    What is the Cultural Significance of the Moon for Native Americans?

    Here's a little funny story I read in a book written by Carl Sagan, God rest his soul. I can't remember exactly which one, since I read four of his books. I think it was The Demon Haunted World, I'm not sure. But here goes: Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins were letting off some...

    We all heard about Roswell. A weather blob fell off the sky and the locals, after seeing materials unknown to them until then and the army surrounding the place, they thought that aliens landed in their peaceful town. Some people still believe that. And it's no surprise that ever since then...

    L. Ron Hubbard - the art, not the man

    L. Ron Hubbard was a con man, abuser, liar, cheat, megalomaniac, pathetic excuse for a human being. Everyone, myself included, knows that. But that was the man. When it comes to his art, I'll bet at least 1% of his work can be called decent, to say the least. What do you guys say? Yay or nay?

    Well, we have overpopulation, the forrests are going away, soon enough we'll have to eat bugs, pollution is at a gargantuan rate, and, not so long from now, we will sun-bathe in Siberia in January. That's how.

    Understanding Sea Level Changes: The Role of Melted Ice and Gravitational Forces

    In my opinion, the film that predicted our times best is "Soylent Green," and the author who did so was John Brunner, with his The Sheep Look Up and Zanzibar. What do you guys think?
