Big Foot Big Flop

Two men claiming to have found the remains of Big Foot submitted DNA from the remains for testing. The results have come back with the results that their Big Foot is more opossum than ape.

Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer are the two men who claimed to have found the body. By sheer coincidence they are co owner of a company that make Big Foot merchandise. Who would have guessed at that.

A Man And His Hobbies

Shigeru Miyamoto can not discuss his hobbies. It's not that they are bad but they make Nintendo Billions. Miyamoto hobby for gardening helped him create the game Pikmin. When he got a puppy he made Nintendogs. After he decide to lose weight he designed WiiFit.

The above games have made Nintendo billions of dollars and they do not want Shigeru discussing his hobbies out of fear someone will design a game best off his hobby.

If I was Nintendo I'd make sure he had plenty of free time to try new hobbies.

Tropical Update

There is new activity 200 miles east the Leeward Islands. The disturbance is moving North - North West at 10 to 15 miles an hour.

1400 mile East of the Leeward Islands is an area of low pressure.

There is another storm just of the coast of Africa also moving westward.

The Tears Of Saint Lawrence

If you look at the stars tonight you may see The Tears of Saint Lawrence.

Laurentius, a Christian deacon, was martyred by the Romans in 258 AD on an outdoor stove. It was in the midst of this torture that Laurentius cried out: "I am already roasted on one side and, if thou wouldst have me well cooked, it is time to turn me on the other."

The saint's death was commemorated on August 10. King Phillip II of Spain built his monastery place the "Escorial," on the plan of the holy gridiron. And the abundance of shooting stars seen annually between approximately Aug. 8 and 14 have come to be known as St. Lawrence's "fiery tears."

The tears are in fact of part of the Swift Tuttle comet. This time every year the Earths orbit crosses the path of the Swift Tuttle comet providing the meteor shower. The comet particles sail into Earths atmosphere at 37 miles per second.

NFL Network

I has settled in to watch my first Dallas Cowboys preseason game on the NFL Network.
First off the game started several minutes late and not only did I miss the kick off butthe first score of the game.
After a long commercial break I saw a few more minutes of the Cowboys game when it was replaced without any announcement by the different game entirely. The game was the New York Jets and the Cleavland Browns.
Either someone screwed up or the NFL flat out lied and hope no one would notice.
In any case I found the Cowboys game on another channel.
The score is currently San Diego 38 Dallas Cowboys 14.

Not a promising start for the new season.
Maybe the Cowboys should spend more time on football and less time worrying about the new stadium.

Halo 3 Figure

TagWorld R.I.P.

I tried to get back into my Tag World page to discovered that the whole site has had a major reworking. This is more of a rape than a redesign. The entire site has been rendered unusable. Good work Flux you have totally destroyed a wonderful community.
