God strikes Jesus
A rock is a rock
“So my best guess for this rock … is that it’s something that was nearby,” said Squyres. “I must stress that I’m guessing now, but I think it happened when the rover did a turn in place a meter or two from where this rock now lies.”
Saturday diversions
Any news update with a Swiss cheese pervert has to be seen. But there’s lots more on this Freaky Friday, too
FRIDAY JANUARY 17 2014
A sampling of things from bad to worse.
Enjoy:
The Discovery Channel tells people not to worry about Fukushima radiation.. Clyde Lewis points out “The Discovery Channel which is owned by NBC Universal which has had a relationship with General Electric, which is the company which built the Fukushima reactor says stop worrying about Fukushima radiation … this is sad comedy”

A bay in Norway got so cold that it froze fish while they were swimming..

Dangerously high methane levels have been detected in Washington DC.. There are apparently a dozen manholes with gas levels high enough that they could explode.. They are most common in the district’s oldest neighborhoods.. There’s most likely no fear in Congress, the only thing that blows there is hot air..
Assumption sinkhole: Louisiana officials set to reveal methane gas concerns at meeting ..
A fault line taht could make Hollywood tumble..
How we know the earth is moving through space..
The experiment that changed reality: WIRED explains..
Every time another planet discovery is announced, I question how long until we find the alternate versions of us? How long until we see that we’re just being replicated in the galaxy, a mass computer system of simulations. The matrix.. All that. Until then, we only have stories like this–equally amazing nonetheless: First exoplanet orbiting Sun’s twin in star cluster found, scientists say.. Yea that’s cool too..
UNITED set to furlough up to 700 flight attendants..
Google set to make ‘smart’ contact lenses. But they will only be as smart as the owner..people will still forget they have them in causing infections, and they’ll also drop them or get them stuck in their forehead. It never fails..
Landmark case has been thrown out of court! A Google Glass tester was ticketed for wearing the device while driving.. The case has been watched and now, accordingly, has been thrown out of court..
Black Friday: JC Pennys and Macys among big stores that are announcing big closings.. One store, JC Penny’s, is near me at the Laurel Mall in Hazleton, PA. It is amazing how big of spaces are developing in malls around the country.. being replaced with dollar stores and pawn shops.

A clean house is a holy house: The Pope has fired all but one Cardinal in just 11 months from the Vatican bank..

Execution in Ohio: Witnesses say Dennis McGuire snorted and struggled to breathe during his nearly 25 minute long execution. Lawyers for the convicted rapist had argued that the method of execution would put him at a risk of unusual agony and terror. The death has been called horrific. I am not a real big fan of capital punishment, maybe that’s the Catholic education I had.. nonetheless, if we’re going to do it, do we want this much pain and suffering? Really.. why not just do the Kim Jong Un way and feed them to dogs? Or the old fashioned way and make the lions ravage him? I am not in a position to judge anyone in a family who lost a loved one and seeks the death penalty as retribution for a crime. But I am in a position, as any other human being is, to say that if we’re going to have this type of government sanctioned killing, let’s do it as fast as we can and not have someone struggle for 25 minutes dying.. Come on John Kasich, can’t you do something sensible here? I just had to say my peace.

Shia La BOOOFF!! Actor headbutted a man in a bar, so says a report.. Something tells me he would have a very painful head..

1960s BATMAN series finally coming to disc..
Well we knew Bieber was a bad egg.. Now his iPhone has been siezed due to investigation of egging incident..
Sad day on Gilligan’s Island


The pink stars are falling tonight with Clyde Lewis
Some bizarre times are upon us.. The planet earth is set to pass through the Comet Ison debris field.. While we have been told by experts that there is nothing to worry about, a little listen to Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis may be in order tonight. The topic he’s chatting about at this hour is the Ison debris..
There’s something that made me stop in my internet tracks while listening moments ago..
Maybe I’m losing my nose for news, but I did not really know much about Asteroid 2014 AA .. I do now. It was the first asteroid discovered in 2014 and it exploded over the Atlantic Ocean. It was a car-sized asteroid and had the potential of striking the planet.
But what was absent? Warning. Yes, we know it was a ‘harmless’ impact over the Atlantic.. And we know it was ‘tiny,’ ‘small,’ and every other word the media can associate with something that we are not supposed to worry about. And obviously, living the life of Chicken Little always worrying about the sky falling is certainly no way to exist… But the fact that the asteroid was seen with only one day of time prior to the potential strike is chilling..
We are not intercepting fragments of the dead comet Ison .. We are being told fireballs in the sky may occur. There are booms happening everywhere–frostquakes they tell us.. Big earthquakes with multiple aftershocks taking place in Puerto Rico…
And now, there is a ‘minor’ meteor shower coming from the remnants of Ison. Minor. Nothing to see here..
Should we shake out heads at the timing of a warning from the Emergency Management Agency of Utah, telling us to stop and drop immediately if we see a bright light?
I’m sure just coincidental timing..
Sepsis can’t keep him down: Knapp speaks
About a week ago, I posted a quick update on what I knew of George Knapp, ace reporter and Coast to Coast AM part time host.. Then, I said he had sepsis and it nearly killed him. Last night, Knapp took to Facebook to explain more in-depth his personal life (something out of the ordinary for him, he typically keeps his personal personal) .. Knapp wrote,
I returned to the TV airwaves tonight for the first time in a month. I would not normally talk about private stuff in a public setting like this one, but wanted to say thanks to all of those who sent messages of support over the past weeks.
Back in early December, I came down with something called sepsis, a blood infection, and it damned near did me in. If my wife hadn’t managed to get a doctor to prescribe some meds without actually seeing me, I would not be here to talk about it. Had to cancel several radio shows and newspaper columns, along with assorted I Team stories we were working on but am now back on the job, appreciative of all the kind words sent to me by people who figured out that something was amiss.

Move over Grays. The Tall Whites run it all
The Tall Whites run it all…
