In what can only be called an acknowledgment of the obvious, Reverend Jose Gabriel Funes, director of the Vatican Observatory, has now admitted that there could be alien life somewhere else in the universe. Further, some of this alien life could be free from original sin.

One of the more staggering comments by Father Funes is that the Big Bang is the most reasonable explanation for the creation of the universe. If that is so, then that poses the obvious questions about Genesis.

However, it is nice that Father Funes did mention that the Bible is not a science book. Maybe some folks in the Christian community should take heed of this comment.

It had to happen. Hayden Paniettere just wasn't sexy enough for the small screen. Oh sure, she has the girl-next-door-I-just-want-to-fuck-her-brains-out-and-hear-her-squeal good looks, with a mouth you can just imagine wrapping around, um, I'm getting off topic here.

The folks at NBC have decided to toss in a new character for their uber-hit 'Heroes'. Everyone, meet Speedster. At 26, she's young and nubile enough to appeal to almost every male demographic who watches the show. Toss in her, based on the picture in the article, pert rack, and there you have a lesson in how to improve your ratings.

I tried watching 'Heroes'. Honestly, I really tried. But after about three shows I lost interest. It just seemed to me to be a show made simply to drag out a plot line as opposed to going somewhere. "Save the cheerleader." Yeah, like you wouldn't save Hayden even if you hadn't been asked to.

The subject of cleanliness as it pertains to those working in the IT industry comes up fairly regularly, with the obvious jokes about taking showers being the most frequent comment. However, there is another area which really, really, REALLY, needs to be looked at. Specifically, keyboards.

I know what you're thinking. "If I don't take a shower that often, what makes you think I'm going to clean my keyboard?" As I have mentioned on previous occasion, I have come across keyboards which have given me pause as to whether I should put my digits to keys. In one case, and I swear I wasn't hallucinating, there were "things" growing from within the keys.

With bit of wonderful bit of information in your head, I now bring you another in a long series of experiments regarding the germ-capturing capabilities of keyboards.

Interestingly enough, my data points, specifically the one mentioned above, seem to corroborate the unusual finding at the end of the article.

Before anything else, I want you to take a deep breath, hold it for a few seconds, then slowly exhale. Go on, I'll wait. Feel a bit more relaxed? Good. What I'm about to tell you will drive away any remaining concern you may have over a serious event which recently occurred.

The pig has been found. Repeat. The pig has been found.

Apparently the sign of the approaching apocalypse was short-lived so we can now rest easy, secure in the knowledge that the Earth will continue to rotate and the Sun will shine over our blue waters (except in China and India where many rivers and streams run brown or green). Disaster has been avoided and we can now go back to fretting over whether Miley Cyrus should have exposed her back in a Vanity Fair picture even though her parents and/or guardian were present for the photo.

I was beginning to get worried. The last few photo specials of asian booth babes were severely lacking in quality. It appears that whomever helped organize the Beijing auto show found the right modeling agency.

Enjoy the show
