Several popular websites, including Google, either partially or fully shutting down websites today (in Google’s case a blackened out logo) to protect legislation meant to stop online piracy–and legislation that many fear could lead to a chilling death to freedom of speech on the Internet.. As more today become aware of the ramifications of the online piracy act, it will shed light on two things: 1) how much power will the online blackout really have to awaken the masses and 2) how much power the masses really have over the asses. Will the citizenry call Congress to protest a controversial bill?

Whatever result comes from the online blackout will be interesting to see, but for a real dent to be put into SOPA and it’s champions like GoDaddy and the MPAA, the blackout must be effective and noticeable. And quick. Time is ticking on the legislation…

 Just when you thought it was safe to live in Seattle without a snow shovel, thing again: The biggest snowstorm in decades is about the hit the Washington city.. 

Is the earth moaning or groaning? Are strange noises across the planet a sign of impending doom? Earthquakes? Nothing? Maybe it’s all just a hoax. These ‘noises’ perhaps nothing else but Internet chatter about noises that aren’t really so..

We know this much: There are months worth of YouTube videos showcasing what users claim are the sounds from earth.. And now more sounds and earth groans are occurring yet again, as highlighted by brand new videos online..

A few of my followers have previously told me in simply falling for a hoax. But the more I hear these videos and stories from seemingly reputable people talking about strange noises across the planet the more I think that supposed hoax I’m falling for is more truth than anything ..

A grandmother suffered a brutal beating at none other than Chuck E Cheese’s.. Her sin? Telling others not to use fowl language around grandchildren..For such a horrible request she was lunched and dragged by the hair around the Michigan restaurant.

The family was refunded by the restaurant.. Police investigating.. A hospital treating. Life in the modern age..

A cruise ship goes down.. Every man for himself.. Panic and amazing tales of survival–and horrid tales of death. The only thing that people are thinking about is that it is the modern day Titanic.

Bodies and wreckage being discovered .. The UK DAILY MAIL has a great update with excellent photos of the horror cruise from hell..

New Hampshire here we are. After so many months of debate and argument, the presidential campaign kicks into high gear. Tonight, Mitt the twit versus Ron, Newt’s massive head verdus versus Jon… Don’t forget, it just begins tonight! Your state may be next….

Stephen Hawking, the master of so many scientific theories on space and time, celebrated his 70th birthday–50 years confined to a wheelchair..

He may have many answers and have written pounds of books, but he can’t explain perhaps one of the biggest mysteries of the planet: He can’t explain women

A lost world in the Antarctic never known to scientists before has just been discovered..

Species have been found on the sea floor, clustered in the hot and dark environment surrounding hydrothermal vents..
