Church miracle keeps faith burning


'And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.' In the best tradition of Man's glowing relationship with Divinity, the appearance of a mysterious beam of light in a Jerusalem church is defying explanation.

Turn to Pravda for the real news


A quick glance at the headlines on Online Pravda (english.pravda.ru) suggests that the new Russia is every bit as paranoid as the old Soviet Union. One headline reads "What if the USA Bombs Russia?" (The Russians apparently don't realize that we have to bomb Iraq, Afghanistan, North Korea, Indonesia and possibly suburban Washington, D.C., before we can turn our attentions to them.) Another attempts to answer the question that I didn't realize anyone had asked: "How to Protect Russia From Western Capital?"

Giant Pig Attacks Alaska


Well, no one has actually called it a flying pig as of yet, but it might as well be. Just like the poor Connecticut residents whose story I brought to light when their neighborhoods were viciously bombarded by the cacophony of Mister Softee ice cream trucks, the people of Alaska are in trouble.

Russian gas may be secret crowd-control weapon


Weapons experts have suggested a 1950s chemical weapon called 3-quinuclidinyl benzilate, or BZ, may have been used. This causes disorientation and hallucinations and was tested by the US on servicemen in the 1960s.

But according to Christopher Holstege of the University of Virginia, BZ takes an hour to start working and its effects peak at eight hours - whereas the Russian gas worked in seconds. Moreover, a hallucinogen seems a risky choice for terrorists strapped to bombs.
