We have been hearing a lot lately about test tube meat .. get ready for that to be pushed onto our dinner tables within ten years. The recent test trial went down, and the foodie said it tasted ALMOST like a burger.. And really, if they could perfect gum to taste like apple pie, they'll eventually get this fake hamburger correct.. But there are skeptics among us: MOTHER JONES details the test tube secret: Unborn cow blood.
ON THOSE TERROR WARNINGS AND FEARS: Here is a must read for the tin foil hatters: The New York TIMES reported this on August 2, 2013: "Some analysts and Congressional officials suggested Friday that emphasizing a terrorist threat now was a good way to divert attention from the uproar over the N.S.A.'s data-collection programs, and that if it showed the intercepts had uncovered a possible plot, even better." .. Good food for great thought.
Pork: It's not for MY dinner: Hog farms battling to contain deadly virus.. Piglets are being killed by the thousands this summer.. It's the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus..And it is ravaging some farms.
President Obama appeared on the TONIGHT SHOW with Jay Leno .. Some of the questions asked were hard hitting and not anything we have heard from 'real' journalists with cred asking Obama.. Amazing that a comedian is left to grill the commander in chief about the states of the union.. Props to Leno ..
OK WHERE'S THE PUNCH LINE?? Obama tells Leno that the United States does not spy on Americans..
There is a special place in hell for scum Justin Bieber and his security team: NY POST reports that cops are looking into whether Beebs told his security to beat up New York City clubber Wayne Rennalls
And what am I missing with Justin Bieber here..? He is in a club, in New York City.. at the age of 19, when the age of legalized drinking in the United States is 21? I get he goes to the UK and starts fights and tries to be 'restrained' before urinating in buckets of low wage earners, after spatting on his female fans screaming for his saliva.. But in the US? at 19? In a club.. fill me in with that I am at a loss to understand..
*But don't let the dire headlines make you change your plans: This happens every 11 years.
But here is one that may matter: Magnetic north shifting by 40 miles per year..
Get this! ACCUWEATHER is now offering a 45-day forecast.. Make your party plans now. We will see how spot on their computer guidance is.. This will take us right into back to school time and the early autumn.. 45 day forecast?? Seriously? I cannot even imagine this will be accurate on a daily run down.. But it will be able to shed light on the trends.. We can get trend forecasts now from the government, so I assume Accuweather will boast the trend over the 100% accuracy. But either way, Farmers Almanac, get ready, Hurricane Henry is closing in. Jumpin Joe Bastardi left long ago..
Comedy relief of the day: Rob Zombie is getting old. How do we know? He is complaining of noise coming from a skate park.. 'GET OFF MY LAWN!'
Very interesting story on he 'mysteriously long lives' of male Holocaust survivors.. (Is it possible that they are being kept around longer by the force of the universe so we can learn of the mistakes and sins of the past??
THE NEXT HOLLYWOOD BOMB: Terrible reviews coming in for THE MILLERS.. And I have to agree, even the trailers for this film look beyond un-funny..
This is a fascinating story.. not ready to deem it paranormal, but it certainly has the strange factor associated with it.. According to KHQA, a "mysterious priest" performed a miracle at the site of a Mercedes crash in Missouri.. according to the information provided, the victim was failing to fight for life. The victim asked rescue workers to pray out loud, and according to this report, it's when a priest "appeared out of no where" .. Rescue workers said the priest prayed with the victim, and calmed her to the point where the calmness came over the rescue workers all the same.. A worker said, " I can't be for certain how it was said, but myself and another firefighter, we very plainly heard that we should remain calm, that our tools would now work and that we would get her out of that vehicle." .. and they did, as the victim is now undergoing many surgeries to repair her body after the incident. AS for the priest? No where to be founnd at this point..
