mostly pointless

ahh, blogging! I think i remember how to do this.... i type and you ignore it.... right, ok, lets get started!

I have a hard enough time with existing languages, how about a new one created for a video game?

The US government wants a new navy, but are unwilling to pay for it. Oddly enough the same goes for the air force except that there they already have working craft. Both are being hit by politics and price padding. Where the navy wanted 24 ships, they can now only afford 5. The airforce will begetting half the planes they wanted. Strange that in this day and age of spend without fear, the guys in the war business are having money problems.


always someone wants to re-write history. This guy wants someone else written in as first US President.... I don't think he's gonna get it.

The marburg outbreak is expected to get worse. The WHO thinks that they have not yet broken the cycle of infection. I find this whole thing very weird. Historically the infection cycle was easy to break because the virus has a relatively short incubation time. Keep everyone, and i do mean EVERYONE, quarantined and at home for 48 hours and the thing is broken, then just reduce it to those who live with infected and eventually to just those infected. Sad as it might be, you fight this thing by isolating it and then waiting for the infected to die off (or get better).

JUNK FOOD IS BAD FOR YOU! Wow, who would have thought that research would show such a thing. I mean.... how could a bunch of man made chemicals meant to keep large amounts of sugar and fat from spoiling, mixed with other chemicals made to create color, be BAD for you? seriously.... as it turns out the fats in most junk foods see to interfere with the normal functioning of your brain.

In other somewhat obvious news, Happiness makes people healthier.

it may not be the ONLY man-made object that can be seen from space but it is likely the largest. The great wall of china has been identified from space by the naked eye.... sortof.

Overly complicated de-humidifier touted as 'new way to water the world'.

and lastly:
Tea may help prevent diabetes and cataracts.
