I just recently watched a program on History Channel or Discovery Channel about DB Cooper. It was 2 hours of awesome.

According to that show, Kenneth Christiansen was the most likely suspect.

For some reason this made me laugh and I have no intention of reading the article to find out why the Cambridge Five group of spies tried to fool the general populace with such a sneaky alias.

were pretty fascinating to me. gorgeous pictures.

In reality they were actually the Cambridge Seven, but two of them were so secret the other five didn't even know about them.

As Newsradio showed us, Adam West was DB Cooper. Mystery solved.

1. Type the text.
2. Highlight the text.
3. Click the link button (looks like a little globe with two chain links).

Yup...their "round up ready" soybean seed has been unnaturally integrated into the agricultural landscape of rural America, so if a farmer plants his crop and accidentally Monsanto seed is in the crop, the company sues the farmer for millions claiming patent infringement and lack of royalties paid etc...which in turn sends the farmer into bankruptcy while defending himself in court. Completely disgusting.

There are movies about this company too.
"The Corporation" and "The Future of Food" are just two off hand I can recall. I think it's also obvious their power by the people that have previously worked for them i.e. Donald Rumsfeld.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dancing_mania

a social phenomenon that occurred primarily in mainland Europe between the 14th and 18th centuries; it involved groups of people, sometimes thousands at a time, who danced uncontrollably and bizarrely. Men, women, and children would dance through the streets of towns or cities, sometimes foaming at the mouth until they collapsed from fatigue.

wowo, I guess I've always thought Monsanto was bad but that is just cruddy.

i thought the chainlink was glasses lol!(look at this) i guess that's not a stamp by the mountains?(kidding)

A Pennsylvania town that has been on fire underground for 40 years. They relocated most of the people, but some wouldn't leave and it's the least populus place in the nation. Seems like it might have been the basis for the simpsons episode where homer is in charge of the trash collectors.

Basically, this guy paralyzes the roach with a sting to a certain part of the brain to make the roach into a zombie. Then it hops on the roach's back and uses its antennae to guide it to the wasp's burrow where it uses the roach's thorax as an incubator.
