The World for People who Think
Don't Panic! Lighten Up!S
2,000 Miles beneath Bavaria, Germany - Mytron the Fifth, Illuminati ruler and secret mastermind of the entire human race since the year 8449 on the world's true calendar, died yesterday in his subterranean bedchamber. He was 112.
The rise in global temperatures since 1880 closely correlates with increases in postal charges, sparking alarm that CO2 has been usurped as the main driver of climate change.
Back in 1885 it cost 2 cents to post a letter. Who would have thought that as postal charges climbed by 40 cents through the next 120 years, that global temperatures would mirror that rise in timing and slope and gain almost one full degree?
Ominously, US Post is set to raise the charges 2c to 44c on May 11, 2009. Postal Action Network (PAN) has already sprung into existence this afternoon and plans to produce a boycott campaign of the new 44c Homer Simpson stamps. Overworked postal workers are enthusiastic. Homer Simpson is reported to have said "Give me the number for 911."

The evidence that has allowed the truth about Toyotas to become revealed are the few hundred anecdotal reports from drivers, one heartbreaking 911 phone call report involving a police officer, and one in-the-lab test conducted under un-natural conditions. Armed with this information dozens, if not hundreds of lawsuits have already been filed against Toyota. Congress has put aside other issues to conduct hearings, and the U.S. Secretary of Transportation has decreed that people should not drive their Toyota vehicles*.
The purpose of this article is not to judge the validity of the Toyota SUA stories
and claims, or to contradict Ray LaHood's no-drive mandate. In fact, being a believer in extraterrestrial civilizations and visitations, I rather like the certainty that can determined from overall Toyota finding.
Some clips from my recent trip to Cambridge. What a lovely city. Thanks to Simon for putting me on the train there.

Ontario - Sixty-seven-year-old Moira Williams of #508-303 Macdonald Avenue was arrested this morning at 3:15 a.m. at her residence and charged with one count of mischief.
It is alleged that throughout the evening of the 1st of March and into the early morning hours of the 2nd, the accused, while under the influence of alcohol, repeatedly called 911 requesting the police to go to a store and purchase cigarettes for her.
After being warned several times by police not to call back unless it was an emergency, she continued to call and was charged.

The Love Police was doing the usual, enjoying free speech in a corporate zone, and the Beefeaters (Royal Guardians) of the Tower of London called the Police on us. Again. This time, the Police knew to send more than one officer. They sent an Inspector (rather senior), two Sargeants, and five officers. 4 Police cars. Sirens. This is our attempt to show you how to stop yourself getting arrested under this RIDICULOUS and OVER-USED Terror Act.

"We would like to extend our deepest apologies to each and every one of you," announced CEO Eric Schmidt, speaking from the company's Googleplex headquarters. "Clearly there have been some privacy concerns as of late, and judging by some of the search terms we've seen, along with the tens of thousands of personal e-mail exchanges and Google Chat conversations we've carefully examined, it looks as though it might be a while before we regain your trust."
Added Schmidt, "Whether you're Michael Paulson who lives at 3425 Longview Terrace and makes $86,400 a year, or Jessica Goldblatt from Lynnwood, WA, who already has well-established trust issues, we at Google would just like to say how very, truly sorry we are."
London - An English dog-owner has been fined after taking his pet for a stroll while driving next to the animal in his car.
Prosecutors said Paul Railton was spotted driving at low speed along a country lane in December, holding his dog's leash through the car window as the animal trotted alongside.
Railton pleaded guilty Monday to not being in proper control of a vehicle.
His attorney, Paul Donoghue, said the 23-year-old Railton acknowledged that "it was a silly thing to do and there was an element of laziness" while he was exercising his lurcher, a type of crossbred sighthound.

'Be in no doubt', he said, 'Tehran has the weapon, they have it! -And as we speak, I am in no doubt, they are watching us with those big binoculars.'
Many assembled press-men, followed his nervous glance toward the window, myself included.
'Oh yes, they watch us all the time,' he continued. 'They watch us as we drive our children to school, they watch our politicians as they draw up defensive plans to strike Iran, they could even, God forbid, watch us in our private moments.'
During the course of his paranoid diatribe, Gissin seemed to be becoming more and more agitated. Eventually he broke:
'For God's sake, will someone please close those curtains!' he screamed.
An Ohio woman taken to a maternity ward in her wedding dress became a newlywed and a new mom on the same day.
Jamie Phillips says she felt contractions while her father walked her down the aisle during her wedding ceremony Saturday in Toledo in northwest Ohio, but she thought it was a false alarm. It wasn't until after her water broke at the reception that she was rushed to a hospital in Sylvania.
The baby boy, named Tova, wasn't due until March 7. His mother and her new husband, Mark Phillips, didn't think the baby would come quite so soon when they planned the wedding two weeks earlier.
