WCSH6.com - People In North Berwick Clean Up After Tornado

I just heard from my mother yesterday. She said that her sister’s, my aunt Rose’s, house was almost hit by a tornado that plowed through their back yard.

According to Aunt Rose:
“I looked out the window as the wind started picking up. I saw a white sheet moving across the back yard, through the trees. When it passed, all the trees were gone. I was screaming, Bob (uncle Bob) was yelling, it was terrifying.”

Aunt Rose’s house took some damage, but it is mostly intact, and both her and Uncle Bob are fine.

Read This Article on Sen Ihnofe, global warming, and CNN

My opinion of the mass media just ticked up a notch. Amazingly, CNN was actually doing what could almost be called. . . dare I say it . . . Journalism?

The background is that Republican Senator James Inhofe went on a 45 minute diatribe in congress on how the science of global warming was nonsense, and that the whole thing was a big hoax.

CNN, in an unprecedented display of journalism, aired a brief segment that dismantled Sen. Inhofe’s lies and misinformation. It did my heart good to see this. Maybe there is hope for the infotainment industry after all.

No chemistry site is complete without a mention of laboratory safety.

Obviously a real scientist and not just a model, is injured in a dangerous conflagration ignited by some chemicals or something

As Edgar Allen Poe said: “sleep, those little slices of death. . . how I love them.” Or something like that. Whatevah.

Tonight, Original Cindy and I are having a party. We shipped the kids off somewhere (I can’t remember. . . its somewhere around nearby I think), we bought some alcoholic beverages, and made lots of yummy foods.

There will be three couples and a single. Our plan — that is to say, its Cindy’s plan and I got to say “yes” — is to do some Playstation Karaoke and then get completely innoculated and falling down drunk.

There will be pictures. Hehehe. . .

Fair-skinned folk can rejoice. According to a report in ScienceNOW: Better Tanning Through Chemistry — ScienceNOW, There may be a way to get a real tan using chemistry.

Right now there are a number of fake-tan products on the market. Unfortunately, they all simply dye the skin, and can make you look like some weird, orange-skinned freak. However, in this latest study (which, disturbingly, involved shaved, mutated, mice), the “stuff” chemically alters your skin to provide the identical end-result of having an actual tan — And without the skin cancer.

Well, thats it folks, the cats out of the bag. Apparently, lots of men who are married, who love their wives, and who insist they are straight, are actually running around with other men.

According to a new study (ABC News: It’s Not ‘Straight’ or ‘Gay,’ It’s What You’ve Done) 10 percent of men who were married and who identified themselves as straight also claimed to have had sex with a man in the last 12 months.

The lesson? If you are a married woman, and you suspect your guy is cheating on you, consider going beyond the usual — sniffing his clothes for perfume, checking his collar for lipstick, etc. The best tactic, as this study shows, is to have a friend call your husband anonymously and pretend to be a conducting a scientific study. Things that a guy wouldn’t tell his best friend (unless he’s sleeping with his best friend, I suppose. . . ) he will cheerfully spit out to an anonymous caller claiming to be conducting a poll or survey.

Humans are so weird.
