News Briefs 15-05-2005

Can I come up with the goods after Kat’s monstrous news effort on Friday? I can dream.

Quote of the Day:

A room without books is like a body without a soul.

G.K.Chesterton

  1. Guardian journalism
    The Guardian uses one of these randomized article generating programs, fed with a collection of technical terms that it then assembles into paragraphs that seemingly make sense. You know, like the one those MIT students used to get their random paper published. Only the Guardian version is a little more advanced, as it was given to them by aliens under the influence of bad scotch.

    1. speaking of scotch 😉
      Greetings, earthling,

      Umm, was your mini-rant about The Guardian in reference to an article in today’s news? If so, which one, and what part of it did you disagree with?

      I’m always on the look-out for good newspapers. Is there one in Canada that you’re particularly fond of?

      And as long as I’m at it — There’s a rumor that we may soon hear news about a discovery of Chinese ruins somewhere up there. If it turns out to be true, and you’re anywhere near them, we’d all really appreciate you driving over to get a few photos for us. 😉

        It just seems the Guardian picks some stories for the sake of being unusual, as opposed to scientifically well-founded. So items from this source can certainly be entertaining, or thought provoking, but that’s about it for authority. Of course those who believe all scientists are just idiots may disagree.

        I haven’t heard of the chinese ruins. If they are found, it may not be very practical to just drive over, Canada is a little bigger than Australia, so if it’s in the wrong part it might be a week’s drive 🙂

        1. Oh God…
          “Oh God, you are so very big. So very, very huge.”
          Monty Python

          I’m well aware of how big Canada is — as wide as the US. I live in Denver, and from here, it takes 27 hours of hard driving to get back to Mississippi to see my mom. For that matter, the first hour of the drive is spent just getting out of Denver.

          I was mostly just teasing you. But you never know – if they turn up at all, they might be just around the corner from you, geographically speaking. 😉 Stranger things have happened.

  2. Terrific UFO stuff!
    Hey Rick, you did good on the UFO stuff.The story from Melbourne is sensational.Imagine a UFO forming shapes like diamonds and the Southern Cross.

    I like the pic from Texas.Anyone who doesn’t believe there is something strange out there now after all the great pics we are getting these days is either very naive or deliberately stupid.

    About Bob Lazar…well I have been trying to make up my mind about him for years.
    I have read some very negative stuff on him and just cannot make up my mind.
    Can someone help me with more info?

    Rick, when are you going to post that blog about your UFO sighting?
    Soon, I hope.

    Thanks again for your hard work.

    1. Sorry I must be Mr. Negative
      Sorry I must be Mr. Negative at the moment. I am not sure about the UFO’s. I would be more inclined to think that they were hot air balloons. I have seen quite a few over here and they do seem to make wierd patterns. I watched one for over half an hour one night and all you see is a bright orange glow and the wind patters make them seem to dart back and forth at either fast or slow speeds. They are facinating to watch and I could see that they would be easy to mistake for UFO’s.They are quite easy to make and usually done by people who want to play tricks.
