Life; it's not just a cereal anymore.

It's nice to see that more and more planets are being found. They are up to 200! What does that mean? Their may be extraterrestrials!!!

Check it out!

Sorry Victoria Beckham... We don't know for sure what a real alien looks like; and you were the most lifelike image I could find.

60th Anniversary of Roswell Incident

People who have known me over the years have seen an eager mind full of imagination crushed into a cynical middle aged man. (Thanks Purdue; and nearly every place I've worked!) So when I saw that this was the 60 year anniversary of Roswell, I thought I should put forth my opinion; as it stands now. I believe that throughout the 40's and up through today, the US Military has tested new technologies (Black Ops) that were top secret. Sometimes, when you try something new, whatever it is you're testing, you have a crash. I believe the current govt. Stance is that this incident was from a ludicrously high altitude weather balloon that also was capable of detecting (then) Soviet nuclear tests. At that time, we had no satellites yet, so this was the best we could do. Apparently something happened to the balloon, and it crash landed in Roswell New Mexico in 1947. I won't get into the rest of the mythology surrounding it because it's covered by the story I'm linking to; but suffice to say, there are a lot of people out their with wishful imaginations who need to see Independence day. (Not every alien is like E.T, you've got some space folk out there that want to blow everything up and eat us) So, on to the story.

M41-A Pulse Uber Rifle, Recreated

Aliens fans will recognize this gun. In the original movie, the M41-A fired 45 caliber bullets, 12 gauge shot gun rounds and mini grenades. Apparently the prop wasn't just the product of sci-fi movie magic, but of real, current (80s) technologies. That's why one totally loony enlightened guy spent 18 months and $1,000 building an M41 of his own.

“The parts are difficult to find. Remaining true to the original prop construction, and remaining within the guidelines of the US law, I decided to go with as many real gun parts as possible.”

Well if I find myself holed up on a desolate planet with a bunch of Aliens wanting to 'hug' my face, I know what link to click on.
