The Bermuda Triangle

The Bermuda Triangle is home to the disappearance of 75 planes and hundreds of ships. The thing that makes these occurrences so baffling is that there is no wreckage for any of the crafts. No hulls on the bottom of the ocean. No fuselage floating in the water. There's also no emergency transmissions. Absolutely no evidence. Nothing has ever been found. Ever.

Everything from aliens abducting the crafts to the lost city of Atlantis shooting death rays has been hypothesized as the cause for the disappearances. There really isn't an explanation. Nothing seems the most likely since all the factors do not add up.

So I ask: What do YOU think? Leave your comment and let us know.

Geek Video

This video is hilarious. Especially @ 7 min, but, if you know anything about programmers the beginning is great, too.

Sanskrit Writings of India

Ancient Sanskrit writings of India tell us that there are over 400,000 human-like species scattered throughout the cosmos. Located on different planets, different solar systems and, even, different dimensions. They also state that they were visiting planet earth at the time these writings occurred.

Using the Drake Equation (which can determine the probability of the existence of something in outer space), SETI estimates the number of detectable extraterrestrial civilizations in the Milky Way galaxy to be over 100,000,000.

What happened? Where are they now? Are they still visiting? Maybe they are still here... What do YOU think?

Pecksniffian

I awoke this morning to find that today's Dictionary.com word-of-the-day is:

pecksniffian \pek-SNIF-ee-uhn\, adjective:
Hypocritically and smugly affecting benevolence or high moral principles.
Pecksniffian is named after Seth Pecksniff, a character in "Martin Chuzzlewit, a novel" (1843), by Charles Dickens.

This word is quiet humorous to me. Possibly because of my inner twelve year old, but, also, it just looks funny.

Mail

I received my mail yesterday only to find one thick envelope addressed to someone with my first name and a last name of "Dauney". I proceeded to open the envelope and examine the contents. This pic is what I found.

A whole welcome packet from the Sierra Club. They wanted me to donate money to help save the deforestation in CA. WHAT THE FUCK?!?! You sent me a shit-ton of paper to get me to donate money so you can save the trees? I am a HUGE environmentalist, almost to a fault. I am all for saving the trees.

Come on guys, sending me a packet of info on saving trees just to get me to donate money and you can't even get my name correct? You are definitely barking up the wrong tree!

Congratulations

I would like to extend a heartfelt congratulations to all those that found it absolutely necessary to keep my mother up-to-date on what they found to be inappropriate, racy or otherwise non-conformist posts that I may have placed on my Facebook. Yes, congratulations!!!! You have won the award of being exactly what is wrong with the world. If you don't approve of something I do, move on. If you dislike something I say, get away. If you find me to be too in-your-face, then get out of mine. There is a reason my mother does not have a Facebook page - because she respects the boundary between parents and their adult children. I am 32 years old. I am not acting up for a teacher or bullying a student in grade-school. You have no right to report to her anything that I do of which you do not approve. Quit being so concerned with something I do of which you do not approve and focus on something you can do that will make the world a better place instead of spreading drama.
