Investigators in New York have a man in custody who has implicated himself in the 1979 disappearance of 6-year-old Etan Patz, Commissioner Ray Kelly of the New York Police Department said Thursday.

The little man was happily watching the Celtics game and just mere minutes later sleeping. I guess kids are funny like that.

The hunt for planet X

An astronomer insists it is out there .. And says facts and observations back him up. What say you, all?

Put this one in the "I don't want this as a gift for Christmas" category.. A vial of Ronald Reagan's "blood" went on sale.. A lot of people are outraged

This story is more than creepy.

Owning Ronald Reagan’s blood, for some, may be like having Christ’s himself. But .. alas..this is real life. And real blood, supposedly from Reagan. 

I’m not buying any of it. Including the blood..

I bet some more airline workers may end up losing jobs

Indeed.. now there are going to be holograms to greet you at airports and guide you as opposed to real people.

Help me Obi Wan.. and all that stuff. Technology continues to outdo itself, doesn’t it?

The state of the union: Man passed out on a sidewalk, robbed of everything

Was it the liquor that caused the behavior.. or maybe the lack of …something… in our collective heart and soul?

Creeped out yet? CBS in D.C. reporting: "With the use of domestic drones increasing, concern has not just come up over privacy issues, but also over the potential use of lethal force by the unmanned aircraft."

Nuclear annihilation is just on my mind tonight..

Early this evening I wrote about the new CHERNOBYL DIARIES causing controversy. Moments ago I wrote about the Fukushima nightmare…

And I just ran across this little snippet of a quote from Michio Kaku on Chernobyl—his words in my opinion are much scarier than any horror flick

You know the Chernobyl core is still melting into the earth? It’s still melting into the earth.

It’s a never ending nightmare.

Eventually they’re going to have to put concrete under the melted core to prevent it from hitting groundwater and creating perhaps a steam explosion

That is pretty frightening to contemplate… don’t you think?

The Fukushima files..

I take news from Fukushima with a grain of salt. Maybe instead I should take news about the nuclear disaster constantly in progress with a capsule of iodine instead, but I’m not quite there yet.

But where I am is constantly freaked by the news coming from there—news that the mainstream media really, arguably, is not reporting. Japan still grapples with the devastation of a post-quake land.. post tsunami.. Always on edge due to continuous jolts from fault lines. The ring of fire is on fire, and has been since March 2011.

The latest from Fukushima, however, gave me a chill to my core. I ponder over the words from Mitsuhei Murata, former Japanese ambassador to Switzerland..  he said another accident in Reactor No. 4 could cause a “final catastrophe of the world”.. 

Also today, another story floated around the world like earthquake debris: A former Fukushima worker believes that the ‘entire country’ of Japan could be evacuated if No. 4 fuel pool collapses.

Hear that? The entire country.
Oh I’m sorry, you’re busy watching the CHERNOBYL DIARIES trailer.. Get back to that, then… 

Words of Murata and this Daiichi worker got immediate attention after translation. Whether anything was lost in translation? I don’t know.. whether it was hyperbole? I don’t know.. Was Murata trying to just get attention of the world on Fukushima? Attention that slipped away steadily since radiation starting pouring out of the reactor and spread across the world.

Oh, and yes, if you’re on a beautiful beach somewhere along the left coast, get ready: The shores will soon be plagued by debris from Japan. It’s already hitting Hawaii and Alaska. 

It is a small world after all.

So raise a glass to luck. And hopefully Murata is wrong and our luck will not run out…

This whole Facebook IPO fiasco is just getting more and more strange.. now regulators are set to review Morgan Stanley allegations

Allegations state that Morgan Stanley shared negative news with big investors right before Facebook went public… this news today after only days since Facebook was unveiled on the market—and the stock declined ferociously ever since.

Another story about the Facebook financial drama from CNBC, which reports that the stock selloff Monday nearly turned into a run..

But think of it this way: Facebook is virtual. It’s selling virtual reality. And in reality it’s selling you. So really, what market investor really wants to invest in you anyway?

Is it too soon for a Chernobyl movie?

When CHERNOBYL DIARIES is released, Friends of Chernobyl Centers U.S. will not be in attendance.. The group has blasted the film over the portrayal..

In the movie, six tourists enter the nuclear town to discover horrific zombies and nuclear-drenched people.. Scares ensue. Problem is, Chernobyl is a real life tragedy. A meltdown in 1986 was one of the biggest nuclear disasters in history .. in real life, thousands of people have died and 400,000 had to leave when the incident took place..

The furor over the film began with a report on TMZ with comments from the group that is angry over the movie .. but today, a new report on TMZ gets the producer’s side of the story: Oren Peli said the film was done with respect for the ‘86 disaster and its victims..

Peli told TMZ: “As for the claim that our film exploits anyone — we could not disagree more vigorously. First of all, the criticism and accusations are coming from a group that has not seen the film, whereas conversely the praise for it is coming from those who have indeed seen it” .. More here..

Perhaps Peli will strike gold and FUKUSHIMA DIARIES will be next?

So what are your thoughts, all?

SpaceX a go… And now the private space race will begin.. We’ve come a long way since Soviet monkeys in tin vessels… Sputnik to the moon landing to celebrities and the wealthy on private flights .. Leaving us lowly and pitiful folk to waste on Earth.

Just wish we’d be privy to all the passengers on board..

I’d like to think that Truman Burbank ended up liking life outside his show. But after much consideration since 1998, I think maybe he ended up trying to find a way back into the comfortable safety net of predictability and fraud that he was used to. Fourteen years is, after all, quite a long time.

Good morning.

And in case I don’t see you, good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

So what did we learn today

Nothing

At all.
