the doomsday code

The Doomsday Code (Google Video; 1 hr, 41 min) (Dial-up users: It may take a while for you to view it.)

This is a documentary that aired on Channel 4 in the UK last fall (?) sometime. To say the least, it was a very interesting viewing.

(Hat tip to one of the Eddies at Edge of Faith)

from the “wow” files

A skydiver, with two non-functioning parachutes, falls over two miles to the ground…and survives!

friday five ~ february 9 edition

Friday5.org » Friday 5 for February 9: Testing, Testing…

1. When you were a student, would you have been more likely to turn your test in first or last?
Somewhere in between, actually. But probably closer to last.

2. Question 1 on a test can be narrowed down to either A or B (you’re sure it’s one or the other). Question 12 on the test can be narrowed down to the same two answers. You know one is A and the other is B. Do you go for the all-or-nothing guess (choosing A for one and B for the other) or do you play it safe and take one correct (choosing A for both questions)?

It depends on what the questions are and if I know the answers.

3. Are you more of a multiple-choicer, a true-falser, a fill-in-the-blanker, or a free-responder?
True/False and free response.

4. What are your thoughts on standardized college aptitude tests such as the SAT?
I think they’re stupid, honestly. Let’s just say my grades were better than my SAT score. *nods*

5. In the past week, in what ways have you been tested?
n/a

haggard’s out…of “rehab”, that is

Haggard now “completely heterosexual” - Yahoo! News

Let’s just say I have my reservations and leave it at that. *nods*

UPDATE (Feb. 8) Apparently, the prostitute who called out Haggard in the first place attended his former church recently, and was greeted warmly, according to New Life’s associate pastor.

whatever

I hope all you Colts fans are happy now.

And that ESPN’s commentators will shut up about Peyton Manning.

And that the fella himself just goes away already.
