THE DA VINCI CODSWALLOP: World's best-selling novel got its key facts wrong

"IT purports to have cracked the greatest riddles of theology, painting Jesus as a mere mortal and claiming that the Church has hushed up the fact that true Christianity is a feminist religion.

Now it's set to be turned into a Hollywood blockbuster starring Tom Hanks as a Harvard professor seeking the Holy Grail. But the news has dismayed scholars who dismiss the book as "absurd rubbish"."

It's a good read, but Michael Crichton put better research and more facts in "Jurassic Park" than are in this novel. Click below to find out the truth.

Sure, they want to save fish now, but what about the savage butchery of living organisms that live in things like yogurt, and don't vegatables have feelings too? Haven't they seen Veggietales?

For Humility

"The most important scientific revolutions all include, as their only common feature, the dethronement of human arrogance from one pedestal after another of previous convictions about our centrality in the cosmos." - Stephen Jay Gould

I think this explains why so many great early scientific discoveries were made by devout Christians, who really know their place in the universe.

jkOnTheRun: Triple jkOTR Review- Complete desktop in your pocket



Although it goes against my philosophy of buying nothing Sony. I couldn't help but lust after this little number. If anyone has an extra two grand laying around, I would be open to accepting one of these as a Christmas gift. They should be on sale in the US soon.

Does Michael Moore hate America?

"Wilson is the star of his own film, as he travels across America seeking an interview with Moore - a request that was ultimately denied.

Ironically, "Michael Moore Hates America" does not accuse Moore of being unpatriotic. Wilson chose to focus instead on what he sees as a consistent disingenuousness in the documentarian's public image. He speaks about Moore with an aura of subdued rage.

"Michael Moore is the American dream," he said. "The guy shouts about what he wants, gets to make movies and write books for a living. He's extremely wealthy. And every time he opens his mouth, he's on CNN. That's the American dream, right? But then he writes chapters in his books ... where he basically says, 'No. There's no such thing as an American success story.' That's a direct contradiction of his own life."

Heavy Passengers Weigh On Airlines' Bottom Lines

I guess South Beach and Atkins aren't having as big an impact as it seems.

"America's bulging waistlines are now weighing down the airline industry, as it takes more and more fuel to get planes in the air.

A report from the Centers for Disease Control says in the year 2000, airlines had to spend an extra $275 million on fuel in order to carry the extra weight of passengers."
