Tolkein's house is virtually the same as it was when he wrote the Rings. I just wonder if anyone has checked for Golem in the basement?

Town to officially pardon witches

2004-10-29T11:49:00.000-07:00

Only 81 pardons are being given out of 3500 deaths of women, children and cats. Now what I want to know is, what about the others? Were they actually witches with evil offspring and familiars? Or will we see pardons for these as well? I'm sure the descendants of said cats will appreciate this. Click on the title to read the story.

Teaching Liberalism by breaking the Law

2004-09-28T16:52:00.000-07:00

A Harvard professor has admitted plagiarism. On the other side, the innocent author who had his work stolen from by Tribe, was quoted saying "I'm sure his book sold better than mine" adding that "he's a big mahatma and thinks he can get away with this sort of thing."

You're too smelly to talk on my phone!

2004-09-23T11:56:00.000-07:00

A new phone to detect smells is coming. I wonder if it will let you know when you need a bath or a breath mint?

People..why do you do these things?

I know, I know. George can do what he pleases with his movies. But some of us are purists and want an untouched version as well. It would be nice if the old and the new ended up on the DVD set.

Kirk, give us the Genesis device!

2004-09-10T18:51:00.000-07:00

Looks like a faulty battery was to blame for Genesis' near fatal crash. I wonder if Nasa used the same battery manufacturer that Apple had used on their first generation of iPods? Read below to learn more:

IF YOU DON"T LIKE IT, GET OUT

France's ban on head scarves in the classroom has stirred up Muslims everywhere. But, hey, 1. it's not their country to begin with, 2. all the latest terror activity has been spawning out their belief system, and 3. they are wanting freedom of only their religion. Here in the U.S. you can wear head scarves, crosses, star of Davids, and whatever else if it doesn't disrupt the classroom. But the times are a changing and Muslims keep bringing more hatred toward them by their own actions and admissions.

MEDICAL MIRACLES? OR JUST PLAIN FREAKISH?

2004-08-27T16:14:00.000-07:00

First, there was the human ear grown on the back of a mouse for people born without the ear and cartilage. Now, it seems, that we can just grow any bone for corrective surgery. When are we going to clone ourselves for body parts? I need a new pancreas, but we have forbidden the cloning of humans. I don't want another me. Just an extra chassis for spare parts.

THE BEAR FACTS

2004-08-20T07:37:00.000-07:00

I was impressed how even animals prefer local spirits over mass market ones. Take the story of the bear who guzzled down 36 beers of the preferred local brew. I especially enjoyed reading that they caught him with beer and doughnuts. It just goes to show there are many different ways to show your pride. To quote a surf band from the 80's-- "locals only"

HEY NBC!!! WHY NOT SHOW SOMETHING ELSE?

2004-08-16T23:20:00.000-07:00

Are you like me in that you tire easily of the same crap that NBC wants you to see at the Olympics? Now with more channels on cable that they own, you would think that we could see more of the sports that, in the past, NBC has refused to air. Fencing, for one, is a sport that really interests me. But, alas, we only get a snippet here or there. Or, we get to see the men's sabre final only because of the new wireless technology. What about the American team? Why not show their stories and build up a following of a sport that was one of the original Olympic sports? Even after the blunder of 1984, when the first American to ever win a medal in fencing was shrugged, and after the countless signatures on petitions signed begging NBC to show some fencing, they still refuse to do it any justice, and only want to show the same thing year afer year after year. Imagine if Disney had the contract? With ABC, ESPN, and all the other channels they own, what would the result be? One could only wonder. Below is a link to find out what happened earlier.

ALIEN VS. PREDATOR

2004-08-16T08:52:00.000-07:00

Ok. Combining franchises didn't work with Freddie and Jason, so why should this work too? I like the premise, but there needs to be an human vs. human interaction. I propose that they use Aaahnold and Sigourney to battle it out.

Olympics

2004-08-15T21:15:00.000-07:00

Hearing the Olympic theme has brought back memories of a bygone era. No, I'm not talking about the achievements of past great atheletes. I'm referring to an event in time that only a few of us were a part of. It was high school band from 1979 thru 1982. We used to play the Olympic theme at football games. One person would sport a trumpet with a blue plastic football in the bell held up as a flame while climbing the steps of bleachers to an awaiting cymbal (symbolic of the ever burning torch of the games). Five band members (usually woodwind players, why? I don't know) would form the interlocking rings and sway back and forth to the music. This display kind of just happened spur of the moment, but the band director let us do this at many games. Usually, this was followed by the drum solo-- featuring the band spaz.
