Bigfoot – Nessie 2008
Tired of the two party system? Looking for some real change in Washington? Today I discovered that there is finally an independent candidate more obscure that Ralph Nader. That’s right I’m talking about Bigfoot. Apparently everyone’s favorite Sasquatch is making a bid for the presidency with the Loch Ness Monster as his running mate. Head over to the Bigfoot – Nessie 08 campaign site for more info on their historic run for the white house.
The Philadelphia Experiment
So the other day I was checking out the Wikipedia and reading about one of my new favorite topics, Time Dilation. Yeah so I’m a nerd, whatever. Anyway, while checking out wiki articles related to einsteinian time travel, I stumbled across this gem, the Philadelphia Experiment. Its got a little bit of everything, top secret navy project, government cover up, and even alleged teleportation. Its a decent read if you have time to waste, which odds are you do if you read this blog.
My “DJ Name” is Mike Charles
I just wanted to put that one out there, since I still get asked on a semi-regular basis. Seems like where ever i go there is always that 1 dude [or dudette] who asks. The convo will always go something like this:
Dude: Hey man that was a great set, what your name?
MC: Mike Charles, nice to meet you.
Dude: Mike Charles… Yeah man that rocked, so what is your DJ Name?
MC: It’s Mike Charles.
Three Red Lights
In late June or early July my Xbox 360 started acting funny and then I got one red light and an error code. Microsoft shipped me a coffin and I shipped my xbox out for repair. After about a month I got my Xbox back and it worked just fine… until yesterday.
In 1939, under the encouragement of Leó Szilárd, Albert Einstein sent a letter to President Roosevelt urging the study of nuclear fission for military purposes, under fears that the Nazi government would be first to develop nuclear weapons. Roosevelt started a small investigation into the matter which eventually became the massive Manhattan Project.
J. Robert Oppenheimer, the scientific director of the Manhattan project had only one thought upon witnessing the world’s first atomic bomb explode. Both were quotes from the Bhagavad Gita, the holy book of Hinduism.
“If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the mighty one. Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds”
Before his death, Einstein was quoted as saying “I made a great mistake when I signed the letter to President Roosevelt recommending that atomic bombs be made.“
