The Beeb reports: US TV set for ‘Jesus wife’ storm.
A leading US TV news reporter has said her network is taking a risk with a news special which asks whether Jesus Christ had a wife.
That network is ABC and the show “Jesus, Mary and Da Vinci” is loosely based on Dan Brown’s best-selling mystery-history novel “The DaVinci Code”. Needless to say, the Catholic League isn’t really happy about all this — and I hope they try to “stick to the facts” on this, and try to keep the sensationalism to a minimum.
Meanwhile, Jesus is struck by lightning for the second time.

There was a story this AM on Ananova — Dolphin massacre turns sea blood red. The images were of an EXTREMELY red body of water, and men in small boats hauling in large amounts of dolphins. The photos were snapped by the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, and well, they look fake. The water is FAR to red, and the amount of blood in the water to make that happen would have to be up around… maybe 75% of the water’s volume? If these aren’t fake, then I think the only possibility is as I’ve created below:
The actual Sea Shepherd Conservation Society’s site is down at the moment, so I’ll point you to Consumer Freedom’s overview of The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (with choice quotes from SSCS founder Paul Watson — e.g. “There’s nothing wrong with being a terrorist, as long as you win. Then you write the history.”)
(I should point out that I don’t know who Consumer Freedom is backed by, but they were one of the larger sources of info on the SSCS.)

On Saturday, Hunter, Katy, Joe, Kelly, Cherie and I made our Annual Trip to Huber’s.
Later in the day, we went to Holly’s 30th Birthday party.
On Sunday, we carved pumpkins.
(a while back, I took some pictures of Kelly and our cat Karen)
update: yeah, so it was Katy who went with us to Huber’s. Jamie was around later for the pumpkin carving. Note time of posting: 8:30AM. I am not legally liable for misspellings or misrepresentation of fact until after 3:30PM EST.

Everyonce in a while, i’ll see someone i don’t often see, and they’ll ask me about something that I posted on my website. this happened this weekend, and i was thinking that i’d like to know who is just out there lurking and checking my site.
So, if you are one of these folks, then just drop a comment in the comments below! thanks!

#980375231: In high school, my friends and I made it a point to carry around screwdrivers. Every day we would each remove a single screw from some piece of school equipment. By the end of the year everyone was involved and the school was falling apart. It was mean and cost someone lots of money, but I still think it was funny.
#592811178: I resent my wife and kids. I think I’m jealous of the closeness they enjoy while I’m out working to keep it all together.
I know it’s just how things are, and how things have been for centuries. I know it’s right and I’m wrong. But still…
Oddly compelling — but not in a voyeuristic way. Makes me think of all the regrettable things in my life. Note to self: don’t stare into the abyss!

more wacky test data…
Downy, you see, is a magic man. Oh yes, you see he’s got magic hands. Seriously. They are magic. Turns out the hand soap he bought at the corner store was actually enchanted by a wizard who works at the Colgate factory. Not really too much call for wizardry these days, especially in Southern Indiana. So now, not only are his hands always 99.9% clear of bacteria, but he can make quarters magically appear! (Due to legal restrictions, they are actually his quarters, though).

Yep, you can check it yourself. Even the Wayback Machine has no memory of it. I will never be able to read “QA Confidential” again! Oh, for sadness. I even donated once to Mr. Tristan Farnon, the genius that he was.
update: after doing a little googling, I noticed that not only has The Wayback Machine had its LeisureTown stuff removed/block, but so has TextFiles.com, at the behest of Tristan himself! Oh man. I don’t know what to think! It reminds me of that Internet/USEnet worm I heard about eons ago — where a guy wrote a worm that would find all of his postings on USEnet and destroy them, as he was in the depths of depression and bordering on suicide. I can’t say that much for Farnon, though…

I got to thinking about a couple of people I haven’t seen in a while, and wouldn’t mind seeing them in the future — those people would be Arthur Black and Colin Ross. Astroboy, Bat-boy, where have you gone?
