Waking the Dead
1999-02-01 03:32:00
I love it when the media makes some big deal over "new scientific proof!" of something really obvious like "Poor People Receive Inferior Health Care, Study Says" or "Taking 5,000 Vitamins at Once is Bad, Says Noted Expert." Well, here's another one: alarm clocks are hazardous to your health.
This week there's finally proof that alarm clocks are dangerous, and in some cases, deadly. Scientists have document a case where a 22-year-old man went into cardiac arrect after his alarm went off. I know that my alarm going off at 8:00 AM has almost done me in on a number of occasions, and I'm surprised there aren't warning labels on the damn things. Really, there-outta-be-a-law! Your child could be next! It's moving from the city to quiet neighborhoods JUST LIKE YOURS!

The Deep Dark Underbelly of the Star Wars Myth, or Ramayana Remembered
It's a fact: Star Wars is a blatant plagiarism of an ancient Asian legend, and the long lines of devout Star Wars freaks are really unscrupulous Asian copyright busters. From Indonesia to Thailand to Nepal, videos are available for sale or rent before they're even released in the US and UK due to this nerdy camcorder-clutching bunch. (More...)
