There are multiple videos out there about this latest ‘expose’ of UFO (Let’s keep the old acronym) cover up that putting one up seems pointless. Those interested can find them. The claims from various sources are: Alien craft have crashed on earth and been retrieved by the Government. Some are the size of football fields. Alien bodies have also been retrieved. Aliens have attacked people. Roswell was a cover up. The Government has handed over alien craft to people outside the government to analyse. Super-secret parts of Government are hiding the ‘facts’ regarding alien bodies and craft ..read more

It's not all knuckle-draggers and fundies round here. Quote: University of Southern Queensland space researchers Jonti Horner and Tim Holt received the nod from the International Astronomical Union after being nominated by colleagues, the university announced today.

Professor Horner said he was touched by the permanence of the gesture. "I remember seeing famous people get asteroids named after them — famous ast ..read more

Well, blow me down

My main cooling source in the backroom is a small desktop fan. However, the plastic guard decided to succumb to light/heat/built in obsolescence or whatever and needed replacing before summer hits again. Looking on the web brought up so much variety that a decision rested on a wall fan which seemed to fit what I needed. Swivel movement, a few speeds and no batteries included for the remote ended up with a Heller 40cm Wall Fan - HWF40R. I hoped it would also point up and down but no, that didn’t happen. The intention was to put it above the door near the computer but as it wouldn’t point down ..read more

Some thoughts on magnesium & other musings
Australian Atheists Forums

10M ago
Note: This is not medical advice. See a physician before taking magnesium. The reason I’m posting this has a lot to do with a wart that appeared on the back of my hand some time ago. On a visit to the doctor for another reason (basal cell carcinoma) a full body check included looking at the wart. Warts can be uncomfortable or even hurt if in the wrong place. Warts are caused by an infection/virus and there is a treatment but as far as I know it takes moths with no guarantee the wart won’t return. I dismissed the idea. Without prompting Youtube, I spotted a video on removing warts. (AI is get ..read more
