MY Ady Gil, illegal video games, the famous spilled coffee lawsuit, Operation Cottage, pigeon-guided missile, the Japanese Schindler's list, and bottlenecks in human history

Today, my last day in uniform, we will examine a few articles before I close up my office for good. Since my home computer is on the fritz, it might be a while before I can make another post, hopefully no more than a week. Today's articles include Project Pigeon, Chiune Sugihara, the Toba Event compared to flood myths and proto-human language, the WWII landing against a nonexistent enemy force, Liebeck v. McDonald's Restaurants, Greek Law 3037/2002, and MY Ady Gil.

Super-sized Sunday: KGB assassination, the "steely-eyed missile man", some computer comedy, the BFG 9000, groups of birds, some odd lifeforms, human echolocation, and the Outer Space Treaty

Today, I have quite a number of entries... don't really know why, except that I wrote down some cool stuff I saw on the History and Discovery Channels this weekend, and wanted to share. We will look at the dragon tree, lyrebird, barreleye, Georgi Markov, John Aaron, some funny computer codes, the biggest weapon in the Doom series, collective nouns for birds, the Outer Space Treaty, and humans who use sonar.

Extra post: Snyder v. Phelps

This post isn't so much about how amusing an article as it is to discuss the importance of a current Supreme Court Case, one which I have some strong opinions about.

The legislation of fruit, Boner Church, Xenu, and bazooka Vespa

Well, that was quite a snowstorm for North Carolina. Gosh, I really don't miss brushing ice off of my car and shovelling my driveway. Anyway, we should have some fun today: armed scooters, Scientology, a church that worships the phallus, and a Supreme Court case about tomatoes.
