News Briefs 11-08-2005

This is the fifth day since landfall on this planet. We continue to maintain the ship in cloaked-status. Two explorer-units have been deployed for surface investigations, and both report that the most dominant species tastes just like frujeletybird. Ha Ha (:). The herd needs thinning, praise Thrilton.
We have discovered yet another herd-media called the Internet. Content on this media is extremely diverse and confusing. We include here what appears to be a regularly-updated log of something particularly disturbing and peculiar called The Daily Grail news. Please advise ……….

  • ‘Our museums have been nothing but storage sites, where antiquities are just crumbled over one another,’ said Zahi Hawass, the head of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities.
  • Iran on Monday defied European and American threats and resumed uranium processing. Let the UN handle it – they did so well in North Korea.
  • Using millimeter-wave technology and other cutting-edge tools, security professionals can literally see through clothes to spot anything that could be potentially dangerous. I knew those glasses worked.

  • Ball lightning – what is it, have you seen it, and do you want to learn how to make it in your microwave?

  • What’s it like inside the Raelian UFO-cult? Join Abdullah Hashem as he is recruited and we’ll find out.

  • Mt. Shasta is a spiritual mountain for the Wintu tribe, and to the faithful it’s one of the world’s seven sacred New Age summits, the home of transdimensional doorways and intergalactic star gates. Spend a little time at Shasta with Angels, ETs, beings of the elements, the ‘wee’ people—gnomes, fairies, and leprechauns—who through our own discord we have forced to hide underground. Peace out with the rock people and the rose people with the Oneness of Being.

Quote of the Day


Things like ships were seen in the sky over Italy….. At Arpi [in Italy] a round shield was seen in the sky…. At Capua, the sky was all on fire, and one saw figures like ships….

Julius Obsequens in Prodigorium liber (216BC)
William Bramley, in The Gods of Eden

  1. What have they done to you Billy?
    Ah Bill, you were such a nice young lad before the goons got to you.Either that or its something in the Texas water.
    Nope, in your case I think it is the men in black.

    As I grow older I notice that my hair is fading to red.Does that mean that I have a greater tolerance for pain? And I am very fair skinned.
    God I hope not.That means that the dentist could pull my teeth out willy nilly and he could tell me not to worry as I have red hair.
    I wish science would mind its own business sometimes.

    The dragon photo is spectacular.Can anyone explain it?

    I must admit that I have been hanging out for an alien abduction for some time now and the little fellows just won’t oblige.
    I leave my telescope out at night to hint that I am here and I am interested in them.I wonder what’s wrong with me that they don’t come here, maybe they don’t like blond hair fading to red.

    Now Bill, you know that I worry about you so try and keep out of trouble.I worry when you write stuff like that in the intro.It reminds me of someone else I know.
    I would like to comment on more of the news but I am still coughing and sneezing and spluttering and wheezing so I will put this poor body to bed.

    Thanks for the news.Some great stories as usual.

  2. Redheads & pain
    Sometimes I wonder about the conclusions that scientists come to – no, not sometimes but often.

    I am a redhead, and I can assure you that I feel pain greatly (my husband always said I was the world’s greatest wimp.)

    In their tests that they carried out which caused these scientists to reach this wondrous conclusion (that redheads don’t feel pain very much), did it ever occur to them that perhaps redheads are more sensitive to the effects of anaesthetics that either blondes or brunettes? No, of course it didn’t. But wouldn’t that, perhaps be an equally valid conclusion? They make me spew.

    Regards, Kathrinn.

  3. Egyptiam Museums are storage sites
    “Our museums have been nothing but storage sites, where antiquities are just crumbled over one another,” said Zahi Hawass, the head of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities. “It was so depressing, but things are changing now.”

    Things are changing. If Z gets his way, items such as the bust of Nefertiti will be removed from an A grade facility outside Egypt and dumped in the strorage site with everything else so that they can all crumble together!

    What a great advancement for world history!
