Its been even extra hard getting on the interwebs lately. Look what I just found: Hulu has every episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents streaming for free!

Women Scorned
What is worse than a woman scorned? Three of them."The man's wife and two of his girlfriends hatched a plot to lure him to a Stockbridge motel on July 30 and confront him after learning that he was having "sexual relations" with all of them, a criminal complaint states."
So they tied him to a bed, slapped him and super glued his penis to his stomach.
Sounds reasonable to me.
Baby Panda
The San Diego Zoo's baby panda just turned a month old a week ago today. He had his second physical exam today. Here's a link to the first and second exams:

Civilsations: Why They Fail
This is an excellent article from an ezine I receive by the name of "Cosmos." It is a general focus about all forms of science.
This issue features a very interesting article about Civilisations and Why They Fail. This is the first time I have seen validated a position I have held for years: that if we don't good care of and nurture our earth and its natural resources we are doomed to extinction ourselves. I have frequently said that if we can't find the wherewithal to save a few thousand of an endangered species we are doomed to extinction ourselves.
This is an excellent article and I hope you will find something of interest in it to you personally.

Omega Centauri
Today's NASA Image of the Day (to screen right) is that of Omega Centauri. This is but one of the new images provided by the newly refurbished Hubble Space Telescope. Imagine this -- this light has taken millions, perhaps billions of light years to travel to the point that we can "see" it.
It always amazes me how we can look at the night sky and see but a smattering of light from stars that are closest to us. Yet, when we stop to think about the sheer distances involved, they are still light years from us. Just a rough translation of the "light year" involved times the distance light can travel in one year (or what is also called an "astronomical unit") means our Universe is larger than we can possibly comprehend in our finite minds.
The next time you gaze at the night sky keep that in mind -- it puts life, and our concept of it into an amazing perspective that is difficult to fathom.

Obama Speech
How many of you watched Obama's speech last night? What are your thoughts about the substance of the speech itself? What are your thoughts about the conduct of the Republican side of the chamber?
New Space Pictures
The Hubble telescope was recently fixed. Some of its instruments hadn't been working properly. NASA has released new photos that show extraordinary images.
