  • Sex comes back to haunt Megan Fox

    Sex comes back to haunt Megan Fox

    The roll out of the TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES is just about set for a momentous culmination.. the movie’s release will come after months —and many hardcore weeks—of Megan Fox headlines. She has cussed out haters, she said she’s sexy, and she dressed in attire that nearly didn’t cover the most sensual places on her body..

    But perhaps regret is starting to creep in. Film companies has used her body and her beauty—not her thumbs—for about a decade. Her roles have focused on the beauty and not the brains.. and isn’t that really a shame.

    USA TODAY reports this about her real attitude:

    Just, please, please, don’t call her a bombshell in front of her kids. Fox, who plays intrepid reporterApril O’Neil in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtlesreboot opening Friday, cringes visibly when she thinks about her two toddlers, Noah, almost 2, and Bodhi, 5 months, one day being confronted with images of their mother all sexed up.

    “I wanted to be a superhero for my children. They can’t really see Transformers, because it’s too sexualized for them to deal with their mother. That’s their mother bent over the car. We don’t need to go there — maybe ever,” says Fox, 28, referring to her breakout performance in Michael Bay’s 2007 cinematic explosion.

    Michael Bay’s use of Megan’s body in promos ..It has been apparent that TMNT spots are featuring her on purpose in order to attract a potential gender and age group.. And her outfits to the premieres? My oh my.. Little left to an imagination..

    Even more sex related news concerning Megan Fox: Apparently, Brian Austin Greene is not having sex with Megan.. We know that because of gossip rags and E!ONLINE reporting it..

    It’s bizarre to me—and always has been—to know the secret and sultry sex lives of Hollywood stars. People in grocery store lines have always eaten it up as much as the pastries surely in their grocery carts.. And now with the internet’s cheapening of gossip, now it’s even worse. The paparazzi would love to snap Fox and others in any position they could..
    But Megan has kids.
    And her body has been used for years..
    Up and until now..

    Regret perhaps? The uncomfortable fact that eventually her children will see films in which she’s bent overtop of a car with her scantily clad breasts hanging out? You can’t cover kids’ eyes forever.

    But it will be ‘mom’ .. and no one wants to look at ‘mom’ ..

    But Megan’s not just any mom.

  • History on a wire

    History on a wire

    This happened 40 years ago today.

    Philippe Petit left a crowd of thousands breathless as he traversed a wire strung between the Twin Towers. Eschewing a safety harness or a net, the 24-year-old walked and danced across the 130-foot gap between the towers, balanced on a one-inch thick steel cable strung at a height of 110-stories. 

    In later accounts, Petit traced his inspiration for the performance back to the first time he saw a photo of the Twin Towers. He was at a dentist’s office with a toothache when he came across the image in a magazine. The 18-year-old ripped the photo out and left the office. He spent the next six years planning for the death-defying act.

    And now those towers are gone.. remaining are memories of them, and recollections of seeing this amazing feat on that day in August, 1974..

  • The Ebola scare

    The Ebola scare

    Skeptics In Sierra Leone Doubt Ebola Virus Exists »

    Sierra Leone is at the epicenter of the Ebola outbreak. But many people there don’t think the virus is real. Others are so frightened by Ebola that they’re afraid to take sick relatives to clinics.

    This is fascinating, and a symptom of oppression and constant upheaval in certain places on the continent of Africa..

    So many in the hot spot for Ebola don’t think it even exists..While workers, government officials, and military personnel all drive around in cars with loudspeakers—cars that feature images of people looking like zombies, vomiting—some listening are ignoring.. Ignorance is what may be causing the virus to spread faster and further than ever before in recorded history of Ebola.

    NPR reports on some of the Ebola deniers: 

    Opinions are mixed, but there’s a strong dose of Ebola deniers— those who don’t believe the virus exists at all. Zainab Koroma, a street hawker, is adamant it isn’t real.

    “I do not believe Ebola exists because none of my family members has been affected by it,” she says. “When you get sick of cholera, they say it is Ebola. When your body temperature rises, they say it is Ebola. So I honestly don’t believe Ebola exists. There could be a lot of other diseases killing people.”

    That’s one of the challenges facing Sierra Leone — trying to convince the nation that “Ebola is real, Ebola is here, and Ebola kills,” as one poster reads. Some people do survive, if they receive medical care early, as soon as they fall sick.

    The case of 32-year-old Saudata Koroma transfixed the nation late last month. She was brought to a faded blue government hospital in Freetown, feeling unwell, and was admitted.

    “Yes, and we were suspicious that she had Ebola, and she was put in isolation,” says Amadu Sesay, the doctor in charge of the hospital. “The tests proved she had Ebola. Prior to the arrival of the test results, the relatives of the patient stormed the facility. They stormed this hospital and took the patient away.”

    When his staff learned Koroma had Ebola, Sesay says, they had to track her down. But it took some time. “She was put in an ambulance, but unfortunately on the way to [an Ebola clinic in] Kailahun, she died,” he says.

    And with that epic account, more infections were spread due to the denial of the disease..

    The world may spin their eyes at tales of denials of a deadly virus, but consider some facts: You may live in a nation absent these abuses:

    1. Harsh conditions and treatment in jails
    2. Female genital mutilation, forcibly done
    3. Widespread government corruption
    4. Rampant discrimination from the government based off of sexual preference
    5. Child abuse and trafficking, with high officials involved
    6. Forced child labor
    7. And this: A civil war that actually killed 25 times as many people as the Kosovo war did.. During wartime, children were often forced into the military and women were raped in brutal attacks.

    All of that while the world ignored, and then Sierra Leone was put on the United Nations Human Rights Council in 2012.

    So doubt that Ebola exists? Common sense would tell someone it’s real.. But live in a nation where the citizenry has been oppressed by a tyrannical government, and it’s easy to see why disbelief in reality is rampant.

  • SETI search suspended due to wildfires

    SETI search suspended due to wildfires

    California wildfires temporarily suspend search for aliens 

    Wildfires raging in Northern California briefly halted the search for extraterrestrial life on Tuesday.

    Quite possibly one of the best news headlines ever to appear on CNN..

    But the real news is this: For those not aware, tremendous wildfires are burning and raging in California, the home of SETI. A fire was near SETI, about 200 miles north of Sacramento.

    CNN goes on to report:

    At SETI — which stands for Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence — scientists search the heavens for signs of extraterrestrial life by “listening” with an array of small satellite dishes.

    The blaze came within a mile of the facility, located near Hat Creek, California, on both the east and west, according to Shostak.

    “The fire on the west had jumped the road, burnt down our favorite lunch place, got within a mile of the telescopes,” he said. As the flames got closer, the staff fled to safer ground and shut down the satellites.

    “We just lost some search hours,” he said. “To expect that E.T. will somehow reach out at this moment, that would be very bizarre.”

    That is the amazing part.. imagine the irony if this moment, when computers were abandoned and no one was home, ET phoned earth?

    Strangers things may have happened. Or not. That we know of.

  • Hoax or Axe?

    Hoax or Axe?

    An image printed by the UK METRO has gained popularity in paranormal circles.. some see evidence of a ghostly figure, while others say it’s a major hoax and can be dismissed as that.

    The story, as printed by the less than always reliable tabloid across the pond:

    A man clutching an axe inside an old military frigate doesn’t make for your typical ghost story, nor does it make typical fodder for an internet hoax.

    But a photograph showing a ghostly figure with an axe in his hand aboard a decommissioned military vessel on a dry dock has gained a lot of traction on social media sites.

    Stevgoldhound, who posted the picture on Imgur yesterday, claims it was taken by a colleague of his called John who works as a dock foreman.

    John apparently took the picture while snapping work areas and navigating deep within the ship with a torch. He didn’t see anyone while taking the images.

    Another user of the site cleaned up the image and came up with this. Creepy huh?

    It is creepy, if real.. Even if not real, the image is genuinely jumpy.

    The METRO story goes on to say that this person, only with one name of Stevgoldhound *I assume a user name from somewhere online?* is a skeptic.. Even more, supposedly, a search was conducted and there were no people aboard the ship. Matey. And finally, the one-named onliner also said his friend ‘John’ could simply be blowing smoke up his ass. Maybe. And all of the internet world, too..

    At this point: I am placing this one in the fun but fake category. No evidence to showcase any thing real.. nothing which proves the user names are true, and certainly no real information that offers any credibility to the story.

    But it is a creepy image.

  • Is that a face on your comet, or are you just happy to be probed?

    Is that a face on your comet, or are you just happy to be probed?

    Where’s Richard C. Hoagland when you need him!? The ‘Enterprise Mission’ was famous for spotting a ‘face on Mars,’ one that turned out to just be a trick of the camera and lightning gone awry.. But there’s a new trick in space, one perhaps even creepier: The face on the Comet..

    It was spotted by the Rosetta probe, the European Space Agency’s craft in orbit.. It captured a photo of the ‘face,’ most likely another optical illusion that will create years of wild speculation..

    The face is more like that of a skeleton. Freakishly pale, with a mummified appearance.

    Tariq Malik from SPACE.COM points that that these types of ‘faces’ seen on planets, and now comets, are examples of pareidolia, in which the human brain perceives faces or shapes on random images.. Such as clouds, if you have a good imagination on a summer day..

    And anyway, if you take a close look at the extreme left hand side of the comet, it looks like Ferb from Phinneas and Ferb. I think.

    The amazing part of this story isn’t the fictitious face, it’s the true science: Rosetta will be landing on the comet in November. And then it will accompany the comet until its closest approach to the sun in August 2015..

    To major stories here: 1) Earthlings are landing a probe on a comet. And 2) NASA isn’t doing it..

  • Horrific stabbing shocks town

    Horrific stabbing shocks town

    There’s something deeply wrong out there.. Perhaps always was, and made much more easy to learn about with the internet’s super highway connecting all of the vast portions of the world together..

    This is what is known about a brutal Michigan killing: A 12-year-old boy stabbed another boy, age 9, in a playground.. There seemingly is no connection between them. They don’t appear to have known each other.. Th 12-year-old stabbed the other in the back with a kitchen knife..  The 12-year-old calmly approached a man close to the playground after the stabbing, and asked to use a phone.

    Reportedly the boy said he was unloved..also this: He took multiple pills earlier in the day.

    As if the entire story wasn’t chilling enough, this is how the culmination of events took place, as CNN reported:

    Police said that after he was stabbed, Conner managed to run back home before he collapsed on the porch. An ambulance rushed him to a hospital, where he died Monday night.

    Lawhorn, meanwhile, “left the playground then went to a nearby residence where he asked to use the phone,” Kentwood Chief of Police Thomas Hillen said.

    “I thought he was calling for his parents to come pick him up,” homeowner Glen Stacy told CNN. He wasn’t. “He called 911,” he said.

    Stacy described Lawhorn as “calm and collected” throughout, and that he told the 911 dispatcher, “Hi, I just stabbed someone, please pick me up and come kill me, I want to end my life.”

    MORE here..

    There can be dozens if not more questions applied to this news brief. A kitchen knife? From where.. parental guidance lacking? Mental problems undiagnosed? So many aspects to the story that are difficult and time consuming to contemplate.

    In the mean time, a 9-year-old family is grieving a tragic and abrupt loss of someone they love..
    Horror in the playground..
    The kids aren’t alright.
