The Nando Times: Adam Ant pleads guilty to charge in pub brawl
So much for being a Goody Two-Shoes. He pulled a starter pistol on patrons who made fun of his clothing, which worries me because I’ve been making fun of his clothing for about twenty years.

Not Rocket Scientists
Pardon me a moment while I bang my head on my desk.

Okay.
To Ron Koczor, the $650,000 NASA has invested in the project is worth the risk even if the science may seem wild. Koczor, who oversees the project at Marshall, believes the payoff could be advances in space transportation, new types of medical treatments and a host of other commercial applications.
Not to mention the entertainment value. I mean, $650,000 — that’s nothing. I mean, Carrot Top makes that kind of money, and he’s not nearly as funny as government scientists trying to build an antigravity machine. How much are we spending on perpetual motion?

ajc.com | Metro | Push turns to shove in Barr-Linder race
An anti-Bob Barr protester attending a Barr campaign rally dressed as Yosemite Sam was pushed over by a Barr campaign worker. Apparently there’s internet video of the incident, though this machine is creaky and I don’t dare try to play video on it.
I suppose it’s better than gunplay.

Isn’t that usually the case? Economic slowdown = more people shopping at Wal-Mart. Which is probably a good thing, since soon enough most of us will be working there.

Ananova – Islamic militants attack Palestinians in refugee camp
Fighting amongst yourselves? Tsk, tsk… Lebanese “militants” attacked a Yasserite Palestinian “security” post. Two are dead. I’m not broken up about it.

Bush Convenes Forum in Waco on the Economy
My God, he’s turning into Shatner!
I have one question… Is it really wise to hold an “Economic Forum” in a city that not only is best known as the location of the fiery deaths of a cult group but is also only one letter away from being “Wacko”? I’m just saying.

USATODAY.com – Korean Air jet may have narrowly missed disaster
Korean Air Lines, which has a fine tradition of not knowing what the heck it’s doing, issued a hijack alert… on September 11, over Alaska. NORAD scrambled fighters to possibly shoot down the plane. Luckily, nothing happened and the plane landed safely in Canada.
(Thanks to Frank for pointing out this story.)

CNN.com – India plans moon mission ‘by 2007’ – August 13, 2002
Wow. I mean, it’s an unmanned mission, and it’s not like they’re going to learn much about the moon at this stage. It’s a “here we are” mission. It’s still pretty impressive.

CNN.com – Couple plan to clone a baby – August 13, 2002
Technically speaking, shouldn’t the object of “to clone” be the progenitor, not the new person? I might be wrong. But any clone would start off as a baby anyway, wouldn’t it? At any rate, better than even odds these people were conning Connie.
