Randomosity at its randomest
I can’t believe I actually did it. I bought an iPhone. Updates (maybe pics) to follow. Sometime.
I’ll just say it right now: it’s awesome. Seriously. A very much needed upgrade from my old phone. It was a good ol’ phone, but its time had come. Now it’s off to be recycled, while I enjoy the awesomeness of my iPhone.
Sphere: Related ContentHonestly, will the 9/11 conspiracy theorists ever admit they don’t have anything solid to go on? Case in point: this video. (It should be noted that this link may cease to work shortly, as the Stage6 video service is shutting down. I’ll try to find it elsewhere.) The entire video is based on a couple of minor explosions in the North Tower shortly following United Airlines 175 hitting South Tower. Um, explosions in a burning building? STOP THE FREAKIN’ PRESSES!
Seriously, though. The video claims that explosions were set off in the North Tower to distract from what was happening in South Tower. First off, distract from what? My guess is that the makers of this video believe the “no-plane” theory, which holds that missiles hit the towers instead of airplanes. There are a lot of holes in that theory, but I won’t go into that (besides, few conspiracy theorists actually believe that theory). Second, those minor explosions are hardly distracting. They look more like blown out windows than anything else. You can’t compare that to a massive fireball caused by hundreds of gallons of jet fuel.
This is the kind of thing that makes me wonder why so many people think the government engineered 9/11. This is not evidence. It’s guesswork and opinion. I watched that video and saw nothing out of the ordinary in those North Tower explosions. They happened about a floor or two beneath the impact zone, so it’s not a stretch to conclude that the fire had spread to those floors and caused the windows to blow out, especially when combined with the heat and shockwave caused by the explosion in South Tower. Once again, nothing to see here: move along.
Sphere: Related ContentI’ve always been a Trek fan. Not as fanatic as Trekkies (Trekkers, whatever), but I did watch the entire original series of Star Trek over a couple of summers as a boy. So when I say I’m looking forward to the new Star Trek movie, I mean I’m looking forward to it. Well, I don’t know what else I’d mean if I said that…chalk up another pretty much useless statement by me.
Sphere: Related ContentI don’t know quite how popular this video is, but I just recently re-watched Demetri Martin’s “Jokes With Guitar”, a hilarious stand-up act. If you haven’t watched it, the video is below. Watch it or the rest of the post will make about as much sense as a Bush speech.
It’s a funny monologue, though the drawings accompanying it are…strange. Anyways, there’s a part in there where he’s talking about people writing on bathroom stalls. This is why I thought it awesome when I used a bathroom on my college campus and saw this:
References like that crack me up. Like the number 42 in strange places. Sure, it could just be a random number. Or it could be the Answer to the Question. You know what Question I’m talking about. If you don’t, you suck. Just like Metallica does.
