The Randomness of it all: Things I heard/read:

So much for hiding from those aliens…

You ever see those sci-fi movies where the earth gets invaded by aliens? Ever wonder how the hell they found us if their planet was millions of light years away. Well this may be the answer. Seems our earth is crying out and what a horrific noise it is.
Here’s the audio and explanation.

Now, I wonder how long the earth has been making that noise. For those earth conscious do you wonder if its earth basically in pain for all the crap we humans do to it? Or for the more scientific minds is it simply a part of what the earth does just like spinning. Scientist don’t yet know why the earth makes this noise but they do know that if “others” are out their listening, they can sure hear it!

The Birds!

The Baltimore Ravens are thinking of training real ravens to fly around the stadium during their games. http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_corner/post/Ravens-to-offer-fans-free-peck-your-eyes-out-s;_ylt=Aqxvnhg6FGa7t40l7w5gvYzZn414?urn=nfl,91061

Hmm *scratches head* Nothing about that sounds right at all!

First of all, I hate birds. They fly above you and think the world is their toilet. Who wants to have to worry about a bird dropping a “special gift” on their hot dog before they take a bite?

And ever since watching The Birds I am no fan of them, especially if they come in groups. That always seems ominous to me. Like something bad is about to happen any moment. What if they just go mad, perhaps at the Raven’s bad game, and start flying around insanely and attack people. Again, the threat of having your eye poked out does not make for a relaxing jolly good time. I’d take a pass on this one!

Now that’s taking a chance

Would you go, at a moments notice, to a public place for a date with a total stranger? I mean never seen them before or so much as heard their voice? Well that’s the theme for the ever growing service for single peeps called www.crazyblinddate.com.

You sign up, much like match or eharmony and the site contacts you with maybe thirty minutes notice to go meet Joe Random at said bar or coffee shop. You can log on to the site and see just what this Joe Random is all about but get this, they blur his/her picture. So I guess you have to hope that the “site people” stick to what you request and don’t set you up with someone outside of what you want. I wondered why they keep the picture hidden but realize that if you knew you had to meet a guy or girl at say Starbucks in thirty minutes and checked their picture out and were thouroughly displeased you might be tempted to just not show up which is waaaay rude. So this way you’re coming with an open mind and taking a chance on someone that you may never have winked at on match but is an actual great person who may not be so bad to know further or someone who may actually be just your type. You don’t know.

Still, what a roll of the dice? Not so sure I am confident enough in a strangers ability to arrange a blind date for me. I barely trust the taste of the people I know (who pretty much view the types of guys I’m attracted to as outside of what they would ever have guessed which is why they usually never get it right).

I suppose the first time around could be a fun experiment but after a while I could see this becoming as scary as walking into a dark haunted house- you just don’t know what scary creature is going to pop out at you calling your name!
