POPSFrom the rat to the moon, all about numbers “What’s interesting and surprising in our results is that the same system we spend years trying to acquire in school, and that we use to send a man to the moon, and that has inspired the likes of Plato, Einstein and Stephen Hawking, has something in common with what a rat is doing when it’s out hunting for food,” he said. “I find that deeply moving.” Behind every great leap of our computational mind lies the pitter-patter of rats’ feet, the little squeak of rodent kind."

POPSObama's "Carefully Nuanced Refinements" Obama could have picked Hillary Clinton, who received 18,000,000 votes. (He would have done so, by the way, without sacrificing his desire to have a Vice President with strong national security and foreign policy credentials on the ticket.) That works out to 2,000 votes for Clinton for every one vote Senator Biden got.

POPSStrange Laws In Phoenix, Arizona, you can't walk through a hotel lobby with spurs on. In California, a law created in 1925 makes it illegal to wiggle while dancing. In Utah, daylight must be visible between dancing couples. In Michigan, it is against the law for a lady to lift her skirt more than 6 inches while walking through a mud puddle. In North Carolina, it is against the law for a rabbit to race down the street. In Georgia, it's against the law to spread a false rumor. In West Virginia, one can't cook sauerkraut or cabbage due to the odors and the offence is subject to imprisonment. In Missouri, a man must have a permit to shave. The law states that more than 3000 sheep cannot be herded down Hollywood Blvd. at any one time. In Texas, it is still a "hanging offense" to steal cattle. In Virginia, the Code of 1930 has a statute which prohibits corrupt practices or bribery by any person other than political candidates.

POPSWEIRD BUT TRUE :If the apartment's a rockin', the British courts will come a knockin'." Adam Hinton, 32, of Brighton was fined several hundred dollars last week for having loud sex and breaching a noise-abatement order. Neighbors had complained for two years about Hinton, gal pal Kerry Norris and their noisy romps at her flat. Now the courts have banned Hinton from going within 100 meters of Norris' one-bedroom pad.

POPSObama Pledges 'Total Equality' for Same-Sex Families So the false 'messiah' wants to decree what God (whether Jesus, Allah, or Yahweh) has forbidden. If this man is elected President, his mantra of "Change" will bring about the complete bankruptcy and demise of America and all it's stood for for over 200 yrs.

POPSCongress: No airplane cellphone calls Just a few problems. First, just because you turn off your cell phone for calls doesn't mean the camera doesn't still work. Second, if those loud and obnoxious people can't talk on the phone, isn't anyone worried that they will talk to you? Third, what about all the other loud and obnoxious behaviors one encounters on a plane? Will they ban babies next? Fourth, the first paragraph of the story said that cell phones are dangerous on planes, where is the evidence of that? And finally, are they going to extend the ban to those insanely expensive phones you can currently use on planes? Or are only the well to do allowed to be obnoxious on the phone?

POPSLimbaugh tops his own bigotry with this one. It's hard to believe what can come out of the mouth (butt) of Rush Limbaugh but his latest tirade is beyond belief, beyond disgusting, beyond loathsome. Yes it's very hard to believe this mindless little man could stoop so low as to praise the flood victims in Iowa, Illinois who happen to be mostly white and at the same time, condemn the Katrina victims with the same old rhetoric, innuendos and outright bigotry that the KKK type people carry in their bags of hateful garbage. Those poor hurrican victims, who happen to be mostly of color are responsible in the intolerant brain cells of Rush, for their fate. I know beyond the pale, is too weak a phrase for this criticism from a genuine butt-hole. The only bewilderment I feel of such a creep sputtering into a microphone that goes out over the airwaves is, WHY THE HELL WOULD ANYONE LISTEN TO HIS SHIT AND STILL THINK OF HIM AS A CREDIBLE BEARER OF THE TRUTH? :-? http://thinkingblue.blogspot.com

POPSReva's Sexual History. Promiscuous to Pious and back again "I don't say the rules and rituals are archaic or daft, I give their esoteric meaning. A lot were difficult for me, but they work for other people. "The loo paper, for example, is a big issue. It sounds stupid, but tearing is related to one of the 39 jobs involved in building of the Temple in Jerusalem, so it isn't allowed on the Sabbath. I thought I had shown the beauty of the purity laws. But it depends, of course, on what the reader brings to the book." When she was eight, her disabled elder sister, Michelle, was sent to a home. From then on, she seemed to fear - and therefore to court - a similar rejection, but her parents never talked to her about it. Instead they were self-absorbed and fanned her feelings of... I search for the word. "Guilt," she supplies with some passion. "All Jews have it. We are all Holocaust survivors, even those brought up in London." ...Telegraph

POPSTop 25 Censored news stories of 2007
Jimminy Jilickers Radioactive Man, the vice president is selling nukes to Iran and the media doesn't want to talk about it! And that's just the second most significant news story swept under the rug this year according to this Kronkite-endorsed .org. I wonder, what is going on behind the scenes that we aren't privy to, and how does it affect my daily life/sense of reality? If the VP (by way of Halliburton) is in bed with Iran then its not a stretch to think that the media could be in bed with the government. Its almost impossible to know where the real lines are drawn anymore. Democrat/Republican. Democracy/Dictatorship. Capitalist/Fundamentalist. Journalist/Editorialist. Sinner/Saint Its all the same now, the lines are totally blurred. It could be conjectured that much of what we are sold, told, and taught is designed to keep us just "in the know" enough to do our jobs , buy things, and have babies that will grow up, do jobs, and buy things. Long live the American

POPSEating babies, poisoned bullets? Not so much Sgt. Zac King, 21, of Jacksonville, Fla., and a member of the 2-82nd, said one tale was spun specifically about his unit. After their arrival in Iraq earlier this year, the 2-82nd moved into a town that was deserted by residents who believed the troops dyed their berets with blood. “They believed it so much they evacuated the town,” he said.“I think it’s just natural misunderstanding of a foreign army,” Benfield said. But, he warned, the stories, though often amusing, can be dangerous. “Insurgents, bad guys who don’t like us, use these stories to their advantage,” he said in rallying the populace against Americans.

POPSalleged facts about the 1500s You should read them all.Quite interesting. Lead cups were used to drink ale or whisky. The combination would sometimes knock them out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up. Hence the custom of holding a "wake."
