South Korea to restart propaganda loudspeakers on North's border

The tension returns.. The war games return..

The broadcasts will restart on Friday, South Korea’s presidential office says, calling the North’s bomb test a “grave violation” of an agreement in August between the two Koreas, which had aimed to ease mutual tension. At that time, the two traded artillery fire after Pyongyang had demanded a halt to the broadcasts.

One of these is me. The other is is Doug Walker, an online movie critics with almost 700,000 followers on YouTube..
I may have found my much more popular doppelgänger.. Perhaps contact should be made? But would works collide? Would the center of gravity give out?
By the way the close up is me. The other one is the popular guy.

Rob Zombie's '31' Receives an R-Rating - Bloody Disgusting!

There were tears from the hardcore horror buffs who demand blood and gore.. This movie got an NC 17 two times.
Obviously something or somethings were cut to make it R..

No worries for those still craving the desire to see needless violence.. 31 is still going to feature, “strong bloody horror violence, pervasive language, sexual content and drug use.”
Rejoice. I suppose.

Happy Russian Christmas ..

'New shock claim' JFK was 'murdered by CIA' days after demanding UFO files and NASA visit

It’s really not a new claim.. It’s been around as long as conspiracy lure concerning the Kennedy assassination.. But it’s always interesting to see it splashed again in tabloids with new evidence being offered up that it was the desire to know the truth about space aliens that may have got JFK killed..

MEET THE FISH FROM THAILAND THAT WAS CUT IN HALF AND LIVED SIX MORE MONTHS

I am excited! I just found out that the 2013 short film LIGHTS OUT will be a movie coming July of this year!

Now they are making a long film about the same story .. it’s in post-production right and currently set for a July 2016 release.

And no time better than now to celebrate the obvious.. the short film from 2013.

My son got sea monkeys as a gift for Christmas..

And ….his parents killed them.

On that note.. here’s some interesting facts about sea monkeys.

The demon next to the baby..

This is going viral.. The very TABLOID UK SUN reports:

WHAT should have been a heart-warming experience for expectant parents turned into a chilling moment as a bizarre demon-shaped figure was found lurking in an ultrasound image.

The snap has gone viral since it was posted on imgur a day ago under the headline ‘A friend’s ultrasound. When you see it …’, where visitors to the site quickly picked up on the disturbing presence of the ‘demon’, seen in the top right-hand corner of the mother’s womb.

The sinister grainy outline has divided commentators, as some insist the shape resembles a mythical creature, while others among the 710,000 social media users to have seen the page insist it depicts something more sinister.

Yes, it’s really ‘volcano season,’ say scientists.. And: There’s a 5 percent to 10 percent chance in the next 80 years, scientists say, one of these eruptions will kill millions of people and poison the atmosphere beyond the imagination of anything man’s activity could do in 1,000 years.

So there you go, then.

Americans Confused About Cancer Risks

Well when a new study comes out daily refuting the previous day’s study about what causes cancer, should there be any confusion as to why there is confusion to begin with!? Honestly, navigating through the realities of what and how to eat is difficult..

Studies about what cause cancer may actually cause cancer, according to a new study.

Insult or not

My wife and I took our son to see ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS this weekend.. when we were there, the cashier told me, “When you come here, we all say you are the guy who looks like Ed Helms.” I thanked them for their….honestly? I contemplated this a bit.

I love VACATION, really funny movie. Ed Helms is talented.. but .. looking like Ed Helms? What place does that put me in life? Where am I now..? The guy who looks like Ed Helms to movie theater employees.

Insult? or not?

Nah…?

Panty hose comeback..

Or so some say.

But beware.. there are 48 reasons from Buzzfeed you may want to reconsider.

Asteroid 2013 TX68 was discovered in October 2013. And it’s going to be in the news March 2016

Yes, this year..

The asteroid often makes close approaches to Earth, and will make one such approach sometime between March 3 and March 8, 2016

Get this: 

While the nominal (best fit) orbit suggests that it will pass 1.3 Lunar distances (LD) from the Earth, it may pass as close as 0.061 LD (23,600 km) to the Earth or 0.032 LD (12,200 km) to the Moon- although not using the same orbit. The asteroid is only 21-52 meters across, making it approximately as twice as large as the Chelyabinsk meteor and likely creating a large fireball in the sky, and possibly an impact crater. This would create an impact between 100 and 575 meters across, assuming an impact angle of less than 45 degrees.

Here is the official NASA page on the coming event.

The Ides of March, anyone?

A controversial meme posted on a website thought to belong to Iran’s Supreme Leader suggested the only difference between Saudi rulers and ISIS executioners was the clothes they wore

CDC DEBATE: The agency’s website previously had said that any risks “likely are comparable to other lifestyle choices we make every day.” Within weeks, though, the C.D.C. reversed course. It no longer recommended caution, and deleted a passage specifically addressing potential risks for children. Mainstream scientific consensus holds that there is little to no evidence that cellphone signals raise the risk of brain cancer or other health problems; rather, behaviors like texting while driving are seen as the real health concerns. Nevertheless, more than 500 pages of internal records obtained by The New York Times, along with interviews with former agency officials, reveal a debate and some disagreement among scientists and health agencies about what guidance to give as the use of mobile devices skyrockets.
