Project Walrus

The US Army contemplates building an aircraft the size of a football field

The Walrus Project is the newest adddition to an old concept of LTA or “Lighter than Air” aircraft. In this case, the Walrus is upscaled with the newest technologies and created to act as a “tri-phibian” aircraft that can be used on land, sea and air. Project Walrus would entail an aircraft as large as a football field. It is intended to carry payloads that are more than 500 tons and transport it over 12,000 nautical miles in less than seven days.

In peacetime the “Walrus” could offer a myriad of solutions to trade by transporting large loads by air instead of by truck thus reducing congestion and cost. The Walrus also does not require hangers or towers and can act as a minature city to house people or troops. more…

Don’t hate the pirate hate the pirating!

Can one be smitten for copyright infringement on the Bible? Well, it appears so.

” I am a jealous God,” He said, “but I am by no means unreasonable. If the person will stop distributing My copyrighted materials, there will be no further consequences. Like I’ve said before: hate pirating, love the pirate.” Ironically, some of those most likely to be hit by these measures are among God’s biggest fans. The Reverend Alfred Jackson is a minister at the church of St. Cecilia in Kansas City. In his spare time, he maintains the Bible study website “eChapter and eVerse,” which cross-references large parts of the bible with commentary from clergy and laypeople from around the world.

God said that ’spreading the Gospel’ was not a valid defense for distributing copyrighted materials. “Rev. Jackson has published at least 35% of My word electronically, where anyone with an internet connection can download it. Thrice did I call on him to repent; thrice did he ignore me or refer me to the EFF [Electronic Frontier Foundation].”

This just in, Jesus found making coffee in Texas.

where is his chocolate throan?Of all places to make his return, Jesus picks Lufkin, Texas. With his exquisite coffee making miracles, Jesus has raised company profits from $2.3 million in sales to almost $78 million. Wow, now those are some miracles! Of course these miracles haven’t gone unnoticed, he’s been promoted. To what you may ask? Well, Vice President of coffee making, what else? One can only assume who the President of coffee making is?

Here’s what Henry Thomas, President of Selby Communications had to say about the whole ordeal.

“I think we hired him as a security guard originally. I saw him tinkering with the coffee machine one morning and told him that it hadn’t worked for years, that it would take a miracle for it to start working again. The next thing I know I’ve got a hot cup of Ethiopian blend and I’m loving it.”

Current TV

Remember Al Gore? He was the guy who won the US Presidential Election in 2000. Well, he got the most votes, but as thousands of Iraqi morticians and waterlogged South-staters will tell you, he didn’t actually win. Regardless, he’s taken the last five years getting over it, and now that the mourning period is over, he’s launched his own TV station.

It’s called Current TV and it’s basically a bunch of 2 to 5 minute shows (called “pods”) that are produced by a plethera of individual, non-Current-affiliated producers, ranging from Jim-with-a-camcorder-down-the-street to professional production houses. If you’re reading this, you probably can’t get the station – but look for it to come soon and check out the website in the mean time.

British Airways introduces voluntary ‘green fee’

Newindpress.com: British Airways (BA) on Monday launched a new scheme enabling passengers to make voluntary cash contributions to help offset the effects of carbon dioxide emissions.

The money raised will be used by an organisation called Climate Care to invest in sustainable energy projects that tackle global warming by reducing carbon dioxide levels, BA said on Monday.

Under the government-backed scheme, air travellers can choose to make a donation from Monday via a link from the airline website, towards the costs of tackling the emissions created by their journey. For example, the donation on a return flight from London Heathrow to Madrid will be £5, and a return flight from London Heathrow to Johannesburg will cost £13.30.

England takes the ashes home for the first time since 1987!!

Congratulations England. She’s all yours!

The mock obituary notice that appeared in The Sporting Times.

I can only hope that this goes towards cricket overtaking football as the nation’s favourite sport. I prefer sports fans to hooligans.
