What movie was it where they used baby monitors to pick up alien signals? Was it Signs? God how I hated that movie...

Baby monitors have video now? Man, have I been out of the loop...

In late June of 1908, a fireball exploded above the remote Russian forests of Tunguska, Siberia, flattening more than 800 square miles of trees. Researchers think a meteor was responsible for the devastation, but neither its fragments nor any impact craters have been discovered.
Italian researchers now think they've found a smoking gun: The 164-foot-deep Lake Cheko, located just 5 miles northwest of the epicenter of destruction.

Today is 4 July. Independence Day. For most, that means American independence from Britain. For some of us, today we celebrate that there are only 69 years left until Lunar independence. Consider the words of Professor Bernardo de la Paz:
"I will accept any rules that you feel necessary to your freedom. I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do."
"There is no worse tyranny than to force a man to pay for what he does not want merely because you think it would be good for him."
"But in writing your constitution let me invite attention the wonderful virtues of the negative! Accentuate the negative! Let your document be studded with things the government is forever forbidden to do. No conscript armies...no interference however slight with freedom of press, or speech, or travel, or assembly, or of religion, or of instruction, or communication, or occupation...no involuntary taxation. Comrades, if you were to spend five years in a study of history while thinking of more and more things that your government should promise never to do and then let your constitution be nothing but those negatives, I would not fear the outcome.
What I fear most are affirmative actions of sober and well-intentioned men, granting to government powers to do something that appears to need doing. Please remember always that the Lunar Authority was created for the noblest of purposes by just such sober and well-intentioned men, all popularly elected. And with that thought I leave you to your labors. Thank you."

Funny, I always catch myself doing that thing from Calivin and Hobbes, mirroring his dad's confusion with peanut butter. Chunky, creamy, extra chunky, low sodium, large, small, extra large, Jiffy, Peter Pan, store brand....
