Doug Moe: Lake discovery is likely Truax jet
By Doug Moe

THERE HAS been a stunning development in the half-century-old mystery of what happened to a Truax Air Force Base F-89 Scorpion jet airplane that disappeared over Lake Superior on Nov. 23, 1953.

The plane and its Madison-based crew – pilot Felix Moncla and radar observer Robert Wilson – were never found. The F-89 had been dispatched to track a large unidentified flying object that radar had spotted near the U.S.-Canadian border, and the plane’s disappearance has been fodder for extraterrestrial theorists ever since.

It now appears the missing plane has been located.

Interesting. And still makes one wonder what it was that it hit.  Now to go look at the rest of the stuff… 😉

Bruce Campbell villain

Shop Smart Shop S-Mart

My Name Is Bruce

The movie’s plot is as natural as it is ingenious: Bruce Campbell (playing himself) is mistaken for his EVIL DEAD character, Ash, by the members of small Oregon town and is forced to fight a real monsters terrorizing the town’s inhabitants.

Article says maybe Feb 2007. Ought to be good.

UNEASYsilence » Cyber sex can make you sick

This is funny as hell.  Boy and girl are doing the you show me and I’ll show you thing via computer chat cam without having their heads in the picture.  The dinner call comes and after getting redressed they come to dinner and see what the other is wearing and realize what’s happened.  No exposed naughty bits but probably not safe for work.

I’m in but not just on October 3. I don’t buy ANY media/music/movies that I can’t use when/where ever. I probably miss out on a lot that way but I feel better about myself… 😉

Technorati finally responds

By , September 1, 2006 9:37 pm

With a form letter. Why didn’t they do that the first 2 times I sent this in. Or is this from the first or second complaint/plea for help. Here is the letter I got:

Blair: Tackle troublemakers before birth – Europe – MSNBC.com

Has Blair gone completely nuts?  I thought that there was some kind of check and balance in place to keep nutbags like this under control.  Guess he’s either trying to out do or take the heat off of Bush.  1984 again and again…

And once again greed (WalMart) is working to stop (even DRM restricted) freedom of choice.  Asshats!

Technorati is still being a pain in the butt.

By , September 1, 2006 5:59 pm

Went and deleted the feed at Technorati and redid the signup.  They find the new post fine but are still showing that I haven’t updated anything in 47 or 48 days.  And they don’t respond to the contact us thingie…

I suspect that it is all on their end as I am getting all of the other spiders but theirs.  Have checked my robots.txt file and it is the same as the one at my Nero Wolfe site and they are getting new posts there within 3 minutes.  Starting to piss me off!

Trying again…
