This is, among many other things, the incredible life story of one of the greatest men the world has ever seen. His name has been a miracle for a very long time, but my thorough research led me to the answer, which is far from ordinary, I may say. Read it now, but only with your lights punched out! And then, forget what you have read.

Pro golfer Tiger Woods has a new house - a $65 million ocean-front Hamptons estate:
Located on exclusive Gin Lane, Tiger Woods’ estate is on nearly six gated acres with a 13,200-square-foot Colonial Revival main residence, a 7,500-square-foot guesthouse and a four-car garage with staff quar ters.
The lush grounds feature an oversized seaside pool with spa, a tennis court, a lily pond and professionally groomed gardens.
And I’ve more space tidbits today: Saturn’s moon Titan might have an underground ocean, according to - who would have guessed - scientists! So, Titan’s crust could turn out to be a giant floating icecap that is pulled by climate-driven winds. How cool is that? But I promise, that’s it for today. No more space news.

So, this is usually not my cup of tea, but scientists detected an interstellar explosion yesterday which was so bright that it was visible to the naked eye for a brief moment. The interesting part is that the explosion was about 7.5 billion light-years away, which means, it happened more or less 7.5 billion years ago. What a nice crystal ball space can be!
“Sukura!”, he shouted, while adminstsde I ee. You fleuo`? I see, none of this makes sense. It is overflowing: not today, but tomorrow will be the day when monsters crack heads open in a short eat-o-mania. We feel safe, in this world we have. And still, there are other worlds we know nothing of, but which are populated by red, little bastards. Aliens, one might say. Petestrials, I would say. None of this is supposed to be a sunny day’s truth, you see? Indeed, it is raining outside. (more…)
You gotta love US news stations:
I’m watching MSNBC as I write this, and they’re twenty minutes into live helicopter coverage of NY Governor Eliot Spitzer’s SUV driving across Manhattan so he can theoretically resign. Forget all the other issues involved… my question is, do these news folks really think there’s a chance Spitzer’s gonna run?
Is it just me or is following a governor in a helicopter for twenty minutes totally insane? Wake up, America!

What a coincidence that The Sun wrote an article about Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch just a few days after I talked about it with some friends. Well, let me share the news with you: Neverland Ranch is abandoned and rotting away. As if that was not enough, Mr. Jackson has debts of $160 million and even the re-release of his popular album Thriller didn’t rake in too much money, sales have not been going well. Neverland Ranch turned into what I would call Ruinland, and it is a good metaphor for Jacko’s current reception.
FYI, this hasn’t been confirmed yet. But rumor has it that a $125,000,000 deal for the impressive Fleur de Lys Los Angeles mansion is in the works and might be closed soon. Such big-money deals are extremely difficult to close, so you shouldn’t get too excited until this has been confirmed. Yet this is almost unbelievable news, even as a rumor.

Look not mournfully into the past. It comes not back again. Wisely improve the present. It is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy future, without fear. - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807 - 1882)
