a thousand faces, 3
on the cancellation of UFO Hunters
It throws up questions big time, has this got something to with the government? Are there not enough people watching this show? Or do people really not care about Aliens and UFOs? I think it’s a little bit of all them.
The Office is nothing but a bunch of comedian jewish people(nothing new), millions of other shows just like them:
Hate to say it, after reading books and reading the internet. I found out that Jews run the ball game in Hollywood, in fact they have most control of the United States. I don’t want to get into that right now.
“Megan Wants a Millionaire,” need I say more! Come to find out one of the candidates in the show cut his girl friend up into pieces, nice huh? What was he doing on the show if he had a girlfriend anyways.
I mean do I really want to learn about truckers that drive on ice or how people chop down trees. One world “boring!”
I think the general public is very stupid anyway.

I Met a Unicorn
Our Barry looks to be having a solo show at Klaus von Nichtssagend Gallery.
To say that unicorns have an existence in heraldry, or in literature, or in imagination, is a most pitiful and paltry evasion. What exists in heraldry is not an animal, made of flesh and blood, moving and breathing of its own initiative. What exists is a picture, or a description in words.

Dallas Jail Guard Fired Over Comments
“I believe that all dinosaurs were born of Satanic angel who has sex with woman and the animal kingdom that created ungodly reptilian creatures none of these were on the Ark,” Johnson said.
Johnson also said that he didn’t believe in homosexuality and “that they should be put to death,” according to his statement. But he said his beliefs don’t lead him to treat gays differently.
And y’all wonder why we stay in Texas.

“Double Falsehood”
A play written in the 18th century by Lewis Theobald — and said to be based on “Cardenio”, a lost play by Shakespeare — has been published as a missing piece of Shakespeare’s work.
Alexander Pope, who had feuded with Theobald, chose the playwright as the focus of “The Dunciad” — a work in which a dunce replaces the Iliad’s hero. And Pope’s work is what brought Hammond from the 18th century to Shakespeare. He was working on Pope in the 1980s, and decided to investigate “Double Falsehood” further.
And you know what the sad part of the story is — the real tear jerker — that’s probably where he is right now — he’s probably out there trying to win it back
FBI Top Ten Anniversary
Yesterday was the 60th anniversary of the FBI’s Top Ten Most Wanted list.
The year was 1949, and a reporter came to the FBI with a novel question: who were the “toughest guys” we were after? We responded with photos of 10 fugitives, which were published on the front page of The Washington Daily News. Although we didn’t know it at the time, a crime-fighting institution was born.
The “Top Ten” list immediately caught the public’s attention, and several of the fugitives were captured as a result of the media exposure. The following year—on March 14, 1950—we formally established our Ten Most Wanted Fugitives program, relying on the support of the public to help us capture the worst of the worst.

David Byrne’s Ride, Rise, Roar
“The fact that they decided to combine modern dance with a rock show was risky,” director David Hillman Curtis told Wired.com by e-mail, ahead of Ride, Rise, Roar’s Monday premiere at the Paramount Theater, the first of three SXSW screenings this week. “It could have backfired quite easily. But it fits with David, since he is involved in many forms of art. They managed to pull it off through trust in collaboration.”

wearable computing guru hired by Apple
Apple has hired Richard DeVaul to explore the possibilities of wearable computing. From his dissertation:
The short version is that I can improve your performance on a memory recall task by a factor of about 63% without distracting you, in fact without you being aware that I’m doing anything at all. Even more interesting is that giving you wrong information subliminally doesn’t seem to mess you up.
Additionally:
DeVaul will be working under Jonny Ive [Apple's lead designer] in a secret lab focused on wearable computing technology where only seven people besides Ive and CEO Steve Jobs know what he is doing.
Greetings from the Middle East
My Mom and Dad are on a trip in the Middle East (where we spent many of the years of my childhood):
Greetings from Jerusalem… wanted to send you word that we are having an unbelievably wonderful time in the Middle East.
We are seeing signs of the tension here… ALL interesting, will tell you more later. Syria was incredible. Our days have been full of sights and sounds of the ME… keep wishing you were here to experience it. The swirl of life is intense and always full of person to person interactions that are welcoming and important. Seems we have made an impression with our own spirit of willingness to interact… people have responded with such kindness and generosity.
Food is incredible. Swam in the Dead Sea today and saw the Qumran ruins and community structures…
Could go on and on. Love you all.
Wish I was there.
