Case of the post-Thanksgiving Mondays

MONDAY DECEMBER 2, 2013
THE ‘GRIND’ RESUMES.

For lots, it never ended. Today is also Cyber Monday. Which is an annoying term, but at least it prevents stores from using that horrendous word “doorbusters” to describe their sales.
So does HEALTHCARE.GOV work in time for Cyber Monday?

Onto the news..

‘Promise me, no more funerals.’ ‘Just one more’: Haunting lines spoken by Paul Walker and co-star in Fast & Furious clip leaked days before he died in fiery car crash in friend’s Porsche Carrera

There are constantly rumors online that celebrities are dead.. they are normally always hoaxes. When Paul Walker died on Saturday, many thought it was the continuation of a hoax from Friday saying that he died..

Renewed attention being given to the New Madrid fault

Quake swarm: California..
Earthquake number 17 in North Texas..

“Comfort station” in old coal city Pottsville is a thing of the past.. The economic downtown and a city in distress–as many cities are these days..

More scary Google patent news: Google files patent for robot that writes your Facebook posts, emails and tweets – but will need FULL access to scan your accounts It would study you, be you, and mimic you. When someone posts a message, your robot you would reply just as you would. But what if the other person is a bot, too? What if we are all bots? This is a ride down to the abyss, where your mind will be dead to ‘them’ and your body will simply be a cavern of organs, blood, and a semi-beating heart.

New research: America is now dead last in education.

Who is watching the watchers?

Monsanto set to battle its negative public image..

Comet Ison: Alive, then dead, then found, now fading.

Roseanne Barr says she will never work in TV again..

Cats are suffering from a new phenomenon where they suffer seizures triggered by everyday sounds.. and it has a name: ‘Tom and Jerry’ syndrome

Moon grown and good.

Would you eat a carrot grown no the moon? The question is, at this time, would a carrot even grow on the moon?

NASA is exploring the notion that we will one day, in the distant future perhaps, live on our satellite. And in doing so, they are also set to experiment with the possibility of growing food on it.
And the DAILY MAIL reports that experts think if plants can survive there, humans can too.
It all takes place in 2015. 
The real question humans should ask themselves: Where are we going to start putting all of our garbage? Our cans, our boxes.. our plastic.. and our dreaded Styrofoam?  I think it’s high time, with all these planets KEPLER has been finding, to get a big rocket ship and do daily deliveries of our trash to foreign lands. Perhaps that planet made of glass! Or maybe the one that is 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit! I know, we can send them into the black hole that is glowing with bright light!
Come on humans.. aren’t we tired of ruining our own planet with trinkets and useless trash?! Is it not time to branch out and ruin foreign and distant planets? It’s the human way! Reach out and touch the stars, and secretly throw your old McDonalds bag of rubbish out the window when no one’s looking. 
But in the mean time, we’ll take it slow. First up: GROW FOOD ON THE MOON!
It’s a small step for plants, a giant leap for plant kind.
Good luck with that.


Drone deliveries

Who says drones can’t be used for the good, too? »

AMAZON is going to deliver your package with drones—not armed, I imagine, unless you consider a piece of junk made in China to be a weapon..
Seriously, Jeff Beezos showed CHARLIE ROSE all of the gadgets and contraptions that will make drone delivery possible tonight on 60 MINUTES.
Goodbye post office. So long UPS. FEDEX is not even a match.
No, not at all.
Not when you have drones…
At least if this happens, innocent Pakistani school kids won’t be killed in ‘collateral damage’ for no reason. 
But what if the people of Pakistan order from Amazon? Drones to the rescue while others bomb?
Oh the future prospects of this are … startling. AND COMING SOON TO A SKY NEAR YOU.
