But would the son of God use an iPhone? I picture him more of a Droid owner..

Either way, Catholics are now able to confess their sins in the 21st century.. in style. Yes, indeed, there’s an ‘app’ for that.. Maybe they will be able to get a live webcam to Limbo to see all those unbaptized babies!! oh..wait..! The Pope shut down Limbo in 2006.. And that was long before APPs and wireless confessions.

The holy rolling Pontiff shuts down limbo and we Catholics can now confess its evil doings all with their thumbs.

Now that’s progress.

Unfortunately, some may try to open their Catholic confessional app but get their hacked iPhone porn apps by accident..

Out in the West Texas Town of El Paso, they fell in love with a drop of water

Judging from some notes, reblogs, and an email I got today, the situation in El Paso tonight appears to be quite desperate.. There was some snow melt today, I’m told, but also some more leaks were discovered. What has not changed today however is the following:

1. Businesses still shut down due to water problems


2. Car washes not washing.


3. People who have water being told to boil water..


4. And lots of people desperate.. As one reblog of an earlier Coal Speaker post said:
   

   Hope they can lift the restriction soon. I am really sick of “camping” in our own house.

111 million people watched the Green Bay Packers win the Super Bowl last night.

And that must be very embarassing for The Black Eyed Peas and Christina Aguilera.

Damn you Check Engine light.. With your orange haunting presence.. Damn you..

Oh and by the way, it wasn't 400 turned away from the Super Bowl last night

It was 1,250..

Hey when did the NFL start doing karaoke during the Super Bowl halftime show?

Thank God for Slash

But a shame Fergie can’t keep up. I’m actually wishing Christina Aguilera was back ruining the National Anthem..,

For a second I thought American Idol was on instead of the Super Bowl

I only realized it was still the game when the Black Eyed Peas were not kicked off the stage..

21-10 at the half

The Steelers score—it’s about time..

21-3 Packers lead.. Blowout potential beginning to occur unless the Black Eyed Peas inspire a big Ben comeback..

The Green Bay Packers have been predicted to win, some say by 2 and as much as 10 by others. Steelers lose by 10? Either all of the prognosticators are correct or the fix is in.. We will see. Not that football is like pro-wrestling or anything…

Developing story

2011 CQ1 was a close call for earth

The earth almost had a possible significant impact from an asteroid on February 4 .. While these events occur all of the time, the troubling aspect of this most recent earth-danger was that it was only noticed hours before potential impact. Richard Kowalski at Mount Bigelow Observatory near Tuscon, Arizona found it, and quickly notified the rest of the scientific community.

The name: 2011 CQ1. It was small, only 6.5 to 10 feet across — but that still could have caused serious problems for wherever on earth it would have struck.

Some other sources for the news:

Space: Tiny Asteroid Zips Close By Earth
Universe Today: Small Asteroid Just Buzzed Earth

…with all of our modern technology and our advanced knowledge, we only notice a possible earth changing event hours before it hits.. Wow.

Barbara Walters’ special tonight on ABC is quite thought provoking.. David Letterman, years ago, had Regis Philbin on his show where they spoke about a typical check up.. The day after, the entertainment world was shocked to learn of Letterman’s dramatic and necessary open heart surgery.. When Letterman came back, Robin Williams appeared as a doctor making light of Letterman’s surgery. Regis had his own open heart surgery in 2007.. Robin Williams in 2009.

While of course I am not at all simplifying the issue of claiming there is anything ‘contagious’ about open heart surgery, but the reason I bring it up is that these three influential people—not to mention President Bill Clinton, reporter Charlie Rose, and reporter Barbara Walters—would have all been potentially taken away from earth and placed into the next realm..

Were they are to have succumbed to their ultimate fate, there would be plenty of lessons left untaught..

The biggest names of our generation all had the same disease.. And amazingly they are all alive to tell us why we need to stay on guard for the same thing.

DRINK UP..

Just in time for the weekend, Men’s Healthis out with a full listing of the drunkest cities in the United States..

Did you make the cut?
More drinking needed?
Do the cities with the highest amounts of heart disease also coincide with the drunkest of all?

While I’d have to do more research on that, Men’s Health has the full list, but reprinted here is the top ten:

1.) Fresno, CA
2.) Reno, NV
3.) Billings, MT
4.) Riverside, CA
5.) Austin, TX
6.) St. Louis, MO
7.) San Antonio, TX
8.) Lubbock, TX
9.) Tucson, AZ
10.) Bakersfield, CA

Scary accident at Super Bowl stadium

Should we have a phobia over Apophis?

NASA says no.. WE should still live after 2029—and 2036. That’s only under the scenario of us making it through 2012..

And if we make it through December, I believe we’ll be fine.

Texas the iceland

The Super Bowl days away, and now people are having trouble catching flights due to winter weather. I can’t imagine it is something the NFL would have dreamed would happen, even this time of year, in a Southern state. Perhaps Super Bowl 2012 will be moved to Mexico..(at least they have power, unlike parts of Texas including hospitals)… As a matter of fact, there have been more than a few angry voices talking about Texas having problems keeping power in—except for the location of this year’s Super Bowl..

Maybe it was painful but at least you made it through another week.

In the future you may be driving on mushrooms

Not driving while being on them .. DRIVING on them.

This is Tahrir Square, Egypt, on February 3, 2011, as captured by AFP reporter Khaled Desouki..

Good luck to all who try to report news in a world that seems to want to stop them.

Egypt state television tonight is showing images of flowers .. All the while panic, chaos, and anarchy rule on the streets

That plus journalists are being threatened for simply showing what is occurring.. The world is watching — or at least trying to … Images on TV of Brian Williams from NBC News using a flashlight to light his own face to report the events of Egypt are simply surreal. We are watching this live on TV and the Internet. This is history. And as I’ve said before, living through history is never pleasant..

Three major news networks today faced threats

ABCNEWS REPORTER THREATENED WITH BEHEADING…
CBSNEWS Lara Logan, Crew Detained…
FOXNEWS reporter, cameraman beaten, hospitalized…

These nets, along with many others, facing threats in Egypt.. Things are seemingly escalating beyond control on the streets of rage.

While demonstrators shout ‘democracy now,’ other pro Mubarak forces march into Tahrir Square on camels, hellbent to injure or kill.. and all the while journalists are braving the streets, hiding cameras, and trying to show images of the revolution and devolution in Egypt..
