Strange Daze
SCIENCE FICTION AUTHOR AND FUTURIST BRUCE STERLING ON PRIVATE SPACE FLIGHT :
"Most of the privatized space-travel efforts seem to be made by ultra-rich cybergeeks. I rather suspect this is more their ditzy attempt to recapture the dreams of lost youth than the nuts-and-bolts construction of a private spaceflight industry. It makes me wonder if the moguls of tomorrow won't try to build themselves cool little cyberspaces. Maybe they'll drop their loose change on personal, souped-up, two-man personal search engines, or private super World of Warcraft personal Xanadus. Because, you know, that's what impressed them when they were nine and ten."

U2 TO RETIRE :
"A classified budget document approved by the Pentagon Dec. 23 calls for the termination by 2011 of one of the most heavily relied-upon reconnaissance planes in the Iraq war. The storied U-2 spy plane would commence retirement in 2007 under the strictures of Program Budget Decision, or PBD, 720, according to Pentagon, defense industry and congressional officials familiar with the document."
GEEZERS MAY ROCK, BUT NOT WATCH:
Stones exceed Bowl gig age limit The Rolling Stones would be too old to watch their own Super Bowl performance, organisers have ruled. Two thousand people will be invited onto the pitch to watch the band's half-time performance on 5 February. But only people aged between 18 and 45 are eligible, US National Football League spokesman Brian McCarthy said. "You have to attend rehearsal and be able to stand for long stretches of time," he told Detroit Free Press. The youngest Rolling Stones member is 58.

JFK assassination film hoax - The fast-forward mistakes :
"When the forgers made the Zapruder film, they needed to use genuine film of the limousine and the people in it, to make it look realistic—they couldn’t just get Warner Brothers to draw cartoons! They cut and paste this genuine film into a new background film of Elm Street.Some changes could be made. They could cut people out and move them around a bit. They could make copies of arms, legs and bodies, and stick them back together to make them perform actions that the real people never did"
