Barnett Hoffman, “Neil Armstrong”


Barnett Hoffman, my dad, was recently inducted into the New Brunswick High School Hall of Distinguished Alumni. Oddly, although New Brunswick High School’s mascot is the Zebra, their colors are Blue and White.

Metallica with Jim Breuer

Wywiad na temat wrażliwości i płakania
METALLICA's 'Most Sensitive' Member Revealed
- Sep. 2, 2009

Jim Breuer, comedian, Sirius XM host and diehard METALLICA fan, sat down for a rare and hilarious interview with all the members of the legendary metal band for his weekly show on Sirius XM's Raw Dog comedy channel. The hour-long interview, taped before the band's performance at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, delved into rare subject matter and humorous hypotheticals, including which band member each would call to help hide a body and what government agencies they would assign to one another if METALLICA were its own country. The special also included a quiz portion where each member is quizzed on prices of common household products to determine how out of touch, if at all, they are from everyday life.
The first webisode featuring highlights from the interview contains the question of "Who is (by far) the most sensitive member in the group?" in regards to crying.
The answer may be shocking to some people.

Dawkins znowu uderza...

Promocja nowej książki "The Greatest Show on Earth".

Creationists, now they’re coming for your children

People who reject the theory of evolution should be placed on a level with Holocaust deniers, argues an author in his controversial new book

Richard Dawkins


Instead of devoting your full attention to the noble vocation of classical
scholar and teacher, you are forced to divert your time and energy to a
rearguard defence of the proposition that the Romans existed at all: a
defence against an exhibition of ignorant prejudice that would make you weep
if you weren’t too busy fighting it.


Fashionably relativist intellectuals chime in to insist that there is no
absolute truth: whether the Holocaust happened is a matter of personal
belief; all points of view are equally valid and should be equally
“respected”.

Coś wyrżnęło w Jowisza

Ciekawe, ile państw by się zmieściło w tym obszarze, który tutaj wygląda na dość niewielki...

Coś uderzyło w Jowisza

To prawdopodobnie kometa - twierdzi NASA i publikuje fotografie.


Astronomowie podkreślają, że fotografie powstały dokładnie w piętnastą rocznicę innego uderzenia. W 1994 r. powierzchnia Jowisza została zbombardowana fragmentami komety Shoemaker-Levy 9.


NASA zaznacza, że w zrobieniu zdjęć wydatnie pomógł astronom-amator. - Wczoraj w nocy zawiadomił nas, że coś dzieje się na Jowiszu. Dzięki niemu uchwyciliśmy moment uderzenia - mówią naukowcy.
