Weekly News and Commentary

  • I'm still watching Survivor. This season has been the most entertaining season in a while. They're currently filming the next season in Fiji. At the same time the Fijian military just staged a bloodless coup and replaced the government. Coincidence? I don't think so. Survivor has obviously been subverted by the CIA. We'll have confirmation if they announce a future season of Survivor:Iran.
  • Great news for gadget geeks like me. An enormous study in Denmark shows no link between cell phone use and cancer. 420,095 Danes who started using cell phones between 1982 and 1995 were studied. Their number of people in the group who developed cancer was 14,249, lower than the expected 15,001 cases. (Isn't statistics fun!) 56,000 of them had used cell phones for more than 10 years, and this longer-use sub-group also did not show any increase in cancer risk.
  • The British are working on automated wingmen for their warplanes. This is amazing for so many reasons. I know that Star Wars didn't have drone wingmen, but this seems so much like Star Wars to me.
  • In other British news, Tony Blair tells immigrants to fit in. England has really let a cancer fester in their attempt to be multicultural and sensitive(70 active terrorist plots being investigated). 25% of British Muslims support the 7/7 bus bombings!
  • NASA is planning a moonbase for 2024. I'm not sure why we stopped going to the moon in the first place and I'm thrilled that we're going back. And on to Mars, baby!
  • The children of the Warner Music CEO used P2P software to pirate music. I'm sure that the RIAA will be suing him just like they've sued many others. The good news for him is that all he'll have to do is put up a fight, and they'll back off.
