Stuff below the fold

Factoid of the day:

  • In 1940, the actor Cary Grant donated much of his earnings from The Philadelphia Story to a charity that financed the evacuation of British children from London and other cities suffering under the blitz to Canada and the United States.
---------------------------
The Holy Lance (or one of them) can be found at this Armenian Monastery

---------------------------
Turkey's new Ottoman wannabe president visits Cairo as a way to support the Palestinians...

But some tweeters who remember their history aren't impressed. And what about all those Kurds you oppress?

-----------------------------------
Saudi Arabia is arresting human rights activists for "insulting the judiciary"...

----------------------------
Measuring the speed of light...using Jupiter and it's moons.

-------------------------------
Bachman just lost my vote, not that as a Democrat I would have voted for her, but she is now officially into Art Bell (or Jesse Ventura) conspiracy territory.

and she can't even get her conspiracy theories correct: Gardesil causes teenage girls to have sex, it's MMR that causes retardation and polio vaccine that gives you AIDS...

Sigh. I wonder how many of these nuts have seen children die of Measles, be crippled from polio, or die from cervical cancer?

Stop the vaccine, and you won't have to live in Africa to see these problems.
