Pudding, Ice Cream and Violence.....

Ok, to the first one.... The guy that turned $3000 of pudding cups into over a million airline miles is a true story. Not only is it all over the internet, but People magazine, USAToday and Time magazine all did stories on it.

On the ice cream fiasco, the only reference I could find about antifreeze and ice cream had to do with the antifreeze proteins that are put into the ice cream to keep the ice crystals away. What are antifreeze proteins you might ask.... I have no idea.

Finally, the violence and superbowl... I got a lot of conflicting information regarding this. According to an Urban Legands website (www.snopes.com) it is false, yet they quote a study that was done from a sociology professor that found it to be true just not to the extent originally thought. So my theory is that yes, domestic violence escalates, but not to any significant level. No more than on a soccer game day in Ireland.

Bush

He is just trying to appease all the little people. He simply doesn't want to take a stand and alienate people, and therefore lose votes. I would think he would believe in creationism. But hey, maybe he is just being openminded.

The movie.....

I thought the movie was funny, this guy is just shooting down all these people who are either fooling the public, or for some reason actually believe they can bend spoons or some other such nonsense. How was it that Uri Geller bombing on the Tonight Show did not discredit him to the point where his career was affected? Was he able to do some of his tricks later on in the show, or did people just not care about it? Is this guy a popular guy with the religious sect? I would think not, because I have a feeling that he can put doubt into people's minds regarding whether or not God exists, simply using reason.

My roommate and UFOS

My roommate is obsessed with UFOs. He believes that he saw one a few years ago. He states that he was outside sitting in the back yard and saw a disc in the air. It didn't move at all, then moved quickly out of the sky. He never said anything about a light or anything... but he also said that other people saw it. That other people told him that they saw the same thing. Now he believes that UFOs are real, Area 51 is real, and Roswell incident is real. What I don't get is how he can believe so adamately in it. There is even a tv channel where there are UFO shows on all the time, "historical backups" to the UFO phenomenon.
