Baby Nessie Fossil Found in Antarctic
Found on an Antarctic island. Rather far away from Scotland. "The five-foot-long animal would have resembled Nessie, the long-necked creature reported to inhabit Scotland's Loch Ness."
Let blind hunters use lasers
Texas legislation will allow blind hunters to use laser sights that will guide them as they aim at the animal. This sounds very weird to me. Why would a blind person even want to hunt? What's the point? I'm just not seeing it. (Thanks, Big Gary)
Talking doll calls three-year-old "a slut"
A California mother claims her daughter's Little Mermaid Shimmering Lights Ariel doll said "You're a slut." Mattel, the doll's manufacturer, is doubtful, but has offered to replace the doll. This reminds me of the case of the
"Who wants to die" talking Elmo.
NASA deals blow to lunar real estate industry
NASA has announced plans to build a base on the moon, and it doesn't care if anyone claims to own the land it's building on. But I'm sure this won't slow down the 'Buy land on the moon' industry, since there will always be some sucker willing to buy lunar property.
Comments
Just as the story said, the laser sights for blind hunters allow the person assisting the blind hunter to confirm that the weapon is aimed properly for a humane harvest of the target animal (notice the politically correct language I was using there...)
The Blind hunter may not have been blind from birth... it may have been an accident (I.E. Dick Cheney's hunting partner's :lol: ) or developed over time (cataracts or some other degenerative eye ailment. I am not certain I would be motivated to continue hunting (and I haven't been in several years anyhow) were I to lose my eyesight, but I have a few friends that probably would.
And so the government sucks...
Yeah--I was wondering--would this work for blind drunk hunters?
Since this animal "would have resembled Nessie" does that mean it was always blurry and out of focus and resembled a log?
I absolutely agree....I can't make out a single word out of that jibberish, but I'm pretty positive if it'd said slut (and especially since I was listening specifically for it), I would have heard it. This is a baseless case. Good translation, too! lol
You mean I'm NOT the landlord of Crater Estates?
"I suppose if you play the video backward you hear a message from Satan instructing you to kill Ringo, the last surviving Beatle."
Uh, anything you want to tell Paul McCartney, Chary?
"Cranky, I've just developed this irrational desire to keep stirring up the Paul is dead conspiracy. Don't know why, but I suppose it keeps me off the drugs."
Hey, Chary, are you old enough to remember the "Paul is dead" thing? I am. Man, I actually remember friends pulling out the albums to examine the covers for "clues." Pareidolia much?
As for buying land on the moon (just to attempt to be topical), don't you have to actually exert, or be able to exert, or be shown to once have exerted, actual control over something to be able to claim ownership of thqat thing? In other words, if you or your representative are unable to visit and physically lay claim to real estate then I don't think such claims are valid. I don't see any stakes being driven into the moon.
