2. Name it "Big Corp Always Wins" 3. ????? 4. PROFIT! Seriously though, with the potential rise of food prices, I wonder what are the rural China citizens going to eat.

Well, hope no one is dumb enough to do this:

Looking at the video. This is a simple case of: "Hurr durr. Look! My kid is in the washing machine. Durrrrrr". They're lucky that the kid doesn't get killed. And to be honest, even I've had some similar "hurr durr" thoughts pertaining to my cat, where I'd think: "Oh, what would it be like for my cat to be in the washer or even the microwave." Of course, no way in hell am I gonna do that to my cat. In the case of this incident... it's a freakin' kid!

Gordan Cooper will be heading back to space tomorrow (if all goes as planned) on the SpaceX flight. James Doohan (Scotty) will be on the same flight with 300 or so others as ashes. (This time they expect the ashes to stay up for a year) The flight itself wil be the first commercial flight to deliver supplies to the ISS and the first American resupply flight since the Space Shuttles retired.

After for so long, I knew this is going to become news. It'll be also easy to say it's economic sabotage, although personally I don't think the PLA are ten feet tall and their equipment could screw up as much as their would-be opponents. But the troublesome part is, it's not impossible to dismiss the idea of a Chinese-made IC chip implanted in an NSA-designed phone that also doubles as an eavesdropping component.

Egypt's Presidential Front-Runner is a 9/11 "Truther"
"Egyptian presidential candidate Abdel-Moneim Abolfotoh, formerly of the Muslim
Brotherhood and the current front-runner in the polls, is a 9/11 “truther.” “It was too big an operation,” he said in an interview with Eric Trager. “They [the United States] didn’t bring this crime before the U.S. justice system until now. Why? Because it’s part of a conspiracy.”" See: http://www.worldaffairsjournal.org/b...er-911-truther |
