She gave her mother 40 whacks
When she saw what she had done
She gave her father 41"

Slew of New Exoplanets Found:

NASA has provided an update on the Kepler Space Telescope's search for exoplanets and
the total number of new worlds discovered is staggering. The space agency announced
since their last briefing on the landmark device, Kepler has found an astounding 219
potential new planets, including a tantalizing ten which are thought to be around the
size of the Earth and also reside in an orbit, known as the Goldilocks zone, that is
believed to be the ideal spot for water, and thus life, to exist.

Ole Lizzy was very lucky to have the same Jury as O.J.

Massive Cache of **** Relics Found in Argentina:

Authorities in Argentina have recovered an enormous trove of **** artifacts that had been hidden
in a secret room of a suburban Buenos Aires home. Believed to be the largest such collection ever
found in the country, the 75 creepy pieces of 'memorabilia' are thought to have come from high-ranking
members of the Third Reich. Included in the unsettling collection are several busts and statues of Hitler
as well as a vast array of items such as wooden boxes and swords emblazoned with **** emblems.

51 years ago today, the NFL and AFL announced they would merge. It must have been strange to have 2 separate leagues.

Not really.

USFL. CFL. XFL. WLAF. AAFL. Arena.

 

[JoeKing]

Not really.

USFL. CFL. XFL. WLAF. AAFL. Arena.

Non of those are what I call football but then again the NFL and AFL at the time they merged were hardly the same game that we know as NFL football today. The USFL and XFL were just horrible and the AAFL and WLAF are basically a different sport all together although the WLAF is watchable. The closest thing to the NFL today is the CFL but even it has several differences that just makes it unenjoyable. As a rule... anything with the word "Canadian" attached to it is just a pretender of something American.

A new expedition to an island in the South Pacific aims to finally solve the mystery of Amelia Earhart's
disappearance by using forensic dogs. The famed aviatrix and her navigator, Fred Noonan, went missing during
an attempt to fly around the world in July of 1937 and their uncertain fate has vexed historians and researchers
ever since. However an impending project, set to launch later this week, could produce a breakthrough in the
eighty-year-old case by way of bone-sniffing dogs set loose on an island in the Pacific.

Deformed Sheep Sparks Panic in South Africa:


Residents of a village in South Africa have been gripped with fear following the birth of a monstrous-looking
sheep that appeared to be almost human. Panic took over the town of Lady Frere when photos of the mutated stillborn
lamb spread throughout the community and some of the village elders declared that it had been "sent by the Devil."
Subsequent suspicions of witchcraft at work in the village or an unholy union between man and beast spawned considerable
concerns from members of the village.

Saturday marks the 70th anniversary of Kenneth Arnold's seminal UFO sighting which is
credited as start of the modern UFO era and spawned the term 'flying saucer.' Occurring
just days before the infamous Roswell incident, the Arnold event took place on June 24th, 1947,
when the private pilot was flying past Mount Rainier in Washington state and purportedly spotted
a veritable armada of nine UFOs soaring past his plane. Little did Arnold know that his experience
would soon produce worldwide headlines and still have a profound impact on the world seven decades later.

FBI Joins the Hunt for TX 'Bigfoot':


The Texas city claiming to have Bigfoot lurking in its parks is allegedly getting some help
in the search for the famed cryptid via the FBI, but perhaps they have taken the tale a bit
too far.

Round Rock, Texas made the headlines earlier this month when their Parks and Recreation Department
posted photos of curious tracks which they suggested could have been from Bigfoot.
A cursory examination of the story quickly revealed that it was really just the start of a campaign
organized by the city to entice residents into using the parks this summer to 'look for Bigfoot.'
Nonetheless, the ruse continued late last week when the city posted to their official website that
the FBI had reached out to their chief of police to offer assistance in nabbing Bigfoot.
In an email shared by the city, an FBI Special Agent tells the chief that the Bureau is very concerned
with the Bigfoot reports and that they are nominating the creature for their Top 10 Most Wanted.
The rather clever announcement included a 'Wanted' poster for Bigfoot that accuses the creature of
numerous nefarious deeds and promises a whopping $500,000 for information directly leading to the capture
of the creature.
While one must applaud the ingenuity of whichever parks department employee came up with FBI angle to the story,
it appears that the city might be having second thoughts about the latest twist to the campaign.
Sometime after the news of the FBI involvement had been posted to the city's website on Friday, the page
containing the information was removed, leaving only the message "that page can't be found."
