    Signs?


    Children let peace doves fly after the Pope spoke about the Ukraine. And then something funny happened..
    From the AP:

    VATICAN CITY (AP) — Two white doves that were released by children standing alongside Pope Francis as a peace gesture have been attacked by other birds.

    As tens of thousands of people watched in St. Peter’s Square on Sunday, a seagull and a large black crow swept down on the doves right after they were set free from an open window of the Apostolic Palace.

    One dove lost some feathers as it broke free from the gull. But the crow pecked repeatedly at the other dove.

    It was not clear what happened to the doves as they flew off.

  • Superbowl SnowGlobe?

    Superbowl SnowGlobe?

    This is an image of workers shoveling the MetLife stadium in East Rutherford New Jersey. It ran in a DAILY MAIL story about how the United States is facing such ungodly cold and snow that even the SUPERBOWL may postponed! That sounds awfully scary.  What would scare me would be to know you have to shovel an entire stadium even time it snows—and may it look as pretty as possible for an open air Superbowl. Who decided that again….?  If it snows, unless Chris Christie decides to make a snow cone, chances are it’s going to be messy. I did a long range forecast look on Accuweather for the Superbowl location. At this time, right now, Superbowl Saturday/Sunday calls for cloudy with snow on Saturday and rain and snow on Sunday. Both days 35 degrees. Bearable temperatures by next weekend.. but the mess of a storm  may blanket the game..

  • THE PURGE part 2: This time it’s real

    THE PURGE part 2: This time it’s real

    So often, events in the world can be compared to WWE wrestling or horror movies. I have long held that belief. Today’s headlines lead me to concur with my own past pronunciations of the fact.

    ‘North Korea Executes Entire Family Of Kim Jong-Un’s Uncle’ »

    Kim Jong-un is believed to have ordered the total elimination of his uncle’s biological relatives. The terrifying purge reportedly started straight after Jang Sung-Taeks execution and is to demonstrate the Kim Jong Un’s “decisiveness.”

    The PURGE is real.. it’s happening in North Korea.. The ghastly story has been reported by South Korean news agencies..  Reports indicate that some of the murdered resisted, so much so that they were dragged from their residences and shot dead in front of others. 
    The word on the street in South Korea, as portrayed by South Korean President Park Geun-Hye:
    “North Korea is now engaged in a reign of terror while carrying out a massive purge to consolidate the power of Kim Jong-Un”

    Texas Hospital Yet to Make Decision on Brain-Dead Patient »

    A spokeswoman for a Texas hospital says it won’t say whether it plans to appeal a judge’s order to take a pregnant brain-dead woman off of life support.

    There seem to be a number of these stories lately concerning people who are ‘brain dead.’ This latest one from Texas appears to be especially dreadful in nature. Even  if you’re fully in favor of taking persons like this off of life support, the fact that a pregnancy is involved makes it much more difficult.
    We also have not heard much about Jahi McMath’s plight in the past few weeks, even since the family asked for privacy and was allowed to find her care somewhere.. 
    These stories are touching and awful. We all hope none of us ever have to personally experience the horrid nature of having a family member filled with life suddenly succumb to a ‘brain dead’ existence. 
    Even though science discounts most miracles, they have been known to happen.. So here’s hoping they do ..
  • BROAD CITY for the HORROR REPORT

    BROAD CITY for the HORROR REPORT

    Screen shot from BROAD CITY IT’S A WONDERFUL WORLD

    The other night during the premiere of BROAD CITY on Comedy Central, a screen shot of the HORROR REPORT was visible for a brief second.

    It occurs a few minutes into the episode IT’S A WONDERFUL WORLD, where one of the main stars played by Iiana Glazer flips from her screen saver of Little Wayne to the HORRORREPORT.COM.

    I was contacted some time ago by the producers of BROAD CITY, and they asked permission to use the site. I did not hesitate.. I was honored. And now my waiting has come to fruition.

    The coolest part of all: Amy Poehler is the executive producer of BROAD CITY… does she read the horror happenings and paranormal reports from around the world on the HORROR REPORT?

    As for the show itself, it has been accepted by critics as refreshing and funny. A number of reviews praised the first episode for fresh humor and it is already being called a winner for Comedy Central..

    So cheers to the first episode of BROAD CITY!

    And thanks for the recognition. Hopefully Amy, if you’re reading, you’re enjoying the HORROR REPORT every day..

    Exploding Star: New Supernova Discovery Is Closest in Years »

    An exploding star has suddenly appeared in the night sky, dazzling astronomers who haven’t seen a new supernova this close to our solar system in years.

    Also amazing to know: It was first discovered by university students in London. 
    It’s visible in the Northern Hemisphere between the Big Dipper and the Little Dipper. The last greatest view the earth had of this type of event was in 1987.. 
    Very cool stuff in the night sky.
