Woah. Spooky Brain Fart.

Fans of the short-lived X-Files spinoff series The Lone Gunmen may recall that the pilot episode ended with an eerie foreshadowing of the Sept. 11 terrorist attack on New York's World Trade Center.

Though the show aired six months before the attack, its final scene featured a commercial airliner aiming at the [World Trade] center, veering away at the last minute, TV Guide Online reported.

But for some reason, the show's images escaped notice in the months following the real-life attacks—something that mystifies one of the show's writers, longtime X-Files producer Frank Spotnitz. It wasn't until the industry newsletter The Myers Report ran a story about the show this week that it caught the notice of TV Guide.

"I know! That's what I've been wondering," Spotnitz told TV Guide. He, Vince Gilligan and John Shiban wrote the episode. "I thought, 'Nobody noticed!' I guess so few people saw the show. But it's strange, too, because that was the pilot, and the ratings were actually quite good for [that episode], and yet we didn't hear anything."

Myers Report columnist Ed Martin wrote that "this seems to be collective amnesia of the highest order. The final act of the Gunmen pilot, which seemingly made no impact last year, now contains some of the most deeply disturbing images ever created for an entertainment program," according to TV Guide.

"I woke up on Sept. 11 and saw it on TV, and the first thing I thought of was The Lone Gunmen," Spotnitz told TV Guide. "But then in the weeks and months that followed, almost no one noticed the connection. What's disturbing about it to me is, you think as a fiction writer that if you can imagine this scenario, then the people in power in the government who are there to imagine disaster scenarios can imagine it, too." -Sci Fi Wire (6/21/01)

Movie Cliches and Film Funnies

These are great fun. See how many make you laugh... or groan.


From THE MOVIE CLICHE LIST:

A character turns on the radio just in time to hear a special announcement or some important news item. Then turns the radio off.

When you throw a knife, the blade will always be the first thing to hit the target.

When an intruder is in the house, the occupant will sneak along a wall with his back pressed to it tightly and his arms out a bit from his body, palms flat against the wall.



From The Great List Of Movie Cliches:

A detective can only solve a case once he has been suspended from duty.

A man will show no pain while taking the most ferocious beating but will wince when a woman tries to clean his wounds.

All bombs are fitted with electronic timing devices with large red readouts so you know exactly when they're going to go off.

All grocery shopping bags contain at least one stick of French Bread.

Guns are like disposable razors. If you run out of bullets, just throw the gun away. You can always find a new one laying around the next time you need one.



From movie-mistakes.com:

King Kong (2005): When Ann meets Kong on NYC street, the camera flashes back and forth between them. When it shows Kong, he is surrounded by snow, but when it shows Ann, the street doesn't have so much as a snowflake.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith (2005): The movie is supposed to take place in and around New York City, however during the car chase where Angelina and Brad are fighting off the three BMW's, a wide shot clearly shows a street sign announcing Los Angeles.

Elektra (2005): When Elektra closes her cell phone on McCabe, a dial tone can be heard. Cell phones don't have dial tones. Even if they did, Elektra hung up, so nothing would be heard.



From Cinematic Slip-ups:

Tales From the Crypt: Demon Knight (1995): There's a flashback to the crucifixion of Christ. The film shows him as having been crucified by the hands. But, as Liam Gibbs points out, the bible clearly states Christ was crucified by the wrists. (Gee, I bet at least Mel Gibson strove for accuracy since he proclaimed his Jesus movie was biblically correct. Mmmm... what did The Passion do re: nails through the hands vs. nails through the wrists? I mention it because a psychotic woman has been stalking me on the internet ever since I first asked that question. Some people get really nutty over their religion movies.)

Braveheart (1995): When William Wallace (Mel Gibson) is running across the field towards the enemy with an axe, there's a cutaway shot; when they go back to Wallace, he has no weapon. They cut away and back again, and now he has a sword. (Oh my goodness! Nooo! This can't be! You mean Mel Gibson CAN ACTUALLY MAKE A MISTAKE??? Whatever will the psycho stalker say???)



From Film Goofs from the IMDb:

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005): While riding on Aslan, Susan and Lucy switch spots.

Fahrenheit 451 (1966): When Montag gets in the boat to hide from the flying cops, you can see the rope still tying the boat to the bank. Montag subsequently rows away with out untying it. Montag's hair in the final scene is different than it is in the rest of the film. This is because Oskar Werner, to show his dislike of director François Truffaut, purposely did this to create a continuity error.

California's "Megan's Law" Goes Online

Now you can look the bastards up online HERE at the Ca. State Attorney General's Sex Offender Registry website.

You can search by name, zip code, county, city, school, park, etc. There's just one sex offender in the next town over from where I live. I looked up my sister's neighborhood and was not pleased to find there were two sex offenders (both pedophiles) around the corner from her house. Her 12 year old grandson (MY great-nephew) lives there with his mom, my niece.

You can click on individual offenders to get more information about them, including their specific crimes. ALL sex offenders are listed and that includes child molesters as well as rapists and other sexual offenders.

I was totally shocked to find someone I used to know and think of as a friend listed as a registered sex offender. His crime was sexual battery (which, in California is different from rape) and did not involve children. I wasn't even looking this guy up but his photo came up when I input one community's name and his face is unmistakeable due to having some facial deformities caused by a medical condition. The guy I used to know was very shy and sweet and very nice to talk to and nothing like you'd imagine a "sexual batterer" would be. I..am..shocked.

This page became quite handy in the days of Project Greenlight when the trolls were actually threatening webmaster fgonnello and/or hacking the Project Greenlight website to steal members' personal data. It seems the trolls backed off when they discovered their own legal history could be published and emailed throughout cyberspace. Nobody picks on fgonnello and gets away with it.

This website also provided a most interesting result for Project Greenlight members who had been approached by more than one of the trolls and asked to give credit card numbers and other personal info -- it seems a trio of trolls who had been doing this very thing at Project Greenlight actually lived either in the same housing project or within walking distance of each other but they denied (or tried to pretend) that they didn't even know each other! Gee. Why would they need to do that?

And the three of them were the most disruptive and most destructive participants on the Project Greenlight messageboards. Some of their marks (dupes) still believe they're "good people." Pity.

Fla. Boy Who Went to Iraq on His Way Home
Updated 10:12 AM ET December 30, 2005

By JASON STRAZIUSO

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - A 16-year-old from Florida who traveled to Iraq on his own without telling his parents was put on a flight home Friday, the U.S. Embassy said, while warning Americans of the dangers of undertaking similar journeys.

Farris Hassan, of Fort Lauderdale, had been under the care of the U.S. Embassy after being on his own in Iraq for several days.

Hassan, a junior at Pine Crest School, a prep academy of about 700 students in Fort Lauderdale, recently studied immersion journalism _ a writer who lives the life of his subject in order to better understand it.

The teenager, whose parents were born in Iraq but have lived in the United States for about 35 years, says he wanted to travel to Baghdad to better understand what Iraqis are living through.

After his second night in Baghdad, he contacted the AP and said he had come to do research and humanitarian work. The AP called the U.S. Embassy, which sent U.S. soldiers to pick him up.

Hassan does not speak Arabic and has no experience in war zones, but he wanted to find out what life was like there.

SETI@Home Project Ends

SETI@Home Project Ends

For years, volunteers shared idle CPU cycles to analyze interstellar data.

Phil Hochmuth, Network World
Friday, December 16, 2005

Along with the Howard Stern Show, another radio endeavor involving alien life forms is going off the air this week; SETI@Home, a grid supercomputer project for detecting signs of extra terrestrial life from deep space, officially ended December 15.

"We'll be shutting down the "SETI@home Classic" project on December 15," read an e-mail sent by SETI@Home administrators at the University of California at Berkeley, where the project started in 1999. "The workunit totals of users and teams will be frozen at that point, and the final totals will be available on the Web."

The project is being moved to the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC), an open-source grid project using the same principles as the original project.

Some Intelligent Thoughts (if I do say so myself) On the Teaching of Intelligent Design

I think it's perfectly fine if every individual on the planet has their own individual theory on the origins of the universe and/or the origins of Life. I also have no problem if anyone wants to play mix-and-match when it comes to religion and science, picking pieces of one to mix and match with the other, calling a religious belief or matter of faith a scientific theory and so on. Different strokes for different folks. It's all good.

When it comes to public school curriculum, the State and local Boards of Education have to determine a standard curriculum that all the schools under their purview must adhere to in order to continue as accredited institutions of learning.

Part of that would involve making the determination of what belongs in specific science classes. The boards of education must determine exactly what IS science. It must be defined and then a curriculum based on that definition is approved.

It seems that religion, religious theory, even a very teeny tiny dose of it by way of referencing a divine intelligence that got the universe rolling does not meet the standard to qualify itself as a science and therefore, does not belong in a science classroom.

I don't see that as completely discrediting such a theory, only as an attempt to place such teaching in its proper setting which would be a religion or philosophy class.

And having said all of the above, some science classes DO study religions but they study them AS RELIGIONS and not as scientific theories. When I took two years of cultural anthropology that was in fulfillment, in part, for my general ed "life science" requirement. And we did study the impact of religion on societies and how it ruled some cultures. And that was all science.

What's really going on with the proponents of ID is that they are feeling neglected and squeezed out of society and they want to shift the balance of power more in their direction. They insist that their religious beliefs (as in a divine power or intelligence being the source of creation) be taken out of Comparative Religion and forced into the curriculum of secular science classes. It is not enough for them to attend their own churches and privately instruct their own children in religion. Now they want to teach everybody else's children, too.

Like a smoker who believes they have every right to smoke cigarettes whenever and wherever they want even if they are smoking up the atmosphere in a restaurant where other non-smoking diners are eating, the pro-ID folks want to "smoke up" secular science curriculum for all children attending public schools even if the parents of those children may be even MORE religious than the pro-ID proponents and be horrified that their children may get a watered-down version of faith at public school. Maybe the parents are athiests and don't want their children to be taught ANY religious theories at all but they still believe they have a right to send their children to school. What choices are the pro-ID folks taking away from them?

The school boards must agree on a definition of "Science" and "Religion" and then decide how best to implement the curriculum. Parents should not have to worry that sending their children for an academic education in a public school will subject their children to what's best left to religious instructors as opposed to secular teachers.

If the ID folks are the same folks who believe that pharmacists have a legally sound right to inflict their personal religious beliefs on the public by way of refusing to dispense certain prescriptions, then the ID folks would also have no problem with individual teachers refusing to teach a religion or any religion in their secular science classes because that might offend their personal belief system. This follows the same logic, right?

And then the teachers who harbor racist beliefs can refuse to teach any United States history dealing with the civil rights movement.

And English teachers can refuse to introduce a writer like Mark Twain to their students because of his irreverant humor or refuse to allow poetry students to learn about Walt Whitman because he was gay.

There would have to be separate curriculums, of course. One to accomodate teaching religion in a science class and the other to accomodate outraged parents with expectations that only science will be taught in a science class. The ID folks certainly aren't suggesting that choice be taken away from everyone who does not share their belief system, right? Plus, the ID folks would vigorously defend the rights of individual teachers who refused to teach ID or any other belief system that personally offended their own beliefs.

The poor students. They may end up being required to take 1,000 different versions of the same class so as to accomodate the demands of religious and political pressure groups.

Why not just let the subjects be what they are without pretending they are something else? Anything that references anything divine such as a divine intelligence is religious in nature. Let religion be taught as religion and let science be taught as science.

Amen.

Sober virus scares up child-porn confession

Robert Lemos, SecurityFocus
2005-12-20

A 20-year-old German man turned himself and his child-porn collection into authorities after believing a message propagated by the recent Sober virus that law enforcement officers were investigating his activities, Germany's Federal Criminal Investigation Office said on Monday.

The Sober.X, also known as Sober.Y, virus attempts to fool computer users into running the malicious program by attaching itself to an e-mail that seems to come from the FBI or its German counterpart, known as the Federal Criminal Investigation Office or Bundeskriminalamt (BKA). The message implies that the law enforcement agency is investigating the recipient and asks the user to open up an attachment and answer questions.

Chad Everett's Private Photo Album

Okay, true confession. Chad Everett was a not so distant neighbor of mine in Granada Hills, Ca. (a neighborhood in the northwest San Fernando Valley which is just north of L.A. proper). I never met him but I did meet his Dad, the senior Mr. Everett, who was a sweet funny very smart man. There was a horrid brush fire one year that burned Chad Everett's house. I don't think he was able to salvage much and I remember being haunted by the thought of a neighbor losing their home. I worried that it could happen to us, too, but we were too far into the middle-class section of tract houses whereas Mr. Everett lived in the hills above us where the rich folks had homes built to order. When I met Chad Everett's Dad some years after that fire, I mentioned to him how it had just haunted me and he said his son never spoke of it anymore. Weird, huh?

So this little photo came from the Institute of Official Cheer which also includes The Gallery of Regrettable Food.

The Gobbler - Another Motel Classic!

Go VISIT.

"This site is an appreciation of a lost slice of American architecture and design - a period when just about everything had run off the rails, and good taste, restraint and classic traditions were utterly abandoned. There was an informal architectural style called Googie, named for a coffee-shop chain in LA; the diners had heaps of rough stone, cantilevered roofs, odd modern touches side-by-side with kitschy anachronisms. Well, this is Post-Googie. The jet-age futurism of the 60s had turned into the cheap, Logan's-Run modernism of plastic chairs; the experimentation with different materials had ended up in a smothering expanse of mass-produced carpet. This is a style that can go absolutely nowhere. It's the look of the future for at least a week." ~J. Lileks

BLUE SPRINGS, Mo. (AP) - A lovers' dispute over a cell phone ended suddenly when the woman swallowed the phone whole, police said.

Police said they received a call at 4:52 a.m. Friday from a Blue Springs man who said his girlfriend was having trouble breathing. When they arrived at the house they found the 24-year-old woman had a cell phone lodged in her throat.

"He wanted the phone and she wouldn't give it to him, so she attempted to swallow it," Detective Sgt. Steve Decker of the Blue Springs Police Department. "She just put the entire phone in her mouth so he couldn't get it."

Letterman wants ‘absurd' restraining order quashed

Wednesday, December 21, 2005 Posted at 9:34 PM EST
Associated Press

Sante Fe, N.M. — Lawyers for David Letterman want a judge to quash a restraining order granted to a Santa Fe woman who contends the CBS late-night host used code words to show he wanted to marry her and train her as his co-host.

(Colleen) Nestler requested that Letterman, who tapes his show in New York, stay about three metres away and not “think of me, and release me from his mental harassment and hammering.”

Letterman's longtime Los Angeles lawyer, Jim Jackoway, said Nestler's claims were “obviously absurd and frivolous.”

Nestler's application for a restraining order was accompanied by a six-page typed letter in which she said Letterman used code words, gestures and “eye expressions” to convey his desires for her.

She wrote that she began sending Letterman “thoughts of love” after his Late Show began in 1993, and that he responded in code words and gestures, asking her to come East.

She said he asked her to be his wife during a televised “teaser” for his show by saying, “Marry me, Oprah.” Her letter said Oprah was the first of many code names for her and that the coded vocabulary increased and changed with time.

MOG
Millions of Games

Community tagging (Mogging) Community tagging or Mogging has become increasingly popular over the last 12 months. We were inspired by a number of tagging sites such as del.icio.us and flickr.com to create a tagging site for casual games. We're big fans of casual games and it just felt that games and tagging should go together. We've been working on MOG since the end of 2004 and after a lot of hard work and some pretty smart coding, we're now ready to unleash it onto the the casual gaming world... All very well, but what is it?A community tagging site is one where you store your bookmarks on the site, rather than in your browser, and you then share them with others on the site (that's the community bit). On MOG, we don't want you to put your whole bookmark list in here, just the games you like to play. When you 'MOG' a game it gets added to your list of games (your MOG) and you get to see how many others have MOGGED it too and as such, how popular it is. You also get to rate it and we also track how often you play it, so one of the most powerful aspects of MOG is that it provides several automatic ways of showing you how good a game is. One of the other most powerful aspects of MOG is that you can quickly see who else has MOGGED a game and then get access to their MOG and see which games they like, and so on. Do I have to fill in lots of data?MOG is all about making life easy for you. When you MOG a game, pretty much all the data entry has been done for you, you just have to make sure we've got the game name right (we usually have), and the pick the main categories that the game fits into and then choose a couple of key words. Then it's MOGGED. For more detailed instructions on how to MOG, take a look at the MOG IT! page. The best way to really start understanding MOG is to join and start MOGGING, it's free after all.

Beatles sue EMI in royalties row

The surviving Beatles and relatives of the band's late members have begun legal action against record company EMI to get royalties allegedly worth £30m.

Sir Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and relations of George Harrison and John Lennon claim EMI owes record royalties to their company Apple Corps.

The band have issued legal proceedings in the High Court in London and the Supreme Court in New York.

EMI said it welcomed "full financial transparency" with its artists.

Settlement

The band allege EMI owes more than £30m in record royalties to Apple, which was allegedly uncovered during an audit of Apple accounts.

Legal proceedings were issued on Thursday in the High Court in London and the Supreme Court in New York.

Apple Corp chief Neil Aspinall said: "We have tried to reach a settlement through good faith negotiations and regret that our efforts have been in vain.

"Despite very clear provisions in our contracts, EMI persist in ignoring their obligations and duty to account fairly and with transparency.

"Apple and the Beatles are, once again, left with no choice but to sue EMI."

Computer Brain Farts

Does your computer do a little funky dance every once in a while? ALL the time, you say? Does start up take freaking forever? Does your browser not load pages correctly or does it crash for no discernable reason? You may be infected with malware or spyware. Well, not you but your computer.

I am now getting a "spyware warning" every time Windows starts up and it's for a program or .exe file that's required for my internet telephone service. It really is on my computer for a valid reason and I guess I have to teach the Norton to automatically authorize it to have access to the internet.

But still, it's creepy to see those warning things pop up onscreen and they don't explain anything about the program. So I need to dig a little further and I found one website where they have a bunch of programs listed: STARTUP INSPECTOR.

44 Acres of Coastline Collapse in Hawaii

Dec 02 7:02 PM US/Eastern

HAWAII VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK, Hawaii - About 44 acres of coastline collapsed into the ocean this week, setting loose a glowing stream of lava that shot out from the newly exposed cliffside 45 feet above the water. The plume, 6 feet in diameter, sent up a tower of steam as it hit the water and began forming a ramp of new land.

The collapse of solidified lava shelf and sea cliff Monday was the largest since Kilauea Volcano began its current eruption in 1983.

Rumblings tipped scientists to Monday's collapse, which took about 4 1/2 hours. Even at that relatively slow pace, the effect was spectacular.

"The cliff just caved away like a glacier," said park spokesman Jim Gale. "It just sheared off that old wall. There's this gigantic steam plume and you see the red just falling down _ an incredible fire hose display."

The collapse sent out globs of lava and head-size boulders. Sheets of volcanic glass called limu o Pele, after the Hawaiian goddess of fire, and thin strands of volcanic glass known as Pele's hair were found 1,800 feet inland.
