The Serpent Gods
The Serpent Gods
"I do NOT hate the Reptilians. They are not Evil. It is in their nature to act as they do. This group and my websites are NOT about spreading hatred for the Reptilians. They are about bringing awareness that the Reptilians exist. Reptilians and Global Elite insiders are welcome to join this group. :)"

Undead Films - The Best in Zombie Movies
Undead Films - The Best in Zombie Movies
"Evil has come to the Butte County Institute of Special Education, and its students will never be the same. After surviving a battle to the death with his own monstrous creation, Dr. Stern returns to continue his horrible research in this blood-drenched sequel to the cult hit 'Monsturd.' Armed with a fatal hyper-intelligence serum, the mad doctor transforms a quiet community into an army of flesh-eating zombies. It's a showdown of limb-chopping, head-bursting proportions as Stern's nemesis, F.B.I. agent Susan Hannigan, and the local Sheriff's department take on the zombie plague in the ultimate battle royale."

Death From The Skies!!
News
"The Thames is home to over a hundred species of fish but never, until now, has a piranha been found in its murky waters.
One of the deadly Amazonian fish, shoals of which can devour big prey in seconds, mysteriously landed on a moored vessel in Dagenham, east London, having apparently fallen out of the sky." [via Undiscovered]

Furryweekend: What Happened?
This seems curious to me. I know its already happened....but it makes me wonder what was going on that they were trying to hide so zealously. I know furries, and I know a bit about the "subculture." I can imagine what they might have wanted to keep secret, but frankly it bothers me. It bothers me because this is something that could reflect badly on geekdom in general. So...who knows what happened?

Pot For Teacher
Pot For Teacher
"FEBRUARY 23--Here's a bit of advice for high school administrators everywhere: If a drug-sniffing police dog somehow misses the pot you planted in a troublemaker's locker, just let it go. Patrick Conroy, however, felt the need to tell Michigan cops about his harebrained attempt to frame a student he believed was selling drugs at L.C. Mohr High School. Conroy, who resigned his assistant principal's post Friday when the Herald-Palladium reported on his scheme, last month laughingly told a K-9 cop about planting the pot, according to the below South Haven Police Department reports. Saying, 'I know this isn't or wasn't ethical,' Conroy, 52, told the cop he put the baggie of marijuana in the student's locker since 'we both know he is dealing drugs, and I wanted to catch him so I put drugs in the locker.' The dog, named Herbie, did not cooperate, however, failing to detect the weed. For his part, Conroy repeatedly steered the K-9 team past the bank of lockers, to no avail. Conroy is now the subject of a criminal probe. (7 pages)"

"What is that rustling around in your backyard? What was that shadow darkening the flatbed of Junior's abandoned El Camino? What left that clump of brown hair sticking to the prized azalea bushes? Could it be a large dog? Curious George? Burt Reynolds? Your mother-in-law?
"Or -- better yet (apologies to Burt Reynolds fans) -- a YETI? Yes, the mysterious Yeti...also known as the Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Momo, Skunk Ape, Abominable Snowman, and 'Mahatma Gandhi on a teeter-totter, Vern -- what the hell is THAT over yonder in the dumpster!?!'"

"I feel vindicated--I always felt I might come off like a crank in stories like 'Where it's Safe' and in novels like DEMONS, where I talked about this sort of thing. Now the Nobel laureates are getting my back. This from the San Francisco Chronicle, look it up at sfgate.com: 'Sixty-two of the nation's top scientists, including a dozen Nobel laureates, denounced the Bush administration Wednesday for 'misrepresenting and suppressing scientific knowledge for political purposes.' In an unusually harsh critique of White House policy-making, the scientists signed a joint statement accusing the administration of systematically distorting research findings, disbanding scientific advisory panels, ignoring or demoting its own staff experts and misleading the public on issues ranging from lead poisoning to climate change. The statement accompanied a lengthy report from the Union of Concerned Scientists... detailing example after example of what it called 'the Bush administration's misuse of science.''"
