Once again I have made more notes than I have ideas for posts so keeping if my tradition I am posting the ones that did not make it into a full blown post…….
1–This is as sick as the teacher that got 30 days in jail for raping a student…..
An Iowa pastor who was arrested on 60 counts of suspected sexual exploitation of minors got zero jail time.
The pastor, Brent Girouex, believed that praying while having sex with the boys would cure them of being gay. He’s admitted to having sex with four boys, but at least eight have come forward.
Girouex attempt to cure one boy between 25 and 100 times.
2–Did you know that Pope Gregory III (731-741) was born in Syria……..
3–The Voyager 1 has officially become the first man-made object to cross out of the solar system and into interstellar space—no, really this time. After a series of mistaken and controversial reports, NASA today published a study concluding that the probe definitively crossed the threshold of charged particles and magnetic fields that marks the edge of the Sun’s influence sometime last August, Space.com reports. Researchers figured that out based on measurements Voyager recorded from a recent solar eruption. “We literally jumped out of our seats,” the lead researcher says. “Voyager has boldly gone where no probe has gone before, marking one of the most significant technological achievements in the annals of the history of science,” NASA’s science chief boasted in a statement. “Perhaps some future deep-space explorers will catch up with Voyager, our first interstellar envoy, and reflect on how this intrepid spacecraft helped enable their future.”
4–whatever happened to those ads for “restless leg syndrome” and the meds for it?
5–Here is an idea—-Google is getting involved in life and we could use thgeir help….they have a driver-less car, Google glasses, etc…….do you think that their Brainiacs could come uo with an adequate algorithm for productive Congress?
6–Who will be the next major celebrity meltdown? Beiber or Cyrus?
7– If you hear a dull roar, it’s probably just the collective scream of science buffs the world over. NASA’s Curiosity rover has found water in Mars’ soil, and the BBC describes it as a “surprising amount.” The find occurred at the hands of Curiosity, which scooped up a bit of dirt, heated it to 1535 degrees Fahrenheit, and found about 2% of that soil, by weight, was H2O, bound to other minerals. The news came from a series of five papers published in Science yesterday, and it’s knowledge future astronauts can make real use of. “If you think about a cubic foot of this dirt and you just heat it a little bit—a few hundred degrees—you’ll actually get off about two pints of water—like two water bottles you’d take to the gym,” explains Curiosity researcher Laurie Leshin. And it’s not just the amount, but the extent, that’s interesting: “This dirt on Mars … seems to be about the same everywhere you go,” says Leshin, meaning those astronauts could “quite easily extract water from almost anywhere.” But Gizmodo shares a bit of a buzzkill. “We didn’t find evidence of organic molecules in the soil. So, this doesn’t have a very big bearing on the life on Mars discussion,” Leshin explains. And the Guardian has a warning for those future visitors: The soil they’d be exposed to also contains perchlorate, which hinders thyroid function.
8–If this was the UK we could dissolve a dysfunctional Congress and start over….maybe we should consider a change……..
9–I had rather hear 1000 Miley Cyrus stories than one more piece of crap about the royals and that darn baby!
My daughter always sez…..”must be Hell inside your mind”……….she has no idea…….
All this is from my mind to yours…….
