1991 Twins

Could the Minnesota Twins go from worst to first like they did in 1991?

How can politicians and business leaders from around the world meet in secrecy at a Swiss resort this past weekend and it not be covered by the mainstream media? See leaked Bilderberg list.

Do supporters of gay marriage in Minnesota realize that boycotting the Basillica Block Party would only take away money from the homeless?

Bruins fan allegedly stabbed in neck during riot

I am seriously considering not wearing a team jersey if I am watching a sporting event in a different city. With Bruins fans being stabbed in Vancouver and Giants fans being beaten in Los Angeles, I think I’ll dress a little more inconspicuously.

Ventriloquist Dummies: The stuff nightmares are made of

Best Week Ever has highlighted a YouTube channel called Cringevenom that is a resource for scary things that somehow made it onto television that were suppose to educate our kids. Take this video of a clown ventriloquist doll for example. Good luck sleeping tonight.

The Superman Curse

George Reeves

Superman George Reeves - Circa 1951

Today in 1959, TV’s Superman, George Reeves, was found dead in an apparent suicide (gunshot wound). It started the urban legend known as the “Superman Curse.”

The Superman Curse refers to a superstition that is based on a series of misfortunes that have plagued creative people involved in adaptations of Superman in various media, particularly actors who have played the role of Superman on film and television.

The curse in a nutshell: If you play Superman, you will either die an untimely death or end up in the weakest position possible.

See a list of notable people who have fallen victim to the curse here.

Very strange even if you are not superstitious.

The Great Toilet Paper Debate: Over or Under?

Up until a few months ago, I had never paid attention to how I change a roll of toilet paper. When I was asked be a friend what I preferred, I didn’t have an answer. People who have an opinion are passionate about their stance on the issue. This diagram below gives us insight into those people. Is there a category for people like me that are indifferent?

Bilderberg meeting this weekend

The Grand Hotel Kempinski in St. Moritz, location of the 2011 Bilderberg meeting

The Grand Hotel Kempinski in St. Moritz, location of the 2011 Bilderberg meeting. It has been closed down since April 10th and will reopen to the public on June 17th.

For those of you who don’t know, The Bilderberg Group, Bilderberg conference, or Bilderberg Club is an annual, unofficial, invitation-only conference of approximately 140 guests, most of whom are people of influence in the fields of politics, banking, business, the military and news media. The names of attendees are made available to the press, but the conferences are closed to the public and the media, and no press releases are issued.

Because of its exclusivity and privacy, the Bilderberg group is frequently accused by conspiracy theorists from both extremes of the political spectrum of being an all-powerful secret society fixing the fate of the world behind closed doors including orchestrating wars, world economies, and even manipulating presidential elections. Here is a current article regarding thoughts about the 2012 election.

Critics of Bilderberg conspiracy theories counter that it is nothing more than a policy discussion forum and social club which only serves as a means to brainstorm, reach consensus, and create social cohesion within the power elite of Western European and North American nations, to better promote Atlanticism and a neoliberal form of globalization.

If you want to learn more about this group, I would recommend reading “The True Story of the Bilderberg Group” by Daniel Estulin.

The annual meeting is taking place in St. Moritz, Switzerland on June 11, 2011.

Here is an alleged list of attendees for Saturday.

Marines tell Army to stand-down on camo

Marine Digital Camouflage Fabric

Marine Digital Camouflage Fabric

Apparently the Army is considering different camouflage patterns for a new set of uniforms for the troops. The older Universal Camouflage Pattern has been criticized as ineffective in the field. The MARPAT (Marine Pattern) shown in the picture is one design the Army is considering, but the Marine Corps are claiming the uniform is their property and that Marines should be distinguished from other soldiers. They don’t want the Army to steal their look.

I think the Marines have exercised a major lack of judgement here. Choosing what is effective in the field and saving lives trumps vanity and pride every time. Stop this nonsense, and pick the camo that’s right for ALL of our soldiers.

MI6: Operation Cupcake

British intelligence used cupcake recipes to ruin al-Qaida website

An Al-Qaeda online magazine had instructions on how to make lethal pipe bombs, as well as articles by Osama bin Laden and his deputy Ayman al-Zawahir has been hacked by British intelligence agency MI6. The agents involved replaced all the content with encrypted cupcake recipes instead. Pretty amusing. It may have been more prudent to simply monitor the chatter and traffic on the site to gather intelligence, but the operation is still funny. (via The Telegraph)

Inside the President’s Limo

The President usually travels in what is referred to as ‘The Beast.’ This gigantic bomb-proof General Motors Cadillac with eight-inch thick armour-plating on its doors is usually accompanied by a motorcade of at least 20 vehicles plus a dozen police motorcycle outriders. Of course many of its features are top secret, here is what we do know. Click image for larger view. (via Daily Mail)
