Hmmm.... from such a reliable source. Unless they have George W on camera saying that, I really don't believe those were his EXACT words. We all know I am not a fan of our president, but this just seems silly. I doubt he claimed to be some kind of prophet who talks to god.

We all know he said "they tried to kill my dad", when talking about invading Iraq, but it seems like something was lost in translation here.

Yeah. Seeking reimbursement for her and her husband for the last leg of their trip and pay for her gasoline, a $68 rental car from Avis and a $70 hotel bill is money-hungry jackassishness if I've ever seen it.

FAA spokesman Donn Walker told the newspaper that no federal rules exist on the subject.

"It's up to the airlines who they want to take and by what rules," he was quoted as saying. "The government just doesn't get into the business of what people wear on an aircraft."

Yay for the First Amendment.

Mystery Ocean Glow Confirmed in Satellite Photos

Mariners have long told of rare nighttime events in which the ocean glows intensely as far as the eye can see in all directions.

Fictionally, such a "milky sea" is encountered by the Nautilus in Jules Verne classic "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea."

Scientists don't have a good handle what's going on. But satellite sensors have now provided the first pictures of a milky sea and given new hope to learning more about the elusive events.

The newly released images show a vast region of the Indian Ocean, about the size of Connecticut, glowing three nights in a row. The luminescence was also spotted from a ship in the area. [read more...]

Alex Rayner, a spokesman for the project, said it was "committed to avoiding the sleazy image that the sex industry usually conjures."

"Titillation is not the goal," he said. "It's meant to be educational. It's meant to be informative."

Well, you know what they say - one man's titillation is another's education.

SAN FRANCISCO - A nine-year-old boy has just finished a pretty tough morning swim — from Alcatraz to San Francisco.

Johnny Wilson, from Hillsborough, made the 1.4-mile swim in under two hours, braving choppy morning waters and rough winds in a portion of the San Francisco bay known to have sharks as well.

Wilson's classmates were waiting for him on shore, cheering as he made it all the way to Aquatic Park.

His effort raised about $30,000 for the Red Cross Katrina Hurricane Victims Fund.

Wilson said the toughest part of the swim was the beginning, because it was cold and windy.

Wow. That's crazy & I'm pretty damn impressed.

Picture of him swimming:

Psychic seeks $25 million reward for Saddam

Quote:

A Brazilian court will consider a psychic's claim that the U.S. government owes him a $25 million reward for information he says he provided on the hiding place of ousted Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein....

...The court said Da Luz sent letters to the U.S. government from September 2001, describing Saddam's future hiding place -- a tiny cellar at a farmhouse near Tikrit. He never received a reply.

Hey, maybe this guy can tell us where Usama is????

Mom delivers 16th child, thinking of more

Wow....ummmm....wow. Not to be mean, but c'mon. can't they consider adopting very needy children. At least they have the financial means to support all of their kids. Still, it seems VERY excessive, and if they want more children they should look into the thousands out there waiting for a loving family.

Brazillian Psychic: "Oooh let me look in my crystal ball, let's guess at, I mean see that he's...in a cave somewhere on the Afghanistan/Pakistan border. Should I send my bill to Condoleeza Rice right now?"

Hmm, Saddam Hussein(or as I like to call him-Madass Insane) hiding underground...in his own hometown?-wow what perceptive 'powers' that guy must have had.

Arf Arf Arf. lmao.
