A reality show that promises to sell off three virgins to the highest bidder is — to say the least — raising a storm of controversy on two sides of the Pacific. The show is the brainchild of an Australian filmmaker, Justin Sisley, and will be made for TV there. But, as of yesterday, the show was set to be filmed in Nevada. The three virgins — two women and one man — are to be paid $20,000 each plus 90 percent of their “sale price” to take part in the auction, according to a report in the Sydney Daily...

FAIRBORN — Though Ohio’s unemployment rate has almost reached 11 percent, one man recently laid off — on his birthday, no less — did not let his situation keep him from pursuing his passions. “It was either that or give up. I just had to apply myself,” said Mike Deal of Fairborn. Deal said that he tried to get his first patent when he was nine years old for a remote-controlled camera. “I couldn’t get the funding for a patent, though. No one would give a 9-year-old the funding for a patent,” said Deal, laughing. Deal’s latest patent idea, however,...

President Bush is pursuing a globalist agenda to create a North American Union, effectively erasing our borders with both Mexico and Canada. This was the hidden agenda behind the Bush administration's true open borders policy. Secretly, the Bush administration is pursuing a policy to expand NAFTA politically, setting the stage for a North American Union designed to encompass the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. What the Bush administration truly wants is the free, unimpeded movement of people across open borders with Mexico and Canada. President Bush intends to abrogate U.S. sovereignty to the North American Union, a new economic and political...

Boston, MA (LifeNews.com) -- Three Massachusetts women, with the backing of leading pro-abortion organizations, have filed a lawsuit against Wal-Mart because the nation's top retailer does not carry the morning after pills, which can sometimes cause an abortion. An attorney in the case did not have more details, including the names of the women who sued, but told the Boston Globe newspaper the lawsuit is based on long-standing pharmacy regulations in the state. Responding to the lawsuit, a Wal-Mart spokeswoman, Sarah Clark, said the company doesn't carry the morning after pill for "business reasons." She declined to discuss those reasons...

Computer simulations show that a common nanoparticle called a buckyball has the potential to damage DNA. The simulations suggest that buckyballs bind strongly to the DNA strands, distorting the molecules and interfering with functions like self-repair. Researchers caution that the simulations do not prove that buckyballs actually do any damage in the real world. But the work does raise another concern about possible dangers of nanotechnology. On Thursday, the US Environmental Protection Agency released a draft paper that called for more research into the safety of nanotechnology, saying that there are a number of unanswered questions about possible effects on...

In the New York Times Sunday book review, Newsweek Senior Editor Jonathan Alter checks out "Truth and Duty," the apologia from Mary Mapes, the disgraced former CBS News producer of "Memogate" infamy, in which she blames right-wing bloggers and everyone but herself for how her "expose" of Bush's National Guard duty blew up in the face of her network. The liberal Alter is highly critical of Mapes and CBS, but makes a rather paranoid and over-the-top claim about "Buckhead," the Atlanta attorney who originally questioned the fake documents used by CBS's "60 Minutes II" to attack President Bush's Texas Air...

For anyone that has Google Earth Please looks at 76 degrees S by 59 degrees W in Antarctica. I see what seems to be a triangular shaped wall in the middle of nowhere. It's HUGE! One part of the wall is zigzagged. If anyone knows what this is please inform me as it's driving me nuts.

A majority of adults in the United States support the views of creationism, according to a poll by Gallup released by CNN and USA Today. 53 per cent of respondents say God created human beings in their present form at one time within the last 10,000 years or so.Conversely, 31 per cent of respondents believe human beings have developed over millions of years from less advanced forms of life with God guiding this process, while 13 per cent think God had no part in the development of man.Charles Darwin’s "The Origin of Species" was first published in 1859.

The Tax Reform Act of 1986 was one of the major accomplishments initiated by the Reagan Administration, passed by a Democratic House and Republican Senate. One of the most important pieces of tax legislation since WWII, it sought to "level the playing field" by curbing tax shelters, lowering corporate tax rates, and eliminating special treatment for capital gains. Thereafter, capital gains, earned income, and unearned income were all taxed at the same rate. In economists' language, it brought the average marginal tax rates on labor and capital income closer together. Since 1986, other tax legislation has again increased taxation on...

My "Swirl Theory"We hear of string theory, the Big Bang and many other ideas.I have come up with this idea over the past several days. Katrina and Rita has turned my attention towards this as I have discovered a new theory as of late that black holes may be present at the center of each galaxy.Using the theory that a black hole could have possibly been created in space by gases which collapsed into itself churning and sucking gasses and space debris around it into a swirling vortex. This swirling vortex of gas eventually condensed into planets and solar systems.Here...
