Why not? That's the way it was in Star Trek and they speak English. LOL  They did have that one episode with the Horta, which was silicone based.

Two days old:

Josh Powell, kids die in alleged murder-suicide - CBS News

What's really sad is that the father accused the missing wife of coming on to him and now his sister is out in the media blaming everyone but the responsible one.

This one is a few days old. I didn’t see it until today.

I know the book is full of stupid prejudices, but Herge wasn’t a racist, so I agree with the court.

Among the thousands of books burned on Berlin's Opernplatz in 1933, following the Nazi raid on the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, were works by Heinrich Heine. To commemorate the terrible event, one of the most famous lines of Heine's 1821 play Almansor was engraved in the ground at the site: "Das war ein Vorspiel nur, dort wo man Bücher verbrennt, verbrennt man auch am Ende Menschen." ("That was but a prelude; where they burn books, they will ultimately burn people also.")

(From Wiki’s entry about Heine.)

Sad to say the practice of burning people alive had been around for a while by then.

Yeah who cares about the content of the book, we should be angry about the burning of any book.

I'd like to see Newt Gingrich's books burned but unfortunately no one has bought any. LOL

Fed shuts down farm for selling milk.

I don't understand this war on raw milk. I mean actually I do, but I don't understand why anyone who reads about it can find it justifiable.
