I think I'm one of the few Canadians over the age of 16 who don't like coffee. I do miss out on the roll up the rim contest, but other than that I am happy getting my caffeine from Pepsi instead.

Rocky, didn’t you hear that the “argue with paranoid psychotics on the Internet” item got cut from the federal budget two years ago? R U serious? I kept on falling for that "the check is in the mail" line my handler keeps feeding me. Damn you wouldn't've thought a professional disinformation/“argue with paranoid psychotics on the Internet” agent would be so gullible! So who's crazier they guy who thinks he's looking at a dog when he sees a horse and can't he convinced otherwise or the ostensibly sane people who continuously try to set him straight as if any evidence/arguments they present would make a difference. The Pentagon stills are like Rorschach tests people see in them what they want. Some JFK researchers are the same, they look at indistinct details in images from around the time of the assassination and convince themselves they see what ever confirms their theories

Sorry if this is OT; it is not my intent to get started on the JFK assassination. I just think this is a good example of how people tend to see what they want to see out of indistinct blobs. In this regard it is somewhat related to the ongoing 9-11 discussion.

I do not know the Badge man bit, I am guessing if I click the Link I would have to headbutt the wall a few times for it to make sense
I personally thought on presentaion of that picture that it was a background radiation map of Europe and environs

If you know any street French, you will be forced to agree that that is definitely not a picture of a "pipe".

Ew. I've seen that painting in person -- or at least one of them (he returned to the theme several times). It was one of those "Hey, that can't be what it looks like....!" moments. Like the day prowling one of the lower floors of the British Museum (which has far from lost its charm, at least for me) and seeing from across the room a silhouette that couldn't be, but in fact actually was, the Rosetta Stone. By the by, have the "Badge Man" people ever identified the large white blob to his left? It's obviously a real object, not some artifact of the film, because it has a shadow along the bottom. Hey, I've got a theory! Badge Man is actually Cigarette-smoking man, and that's the puff he took just before lifting his gun. Does seem to me he would have been smarter to stick with his usual civvies rather than fire a weapon from the middle of a crowd WHILE IN FULL UNIFORM (sorry for shouting.)

From Secrets of a Homicide: JFK Assassination, particularly the Badge Man section, that area of the photo appears to be simply background foliage combined with sunlight glinting off a soda bottle sitting on the nearer retaining wall.

wow!!! $349 a week!!!. That's way more (about US$100) than my Mum gets on her Invalid's benefit over here, and that's not including the exchange rate which would bring it up to about NZ$465. No, that's per month. A Month? Oh... that goes from that'ds a lot to that really sucks.

Yup. If (fingers crossed) I get approved for federal disability, it should go up to about $800 a month. However, since I owe Graham literally thousands of dollars at this point . . . .

sorry CDC is a popular acronym on Beta for any Crudely Drawn *Phallus* either in Beta Meme format (Has to be Magenta and done in Paint) or any more stylised appearences.
It is quite common for betards to leave CDC themes in sending spreadsheets or code layouts or various other methods arranging beer mats in the pub Sand castles Spaghetti... Just a nice simple childish bafoonery.
