Pride and prejudice

Monday, April 21st, 2008

I’m not sure who to feel bad or happy for in this video. I would call this epic either way. There’s a lot going on here, so watch the entire clip. (i.e. don’t fast forward)

They might be giants

Monday, April 14th, 2008

Funny the things you find when your not looking. Basically the couple of block quotes below explain how before Noah’s Flood (probably should be called YHWH’s Flood) fallen angels had sexual intercourse with Earth women who in turn gave birth to a race of giants that roamed the land and caused men to be sinful. They had plenty of time to do it in since humans lived to be 120 years old. These giants, were all killed in the flood, that’s why we don’t see them to this day. However, their presence is still with us. God allowed 10% of the spirits of these giants to remain on Earth to influence mankind to do evil. Pretty sweet stuff!

Genesis 6:3

There were giants [nephilim] in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

The “lesser Genesis” called the Book of Jubilees talks about how:

the genesis of angels on the first day of Creation and the story of how a group of fallen angels mated with mortal females, giving rise to a race of giants known as the Nephilim. The Ethiopian version states that the “angels” were in fact the disobedient offspring of Seth (Deqiqa Set), while the “mortal females” were daughters of Cain. This is also the view held by most of the earliest commentators. Their hybrid children, the Nephilim in existence during the time of Noah, were wiped out by the great flood.

Also Hebrew was the Lingua franca for all people and ANIMALS of Earth. A nice explanation for this craziness is that these are remnants a polytheistic Jewish belief system of a nomadic social structure where the decedents of Gods walked amongst mankind.

Cartoon boobs

I guess I’ve been out of the loop on South Parks lately, but I thought at least one of my nerd friends would have informed me about this South Park episode. For anyone, like me, who has seen the cartoon “Heavy Metal” a thousand times, then you MUST see this. Major Boobage. Just as a side note, I wonder if this writer’s strike has encourage shows to put complete episodes online. Either way for someone without cable I definitely reap the rewards. No more bittorrent downloading of Battlestar.

Masonic PR

Sunday, April 6th, 2008

Masonic billboard
This is a thought provoking billboard I drive past on my way to work in the mornings. So does this mean that Ben Franklin isn’t who we think he is? A kite flying francophilic bifocal and stove inventing weather prognosticating founding father. Maybe I misunderstand. OR Perhaps this billboard is referring to the Masons themselves. Maybe they are the ones misunderstood. Seems like this billboard should say: “Not who you think” and under it, “THE MASONS” written in some super awesome script to attract new recruits. I could be completely wrong again.

Here’s my possible interpretations of the billboard

1. The Ben Franklin Image Society is campaigning to get Benny’s pic on more money.
2. The Masons’ numbers are running low and they need new recruits.
3. The Masons are running a PR campaign to do damage control in light of recent movies like National Treasure and The Da Vinci Code.
4. Members of the Masonic Temple are lonesome and want people to ask them stuff.

I haven’t had a chance to fully explore the website, but here it is: askamason

OK, I looked into it little more and I believe the key here is “The Solomon Key.” I’m starting to get bored with this topic so I’ll just say that it’s the name of Dan Brown’s book about Freemasonry. And I can’t tell if its promoting his book or responding to it. Bluggh Oh, well…ambivalence has taken over.

Increasingly impatient

I ain’t getting any younger. None of us are. So why must we endure the slow turning of the oil-deprived wheel of progress any longer? It is because that’s just the way it is…its the way its always been? Answer: Yes. But maybe if we understand it more thoroughly we could overcome our anger? Answer: No. I think what pisses me off is out of date replies and/or implications that are perpetuated in the media. Take for instance the Leslie Stahl interview of Al Gore on 60 minutes last night. She asked him to respond to the fact that there are many out there who still deny that global warming is man made. Gore says hardly anyone says that anymore. And she replies that there are some major characters out there, such as the vice-president who doesn’t think its been proven yet. Al Gore just laughed and said, “You mean Dick Chaney?” He then went on to equate Chaney with people who believe in a staged moon landing and the flat earthers. It was a good answer for a politician. The thing that is a detriment in this scenario is that Stahl felt it was necessary, in some sort of unbiased news reporting, to even have to ask the question. So is it that she’s dumb enough to think that the validity of scientific evidence on this matter is still in doubt? Or does she want to appear unbiased to her peers, so is compelled to ask the question? Either way that fact that she asked Mr. Gore and it was broadcast displays to other reporters that are working their way up the media ladder that: When interviewing someone about global warming you must bring up the fact that others [oil soaked politicians/corporate vampires] still think that the “jury’s still out.” So Thank You Leslie Stahl for ensuring that my grandchildren will be asking me where I stand on the global warming issue.
