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.
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…?
Time certainly has decided to move faster, don’t you think?
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?
Light above Australia called likely ball lightning.. but it’s an amazing scene nonetheless..
This week: Winter comes to the Northeast. Goodbye 70s.. hello the real thing.
Can’t say it’s the ‘return of winter’ since winter never really hit yet. This is the first time this year. And because of that, it will appear to be even colder than it is, until the body adjusts.. We aren’t used to this, Eastern Seaboard people. Time to put away the shorts and employ the highest degree of warmth available to you. Times are changing. The polar express is late. But arriving..
This is a lost never really seen before poster for BACK TO THE FUTURE from 1985.. I would sure love to own it. I guess now I can! As can you..
The poster is going up for auction.
And from Ewbanks auction page, a description and price set. The auction scheduled for February 12, 2016. In the future..
FROM NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC:
Strewn in the shallows of the Indian Ocean off Tanzania lie shards of dead coral reefs.
Remember that song?
Some words..
I just wanted to be a big name
For you.But I got caught up in this craziness
Without you.We made a deal with him,
He said he’d rise us upIn exchange for something small.
I am sure you recall that song now, right?
Actually you probably don’t. (If you did, there may be some issues).. The post appears in the /nosleep Reddit thread.. the post’s author Hartijay writes ominously:
I downloaded the file and listened to it immediately. I recognized the song the second I heard it. I have no idea whether or not Hoskins is telling the truth, so I put the clip up on YouTube and sent it to some friends to see if they recognize it. They all agree this was the song, including Matt.
I don’t know what to make of this. I mean, it is kind of catchy in an out-there kind of way, and I’ve listened to it a few times just because it is kind of enjoyable and reminds me of my days in college.
Does anyone else remember “See You After, Babe” from 2008???
I just…I need to hear the whole song again, and it sucks knowing I never will.
Perhaps the creepiest part of this entire story of See You After Babe: I sort of initially recalled the song. I kind of, well, questioned my sanity afterwards.. So I sent this to my wife, who is an amateur expert on music. She did not recall it but was really bothered by the whole thing, even wondering aloud if the whole post could be REAL after all. Then I sent it to other friends, all of whom felt the same way. Creeped out even though they knew, probably, it was not real..
I went on to peruse the commentary that the post was getting on Reddit, You Tube, and @sixpenceee.. It would appear a number of people aren’t getting the hoax of it all and believing it, even desperately searching for the ‘whole song’ somewhere online..
I think that is because, deep down, we all know there have been times we have been hit with time slips–those moments when your reality is shaken to the core and no one else realized how they slipped, too.. Times when what you thought was real turns out to be a dream. Or vice versa..
So this song, this ‘2008 one hit wonder,’ seems to nicely fit into that category.
As one Reddit response went,
I Googled both the song and the group. Not sure if I am glad that the search turn up with irrelevant results. I half-expected there to be pictures of 3 guys on an album cover…
Because the story seems to real..
This is quite a legendary No Sleep Reddit story already. Guaranteed it will show up on a paranormal site near you.
Week three for STAR WARS.. and it’s still rocking and rolling the New Years box office in 2016..
Much may change soon–look at that 40% drop. It’s bound to happen.. big dollars cannot continue forever..
Or…
Can they.
Nonetheless, the movie top ten this week.. DADDY is home but nothing near strong enough to topple Kylo Ren’s return with the dark side..

Their fear: The hashtag #OscarsSoWhite will be trending on social media again.
The academy found itself on the defensive last year when white actors earned all 20 of the nominations in the lead and supporting categories. The topic came to define the Academy Awards so much that host Neil Patrick Harris opened the ceremony by quipping: “Tonight we honor Hollywood’s best and whitest. Sorry, brightest.”
The good thing to remember, all: The Oscars are completely and utterly meaningless when it comes to what is actually a good film.
I wrote several predictions for 2016 and published then on here a few days ago.. Read them if you choose.
I have also been reading some other people’s predictions. One I found in the Wall Street JOURNAL is amazingly accurate, wish I would have said it myself.
Ann Patchett predicts the return of book stores.. She writes,
This is going to be a fabulous year for books. In 2016, Elizabeth Strout has her best novel yet coming out, “My Name Is Lucy Barton,” and I can’t wait to sell the late Paul Kalanithi’s gorgeous “When Breath Becomes Air,” and just when you think Louise Erdrich can’t get any better, she goes and writes “LaRose.” Go to your local independent bookstore this year and buy a copy. You’ll be part of the trend.
Independent book stores are amazing. All book stores are amazing.
In my county, Schuylkill County Pennsylvania, there are virtually no more book stores left. We have to leave the county to get somewhere meaningful in the print world. This has become a detriment since my nearly 5-year-old loves book stores..
Last month, we signed up at the library for the first time, at least for me, in 15 years.
It’s all worth it.
And yes, progress is amazing. Tech is great. But there will never be anything which surpasses holding paper bound together in your hand and turning pages. .
2016.. the return of book stores. I like that one.
Cliven Bundy is also advising the local ranchers, Steven and Dwight Hammond, not to submit to federal authorities as required on Monday. Instead, Bundy is urging them to go to the Harney County jail and ask for “protective custody.”
A ‘real’ headline from ‘real’ media..
That chilling vision for this year, courtesy of the fine reporting at the MIRROR:
And now it has been revealed that, before her death at age 85 she predicted “a 2016 invasion by Muslim extremists” across Europe.
Oh… Baba Vanga died in 1996, by the way.
She must have been REALLY good to still be quoted today…
