Bob Woodward has complained that being seated next to Al Gore during a dinner party was a "Taxing" Experience. I think Bob is being a bit too hard on Mr. Gore, after all, Al's been under a dark acid rain cloud for many years now.  Consider Al's brain as a ticking time bomb as he contemplates and calculates how many pounds of chlorofluorocarbons his freezer, refrigerator, ice machine, wine cooler, air conditioner, and ice cream maker produce every day! Those figures don't even include his propane grill or dryer, nor his hot tub, heated water bed , or the space heaters strewn about his various homes. (He has three)  Al's brain can barely keep up with the strain.  I haven't even mentioned his incalculable carbon footprint for his numerous public appearances. News articles have said that Al is becoming more difficult to be around but that's because in Al's world, the sky is falling and it's falling in big invisible chunks. One of two things will have to happen, either Al will go crazy from the stress and anxiety of trying to save the planet alone with 6 billion uncooperative people or he will have to let go and let God be in charge.  The lesson here? At this point, only God can still enjoy the company of Al Gore.

Plan 9 from Outer Space (1959)

Plan 9 is so crappy it goes back around to awesome.
It should be in the awesome category!

Congratulations to our daughter Sarah !! She has been promoted at work.

Sarah will be extracting drugs from hair samples.

Our daughter Maria's favorite song.

I noticed the absence of light from a view master projector. I'm sure it was just an oversight.

The mystery of the Alaskan goo is solved and shooting at it doesn't help.

Everything will be okay because it looks like taffy before it's been pulled. Someone needs to send somebody in to taste it. Hey, send in a kid they will eat anything and a little slime with cooties wont bother them at all.

I hate the telephone with a passion.

I loved this video because it makes me think about how cool God is, but I have seen this video several times, and I just don't understand science.

Two mice are missing from a New Jersey Lab , and they took "The Plague" with 'em.

And they went on , and on saying something about trying to taking over the world.

Hey, lab people this is only funny in the cartoon world.

Poor Mr.Gore, he looks so troubled - over on "Drudge"

Dear Mr.Gore, Your looking so stressed. Everything is gonna be alright. Just breath. I am trying to do my part.
Did you know that I live in an earth contact home? (it doesn't look like a German Bunker either! ) My electric bill for the month of November was $150.00 almost exactly, and my home is all electric. I have 10 people in my family with 8 still living at home.
BTW ,On occasion I actually do cook in my fireplace - for fun. We have baked cakes in there before!!
I reuse , reduce, and sometimes I recycle. I rarely use paper towels, and I try to avoid harsh chemicals. I try not to use very much water, although what ever savings that I have made is quickly offset by my family . I often shop garage sales, and second hand shops. So Al I do try to do my part. I can appreciate that your trying to encourage us to be good stewards of the earth , and to manage , and use its resources responsibly. I get that , and I think that's a great idea.

And Al about that question - "What would Jesus drive?" , I know the answer, it would be a light "Marian" blue colored Ford club wagon. (we have one that we use for camping, and for work. ) It seats 14 passengers, which would be enough room for Jesus , Mary , and his twelve disciples. Lazarus can go on top , you could strap him down with the luggage, besides he was dead so who cares? No worries Jesus is a great driver! He helps me all of the time.

Believe it or not even though I have a ton of stuff , I hate stuff. I seriously want to live like a "Shaker". A shaker with some low tech view masters. B-)

No tales of the future here - false alarm, over on "Drudge"

From "The Sun newspaper dated January 16th, 2009,

A NASA scientist said that there is life on mars .

"We’ve really only scratched the surface — it’s an absolute certainty that there is life out there and we are not alone.

Prof Pillinger- “The most obvious source of methane is from organisms. So if you find methane in an atmosphere, you can suspect there is life
“If there is life on Mars then the logical conclusion is that there must be life elsewhere too.

Brainiac Belinda - If so , what would you be willing to bet me that this," so called life" will be held sacred, and that is will have enormous value.
Unless you can treat human life better down here ,

I really don't give a crap about your amoeba discovery.

Worse yet, I still am not convinced that global warming is for real.

Home made soda.

Dear God, Your people can be so amazing.

The Israeli 'Technion' and The College of Judea and Samaria have developed a new nanobot that will be able to cruise inside the human body. In the last years scientists are making efforts to minimize robots so they will aid medical procedures. Robots are already involved in spinal surgeries today, and this new nanobot will hopefully be involved in new highly accurate medical procedures allowing minimal tissue damage.

These features will make it possible for the nanobot to venture through our veins and arteries in any direction in order to reach the right spot and conduct the relevant procedures.

Although it has already been designed and built, Professor Shoham reminds us that while promising, the nanobot is far from being an operational model.
