Paris shooting: Leaving Islam behind

"With every terror attack, Islamic nations are further marginalized—becoming the world’s problems, not partners.

Today, Muslim gunmen walked through the offices of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo screaming, “the Prophet is avenged!” as they killed. At that very moment, by coincidence, 330 km above, the International Space Station (ISS) orbited silently over Paris.

Consider that for a moment.

Terrorists commit an act of tribal savagery in the name of a prophet who lived 1,400 years ago while right above them, gliding through space, was the most sophisticated example of mankind’s ability to transcend ignorance and fear with hope and reason.

There are 25 nations who have come together to build the space station. They include old enemies, cold-war rivals and countries who fought each other for centuries over God and gold. But there are no Islamic nations on the ISS."

UFO sightings remain high

"There were 1,180 UFO sightings reported in Canada in 2013, or about three each day; The number of cases in 2013 is the second-highest number of UFO sightings recorded in Canada during the last 25 years; The 1,180 UFO cases reported in 2013 is much less than the peak year of 2012, when almost 2,000 reports were recorded. This was likely an anomaly due to many people who were excited about the so-called “end of the world” in 2012 according to the Mayan Calendar, and reporting many lights and objects as UFOs."

[---]

"The typical UFO sighting in 2013 lasted approximately 13 minutes; and results of this study show that many people continue to report unusual objects in the sky, and some of these objects do not have obvious explanations.

Many witnesses are pilots, police and other individuals with reasonably good observing capabilities and good judgement."

Wow!!!

Just WOW!!

'Missy' Becomes The First Sex Doll To Be Launched Into Space

"...I regret to inform you that Missy is no longer of this Earth. At the height of 102,000 feet, she popped and began to rapidly fall until she was ripped apart, not by a well hung gentleman, but the force of reentering the atmosphere. Missy, a doll who was quite literally up for anything, withstood temperatures of -70 degrees Fahrenheit, cosmic ray radiation, and high-energy particles from other solar systems. Which means, given higher modifications, future Missys could possibly withstand grunting astronauts climbing on top of her as they relieve their lust amongst the stars."

Oh my.
