News Briefs 09-04-2009

Take this and read, this is my News Brief which is given for you 🙂

  • Burn Judas, BURN!!
  • Mecca mosques “wrongly aligned”! How do you say ‘D’ouh!’ in Arabic?
  • Schizophrenic people aren’t fooled by the ‘hollow mask’ illusion. So that means we are sane… because we don’t perceive the world like it actually is? @_@
  • After decades of—fruitlessly—denying the existence of Area 51, five former employees speak out. Michael Salla comments about it.
  • [UPDATE]: The two Jersey heroes who staged that UFO hoax we’ve been discussing have moved to more down-to-earth pursuits.
  • Doctor Who may be behind the rise of UFO sightings in Wales, according to an ‘expert’. If the witnesses had been reporting flying Tardises, that mockery of a theory might be worth considering >_>
  • Astronaut class of 2009 has no spaceship. they did pick a prom queen & king, though.
  • Moon Tech takes a giant leap. Wow! And it only took 40 years to exceed Apollo.

  • Can brown fat make you thin? And put that carton of chocolate ice cream down, ’cause that ain’t it.
  • Australian castaway dog survives life on remote island. The dog had a bone named Wilson.
  • Chimps swap food for sex. I’d never pictured our cousins wearing platform shoes and big hats with feathers… Oh, wait! wrong species 😛
  • The Queen of the Fortean Blogosphere, Regan Lee, blasts a bright idea to cull seals to stop them eating salmon that’s being eaten by humans.
  • The Big Picture takes you to Alaska’s erupting volcano, Mount Redoubt. This is amazing—don’t you doubt it.
  • Exhibit (B) of why GM doesn’t deserve any bail-out money.
  • Chinese scientists make breaktrough in the production of cheap & efficient white LED lights.
  • All that time & effort in trying to get poor Gary, while the US relents the protection of their electric grid from Chinese hackers :-/
  • Memo to my American friends. It IS possible.
  • Video: The recent tragedy in Italy gives us a slight perspective of what it would be like to live in Gaza.
  • Second postmortem ordered on G20 victim, after the London police was caught LYING about his death —Big Brother works both ways beyatches!

  • “Slytherin Slytherin, whatcha gonna do… whatchagonna do when they come for you?”

Thanks to Kat, Greg & Rick —who wouldn’t hesitate in trying the malt wine 😉

  1. PUMA
    GM, unsatisfied with laying off tens of thousands of Americans, turns their eye toward downsizing rikshawala. What’s wrong with making a few rupees hauling people around? Sheesh!

  2. Lies about Area 51
    These don’t come from the government. It does not deny the existence of Area 51 at Groom Lake and never has. It tends to “not confirm or deny” because it tends to ignore. The question is repeated far too often by those who claim to seek truth but refuse to believe it, so you can hardly blame them. It no more denies Area 51 than it does Area 52 or Plant 42 (Groom Lake, Tonopa, and Mojave respectively), or any of the other research facilities or testing ranges. Google maps of these areas are prominently labeled with the area number, no “blurring out” of details. Whether by ignorance or design, the LA Times parrots the eyes wide shut conspiracy hobbyist party line: “There Is No Area 51”.

    As for the second article quoted in the relevant news brief, it so is hardly news that 5 ex-military have ‘come forward’ to admit they worked on the now entirely defunct A-12/D-21 Archangel and SR-71 Blackbird family that it begs credulity that anyone would bother to mention it. If one of them would care to comment on who it was that owned the Blackbird with two LOX tanks instead of one (the usual one rear of the crew cabin for crew breathing; the unusual one underneath and midway back along wing root for engine oxidizer, for much higher and faster flights) then we might have something worth reporting.

    Of course, if any of them did state who owned that plane, I’d want to know what the tail number was. I’ll never forget the tail number after having to fill two instead of the documented and expected one LOX tank, at a northern tier SAC base in the 70s. That question would separate the truth from the lies. I’m fairly certain the color of the crew’s flight suits for that bird would explain a fair amount also. No, sorry, I’m not spilling this one, though saying the two-LOX-tanked bird existed would have been a security breach at one time. I’m saving the details to either corroborate or debunk any announcement regarding that bird, its mission or its capabilities.

    No, I am not the brain specialist…..
    YES. Yes I AM the brain specialist.

    1. SR-71
      Jeez, DynaSoar, now I wonder if you took your handle from the old lifting body spacecraft.

      Anyway, I had the privelage of breaking bread with one of the old hands in the SR-71 fleet. He is retired up here in the Pacific Northwest. He had some awesome stories he was now allowed to tell. I may have written here about some of that. In particular, the ‘motherships’ they created by dumping fuel at 80K ft.

      Cheers,
