Another school lawsuit

When I had kids inthe public school system the War in Iraq was going on and teachers didnt let kids play "soldier" at recess. I felt this was an inappropriate case of teachers letting their politics in the schools. Here is  a similar story where school officials are making school activites about their interests and "politics". Since the child missed a day of school I hope the family sues the school district. The Seahawks are a private business and schools shouldn't be supporting one business over another.
(I guess Tacoma middle schools have uniforms ?)

Worst food ever ?

Spotted this at the local Kroger market. Its a pie crust  filled with molasses and sugar crystals that have been dyed different colors with food coloring. Is that not the most digesting thing you've ever heard of ? And isnt Mardi Gras like more than a month away? I guess the sugar will be nicely aged by the time the holiday rolls around....yumm

I've got an interesting core audience! Here are the website stats from last year!

Each with over 10 million "suns"

Here is a mind blowing science story from BBC. The Plank telescope has captured pictures of the largest galaxies ever seen. Think about this for a moment..we are one planet, third rock of many circling one star, one of an estimated 200 million stars, a clump aka galaxy of stars we call the Milky way. And ours is pretty small. For example the closest galaxy to us, Andromeda, has an estimated 1.5 TRILLION suns.

Scientists have recently charted some of the largest Galaxies, most so large that crossing them, even at the speed of Light, would take 100s of thousands of our years. There are an estimated 170 billion galaxies out there. The number of suns gets too large to write without notation and the number of earths is unfathomable. Why havnt we seen life ? Not because its rare but because the universe is frikken huge!!! Even with the best estimates in the Drake equation, dividing civilization equally amounts the starts would put the closest civilization to us 1500 light years away. 1500 years to send a message at the speed of light and another 1500 years to receive a reply assuming the reply was instantaneous. Thats what you call snail mail.

T-storms shoot antimatter!

Interesting story up on Wired. Apparently there is a lot we dont know about thunderstorms..

Rift Review (beta 4)

Rift is Ashron's Call 2 meets Warhammer Online and it is doomed to follow in their footsteps on the path of mediocrity.
