New Kennedy Assasination Theory.....?!?

Kennedy, just moments before the self-generated cranium-shattering heard around the world.

New Theories Suggest Kennedy Wasn't Shot


DALLAS—A controversial new book about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy has raised questions not about the role of a lone gunman or a conspiracy of shooters, but about whether the late president was even even shot at all.

While the book, Outside the Crosshairs, does not dispute the fact that a massive portion of Kennedy's skull was separated from his head during the 1963 Dallas visit, it maintains that the president suffered fatal explosive- cranial trauma through means completely unrelated to gunshots.

"Certainly extreme force was involved in this tragic death," said Dr. Horace Musashi, the book's author and a professor of computer science at Mount Union College in Alliance, OH. "However, none of the available photographs or recorded footage provides even a shred of evidence that an actual bullet did anything to Kennedy's body. As scientists, therefore, we must consider all other possibilities, no matter how much they challenge the status quo."

Musashi himself favors an explanation known as the single-massive-spike-in-blood-pressure theory.

After 11 years of painstaking research, Musashi uncovered testimony from anonymous eyewitnesses who claimed that unopened packets of duck sauce and soy sauce were hastily removed from Air Force One after the assassination. According to the book's findings, the extremely high levels of monosodium glutamate combined with the stress of mediating an intense international ballistic-missile crisis caused Kennedy's systolic pressure to mount to the point where the right rear quarter of his cranium "shot clean off."

WHY MOSES WANDERED IN THE DESERT FOR FORTY YEARS: He Lost the Map!



SINAI PENINSULA — Sometime around the year 1340 B.C., this little patch of sun-baked land was the setting for one of the most heroic escapes in the annals of mankind: the Exodus of the Hebrew people from Egypt.

“After Moses led the people of Israel from Egypt, they wandered in the Sinai desert for forty years,” said Rabbi Zalman Schmotkin-Fisher of the Moses Studies Institute. “It’s long been a mystery exactly how the Hebrews could have remained lost for so many years in an area approximately the size of Arizona. Why hadn’t the Lord shown them the way?”

Now, an archaeological dig on the shores of the Red Sea proves that God did show Moses the way.

“A parchment map was found in a sealed urn not far from the remains of an Egyptian chariot,” said Rabbi Schmotkin-Fisher. “We surmise that Moses dropped it in the rush to get across the Red Sea before the parted waters came back together.

“It was etched by I Am’s own flaming finger, plainly mapping the way to the Promised Land. Remarkably, had they followed the Lord’s route, the trek would have taken the Israelites about a month, tops.”

“This explains so much,” Rabbi Schmotkin-Fisher said, “especially why God didn’t let Moses enter the Promised Land.

“You know how angry your wife gets when you won’t pull over and ask for directions?” the rabbi asked. “Imagine how irate the Almighty gets when you pull the same thing on Him!”

OH MY GOD...HOT OFF THE PRESS...WE HAVE TO VOTE FOR HIM...!!!!!!

MOTHER NATURE ENDORSES GORE FOR PRESIDENT!


WASHINGTON, D.C. — Former Vice President Al Gore has been endorsed for President — by Mother Nature herself!

“Al Gore will be our next president, if I have anything to say about it,” Mother Nature told Weekly World News. “More than any other non-candidate, Mr. Gore has shown that he has the planet’s best interests at heart. I mean, who else could take a power point presentation and turn it into an Academy Award-winning film about global warming?

“I backed Gore in 2000, and we all know what happened then,” Mother Nature said. “I’m not making any threats, but need I remind Florida at the onset of hurricane season — it’s not wise to fool Mother Nature twice?”

Stupid Joke of the Day

While going through his wife's dresser drawers, a farmer discovered three soybeans and an envelope containing $30 in cash. The farmer confronted his wife, and when asked about the curious items, she confessed:

"Over the years, I haven't been completely faithful to you."

"When I did fool around, I put a soybean in the drawer to remind myself of my indiscretion," she explained.

The farmer admitted that he had not always been faithful either, and therefore, was inclined to forgive and forget her few moments of weakness.

"I'm curious though," he said, "Where did the thirty dollars come from?"

"Oh that, " his wife replied, "Well, when soybeans hit ten dollars a bushel, I sold out!"

Panel Finds Astronauts Flew While Intoxicated


Jul 26, 2007

A panel reviewing astronaut health issues in the wake of the Lisa Nowak arrest has found that on at least two occasions astronauts were allowed to fly after flight surgeons and other astronauts warned they were so intoxicated that they posed a flight-safety risk.

The panel, also reported "heavy use of alcohol" by astronauts before launch, within the standard 12-hour "bottle to throttle" rule applied to NASA flight crew members.

Grim Rea-Purr: The Cat that can Predict Death

As Featured in the New England Journal Of Medicine......(some people believe everything they publish......((me....I'm more skeptical unlike Miggy G.) )...Ha Ha .....

The Death Cat

OSCAR the cat makes his grand entrances just as life is about to leave.

A hop onto the bed, a fastidious lick of the paws, then a snuggle beside a nursing home patient with little time left. Oscar's purr, when keeping close company with the dying, is so intense it is almost a low rumble.

"He's a cat with an uncanny instinct for death," said David Dosa, assistant professor at the Brown University School of Medicine and a geriatric specialist. "He attends deaths. He's pretty insistent on it."

In the two years since Oscar was adopted into the dementia unit of the Steere House Nursing and Rehabilitation Centre in Providence he has maintained close vigil over the deaths of more than 25 patients, nursing staff and doctors say.

Dr Dosa had an essay on Oscar published yesterday in The New England Journal of Medicine.

Producers: `Cavemen' Not Racial Metaphor

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) - The producers of ABC's new "Cavemen" said Wednesday the comedy is much more than the insurance company commercials that inspired it, but isn't designed to be an ambitious allegory about race.

Geico's TV spots show highly evolved but shaggy-looking cavemen chafing at misconceptions about their sophistication and intelligence. The series, debuting Oct. 2, follows another trio of Cro-Magnons facing prejudice as they try to fit in contemporary society.

"We knew we'd be under a lot of scrutiny" adapting the Geico concept to a series, producer Will Speck said. "But I think it just makes our job a little harder."

There was no intention to have the Cro-Magnons represent any minority group, said his colleague, Josh Gordon.

"We're aware that the pilot (episode) seems to lean a little bit more in that direction. But in the episodes that we're coming up with now, we never saw them as, again, a stand-in for one group," Gordon said.

Remeber the SAT's....To some of us it seems like yesterday.....

SAT score decay
As we all know SAT scores have been on the decline for years.
The following may be the reason why.


A math problem in the 60's
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of
production is four-fifths of this
price. What is his profit?

A math problem in the 70's
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of
production is four-fifths of this
price, or $80. What is his profit?

A math problem in the 70's using New Math
A logger exchanges a set L of lumber for a set M of money.
The cardinality of set M is 100,
and each element is worth $1. Make 100 dots representing
the elements of set M. The set C of
the cost of production contains 20 fewer points than set M,
and answer the following question:
What is the cardinality of the set P of profits?

A math problem in the 80's
A logger sells a truckload of wood for $100. His cost of
production is $80, and his profit is
$20. Your assignment: underline the number 20.

A math problem in the 90's under Outcome Based Education.
By cutting down beautiful forest trees, a logger makes $20.

Sources: Barista Not Actually Flirting With You

SAN FRANCISCO—Though she greets you every morning with a smile, sometimes chats with you, and makes sure the chocolate syrup is evenly distributed throughout your mocha, Starbucks barista Molly Sopel is in truth not flirting with you, and is instead simply a pleasant person and conscientious employee, coffeeshop sources reported Monday.

"The best part about Molly is that she laughs and talks with everyone," said manager Mike Dezort, who confirmed that Sopel asks if you want room for milk as a courtesy, and not because of the physical attraction you think exists between the two of you. "I always overhear her calling customers sweetie, which people seem to like."

A Starbucks regular who frequently watches you order from Sopel is reportedly "shocked" that you still haven't realized that she only calls you by your first name when you pay with your debit card.

New Computer Stretches.....so relax your muscles.....

SOME COMPUTER STRETCHES


When you are stiff and sore from sitting at your computer for long

We know we shouldn't sit for too long without taking a break to
stretch and move around, but we forget, and then pay for it at the
end of the day. In order to prevent chronic back & neck pain,
here are several excellent stretches that are suggested to relieve the
stress.

Senor Taco Breaks world Record....Hey Manuel have another Chalupa on me...!!!!!


At 560 kg, Mexican man weighs into record books

A Mexican tipping the scales at 560 kilograms (1,234 pounds) will be listed as the world's fattest man by the Guinness Book of Records, while a loss of 200 kilos (440 pounds) may make him the man who lost the most weight.

"I'm glad to be in the Guinness Book as the fattest man. I am also happy to have lost 200 kilos," Manuel Uribe, 41, told AFP.

Uribe was able to leave his home in Monterrey, northern Mexico in March aboard a trailer to celebrate his weight loss.

Guinness has recognized his weighty achievement with a glass plaque.

"They gave it to me, I have it in my hands," said Uribe, who founded an organization to help overweight people.

Cops: Man ran over woman with shopping cart at Somers supermarket checkout

SOMERS - Call it a case of shopping-cart rage.

State police said a 45-year-old Dutchess County man became enraged at a 72-year-old woman who was in front of him at the checkout line of the Super Stop & Shop on Route 6 last night and ran her over with his shopping cart.

James Curcio of Hillside Road, Poughquag, continued pushing the shopping cart out the door, despite not paying for the groceries, then beat a retreat in his car, police said.

The 72-year-old woman was treated at Hudson Valley Hospital Center in Cortlandt and released.

A short time after the incident at the store in the Somers Commons Shopping Plaza near the Putnam line, troopers learned that Curcio showed up at the Putnam County Hospital Center, claiming that he was attacked and robbed at the Stop & Shop, police said.Troopers Paul Carinci, Linda Holmes and Timothy Gleason took Curcio into custody at the hospital and charged him with second-degree assault, a felony, and petty larceny, a misdemeanor, for removing $85 worth of groceries from the store, police said

New Titanic Film Told From Iceberg's Point Of View

LOS ANGELES—Director James Cameron told Variety yesterday of his intentions to write and direct the Academy Award–winning Titanic's companion film, Iceberg , which will be told completely from the infamous chunk of frozen water's point of view. "Nobody ever talks about the iceberg's side of the tragic saga—how it formed millions of years ago, eventually became a glacier, then calved off the Arctic ice shelf and floated away into the Atlantic Ocean toward its rendezvous with death," said Cameron, adding that the three hour hour film will begin with the evaporation of liquid water, transition to snow falling and freezing, and include the most expensive gradual ice cap formation sequence ever filmed. "It's a nature vs. man struggle on an epic scale. The world needs to hear this story."

This might be a lot of Bull....But it's a True Story.....


Judge spares bull that's on Moo Tube

LONDON (AP) — A judge on Monday granted a reprieve to Shambo, a sacred bull at a Hindu monastery who had been threatened with slaughter because he is suspected of carrying bovine tuberculosis.

Shambo's plight raised intense arguments about whether public health concerns superseded religious rights. His caretakers at the Skanda Vale monastery in southwestern Wales launched a campaign to save him that included an Internet petition, a blog purportedly giving Shambo's "daily thoughts" and a Webcast called "Moo Tube" that tracked the bull's movements around its hay-filled shrine.

The Hindu Forum of Britain, one of the many groups lobbying to save Shambo, expressed relief at the decision, although the group's spokesman, Sanjay Mistry, acknowledged that Shambo might still be killed.

"I think the judgment is quite strongly in the favor of the temple, and based on that, I think we can be quite confident that at least at this stage that Shambo is safe," he said.

The Welsh government said it would appeal the judgment.

Hindus have long held cows in particularly high regard, and many are adopted by or donated to temples. Shambo is one of a herd of cattle kept on the monastery's 115-acre spread near Carmarthen, in southwestern Wales.

Dynamite-Shaped Object Sparks Evacuation In N.J.


Bomb squad blows up dynamite-shaped toy to keep it from blowing up. .......(I need help with this one...!!!!!)

(CBS News) WEST ORANGE, N.J. An area that included the Edison National Historic Site was evacuated Monday, but what authorities first called a suspicious device turned out to be a novelty item designed to look like two sticks of dynamite attached to an alarm clock, police said.

The object, found around 10:30 a.m. in a pile of household garbage next door to a propane business, was destroyed by the Essex County bomb squad as a precaution, West Orange police spokeswoman Amy Simon said.

"They blew it apart. There was no explosion," Simon said.

It was soon determined that the object -- made of two wooden dowels -- posed no threat, she said.

The device was found in an area that included light industrial businesses and some homes, Simon said.

Evacuations were completed before noon in a region a quarter-mile from the discovery, but people were allowed to return before 1 p.m., she said. The Edison historic site is currently closed for renovations.

John Edwards Looking to Jump Start his Fledging Campaign


First It was his hair, then he promised to end the war.....now Edwards wants to end ALL BAD THINGS........What's next...?????

John Edwards Vows To End All Bad Things By 2011

AMES, IA—In an effort to jump-start a presidential campaign that still has not broken into the top Democratic tier, former Sen. John Edwards made his most ambitious policy announcement yet at a campaign event in Iowa Monday: a promise to eliminate all unpleasant, disagreeable, or otherwise bad things from all aspects of American life by the end of his second year in office.

According to Edwards, his plan is composed of three steps. Everyday bad things, such as curse words and splinters, would be eradicated during his first six months in office. Next, very bad things, including child abduction, soil erosion, and resurgent diseases such as malaria and tuberculosis, would be ended by the the end of 2009. Finally, extremely bad things—plights such as genocide, species extinction, and virtually every form of cancer—would take a full two years to wipe out.

Another Day of Disc Golf....

I was able to meet the Unstoppable Cubby for a few rounds at Manalapan Rec Center (MRC) for 4 Rounds of 9 holes. In Spite of the Horribly humid weather it was a blast playing. We had to stop play when the park Lightning Alarm Warning System went off. Prior to that Cubby had an amazing run of 8 birdies in a row in the comeback 9 holes. Plus he also had a couple of near skip-aces. I played competitively but had to succumb to superior play. I was only sorry we couldn't have played longer.....Thanks Cubby for a great time.........

Maggotx Joke of the Day......


















A 90-year-old man said to his doctor, "I've never felt better. I have an 18-year old bride who is pregnant with my child. What do you think about that?"

The doctor considered his question for a minute and then said, "I have an elderly friend who is a hunter and never misses a season. One day when he was going out in a bit of a hurry, he accidentally picked up his umbrella instead of his gun. When he got to the Creek, he saw a rabbit sitting beside the stream. He raised his umbrella and went, 'bang, bang' and the rabbit fell dead. What do you think of that?"

The 90-year-old said, "I'd say somebody else killed that rabbit."

The doctor replied, "My point exactly."

Runaway Wrecking Ball

MEADVILLE, Pa. -- A wrecking ball wreaked havoc on a small college town in northwest Pennsylvania on Monday.

The 1,500-pound, 3-foot-wide ball broke loose from a crane cable and rolled nearly a mile downhill.

It smashed more than a dozen vehicles and injured three people as it bounced from curb to curb.

The ball slammed into the back of a car stopped at an intersection. The force caused a chain reaction with two other cars at the traffic light.

The driver, an Allegheny College junior, said he thought a car had hit him when his back windshield exploded.

The ball came to rest in the trunk of a car and pushed it nearly 20 feet.

Workers had been using the wrecking ball to demolish part of a library at Allegheny College when the cable snapped.

Ah the Irony!

Internal affairs probes photo of sleeping police captain

TRENTON — Thanks to a camera and the Web, the Trenton Police Department is investigating allegations that Capt. Paul Messina was caught sleeping on the job, police said.

Messina was similarly captured on film back in 2003 allegedly nodding off on the job, but the police department passed it off as a case of Messina being ill.

The Web site says that after the videos were posted on YouTube in early 2004, Messina was disciplined with a counseling form.

The latest images show the captain with the back of his chair reclined against his desk. Messina is turned away from the desk with his eyes clearly closed.

The Web site explains that behind Messina is an AVL computer, which tracks the location of the police force. Also behind the captain is a CPLIMS computer used to monitor all the current and pending assignments.

That computer is black. CaptSleepy.com alleges that it’s in “sleep” mode, in which the screen goes to black due to lack of usage.

The site says the images were taken from a June 24 shift, during which, the site alleges, Messina was working a voluntary overtime assignment — at over $70 an hour.

Hundreds of cell phone customers are being given the boot, accused of being too high maintenance.Sprint-Nextel is disconnecting more than 1,000 subscribers on grounds the clients call customer service too often and make "unreasonable requests."The 1,200 people getting dropped will have to find a new carrier by the end of the month.

In a statement, the company said: "Rather than continue to operate in a situation that was unsatisfactory for Sprint and our subscribers, we chose to terminate our relationship with those customers to allow them to pursue other options."

"I didn't even know you could do that with a contract. That's astonishing," said cell phone user Winston Bryant.The customers told to find a new service provider were notified by mail last month and will not have to pay a termination fee.

This Story Really Bugs me.......







Gardener is a real sex pest

A man who sexually assaulted several women by telling them that he was checking their bottoms for insects has been sentenced to three years probation.

Michael F. Knurr who works as a gardener would scare the women saying he had seen a tick them before touching their posterior and in some cases, pulling their trousers down.

In one case, a woman, 32, called Knurr for an estimate to remove a tree. As they were walking, the victim said that Knurr told her about a tick. She told him to get it off and pulled her shorts down slightly.

She felt a pinch on her left buttock.

He said, "I got it."

She looked at his hand and didn't see a tick, but she thanked him.

He said, "Oh no, it was my pleasure."

In another instance, he told a woman asking about having a tree removed that there was a tick on her, and he put his hand down her pants and groped her buttocks.

Prosecutors think Knurr used the routine on at least 16 women although not all of them were assaulted.

Knurr apologized in court and said he hoped his troubled behaviour was a thing of the past.

He said: "I hope nothing will happen.

"I just want to put this behind me and get on with my life."

Green Flashes at Sunset.....


After the Moon Illusion story I thought I would pass along another interesting Cosmic Phenomena relayed to me by Killieman Mike at work.....the "Green Flash....Mike first heard of this while vacationing in the Florida Keys......Green flashes and green rays are rare optical phenomena that occur shortly after sunset or before sunrise, when a green spot is visible for a short period of time above the sun, or a green ray shoots up from the sunset point.

Green flashes can be observed from any altitude (even from the air). They are usually seen at an unobstructed horizon, such as over the ocean, but are possible over cloud-tops and mountain-top as well.

As stated in the Wikipedia article..

"The reason for a green flash lies in refraction of light (as in a prism) in the atmosphere: light moves more slowly in the lower, denser air than in the thinner air above, so sunlight rays follow paths that curve slightly, in the same direction as the curvature of the Earth. Higher frequency light (green/blue) curves more than lower frequency light (red/orange), so green/blue rays from the upper limb of the setting sun remain visible after the red rays are obstructed by the curvature of the earth. Green flashes are enhanced by atmospheric inversions, which increase the density gradient in the atmosphere, and therefore increase refraction. A green flash is more likely to be seen in clear air, when more of the light from the setting sun reaches the observer without being scattered. We might expect to see a blue flash, but the blue is preferentially scattered out of our line of sight and remaining light ends up looking green.

With slight magnification a green rim on the top limb of the solar disk can be seen on most clear-day sunsets. However the flash or ray effects require a stronger layering of the atmosphere and a mirage which serves to magnify the green for a fraction of a second to a couple of seconds."

Check it out for yourself, and let me know if it works......mag
