Brad Steiger on the 'Legacy of the Sky People' and the Serpent race

"BRAD: For those Ancient Astronaut researchers who espouse the
theory that Earth's humans may well be considered "property" by
an extraterrestrial species, the Great Flood becomes a symbol of
the time when certain of the Sky People coldly & dispassionately
made the decision to eliminate great numbers of those primitive
offshoots of humans and to preserve only the strain that would
lead to Homo sapiens, modern man."
"BRAD: Sherry & I are working as we speak on Real Encounters,
Different Dimensions and Otherworldly Beings. Our Four-Legged
Miracles: Heartwarming Tales of Lost Dogs’ Journeys Home will
be released February 5, 2013."

Pondering:
Should Paula Dean be crucified for admitting she's used the N-word?
How many here have never used the N-word? How many black comedians
have never used it? Is there any limit to our hypocrisy?
Should Aaron Hernandez be prosecuted for murdering a friend of his?
Absolutely, yes! Since he recently held himself up as a role model,
then he's gotta take the heat to become a martyr & greater role model.
Yes?
With a monument to Atheism in Starke, FL ... shouldn't there be a
law that Atheist displays must appear wherever there are religious
displays on public property? Should Atheists have to pay for them
or Taxpayers?
Should there be a Social Network set up strictly for rants and anger
mismanagement? Tantrum Tube sounds dorky; please suggest a catchy name.
Will my cats, your dogs, soon be eating horse meat?
Peter Schiff, author of Crash Proof, sees another economic crash soon.
Is he right?

Instead he says to focus on post-disaster training so you

A friendship died with George Zimmerman's acquittal
By D. Barbara McWhite
http://www.qcitymetro.com/living/articles/a_friendship_died_with_georg
e_zimmermans_acquittal073810901.cfm
"When George Zimmerman was acquitted, I lost a friend.
"She is white and younger by about 14 years. We worked together for
a few years and, despite the age difference, became fast friends.
Both outspoken and confrontational, we sometimes argued. We debated
world events, relational and social issues. When we disagreed, it
could get ugly, but after a few days, we found our way back to our
friendship – a friendship that lasted over 12 years.
... "Strangely absent from our conversations, though, was talk about
the election of our country’s first African American president."

Hawaii's shark worries worsen after kayaker dies in Maui attack
http://www.latimes.com/nation/nationnow/la-na-nn-maui-shark-attack-201
31203,0,457677.story#axzz2mYtdmnmP
Hawaii officials have shut down an area of water just off the southern
coast of Maui after a kayaker was killed in an apparent shark attack
there Monday.
It was the second such death in Maui this year, continuing a worrisome
trend for Hawaii after a decade of relative quiet that has been disturbed
by an increase in shark attacks over the last two years.
On Monday, Patrick A. Briney, 57, of Stevenson, Wash., was fishing and
kayaking with a friend ...
The attacks represent the continuing escalation of a worrisome trend:
There have been at least eight shark attacks around Maui in 2013, with
13 shark attacks overall reported around the state, according to state
data and recent reports.
When I was a kid, shark infested waters were sometimes called "black water."
Is there something wrong with me to think that swimming, surfing,
kayaking, and even snorkeling in black water is inviting disaster?

Paul Walker's death moves studio to postpone 'Fast & Furious 7' 'for a period of time'
http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv-movies/walker-death-force-
studio-start-fast-furious-7-scratch-article-1.1537235
Paul Walker’s tragic death may force producers to bring “Fast &
Furious 7” back to the starter’s block.
Universal Studios has shut down production on the film indefinitely
as execs, producers and the cast and crew to mourn the actor who was
killed Saturday with his friend, Roger Rodas, when their 2005 Porsche
Carrera GT was engulfed in flames after a horrific crash.
I think I once watched The Fast and the Furious [1] for about
20 minutes. Then I felt as Rae Dawn Chong in Commando, "I can't
believe this macho bullshit..."
Don't get me wrong. I love (some) car movies.
I don't think I've ever seen a Paul Walker movie. Didn't know him.
But when I saw pictures of him ... well, he was really good looking.
So ... was he a heart throb or more of a Man's Man?
Next: He starred with Vin Diesel in the F&F movies. Vin is very
popular among the Firefly fans (for Riddick & Iron Giant mostly).
So someone's sure to post an RIP thread for Paul. ... But no one has. [?]
Perhaps because no one did, it began to remind me of when James Dean
crashed himself in 1955. Yeah -- it's a bad comparison, those who
remember will say. The reaction and the endless publicity after Dean's
tragic death were very much like the reaction to the death of Elvis Presley.
RIP Paul Walker.

Paul Walker’s Death: Porsche Issued Memo About Dangers Of Carrera GT
http://hollywoodlife.com/2013/12/03/paul-walker-porsche-carrera-gt-war
ning-crash/
"In the memo, the company warned just how powerful the $500,000
Carrera GT was. It read, “The Carrera GT is as close to a racecar
as we will ever get.”
However, besides being super fast, it also means it’s unsafe, just as
a racecar is.
“I think it is very important that the man who has gone to technical
training, at least is consulted before anyone drives this vehicle,” the
memo read. While Roger was an experienced driver, that may not
have been a problem. But the car itself couldn’t take any road damage,
according to the memo.
Porsche Carrera GT: It Can’t Go Over A Foster Beer Can
“The car cannot go over a speed bump without damage to the three
under panels… Believe me, this vehicle cannot drive over a Foster Beer
can that is lying on its side. It will crush the can and damage the
carbon fiber under the panels,” the memo said.
Adding that the car has “all the disadvantages of racecar,” this
includes the inability to go over seam heights and pot holes."
Oonj: I guess it's not a street car. ... only for the track?
