News Briefs 31-01-2005

I hope you are all having a sneeze-less day …

  • Monkeys “pay” to see higher-ranking monkeys and female hindquarters. I wonder what the results would be if monkeys studied us?
  • Neanderthals were deeply emotional beings with high-pitched voices, and they may even have sung to each other. I guess you can call them the Queens of the Stone Age.
  • The case of the Pearl of Allah (which really belonged to Lao Tzu). All this story needs is TinTin.
  • Is there a conspiracy to kill microbiologists? Steve Quayle thinks there is.
  • The occult and politics; is there a conspiracy to murder those who get too close to the truth? Or is Peter Levenda trying to sell his latest book (Amazon US or UK)?
  • Charges have been dropped against an amateur astronomer who exposed a buried surveillance network surrounding Area 51.
  • Three French physicists claim to know how UFOs fly.
  • Dr Bruce Maccabee researches a 1950 UFO case.
  • The similarities of modern alien abductee accounts and medieval reports of demonic oppression. No wonder the Vatican has official UFO researchers.
  • The girl with x-ray eyes. Can the skeptics see through her?
  • Did a Taiwanese politician go on an astral tour of Paris? Coming soon to theatres near you, A Chinese Ghost Story in Paris.
  • NASA uses radar technology to locate previously unknown sites at Angkor. How will this effect the archaeostronomy of Angkor, as demonstrated by Graham Hancock in Heaven’s Mirror (Amazon US or UK)?
  • Was there prehistoric transpacific contact between Polynesia and the Americas?
  • Dr Mike Xu has collected impressive evidence linking Ancient China and the Maya/Olmec of Central America.
  • A 7000-year-old village has been unearthed in China.
  • Scientists think they’ve nailed the magnetic star mystery.
  • NASA’s Mars Rovers are covered in dust. I wish it were the Philip Pullman version of Dust.
  • Celebrating a century of Einstein.
  • A toxic chemical used to clean the hulls of boats and ships may be causing hearing loss in whales.

Quote of the Day:

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I’m not sure about the former.

Albert Einstein

  1. Queens of the Stone Age
    Hi RICO,

    >>Queens of the Stone Age

    What? Are you recommending them? Have they improved? I’m convinced they only knew 2 cords when they recorded Songs For The Deaf, so they couldn’t even change keys — the whole way through. Alice In Chains is so much better – try Dirt. Or Audioslave. Or as Greg says, Tool.

    And…
    Sneeze free? I wish! Watch for Kimberly-Clark’s stock to rise soon ’cause I’ve been buying kleenex by the case, and I’m not the only one. Must be all those industrial-strength air pollutants coming from China.

    Thanks for the great news list,
    Kat

      I knew I should have added a disclaimer — now people think I’ve got bad taste in music! I mentioned Queens of the Stone Age because I was trying to be witty like Greg is when he does the news, but there can be only one. I’m more of a U2/Loreena McKennitt/Tori Amos/Coldplay person. Next time, I’ll leave the comedy to the masters. 😉

      Try living in Melbourne when there’s a northerly wind blowing — it’s amazing I can sneeze so much gunk, I swear some of it must be brain matter. Ah well, that’ll make more room to put TDG stuff in.

      Cheers,

      Rick

      p.s. Have you thought about updating Shelley’s Frankenstein with your cloned-child plot idea? Write write write!

      1. Please
        Hey Rick,

        No, no. Pimp the QOTSA…Songs for the Deaf roxxors. Helps to have Dave Grohl busting out the mad beats on drums though…
        😉

        Peace and Respect
        Greg
