I have always loved science fiction. I always have and always will. However, I do possess, most of
time, a solid enough grip on reality to let go of my sci-fi love when I put
book down or leave
movie theater.I mean, I would love for half
stuff I see in sci-fi to be true right now. You know what I am talking about, don't you? I would love to be able to zoom through "Space
Final Frontier" in
comforts of
Starship Enterprise sipping margaritas with Jean-Luc Picard while watching
stars fly by. Maybe that babe, Counselor Troi, could join us.
Yes, I can tell
difference between truth and reality (sort of). It's fun to pretend but I know when
pretense stops—or do I?
Another kind of sci-fi on
caliber of
"X-files" has been going on lately and I want to know just what in
name of Agent Mulder is going on?
I wrote a week or two ago about
exploding toads of Germany.
"I cannot get out of my mind
exploding toad phenomenon reported in
Altona district of Hamburg, Germany. This was taking place at
end of April 2005, causing a ghoulish and macabre mess that confused
hell out of scientists. They had taken to calling
district
"pond of death".
They think they may have solved this little grotesqueness with
explanation of some peckish toad-liver-stealing crows. I don't buy that at all.
On May 18th, a report appeared in
Associated Press about a scene right out of Hitchcock's "The Birds" occurred in Houston.
Apparently, some rather miffed Grackles (a large and loud crow-like bird) have gotten it into their little pea-sized birdbrains to attack
good citizens of Houston. These attacks have become so vicious that people are being injured.
"The grackles zeroed in on a lawyer who shooed a bird away before he tripped and injured his face, Jue said. The lawyer was treated for several cuts." [1] Can you believe this?
One woman was knocked to
ground, according to
article, and had to be helped up by two men who were also attacked. All three had to flee into a nearby building to escape
Grackle attack.
