Or Oil? Or wanting to examine arctic conditions?  Nope.  How about measuring the magnetic anomalies of the pole?  Nope.  How about doing some ice core sampling?  Nope. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They are, and I kid you not, looking for "the hole to the center of the Earth".  Supposedly, and according to this group, it is surrounded by a mysterious fog.  How they know this, never having been there (they're looking for it, right?), is a bit of a mystery in itself.  Anyway, this "hole" is supposed to lead to the hollow core of the Earth where an unknown civilization lives, or lurks.  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;The "scientist" is named Brooks Agnew, and by next year at this time, he hopes to be lounging in the hole, delighting in inner Earth amazement.   He's chartered a commercial Russian icebreaker named Yamal (port of Murmansk), and he will sail just beyond Canada's Arctic islands - where the "hole" is supposed to be.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Everest has been climbed a hundred times," Mr. Agnew says. "The Titanic has been scanned from stem to stern. [But] this is the first and only expedition to the North Pole opening ever attempted."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recently, the idea that the Earth is hollow experienced a revival, thanks in part to a 2006 book, by American author David Standish, titled "Hollow Earth: The long and curious history of imagining strange lands, fantastical creatures, advanced civilizations, and marvelous machines below the Earth's surface".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, mind you, I'm not one to stop this guy, and his fruitcake microwave-oven brain damaged followers from their fun.  Have at it.  But please do not try to tell us this is anything other than silly hijinks at best.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a way, this is REALLY REALLY scary.  This Agnew guy supposedly has an education        - from a university here in the US.   In physics no less.  So my question is, what school passed this guy and gave him a degree?  And how many others are walking around          with supposed degrees - thinking this kind of sheer and utter nonsense in their heads  - without one shred of a capability to think critically or reason scientifically??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's talk about this "hole"...   surrounded by mysterious fog eh?  And I suppose guarded by Mothra or Godzilla perhaps?  And um...  no sea water pouring into it draining our oceans?  Must be an elevated hole... is it marked?  Neon signs ringing it with strange lettering "Hole Here, Danger, Watch Your Step"?  Or perhaps, "No Girls Allowed"... hahahaha.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It obvious that everyone is lying about this perhaps...   of all the Earth orbiting satellites, ocean explorations, flights, no one has ever spotted "the hole"...   ah yes, the conspiracy approach... we're ALL in on it.   This group will prove us wrong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeah.  OK.   I know where there's a HOLE and it's not in the Arctic, it's in their heads.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16532995-5503532463495104960?l=lowgrowls.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16532995/posts/default/5503532463495104960'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16532995/posts/default/5503532463495104960'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lowgrowls.blogspot.com/2007/06/insanity-runs-amok.html' title='Insanity Runs Amok'/><author><name>G</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12843606107240208935</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16532995.post-496333715995943111</id><published>2007-04-26T08:36:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-04-26T08:38:23.554-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Martians... calling George....

Any credibility here?  Naw!  None at all.]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It has the potential, down the road, to create the kind of fuzzy thinking and chaos in our efforts to exploit the space resource as the fuzzy thinking and chaos that the Iraq policy has created for us in Iraq," Gore explained.   &lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0); font-style: italic;"&gt;[What?

What is that?  Vacuum?  A vacuum is a resource?

International law does not have any juristiction with 'space'.   And concensus?  OK, we go to Pluto, we shout at the planet: Can't we just get along?  BWAAAHHHH.

Yes, and it will use up more of his oil from Occidental Patroleum and make him richer (thanks Daddy Gore).]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While aware such a phrase sounds shrill to many ears, Gore added that "unfortunately, I believe it is exactly dead-on accurate."   &lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0); font-style: italic;"&gt;["Just like my brain dead brain", he should add]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We have a climate crisis," Gore said.

A few astronauts went but you can't tell too much from orbit.]  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was also the scientific study of three near-Earth planetary neighbors—including Mars and Venus— &lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0); font-style: italic;"&gt;[where's the third one doofus?]&lt;/span&gt; that spurred the start of the earth sciences, Gore said.

Should the comet stay on the collision course, it may hit the planet in late October. The impact will cause devastating tsunamis, earthquakes and avalanches, says Fedorovsky. He saw the killer comet in a telescope two weeks ago. He managed to calculate the comet’s trajectory.  “I’m not trying to scare anybody, I just want to warn the public,” sums up Fedorovsky. “We should pay attention to this suspicious celestial body. We could obtain more accurate calculations if other astronomers join forces. We could also photograph it if we’re in luck. We will probably partake in one of the greatest events in the history of humankind,” adds he.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Well OK, so let me summarize what good old Fedorovsky just said:&lt;/span&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Giant Comet  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;[how big is giant?

Beyond that we will likely see changes that make Earth a different planet than the one we know."   So says Jim Hansen (&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;say, didn't he create the Muppets?&lt;/span&gt;), director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York. Hansen and colleagues have analysed global temperature records and found that surface temperatures have been increasing by an average of 0.2 °C every decade for the past 30 years. Warming is greatest in the high latitudes of the northern hemisphere, particularly in the sub-Arctic boreal forests of Siberia and North America. Here the melting of ice and snow is exposing darker surfaces that absorb more sunlight and increase warming, creating a positive feedback.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My Comment: What they don't tell you is that they've only studying the last 30 years and are drawing large assumptions without any further data - mostly guesswork but hey, they're in league with Al Gore (the guy that invented the internet, remember?).  What they also don't tell you is that a majority of meteorologists do not agree with them at all.  Further, Mr. Hansen (Mister, not Doctor?) has explained that he has no firm evidence or proof for any of this but he has stated that he "Feels this is true".   What a flippin' idiot he is!

The daily Mlada fronta Dnes reported Friday that commissioners training at the facility were moving around the plant in a group. One of them, however, left the group and fell into the tank. The water in the tank was not radioactive.  A spokesman for the plant told MfD that the commissioner admitted he had made a mistake. "The rules say that no one is allowed to leave the group," the spokesman said.  The water tank is used in the process of loading and unloading nuclear fuel. Although the water was not in contact with any nuclear fuel during the training, the commissioner was examined to make sure he was not contaminated with radioactivity.   &lt;a href="http://www.praguemonitor.com/ctk/print_friendly.php?id=41955"&gt;Click here for original article.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The title should read: "Retard wanders off and in drooling idiocy falls into vat of radioactive goo".

Here is his book review:&lt;/span&gt; "Drawing on communications from the spirits of more than 100 “successful” suicides, the book offers an intriguing look at what the dead themselves say about suicide, its repercussions, and their experiences in the afterlife. Bringing together the channeled messages of three types of suicide — traditional suicide, assisted suicide, and the suicide mass murder adopted by terrorists — the book covers a wide range of topics, including what it is like to cross over and their adjustment problems for instance."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;What is startling to me is that the author, Jon Klimo, claims to have interviewed these dead people.

They have enlisted the help of other experts, but despite their extensive combined knowledge, the biologists admit they are "baffled".

To do otherwise, he says, will result in a cataclysmic catastrophe. "Humanity is sitting on a ticking time bomb," warns the website for his film, An Inconvenient Truth. "We have just 10 years to avert a major catastrophe that could send our entire planet into a tailspin."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Graciously, Gore tells consumers how to change their lives to curb their carbon-gobbling ways: Switch to compact fluorescent light bulbs, use a clothesline, drive a hybrid, use renewable energy, dramatically cut back on consumption. Better still, responsible global citizens can follow Gore's example, because, as he readily points out in his speeches, he lives a "carbon-neutral lifestyle." But if Al Gore is the world's role model for ecology, the planet is doomed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For someone who says the sky is falling, he does very little. He says he recycles and drives a hybrid. And he claims he uses renewable energy credits to offset the pollution he produces when using a private jet to promote his film. (In reality, Paramount Classics, the film's distributor, pays this.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Public records reveal that as Gore lectures Americans on excessive consumption, he and his wife Tipper live in two properties: a 10,000-square-foot, 20-room, eight-bathroom home in Nashville, and a 4,000-square-foot home in Arlington, Va. (He also has a third home in Carthage, Tenn.) For someone rallying the planet to pursue a path of extreme personal sacrifice, Gore requires little from himself. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion/editorials/2006-08-09-gore-green_x.htm"&gt;Click HERE for the FULL article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16532995-115521957051986401?l=lowgrowls.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16532995/posts/default/115521957051986401'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16532995/posts/default/115521957051986401'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lowgrowls.blogspot.com/2006/08/al-gore-environmental-hypocrit.html' title='Al Gore - Environmental Hypocrit'/><author><name>G</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12843606107240208935</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16532995.post-115521928894678067</id><published>2006-08-10T09:09:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2006-08-10T09:14:49.016-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Schwarzenegger believes his SUV's are ruining the Earth</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Here is the story of a weight lifter that has made enough action movies to allow him to buy the governors office in California.  What a saga.  He then wishes to be the "Global Warming" ambassador... obviously subscribing to the 'global warming' myth in order to win votes.  Only in California.. eh?  So, I'm guessing then that he thinks we can regulate the sun perhaps? Regardless, this is a tactic that is entirely self-absorbed and self-centered.  Win the election at any cost!  Go Team Go!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-G         &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Schwarzenegger has made global warming his signature environmental issue and is eager to sign a climate measure before he faces the state's Democratic-leaning electorate in November. It also would be another way for him to set himself apart from President Bush, who has opposed regulating global warming gases and is deeply unpopular in California.  "He hopes to have a bill on his desk this year that he can sign," spokesman Darrel Ng said, "but he wants to make sure it can be in a way that protects the economy and the environment."  At the same time, the Republican governor must tread carefully in the face of criticism from his own party for even considering signing legislation that businesses oppose.  "This noble goal of reducing greenhouse emissions and making energy use more efficient could backfire," said Dorothy Rothrock, a spokeswoman for the California Manufacturers and Technology Association. "It could hurt the economy and drive emissions outside California, thereby not improving the situation."  Schwarzenegger's gubernatorial opponent, Democratic state Treasurer Phil Angelides, said Wednesday that the changes Schwarzenegger has requested would create only a voluntary plan.

Why, that would cut into the oil industry's HUGE profits. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The story...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A full superconducting experimental Tokamak fusion device, which aims to generate infinite, clean nuclear-fusion-based energy, will be built in March or April in Hefei, capital city of east China's Anhui Province.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Experiments with the advanced new device will start in July or August. If the experiments prove successful, China will become the first country in the world to build a full superconducting experimental Tokamak fusion device, nicknamed "artificial sun", experts here said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The project, dubbed EAST (experimental advanced superconducting Tokamak), is being undertaken by the Hefei-based Institute of Plasma Physics under the Chinese Academy of Sciences. It will require a total investment of nearly 300 million yuan (37 million U.S. dollars), only one fifteenth to one twentieth the cost of similar devices being developed in the other parts of the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The new device will be an upgrade of China's first superconducting Tokamak device, dubbed HT-7, which was also built by the plasma physics institute, in partnership with Russia, in the early 1990s. HT-7 made China the fourth country in the world, after Russia, France and Japan, to have such a device. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://english.people.com.cn/200601/21/eng20060121_237208.html"&gt;CLICK HERE for the FULL STORY&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16532995-115383592273683031?l=lowgrowls.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16532995/posts/default/115383592273683031'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16532995/posts/default/115383592273683031'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lowgrowls.blogspot.com/2006/07/china-to-build-worlds-first-artificial.html' title='China to build world&apos;s first &quot;artificial sun&quot; experimental device'/><author><name>G</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12843606107240208935</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16532995.post-115354842129154579</id><published>2006-07-22T01:04:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2006-07-22T01:07:01.303-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Rapid and Abrupt Climate Change</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Here is a true story of what happens when Egypt refuses to sign the Kyoto Treaty - Rapid Climate Change!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the end of the last Ice Age, the Sahara Desert was just as dry and uninviting as it is today. But sandwiched between two periods of extreme dryness were a few millennia of plentiful rainfall and lush vegetation.  During these few thousand years, prehistoric humans left the congested Nile Valley and established settlements around rain pools, green valleys, and rivers.  The ancient climate shift and its effects are detailed in the July 21 issue of the journal Science.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some 12,000 years ago, the only place to live along the eastern Sahara Desert was the Nile Valley. Being so crowded, prime real estate in the Nile Valley was difficult to come by. Disputes over land were often settled with the fist, as evidenced by the cemetery of Jebel Sahaba where many of the buried individuals had died a violent death.  But around 10,500 years ago, a sudden burst of monsoon rains over the vast desert transformed the region into habitable land.  This opened the door for humans to move into the area, as evidenced by the researcher's 500 new radiocarbon dates of human and animal remains from more than 150 excavation sites.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The climate change at [10,500 years ago] which turned most of the [3.8 million square mile] large Sahara into a savannah-type environment happened within a few hundred years only, certainly within less than 500 years," said study team member Stefan Kroepelin of the University of Cologne in Germany.  In the Egyptian Sahara, semi-arid conditions allowed for grasses and shrubs to grow, with some trees sprouting in valleys and near groundwater sources. The vegetation and small, episodic rain pools enticed animals well adapted to dry conditions, such as giraffes, to enter the area as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Humans also frolicked in the rain pools, as depicted in rock art from Southwest Egypt.  In the more southern Sudanese Sahara, lush vegetation, hearty trees, and permanent freshwater lakes persisted over millennia. There were even large rivers, such as the Wadi Howar, once the largest tributary to the Nile from the Sahara.  "Wildlife included very demanding species such as elephants, rhinos, hippos, crocodiles, and more than 30 species of fish up to 2 meters (6 feet) big," Kroepelin told LiveScience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.livescience.com/history/060720_sahara_rains.html"&gt;Click HERE for Full Story&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16532995-115354842129154579?l=lowgrowls.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16532995/posts/default/115354842129154579'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16532995/posts/default/115354842129154579'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lowgrowls.blogspot.com/2006/07/rapid-and-abrupt-climate-change.html' title='Rapid and Abrupt Climate Change'/><author><name>G</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12843606107240208935</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16532995.post-115324800944868257</id><published>2006-07-18T13:35:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2006-07-18T13:42:10.840-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Britain Sizzles</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Temperatures across Britain are set to beat holiday resorts such as Ibiza and the Canary Islands today as the glorious weather continues across England and Wales.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unbroken sunshine and temperatures up to 33 degrees Celsius (91F) have been recorded in west London and an unbearable 47C (117F) on the capital's transport networks.

Oh pleeezzz don't hurt the chickens.  Just what does Claudia Barnes eat?  I'll bet it's something that has been killed... oh how awful!!   OK folks, read this news article and be very afraid of the lunacy run amok amongst us.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;COMMERCE CITY - Some residents are up in arms over what a new grocery store plans to do with its poultry.  California-based Liborio Markets, a Latino-based grocery store, is branching out to Colorado.  Eight stores in all are planned for the state, the first one to be called Rancho Liborio in Commerce City.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The store, scheduled to open July 30, is talking with the U.S. Department of Health and the Tri-County Health Department, seeking approval to bring in live chickens that will be killed at the store.  "We are proposing to have live poultry processed here at the store," said owner, Anthony Trujillo. "It's just live poultry that's processed in the back that has no access to the store."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trujillo says about 150 chickens a day would be brought to the store in climate-controlled trucks, where they're then unloaded into a climate-controlled room in the back.  Every morning, the chickens are given a fatal electric shock, de-feathered, cleaned, cut, and put on the shelves. Trujillo says no live chickens remain in the back for more than five hours.  "There is no butchering or slaughtering whatsoever," said Trujillo. "It's a sophisticated state-of-the-art technology."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, nearby residents, like Claudia Barnes, don't like the idea at all.  "We're just appalled," she said. "If they want to do this in the privacy of their home, I don't care. But we're just opening up a keg of worms if this happens."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.9news.com/acm_news.aspx?OSGNAME=KUSA&amp;IKOBJECTID=7fbadd8a-0abe-421a-0038-a6bafae67dfa&amp;TEMPLATEID=4525fe63-ac1f-02d8-002a-f131478a1f55"&gt;Source:  Link Here to read the story&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16532995-115323372817170498?l=lowgrowls.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16532995/posts/default/115323372817170498'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16532995/posts/default/115323372817170498'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lowgrowls.blogspot.com/2006/07/patients-are-running-asylum.html' title='The Patients Are Running the Asylum'/><author><name>G</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12843606107240208935</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16532995.post-115319574826595819</id><published>2006-07-17T22:59:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2006-07-18T09:43:30.173-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Rocks are Alive</title><content type='html'>Here's another gem from (of all places) Pravda.  You recall that 'scary' newspaper from the 'evil empire' of the Soviet Union don't you?  Look what kind of articles they're running (&lt;a href="http://english.pravda.ru/science/earth/12-07-2006/83225-stones-0"&gt;the link to the whole article&lt;/a&gt;):   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;French geologists Arnold Rheshar and Pierre Escollet have long studied rock specimens collected in different parts of the world. They arrived at quite an amazing conclusion in the end. They believed that stones have some kind of a vital activity though a very slow one. The geologists maintain the structure of stones is subject to changes, and stones can grow old. Moreover, the French claim stones can breathe, to a certain extent. Taking one “breath” takes them from three days to two weeks. And each of their “heartbeats” lasts about three days. The scientists say they gathered photographic evidence clearly indicating that stones could move. The pictures of stones were taken at large intervals. One of the stones is reported to have moved for 2.5 centimeters in two weeks’ time. The geologists stubbornly maintain that stones are living organisms though some physical processes relating to earth shove or water impact seem to be the most likely reasons behind the phenomenon.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, OK, I'll play along.  I picked up a few rocks from my garden and smashed them with my geologist hammer.  French Scientist Dudes, I have bad news for you.  I found no little stony legs, no little rocky hearts, no tiny little stone lungs - just dust and some gravel.  The rock never even tried to run away.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have to wonder just how these "geologists" figured that rocks breath?  And as far as stones moving under their own power...  dudes, DUDES!  You must ease up on the LSD.  It's just not good for you.  For your own sanity, please, just step away from the glue and stop sniffing it.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And to think, this was in Pravda.

Try bringing this up next time you're out to dinner.  Ask: "Who built the moon?" No really... try it.  Then see if the goon squad with the padded truck doesn't show up real quick to pack you away to the looney bin.    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's a fellow that's spent a goodly amount of time writing a book that asks the question: who built the moon.  Of course, off hand, I can think of an even more mysterious question:  who built the monkeys that just flew out of my butt?  Hey... might as well.  They're both on the same intellectual level.  Only there's one difference.  I didn't waste a year of my life and 200 trees worth of paper to spring that question on humanity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This book, aptly named &lt;u&gt;Who Built the Moon&lt;/u&gt; poses such a question - and it took 64,000 words to ask.  The author, Christopher Knight, has actually consumed valuable resources in a vain attempt to convince us that perhaps the "boogeyman" built the moon.  Perhaps it was even on a Saturday morning.  And of course he somehow suspects (without a single micron of scientific evidence) that perhaps the moon is hollow.  Yeah, that's it.  And it's probably filled with candy, or radishes, or creme cheese, or yogurt perhaps.  And what a construction project.  The labor contracts were immense, right?  Yeah... and I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is an example of an utter disregard for thousands of years of scientific method and knowledge.  More appropriately, this is the kind of insane wild thoughtless fantasy that results from too many drugs, or sniffing too much glue.  Really, I can't think why anyone would even contemplate wasting their time like this. And then, most amazingly, trying to waste other peoples time while charging them money. And worse... why anyone would actually BUY THIS BOOK.  Well, as Mr. Barnam said long ago: "there's a sucker born every minute".  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And for those that actually bought this book...  I have a special secret message for you.  Shhhhhh...  be very quiet.  Here it is:  "send me money to pay the Sorgoshians off or they will shut the moon down, pack it up, and move it to the Vegan system.   Hurry!!!

In the most systematic analysis to date of recent changes in forest fire activity, Anthony Westerling, Hugo Hidalgo and Dan Cayan of Scripps Oceanography, along with Tom Swetnam of the University of Arizona, compiled a database of recent large western wildfires since 1970 and compared it with climate and land-surface data from the region.  The results show that large wildfire activity increased "suddenly and dramatically" in the 1980s with longer wildfire seasons and an increased number and more potent wildfires.   The new findings, published in the July 6 issue of Science Express (the advance online version of the printed journal Science), point to climate change, not fire suppression policies and forest accumulation, as the primary driver of recent increases in large forest fires. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.terradaily.com/reports/Warming_Climate_Plays_Large_Role_In_Western_US_Wildfires_999.html"&gt;News link&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rubbish!  And I suppose if I burp three times, that too is a by product of the so called mythological Al Gore GLOBAL WARMING.   To explain just how BOGUS this manic news is, let me analyse.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First:  the article states that "Oceanographers" did this study of the climate and forest. Might as well use metallurgists or geologists. Close enough right? Wrong.&lt;br /&gt;Second: Spring comes a bit earlier so that means fires?  Give me a break.  All it means more stupid people tossing out cigarettes, not putting out campfires, being careless, or setting fires on purpose (recall some terrorists thought this was a good idea), or even a biut more lightning earlier on.  Not ONE iota of a LINK to the so called Global Warming.  Third: The study only goes back to the 70's.  1970's...  talk about a thin slice of a study meaning absolutely NOTHING.  And these guys DARE call themselves scientists?  Add some more factors:  more people since the 70's, more cars since the 70's, more idiots since the 70's.  Duh...  And never mind that forestry companies are not allowed to cut like they did prior to the 70's.  All the conditions for increased fires.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But of course... that could NEVER BE.  It just HAS TO BE global warming, right?  Idiots.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16532995-115255485718987461?l=lowgrowls.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16532995/posts/default/115255485718987461'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16532995/posts/default/115255485718987461'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lowgrowls.blogspot.com/2006/07/mantra-its-all-fault-of-global-warming.html' title='Mantra: Its all the fault of Global Warming'/><author><name>G</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12843606107240208935</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16532995.post-115254444559540701</id><published>2006-07-10T09:43:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2006-07-10T10:51:51.713-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Bees in his head</title><content type='html'>&lt;font size=2&gt; Here is a lovely news article...   Not only does this article waste hard drive space, it takes up bandwidth, wastes YOUR time, is a demonstrated waste of Mr. Ted Anderson's time (when he could be contributing something useful to humanity), but a &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;NEWS&lt;/span&gt; reporter named Haeck actually wasted his time researching and reporting this.  And here we are reading this garbage on the Coast to Coast web site.  Add in their web meister's "lost time" publishing this, and it all adds up to lots of wasted time and energy.  Is this &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;smart&lt;/span&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&lt;font size="2" color="#CC6600"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is There A UFO Freeway Above Earth?&lt;br /&gt;August 27, 2005 By Corwin Haeck&lt;br /&gt;SKAGIT COUNTY - "We are not alone."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;UFO buffs have been saying so for decades. But now a Mount Vernon man says you don't have to believe in aliens. You can see their ships any night of the week with your own eyes.  Ted Anderson says 50 miles above the earth, there's a veritable UFO expressway he calls the UFO Freeway Portal Location.  "Myself and thousands of friends have been watching it since 1968," says Anderson. "Motherships come from other worlds to drop off their planetary ships to come to Earth."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where are they from? What's their purpose? Anderson can only speculate.  "This is a security force created by some super being organization or civilization."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He believes these ships are standing guard, literally protecting us from hostile aliens. And he says if you get out of the city and gaze up south of the Big Dipper, you can see the ships for yourself with the naked eye.   "These red ships, they're there constantly." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.komotv.com/news/printstory.asp?id=38802 &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm thinking someone needs to check the water supply and pronto.  Apparently Mr. Anderson is mistaking stars for UFOs.  Get outside more often dude!    "Motherships come from other worlds to drop off planetary ships here", he says.  Well, maybe they're interstellar &lt;i&gt;garbage trucks&lt;/i&gt;, you moron.  Hahahaha!!!  And they're dumping right over your head, onto your house, because they know you are so feeble minded that you will mistake them for 'friendly and protective'.  Oh pleeeeez...  give me a break! And just &lt;i&gt;who&lt;/i&gt; told you about this since you can only watch it from 50 miles below?  The little voices in your head perhaps?       &lt;/font size=2&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16532995-115254444559540701?l=lowgrowls.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16532995/posts/default/115254444559540701'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16532995/posts/default/115254444559540701'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lowgrowls.blogspot.com/2006/07/bees-in-his-head.html' title='Bees in his head'/><author><name>G</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12843606107240208935</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16532995.post-115227955057634990</id><published>2006-07-07T08:38:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2006-07-07T08:39:10.590-05:00</updated><title type='text'>The DUH! Vinci Code</title><content type='html'>The Da Vinci Code... don't get me started.  In proper perspective, this is the title of a fiction novel.  Nothing more, nothing less.  Yet in some quarters and vacant mental backyards, this fiction novel has reached an odd level of authenticity. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It cannot be denied that this book (and the ideas within) has reached a high level of popularity.   Some commentators have been generous with their analysis (The Individualist Code by Stephen Cox,&lt;a href="http://mises.org/story/2232"&gt; http://mises.org/story/2232&lt;/a&gt; ) explaining that the concept is popular because "people have an instinct for liberty, an instinct that urges them to rebel against institutions".  Therefore, this line of thought continues, this Da Vinci Code thing supports their rebelion against an established institution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rubbish, I say.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My initial impression is that when a F-I-C-T-I-O-N novel takes on attributes of authenticity with the reading audience, I begin to wonder about the mental capacities of that reading audience.  Sure, they can follow along with the words: "See Judy run, run Judy run".  But 'comprehension' must have sprouted wings and flew right out of their butts.  And does this surprise me?  No.  Not in a society that lags behind most all other "first world" countries in our education. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Am I wrong?  No.  Stand on the sidewalk and start asking passing teens:  where Chile is ("in the bowl, dude, with crackers on top"), who the current Secretary of State is, is global warming real, what is the cubic space of a 10' by 18' by 20'  room, what is the Sherman Act?  You'll get the picture.  Almost half of all college undergraduates require remedial writing classes should they go on to Graduate studies. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My final major impression is (here is where I agree with Mr. Cox) that there is a dwindling in numbers of those that understand and prescribe to Christianity.  A vacuum exists and along comes The Da Vinci Code to fill in some gaps. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In my opinion, both of these impressions indicate that America has slipped on the big banana peel of life and we're heading for a painful fall.  History may well remember us as going the way of the barbarians - as they gnaw at us from within.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16532995-115227955057634990?l=lowgrowls.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16532995/posts/default/115227955057634990'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16532995/posts/default/115227955057634990'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lowgrowls.blogspot.com/2006/07/duh-vinci-code.html' title='The DUH!

Among them is Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a lawyer and environmentalist who is a host on the Air America Radio network.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=46059&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Three thoughts come to my mind. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Number One:  Since when is a lawyer a scientist?  Answer: They aren't.   Hahaha.  Kennedy must have graduated from the "Al Gore School of Foolish Science".  Remember, Al Gore, that failed lawyer who never even passed his bar exam?  The guy that wrote the book "Earth in the Balance" which started this global warming nonsense.  And, that was just after he invented the internet.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Number Two:  Wouldn't it be grand if people really DID have this kind of power...?  I can see it now.  In a deep rumbling echoing voice:  "I conjur up a storm to destroy...  destroy...   ah... hmmm, lets see...  New Orleans.   Yes, that's it, New Orleans!"    Yeah.. right!    And finally...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Number Three:   Knowing that weatherpeople and their supercomputers cannot even accurately predict the weather for tomorrow, how in the hell are they supposedly able to predict whole global climates in even the next year or two?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think of this:  If global warming is supposedly happening, and it's George Bush's fault, then explain to me how it is that the Earth has gone through over half a dozen FREEZING (think glaciers) and STEAMING events in the past - LONG BEFORE GEORGE BUSH and the SUV? That's right! Yep, you win a cigar if you scratch your head and realize that there are NATURAL CYCLES on this windy planet that have nothing to do with GEORGE BUSH, the Republicans, or the SUV. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As they say in the mid-west (about the weather from year to year):  "It is".&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16532995-115213289391724380?l=lowgrowls.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16532995/posts/default/115213289391724380'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16532995/posts/default/115213289391724380'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lowgrowls.blogspot.com/2006/07/bush-to-blame-for-katrina.html' title='Bush to Blame for Katrina'/><author><name>G</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12843606107240208935</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16532995.post-115185163821508195</id><published>2006-07-02T09:45:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2006-07-02T09:52:48.346-05:00</updated><title type='text'>America to pay for damaged Gaza power station</title><content type='html'>Something is very wrong.

You may reference his web site here:  http://www.loststarbook.com/.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first three thoughts that occured to me are (in this order): 1) Is this fiction?  2) I didn't know we needed an explanation for the precession of the equinox (I thought we had that one solved decades ago), and finally, 3) of the millions of things that lead to cycles in the ages of humanity, I wonder why he needs to cook up an extremely exotic and potentially unlikely one?   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bottom line theory here is that precession and cycles in humanity are themes that resonate through history.  OK, so right off the bat, the theory is already painfully obvious and nothing new to anyone with a decent education.  What makes the difference here, as postulated by the author, is that these events are actually caused by a hidden sister star to our own sun.  "Golly", I think to myself, "yet another variation of the 'twin Earth hidden behind our sun' theory...  goodie goodie, this ought to be a laugh."  Yet, the author is serious.  He is not intending this to be a work of fiction.  I then wonder aloud, "he has credentials to back up his research, right?"   Well... the author claims he is (and I kid you not) an "Amateur Theoretical Archaeo-Astronomer".  Gulp! What the hell is that, I ponder?  I guess the self-made title gives it all away with the inclusion of the word 'amateur', topped off with the use of 'theoretical'.  In the same light, I myself am an "Amateur Theoretical Brain Surgeon", yet they just won't let me in the operating room at the local hospital for some reason.  Why won't they believe me?  Maybe I should drive down to the county courthouse, stroll into an ongoing trial, and announce loudly that (Hey everyone!!)  I am an "Amateur Theoretical Lawyer and I am here with the answers".  How far do you think I would get before security handcuffs me and escorts me from the building?  I am laughing out loud now.  This IS a farce.  Then, to add to the fanciful nature of all this, the author (remember, the archaeo-astronomer?) reveals his background has been 'banking'.  You know... money?  "What", I exclaim in shock, "He does not have any science education? No BS in physics or astronomy, no masters, no PhD, no published papers?"  No, but he does have an interest in astronomy. Yes, and I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night too.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The whole idea here is that some mysterious binary star (that has somehow escaped the attention of every astrophysicist, astronomer, and scientist on Earth throughout all history, to include NASA and every freakin' university that teaches any science or is involved with research) swings in every so often and shakes things up a bit.  And, well, we're supposed to believe that Mr. Banker here has discovered why (because all those other scholarly ideas and studies throughout the ages are just plain lacking, right?) precession exists and why there are cycles in the long ages of humanity.  It's that doggone binary star... that's all, right?  So, we have another junior "Hoagland" here.  A ton of fanciful ideas but NO science background, NO experience, NO references.  Nothing.  And I repeat in loud words: NOTHING that jives with anything having to do with even ONE single scientist in the WHOLE WORLD. But, a fanciful story, I have to grant.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The problem with this kind of thinking is that these folks can makeup whatever they want and always find enough gullable people to believe it.  Would you like me to direct you to all the necessary links that will unveil this stuff as pure bull hockey   ?  Well, I won't because then I will have done WHAT YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO DO, for you. You need to get off your fat dumb lazy ass and start looking up, questioning, and learning about the world for yourself instead of fallng for this kind of garbage this gentleman is dishing out.  It's ALL out there...  available to you right now.  Hey, start looking for yourself.   Usually the best place to start is &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;NOT&lt;/span&gt; the internet (why? because it is so littered with garbage and pseudo-everything that it is hard to tell what is real and what isn't).  So guess where good sources are?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Try COLLEGE.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hey, even the LIBRARY is terrific.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But yeah... they're probably ALL lying huh?  Through out all the decades, all the schools, and all the professors in the schools... and Mr. "digital-star amateur archaeo whatever" guy is right.  Huh?  Yeah, OK...  I have a bridge to sell you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, the icing on the cake.  This guy takes himself so seriously, he goes out and  founds (my own term would be 'thunk up') a "Conference on Precession and Ancient Knowledge", then he stars in it as a guest speaker.

I have your ancient knowledge... right here!!!   http://www.loststarbook.com/author.shtml&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16532995-112864212664454585?l=lowgrowls.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16532995/posts/default/112864212664454585'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16532995/posts/default/112864212664454585'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lowgrowls.blogspot.com/2005/10/lost-star-of-myth-and-time.html' title='The Lost Star of Myth and Time'/><author><name>G</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12843606107240208935</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16532995.post-112636124167891563</id><published>2005-09-10T08:57:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2005-09-10T09:38:26.863-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Katrina fuels global warming storm?</title><content type='html'>Lest we forget, hurricanes are a natural event.  They occur every year, every hurricane season (hey... they even named it "hurricane season", what a surprise.)  Some are big, some are little.  Some strike land, some wander off to sea.  Some kill thousands, some kill none.  It has always been that way, it will always be that way (until we have effective ways to secure the safety and a measure of common sense in our fellow citizens).  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As expected, there is the typical, irrational, knee-jerk reaction amongst the more weak-minded of us, the less educated, those of us with a political agenda, and those of us with long term memory deficit issues (like, longer than a year).  The fragmented reasoning goes like this:  "Katrina was a big hurricane, a mean one.  It targeted black people and could have been prevented if George Bush would have signed the Kyoto Treaty to stop global warming."  Back to that again huh?  That Kyoto "politicalese" again.  Well folks, here's a couple of facts.  Mull over these records: &lt;a href="http://www.enjoy.org/hstech/thinkquest03/NaturalDisasters/hurricanes4.html"&gt;Natural Disasters&lt;/a&gt;.  Big disasterous hurricanes are nothing new.  Did you know (of course you don't) that the 1886 hurricane season has been analyzed to be the busiest on record for the continental United States: &lt;a href="http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/hurdat/index.html"&gt;NOAA Analysis&lt;/a&gt;. Uh oh... that was before SUV's!  As far as the most deadly... did you know the worst killer hurricane was the Galveston Hurricane of 1900? &lt;a href="http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/HAW2/english/history.shtml"&gt;History&lt;/a&gt;.  That was a full hundred years ago, long before George Bush.  Sorry, scalar waves projectors, thought rays, and HAARP weren't around then (better don your tin foil hats now!).  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So... what is different?  I can tell you.  1) Everyone, everywhere is now a virtual reporter.  The internet and communications networks join all of us in real time.  2) Our 24 hours a day news services relish sensational news and may be prone to embellishment - for the ratings.  3) Weather has become political.  4) Everyone can have a say on the internet; there is no fact checker censoring the flood of nonsense spewing out of our computer monitors.  Additionally, people are posing as "experts" when they really have no credentials, or experience, to speak of. 5) Our educational system has been failing this country.  Generally speaking, our capacity to think rationally has been diminishing.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Add it all up.  What used to be a "big storm" during hurrican season has now turned into a racist (targets blacks), evil (caused by George Bush), man created (either global warming, scalar beams, Japanese Mafia, HAARP.. take your pick), most horrendous killer in history (faulty memory/no knowledge of history, take your pick).    &lt;br /&gt;Are we devolving or what?!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, do a little fact checking: &lt;a href="http://www.usatoday.com/weather/hurricane/history/hurricanes-strongest.htm"&gt;Strongest Hurricanes&lt;/a&gt;.  Since it is difficult for some to say this, I will.  Hurricanes are: NOT caused by George Bush.  NOT caused buy the alleged global warming. NOT caused by scalar beams from Japanese Mafia (hahahaha, that one is a riot). NOT caused by God to punish certain people.  NOT caused by HAARP.  NOT caused by elves.  NOT caused by Satan.  NOT caused by SUVs.  NOT caused by big business.  NOT caused by the alleged chemtrails (hahaha thats even funnier than all of them).  Have I covered them all yet?  Hurricanes ARE a weather phenomena.  End of story.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16532995-112636124167891563?l=lowgrowls.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16532995/posts/default/112636124167891563'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16532995/posts/default/112636124167891563'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lowgrowls.blogspot.com/2005/09/katrina-fuels-global-warming-storm.html' title='Katrina fuels global warming storm?'/><author><name>G</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12843606107240208935</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16532995.post-112623947516767107</id><published>2005-09-08T23:17:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2005-09-09T08:02:08.853-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Weather Report for the Dead</title><content type='html'>Sylvia Browne, in her book &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Life on the Other Side&lt;/span&gt; and on the George Noory "Coast To Coast" radio program addresses just this question.  She says (with a straight face I assume) that "There is no precipitation on The Other Side, no rain, no snow, sleet or hail. There is no wind stronger than an occasional gentle breeze," and the temperature is an eternal 78 degrees.  And no one ever has to worry about floods, tornados or any type of weather disruption. She also notes that the sun, moon and stars are not visible but the light is a "constant blend of soft, reassuring pastels" like a vibrant summer dawn or dusk."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Great... now we have weather forecasts from the dead, from the Other Side.  My first question might be, "Well, how hot does it get in Hell, in the summer?"  Oh sure, further complications.  Notice that Sylvia doesn't address that issue but merely refers  to her startling predictions as coming from the OTHER side.  How non-denominational, thanks! Might she be trying to say that hell, or heaven, or nirvana, or pergatory, or other "belief system places" don't exist?  That there is merely the "other" side?   Wow... with that kind of omnipotent viewing powers one wonders why Sylvia has to waste her time writing silly books for a living.  My second question might be, "Hey, what if I don't like reassuring pastels but prefer bold hues   instead?"  Well, the afterlife, in Sylvia's authoritative statement simply will not be accomodating to me.  I'd be in hell.  She sure is amazing!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will try to be gentle here.  Let's just say that extraordinary claims (like claiming to see what the weather is like in the afterlife or claiming that there IS weather in the afterlife) better come up with some better PROOF than "I saw it in a dream", or "Because I know".  Lets see a picture taken with an afterlife camera. Or how about a "Travel Guide to The Other Side" with annual highs and lows listed for the past 5 years.  Hahahahahahahaha...   OK, I will not try to be gentle, because I do not subscribe to political correctness.  The woman is NUTS.  And, should you be inclined to want to believe Sylvia then I have some news for you.  Ready?  I too know what the weather is like on the Other Side and I can assure you that Sylvia is lying.  There is no air.  There is a bright blisteringly hot star baking everyone to carbon and it only rains in Tuesdays.  And guess what... I can even draw pictures of it.  What?!  You don't believe me?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well then...  why would you want to believe Sylvia then?         &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I could understand that people are "wishing" for a peaceful afterlife, and nice weather fits into that well.  But for someone to say, "Yeah, been there, done that. Weathers fine, how about a dip after lunch?", is enough to make me want to slap her face of insanity with my hand of reason.  And, there should be some shame heaped onto the Coast to Coast radio show for 1) allowing nut cases to babble on the air  2) giving inferred credibility to these nut cases by allowing them to come on the air.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No proof, not even an inkling of proof, nothing but imagination run amok - so prove me wrong!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16532995-112623947516767107?l=lowgrowls.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16532995/posts/default/112623947516767107'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16532995/posts/default/112623947516767107'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lowgrowls.blogspot.com/2005/09/weather-report-for-dead.html' title='Weather Report for the Dead'/><author><name>G</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12843606107240208935</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry></feed>
