Tommy Chong gets the joint
Thirty years ago, Cheech and Chong did a skit in which an unctuous lawyer and his dope-addled client comically plead for leniency but end up proving the defendant is guilty.
Did this memory flash back upon Tommy Chong last week as he stood before a federal judge for selling bongs?
"The whole time," Chong said.
Then, he stepped off the elevator at the federal courthouse and assumed his newest role: street mime. Chong answered every reporter's question by pretending to zipper his mouth shut. Chong didn't even dare autograph a copy of "Up in Smoke" for a fan who awaited him on Grant Street. Best not to further provoke the authorities.

Neustart der US-Atomwaffen-Produktion
Erstmals seit 14 Jahren, so meldete das Los Alamos National Laboratory pünktlich zum 60-jährigen Jubiläum der Gründung, habe man wieder begonnen, Plutonium-Pits herzustellen. Das sind Hohlkugeln aus Plutonium, die sich im Zentrum der nuklearen Sprengköpfe befinden. Durch die Explosion eines normalen Sprengstoffs, der sich um diese Hohlkugel befindet, wird der Kern durch die Implosion komprimiert und damit die Kettenreaktion ausgelöst, die dann in einer Millionstel Sekunde eine gewaltige Menge an Kernenergie freisetzt.

Advice for Satanic Web Page Design
To be taken seriously, the True Satanist must have a well designed web site. The aim of this page to assist you in creating the perfect design.

A legitimate, if frequently overlooked alternative is the one used here - 222 gray, and of course the red text. The perfect symbolism of 222 gray made up of 222 Red, 222 Blue, and 222 Green cannot be overlooked. However the message conveyed by the sum of the three components may be too subtle for some.
