POPSJapan may scale back Antarctic whaling Japan has said they are looking at corruption in the whaling industry.

Should we agree to the view that minke whales are the rabbits of the sea and can be killed for food, the Japanese will put them on the endangered list in no time flat.

POPSNorway Time Hole "Leak" Plunges Northern Hemisphere Into Chaos "But to the most critical aspect of these events it surely lies with the Western World’s continued arrogance in regards to experimenting on both our Planets natural species and human beings, and though who may think that they are ‘gods’, are continuing to give evidence that they are acting more like devils."

POPSSolution to killer superbug found in Norway Now a spate of new studies from around the world prove that Norway's model can be replicated with extraordinary success, and public health experts are saying these deaths " 19,000 in the U.S. each year alone, more than from AIDS " are unnecessary.

POPSWe All Want To Know "We will probably never find that cosmic connection to our lost royalty. Someday I will visit Norway and look up those ancestors. They died not knowing the fate of the universe, and so will I, but maybe that’s all right." TN told me once she felt closer to knowing God through science. Well, she has her way and I have mine, but we all want to know :)
