends DD whether you prefer to be ‘a fool’ waiting for a non event at the beach or on high-ground. Personally i would choose the latter.
      Nasa’s debunking is disengenous..they cant ring the alarm but they know fulwell that comets break up because these are made up of pieces of different densities that get dislodged when the glue..frozen ice is no longer capable of holding the comet together.

      Is it possible a 300 foot piece smashes into the atlantic around the 25th ? Sure. Is it likely ..not very. So the question arises do you want to survive the total destruction of your environment (incl friends and family) knowing you’ll be branded a fool beforehand, or do you want to go down together with them should this prediction come thru. Not an easy choice.
