POPS What's Taking So Long? To gain a better insight on these goings on of the US Courts please click on the link. I'd rather have 1,000 words to clip, than 1K characters, but, oh well.Read on, if you please.

POPS $1.25 mil in the Drink Yeah right it's the bird's fault, not the man for bending down under the dash. Now, if the bird had dropped some poop down on his head then maybe...no it's still the man's fault. I was stung by a bee inside my blouse one day while driving, and I had the common sense to pull over. Even burning cigarettes are not an excuse. But a cell phone just is not a good cause. If I'm not mistaken I believe that it is illegal to use a cell phone while driving in Texas. If not not should be. It should be illegal in all 50 states !

POPS Just Space Junk? What's in Space? Much more than you realize. Since the start of the space age there have been some 4,500 space launches worldwide, & today there are 860 active satellites in orbit, The United States owns and operates roughly half of those satellites. This space activity has resulted in millions of pieces of orbiting debris There are two main sources of orbital debris: (1) Routine space activity and the accidental breakup of satellites and stages placed in orbit by such activity; (2) The testing or use of destructive anti-satellite (ASAT) weapons that physically collide with satellites at high speed . The destruction of a single large satellite such as a U.S. spy satellite could by itself double the total amount of large debris currently in low earth orbit (LEO), where nearly half of current satellites reside. There are currently no international restrictions on the testing or use of military systems intended to destroy satellites.

POPSHold on There! That's My VW Bus! I think... My goodness. Not only is this a great story, I'd like to know what they used for a title before this happened. But, the funniest thing to me is that stinky Spokane WA ever had a World's fair hosted there. That is the biggest laugh, 1974 someone was pretty stoned to think that one up eh?

POPS Mystical Martian Moon Phobos Can you imagine id the man & his wife who discovered this moon could see the wonderful pictures today? Also can we imagine that in another 122 years what they will tell about these magnificent moons?

POPS God & Freedom of Speech If you hate this country and what it stands for so much, why use the freedoms that is gives to you so freely? I don't want anyone to tell me what God is, or thinks about.

POPS Hey... Want a Baby? The expression "life is cheap" seems to be true these days. Why in the hell are people like this even allowed to be parents? I guess they didn't think to place an ad in the newspaper. They could've got a lot more from prospective baby seekers. Don't attack me for that statement. It's more a reality than you might know. Anyway...I'm just glad they don't have it any more (the baby that is). But knowing how things things go in our wonderful courts these days, it's possible they can get custody restored. That is if they want the poor thing.

POPS What Junk I love this stuff. It takes a master's eye to be able to see something great out of a pile of junk. Just collecting the stuff is a tremendous endeavor! Then storing it, Wow!

POPS What's This? A Martian Tatoo? Amazing new pics from Mars Orbiter. To our human visual conceptions of what things look like and/or what things should look like out of any real context this picture resembles rolls of fleshly look-alikes and the bluish scribbles appear to some of us, as something Earthly. If you want more on the dust devils the links that are not from Wikipedia, and are from NASA are pretty informative. There are also picture of rising columns here on Earth.

POPS More Reason's to Love my Microscope Can you see the duallities here? The first one looks like blackberries. So many of them look like popular fruits like oranges and strawberries, etc. There is one that looks like a waterfall landscape and some look like flower gardens. Fascinating and beautiful. To think that some of these common slime molds may hold the keys to cures for the most horrific diseases that plague the human race, is the scientific side of it. The sheer beauty is the aesthetic side. All of it is wonderous to me.

POPSThe Door to Hell Well...so much for resource conservation You'd think some one of those Russian scientists would be able to figure out a way to extinguish the darn thing, but maybe they just don't care. 35 years burning endlessly is an awful waste I must say. Any combustible gas can be converted into a useful resource.

POPS Pot Head and I thought losing your reading glasses on the top of your head was funny. OOPS !!

POPSThey Still Don't Get It Heartless morons in Illinois. Just had to ruin the driver's day, with a load of BS. I hope those folks never have to deal with the reality of any kind of Cancer in their family. Plus I'd like to know just who turned him in.

POPS Illusions Just click on the links. I had to have it proved to me more than once. But, it's true.

POPSShould We Audit The Federal Reserve? I certainly think so. I mean, why not? We get audited all the time. Why not do the turn about thing, and make them accountable for their issues? http://www.campaignforliberty.com/ Please go to this site as well for a deeper insigh into Ron Paul's agenda.

POPS "it's a disgrace ". says Mrs Witherall widow of Mr. Witherall. Mr Witherall's family said it makes a mockery of the justice system. However, A Prison Service spokesman said if a prisoner is found to have a mobile it is confiscated and they are placed in solitary confinement and have any privileges taken away. Sounds to me like they didn't find it.

POPSOld Law States Not to Die in Parliament Anyone who dies there is technically entitled to a state funeral because it is in a Royal palace. So if you want a free funeral in Great Britain, don't let them see you're sick and die nice and quietly.

POPS American Version Wiganfootie: this is the US Dennis the Menace. The one in Beano is quite different, but just as popular today as our version.

POPS Yes There is Water on Our Moon But now scientists say they’ve spotted water right on the moon’s surface. Using instruments on three different spacecraft, the scientists detected the chemical signature of good old H2O. And they think the water springs from the moon itself. The lunar soil is nearly 50 percent oxygen, and the scientists think that hydrogen comes from the solar wind that pounds the moon’s surface. Put the two together and you get wet. Not too wet, of course. There’s probably only about a quart of water in every ton of lunar soil. That’s dryer than the Sahara. But wetter than we thought. So...what do you think about that my clipper friends?

POPS Cops in a Wii Bit of Trouble Your Tax dollars at work. A detective cataloging evidence repeatedly put down her work to bowl. When she hit two strikes in a row, she raised her arms above her head, jumping and kicking. Kind of makes me wonder if all the drugs were categorized or taken home along with some of that stolen property. Ha ha on you Police jerks.

POPS You Really Cut Me Up I am having trouble with my clipping tool. Some images were clipped twice. Funny thing though, they just happened to be my favorites. This coming October's celebration of the dead, I think we should try to use different veggies and fruits to carve. Who says it;s gotta be a pumpkin? I love that little green apple!

POPS WATTA DEAL ! Oh man these are great! The egg vendor really got me though. Very weird indeed. And who wouldn't like to see weed go back to 25cents per load? Huh?

POPS 5 Star Jail in Austria 
Please excuse the rough translation from German to English (freeware version). In Leoben this system was very compactly implemented, whereby most important organizational and formative criterion was the optimization of the residence quality for employees and passengers. Life circumstances were created, which concerning the apartment, work and leisure situation the everyday life in freedom to resemble and Resozialisierungsmaßnahmen at best redundant make. The detention units are angelesgt like group houses, in which in each case are accommodated up to fifteen persons. Each Einhiceit has tea kitchen, sanitary block, gymnastic and lounge as well as a loggia, which extend the internal freedom of movement by the dimension „in the free of stepping “. Work and leisure facilities are so put on that they can be visited by the passengers unaccompanied and independently. The employees relieve and bend a complete incapacitating forwards.

POPSThe Naked Chef in the Fattest Town on Earth This is probably the unhealthiest country on Earth as well. Processed foods are killers that's for sure. It was nice of Jamie Oliver to say that "they are not stupid or ignorant". I think that may well be the case. However in W. Virginia, one's income does come into view. Some folks down there don't have enough money to keep up there food cache, and aren't able to cook from "scrathch". Meals are on a day to day basis. Those school lunches are probably the best meal of the day for some of those kids. However, I'm sure this guy has never been to a real "rural" W virginia town. They don't get fat there. When you don't have enough food for the family it just kind of works out that way.

POPSSouth Korean Woman is Stoned Well I'm certainly impressed. Wow what great aim! I really shouldn't laugh, but I just can't help myself on this one. I guess they cant look for "trunk prints". Oh...and they really missed out on a great video. Maybe they'd better get another, closer camera, that elephant could make the majors someday. lol

POPSLawsuit Over Research Monkeys Mistreatment The same old story. "Yes you did". "No I didn't". As a scientist in research myself (Bio-Chem), I know all too well what goes on in those labs, And I am glad to see someone is investigating these horrific atrocities committed upon these innocent creatures in the name of scientific research. There is nothing scientific about it. It is just maiming and torture under the disguise of surgery. I find this sort of thing absolutely disgusting. There is a related story on the same page. Click on the link to view that and the accompanying video. I think what irritated me in the first place was that this is going on in my home town, and is related to my line of work. These methods are becoming more antiquated as we progress further into the 21st century.

POPSDon't Worry Be Happy if you are a communist in ZAF Higher Education Minister Blade Nzimande is often seen wearing a Mao cap and is known for breaking out into his favorite tune: "My mother was a kitchen girl, my father was a garden boy. That's why I am a communist." But his new wheels have soured his relationship with his close ally COSATU, the country's largest labor organization. COSATU has asked ministers to return their costly cars and instead opt for cheaper ones favored by Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan, who bought two cars for the same price as Nzimande's one. "Nzimande was the one least likely to go on a profligate expedition ... when the (SACP) often rails against the excesses of unchecked capitalism," said a Wednesday editorial in Johannesburg's daily newspaper The Star. But the SACP has defended Nzimande, saying the German luxury sedan was bought on the recommendations of the police VIP protection unit. The rule book for ministers also allows for such purchases. over the limit....sorry not much more anyway.

POPSFaster Than the Speed of Whaaa? Yes I know it's a pic of the New York skyline, but, what do you want from a Chinese newspaper? My friends in Johannesburg use those Internet cafes to message me, we can't use the chat because it takes so long. When they use Google's gmail, on their cellphones, it is almost immediate. I don't understand much about this stuff, but I hope things do get better for that country. I don't know where they even got the $mil to get that underwater cable. I guess Zuma is trying to pull it off though. He has a lot on his plate already.

POPSCreepy Yet Beautiful MORE: Orchid mantis (Hymenopus coronatu) The Hymenopus coronatu, aka Orchid mantis, is a variety of flower mantis usually found in Malaysia and Indonesia. Doesn’t the mantis pictured look just like an orchid? They hide in the flowers they resemble, waiting for other delicious insects to alight. (Photo by: Paul F. Wagner) Hercules Beetle (Dynastes Hercules) A species of rhinoceros beetle that lives in South America, the Hercoles Beetle can grow to over 6 inches in length (counting its horns), but its claim to fame is its strength: it can support 850 times its own weight on its shell! This beetles eats only vegetation and is not aggressive, except to other Hercules beetles, when males fight each other over females. (Photo by: Tomas Libich) Giant Camel Spider (Arachnid Solifugae) Perhaps we would never --or rarely-- have heard of such a creature if it was not because of the tales and photos the United States Servicemen in the Persian Gulf War and afterwards the Iraq War car

POPSThe New North Star The skies above Grants Pass are much more clear than in the Metro Portland area. So much so, that a person is able to get a time lapse picture as lovely as this one. Fact is, most of the state has nice air. But the Willamette River valley is just a long vertical string of towns and polluted areas. Unfortunately that's because it's where most of the human population is. But, there's no way I don't love my state.

POPSWhere's Waldo? "I guess you could cut off the battery packs," he said. "But it's so specialized it really doesn't have many other applications." There are two other drones with similar capabilities at Mote but they belong to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration -- and there are no funds available for them to perform Waldo's mission. "We'd have to go back to sending people out in boats to collect water samples," he said. "That's not a very efficient way to do it." Waldo, a scientific robot used to detect red tide, was last heard from on Monday. Mote is offering a $500 reward. Well it had a pretty long working life I suppose. It was probably eaten by a Great White Shark. That's my guess, anyway.

POPSBicycler's Dream Home Away From Home I like this one. It weighs less than I do, not counting the bike. The only thing that scares me is the Iron Lung look. I want my head inside with the rest of me. Maybe he cut that hole as an after thought that some people are longer than 5'6". Still a nice idea though.

POPSShopping Cart Camper There are some obvious flaws here, however the biggest one I can see is the fact that thse carts are property of the store they were taken from, and here in the US it is considered as theft to remove one of them from the store's parking lot.

POPSDon't Try to Feed These Birds I don't thinl they'll come to your feeder, but they may peek into your windows. lol I wouldn't count on though, the stupid things only have a 20 sec. fly time. Oh yes, but our generous goverment is giving the creators a couple of mil to develop it just the same.

POPSNest of Nails Believe It!! I belong to the Cornell University's Ornithological Labs Department for the preservation of Urban Birds (that's a mouthful). Anyway we hold several lab experiments annually, and the last one was called the "Funky Nests" contest. Over 10,000 entries were received from all over the globe, but this wasn't one of them, although, it should have been. You gotta love those crazy Russian Pigeons man!

POPSFor You Merrie I wish I could send you some, I know you'd love it! There are a few more, butt I'm thinking of doing them individually. Maybe later.
