  1. 23, 58, and a sheep in wolf’s clothing
    Interesting news today, I was thinking about a parallel dimension when I began reading Dr. 58.

    Sheeple bug me, as a store clerk I see them all the time. In the end the knowledge humans fear and the creatures (and teachers) who hold it will undo them. The sheeple that bug me the most are as follows: the people who think they are a celebrity and dress like them; the stubborn jackasses (no offense to the wise donkey) who don’t except blame or common sense for anything even when the gods are telling them they are wrong; and finally the people who eat up Dan Brown fiction like it were god damn M&Ms. Not that I don’t agree with some conspiracies, but most people have taken it so out of context that prejudice and hatred are being bred in the flock to the point of revolution. Now I must say that Brown doesn’t believe all that he writes, but to breed the thought in a person’s mind, we should tread lightly.

    “In order to form a more immaculate member of a flock of sheep, one must at first, be a sheep.” – Einstein

  2. Pew Pew! 50 years of real-life ray guns

    Oh, don’t worry. It only looks like a giant death ray. In reality, the Air Force is just trying to take some good pictures with its Starfire Optical Range. (Later on, they’ll get to the satellite-blasting energy weapon.)

    Hot and cold pockets of air change the speed of light as it moves through the atmosphere. That makes stars appear to twinkle and creates a major challenge for researchers trying to get a clear view of objects in space. Starfire’s answer: Shoot a laser 56 miles into the mesosphere and measure the distortion. Then adjust the laser’s mirrors until the beam is back in focus. Whatever optical tweaks correct the beam will also focus a telescope.

    Ah. what Wired *fails* to mention re. the Starfire Optical Range facility is its location: Kirtland Air Force Base.

    Why do I mention this? Because it’s highly probable that this was one of the Super-classified military projects conducted on that facility, that the US government deemed so important as to justify making Paul Bennewitz crazy.

    If you want to know more, I suggest you read Greg Bishop’s Project Beta.

  3. Psychic minister

    During the ceremony, as the two walked down the aisle, I noticed a whiff of something unpleasant, an odor combining the smells of old pizza boxes, German sauerkraut and stale hamster food.

    Ok, so… that was coming from which exactly?
