The End of the World!!!

Well.. at least according to the Weekly World News..by way of Yahoo.

It seems NASA has discovered a planet devouring cloud of Dust… and its headed right for us!

My favorite quote from the article:

“The good news is that this finding confirms several cutting- edge ideas in theoretical physics,” announced Dr. Albert Sherwinski, a Cambridge based astrophysicist with close ties to NASA.

“The bad news is that the total annihilation of our solar system is imminent.”

and if you’re curious.. apparently our imminent destruction is less then 10 years away.. the giant, planet eating dust cloud is scheduled to devour us on June 1, 2014 at 9:15 Eastern Time. Start planning your end of the world parties now.. rack up those credit card bills.. after all..they can’t collect from you if the whole planet is dissolved!

Script Writer?

If any of you have ever wanted to write a Star Wars movie… or write anything thats officially sanctioned in the Star Wars universe, now’s your chance!

According to IGNFilmforce the great one is starting to look for screen writers for the planned Star Wars TV series. So if you’ve got an agent..make sure they contact George..if you don’t have an agent.. send him an email or something!

Huh?

Proof that people will buy anything:

Popgadget: Personal Tech for Women:

The bed linen come with a battery-powered device that reproduces relaxing sounds like the wind in the forest, bird singing, etc. For example, if you buy the dolphin model, you get the sound of the sea.

Apparently, having to reach over and turn the radio/tv/iPod/white noise thingy, or whatever on is to much work..so now you can just have your sheets make noise..

(insert obvious joke, about farting in bed to get the ‘wind in the forest’ sound here)

Its still a quirky show..but it grows on you… I think I’ll be adding the DVD set to my Christmas/Hannukah list this year…its worth having..

Firefly

2 Comments

The other day, some people at work were talking about Firefly. I mentioned that I hadn’t seen it yet, and was immediately shunned… well. .ok.. maybe not. But I was told to watch it. and since I have Netflix, I went home, and added the complete series to my rental queue (this is not like adding in M*A*S*H, or Stargate, or NYPD Blue) there are only 14 episodes in the whole series, which is 4 DVDs.. I just finished the first disc.. which had the first 3 episodes on it.

Send yourself to Pluto!

Or.. send your name at least. Since I don’t think there’s really room for all of you to squeeze onto the probe.

At this point, you’re probably asking yourself, “Self, what the hell is he talking about?”

NASA is going to be launching a probe early next year that is going to go check out Pluto and the Kuiper Belt (an Asteroid belt just past Pluto).. and the company that is actually building the probe, is letting people sign up to have their names sent to Pluto (presumably on a CD or something like that). And, if you feel like hanging around.. the probe’s orbit will cause it to return to Earth (or, near Earth) in only 50,000 years..

Go, sign up.. what’s the worst that could happen? Plutonians think we’re attacking and come kick the ass of everyone on the list?

Everyone’s got one

There’s one in every neighborhood… luckily, I haven’t met the one in mine yet.. although, I’m sure there’s one here somewhere.. My favorite part of the article:

“They’ve called on numerous neighbors to the Children’s Hotline, saying they’re abusing their kids, their kids run free in the neighborhood,” said neighbor Sarah Kozlowski. “It’s sad, you know, you have to watch over your back, you shouldn’t have to.”

Lesiak’s main targets were her next-door neighbors, Jason and Mary Ellen Ottinger.

The charges she made against them ranged from trespassing, to child abuse, to “engaging in unnatural acts with their animals.”

Complaining because kids run free in the neighborhood? Ummm.. she was expecting them to be on a leash or something? Sure… kids can be loud, messy, and.. kids.. but to report them as engaging in unnatural acts? Probably a bit excessive..

And to think, this nice lady only has 79 complaints filed against her neighbors
