During World War II the Army Corps of Engineers needed to hide the Lockheed Burbank Aircraft Plant to protect it from a possible Japanese air attack. They covered it with camouflage netting to make it look like a rural subdivision from the air. Here are the pictures.
Lockheed - Before
Lockheed - After
Lockheed was set up like a movie studio production. They had fake houses, trees, etc. and moved parked cars around so it looked like a residential area from the skies overhead.
The net over the plant was strong enough to walk on. Lockheed hired people to ride bicycles and move around as if they lived there to make it look authentic.
Employee cars parked under the net to avoid being seen from planes above.

Settle down! I’m not advocating one way or another on the subject of gay marriage. This picture shows that quoting the Bible to back your cause can be a double-edged sword. Is Old Testament law relevant today? (via 9GAG)

U.S. Department of Agriculture records show that the number of businesses approved to accept food stamps grew by a third from 2005 to 2010. Vendors from convenience and dollar discount stores to gas stations and pharmacies increasingly joined the growing entitlement program. Now, fast food chains like the YUM! brand are trying to get government approval to accept food stamps too. If it’s approved, the government will technically be paying for low-income people to eat at places like Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, KFC, and Long John Silver’s.
The food police and public health advocates are not happy about this. I assume that many of you who pay taxes are not happy about it either. Obviously, the public would prefer that food stamp recipients make good nutritional choices with our hard-earned money. Fast food is bad for you right? How bad? Are you assuming welfare recipients are making good decisions in the grocery store aisle and that fast food options will derail that sensibility? Should poor people not be able to enjoy a Whopper? Should we have special EBT aisles in stores where people can only buy what we deem as healthy? Lots of questions. Not a lot of good answers.
What do you think the answer is?

Hunters and villagers in the south Philippines captured alive a one-ton saltwater crocodile this week. The 21-foot male croc was captured along a creek in Bunawan township in Agusan del Sur province. Captured after a three week hunt, the massive crocodile killed a water buffalo in an attack witnessed by several village residents. (Source: AP)
Villagers and veteran hunters in Bunawan township Philippines have captured a one-ton saltwater crocodile after a three-week hunt. The 21-foot male crocodile is suspected of having attacked a fisherman who went missing in July. About 100 people had to pull the crocodile, which weighs about 2,370 pounds. It could be one of the largest crocodiles to be captured alive. They plan to make the croc the star attraction of a planned ecotourism park in a southern Philippine town.

John Van Sloten is a pastor at New Hope Church in Calgary.
What does the music of Metallica have to do with God? According to author and pastor John Van Sloten, a lot. God can speak through their music – if we’re listening, he says. Van Sloten has built a church around the band’s music and lyrics and shows us first hand how God uses many things (including heavy metal music) to call his children home. In fact, Van Sloten shows how God can speak to us through anything and everything – heavy metal music, R-rated films, sports, and even the latest fashions. If you’re listening, his book The Day Metallica Came to Church might just change the way you hear God’s voice – and how you live in today’s world.

Susanne Eman, 32, is trying to become the fattest woman ever. Already 728-pounds, she aims to reach a whopping 1,600 pounds by guzzling more and more food every day. She wants to get into Guinness World Records as the “World’s Heaviest Woman.” The 2012 edition of the book will be released later this month. If you are repulsed by watching this woman kill herself and leave her kids without a mother, then the 2012 edition of Guinness World Records should be left off your Christmas list.
