  1. obviously god is a capitalist, according to this knuckle brain. i wonder how much money he would have made with a business like that.

     

    i had a dream that pat robertson and I were partners in a business that cleaned up the crime scenes of convenience store robberies/murders.

  2. its so convienent with bin laden. they can say he's either alive or dead.

     

    dammit i told myself i'd stop saying they...

     

    its impossible at this point to determine if he's dead or not. it's perfect.

  3. Ex-Klansman granted bail in 'Mississippi Burning' case

    MIAMI (Reuters) - A Mississippi judge on Friday granted bail to 80-year-old former Ku Klux Klansman Edgar Ray Killen, who was sentenced to 60 years in prison for the 1964 killings of three civil rights workers in a case that inspired the 1988 movie "Mississippi Burning."

     

    Circuit Judge Marcus Gordon granted Killen's release on bond of $600,000 pending appeal of his manslaughter conviction, Neshoba County court clerk Patti Duncan Lee said. Killen had not posted bond as of early afternoon.

     

    "The judge granted bond of $600,000, $200,000 for each count," Lee said.

     

    Killen was convicted by a multiracial jury on June 21 on three counts of felony manslaughter for the notorious crime that galvanized the civil rights movement. He was sentenced two days later to 20 years in prison on each count.

     

    After a short trial evoking memories of the brutal racial violence of the era, the jury found Killen organized a posse to kidnap, beat and shoot Michael Schwerner, Andrew Goodman and James Chaney and bulldoze their bodies under an earthen dam.

     

    The jury cleared him of the more serious charge of murder. Schwerner and Goodman, white New Yorkers, and Chaney, a black Mississippian, were helping blacks register to vote during the Freedom Summer civil rights campaign when they were killed on June 21, 1964.

  4. ...and commies make money when you buy weed

    ...and weed will make you run over little girls in the drive through

    ...and lsd will make everyone jump out of buildings

    ...and mushrooms make you legally insane after taking them 3 times

    ...and marijuana makes mexicans rape white women

  5. I don't give a fuck about a 'holy site' or any attachment to them that people chose to embrace, because it doesn't mean a thing.

     

    The thing about this guy that grabs my attention is that a) he sounds like a fucking idiot when he says things like that. b) what he has to say is just as profound as anything my war obsessed 13 year old nephew has to say about the matter. "just throwing ideas out there" Great ideas you fucking mold, how long did it take you to produce that brilliant insight for the american people? This is another case of a politician underestimating our intelligence.

     

    If this guy will share these ideas on a radio show, just imagine all the shit he hides from people.

    Planet with three suns challenges astronomers

     

     

    In a scenario out of "Star Wars," astronomers have detected a planet outside our solar system with not one, but three suns, a finding that challenges astronomers' theories of planetary formation.

     

    The planet, a gas giant slightly larger than Jupiter, orbits the main star of a triple-star system known as HD 188753 in the constellation Cygnus ("The Swan").

     

    The stellar trio and its planet are about 149 light-years from Earth and about as close to each other as our sun is to Saturn, U.S. scientists reported on Thursday in the current edition of the journal Nature.

     

    A light-year is about 6 trillion miles, the distance light travels in a year.

     

    If you stood on the planet's surface, you would see three suns in sky, although its orbit centers around the main yellow star among the trio. The larger of the other two suns would be orange and the smaller would be red, astronomers at California Institute of Technology said in a statement.

     

    The new finding could upset existing theories that planets usually form out of gas and dust circling a single star, and could lead scientists to look in new places for planets.

     

    "The implication is that there are more planets out there than we thought," the commentary said.

     

    Caltech astronomer Maciej Konacki, who wrote the research article, refers to the new type of planets as "Tatooine planets," because of the similarity to Luke Skywalker's view of his home planet by the same name, with its multiple suns, in the original "Star Wars" film.

     

    The fact that a planet can even exist in a multiple-star system is amazing in itself, according to Konacki. Binary and multiple stars are quite common in the solar neighborhood, and in fact outnumber single stars by some 20 percent.

     

    But so far, most extrasolar planets -- those discovered outside our planetary system -- have been detected by watching for a characteristic wobble in the stars their orbit, reflecting the gravitation pull the planets exert on their suns.

     

    This method is less effective for binary and multiple star systems, and existing theories said planets were unlikely to form in this kind of environment.

     

    Konacki found a new way to identify planets by measuring velocities of all bodies in a binary or multiple star system.

  7. I don't know how much it sold for, but supposedly this is the most expensive scotch on the planet.

    DISTILLERY WAVES GOODBYE TO LAST BOTTLE OF THE WORLD’S OLDEST SINGLE MALT WHISKY

     

    Hong Kong Airport snaps up remaining Glenfiddich Rare Collection 1937

    Workers at the independent, family-owned Glenfiddich Distillery bade a fond

    farewell to the last bottle of Glenfiddich® Rare Collection 1937 to leave the

    distillery as it made its way to Hong Kong to be sold at the city’s stunning

    Chep Lap Kok Airport, a major gateway for international travellers.

    Glenfiddich Rare Collection 1937 (aged 64 years) is the oldest single malt ever to be

    bottled. Released in 2001 by William Grant & Sons, there were just 61 original bottles

    produced from a single cask.

    Commenting on the departure of Glenfiddich’s oldest son, Malt Master, David

    Stewart, said: “There are a lot of mixed emotions here today. On the one hand, we’re

    extremely proud of having produced a whisky of such fantastic quality that’s stood

    the test of time and on the other there’s a tinge of sadness at saying goodbye. Having

    said that, this batch of six bottles is in the right shop window for finding good homes

    to go to.”

    Mr. Baker Salleh, CEO of Sky Connection Ltd added: "We are committed to having

    the world's best at our FREE DUTY shops and we are indeed honoured that William

    Grant & Sons agreed to part with their rarest and finest whisky so we can showcase it

    to international travellers at Hong Kong International Airport."

    This true classic started life one summer’s day in 1937 when oak cask 843, handmade

    by distillery coopers, was filled with spirit from the stills at The Glenfiddich Distillery

    in Dufftown, Scotland, and laid down in a dunnage warehouse to mature.

    Normally whiskies that reach this great age are either long past their best or have lost

    their strength. However, this whisky is exceptional having matured slowly, allowing

    it to develop a distinctive character. With its wonderful toffee caramel and cinnamon.

     

    As for me, I'm on the other end of the glenfiddich spectrum, 12yr single.
