Coffee May Lower Risk of Alzheimer's Risk
I was also relieved that police in Gastonia, North Carolina, caught this so-called "spree killer" who was terrorizing the small town of Gaffney, South Carolina. I was terrified by this because my daughter is getting ready to move to Columbia and this guy was rumored to be moving south. The whole thing was creepy - he was just randomly shooting people for fun. I actually spent one day listening to the police scanner, and they were following every lead from kids shooting off fireworks in the woods, to strangers driving through town.

grrm, is in Helsinki for Finncon, a celebration of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Anime. Yesterday grrmwrote about visiting the Sveaborg, which he referred to as a "great island fortress" and from these Pictures it's easy to see why it would inspire him. Congratulations to Al Franken and the entire State of Minnesota on his Swearing In as Senator Number 60 for the Dems.
My nephew wondered on Facebook the other day how long it would be until Michael Jackson rose from the grave as a Zombie. It appears he didn't even wait until the burial because CNN picked up his ghost on camera!
And if that's not enough, someone has Seen his Face in a Birch Tree Stump in Stockton, California.
The Paranormal World is also mourning the death of their own enigmatical icon: Writer John Keel author of The Mothman Prophecies. He apparently died penniless and basically alone. Edit: Please read the comment below by his friend, Loren Coleman. I sincerely only mean to honor Mr. Keel and was just sorry to hear that he did not have an easy life towards the end in spite of the movie based on his life's work starring Richard Gere. I doubt the movie studio paid him half enough for his story, which is all I meant in my original post. I'm a huge fan of both Mr. Coleman and Mr. Keel, and only wanted to memorialize his work in a week when Michael Jackson got all the attention.

I have read that before about coffee. I too am excited. :p
I'm happy because people told me all my life that coffee wasn't good for me, but I drank it anyway. So I feel vindicated.
but it probably will cause some other horrible disease manifesting itself at 80 or 90 or so.
MJ's face in a treestump? what wrong with the rosted bread or the sweatstain on the teeshirt? Elvis has been there often.
And will it bee on primetime CNN again.
Aftr 14 days I am glad when the whole houlabalou is over.
It got more media attention then the death of Kennedy, Churchill & princes Diana combined. As if he really was that important.
Here in the U.S. they had it on the music channels, the news channels, and even the networks showed the entire thing. But last year there were plenty of times that the networks decided that Presidential speeches weren't important enough to break away from soap operas. :rolleyes:
I thought parts of it were really nice, such as when Brooke Shields talked about being childhood friends with MJ, and she quoted the Little Prince. And Jermaine Jackson sang a beautiful song! But I'm sure there will be a bunch of tell-all books about his weirdness from anyone who ever worked for him, so it's good for the family they were able to have a dignified funeral before all that begins.
I saw that video with MJ's supposed ghost. I have no idea what is really on there but I will tell you I got the shivers seeing that. I went on a plantation tour many years ago and one of them was supposedly haunted. I had goosebumps on my arms when I walked in the place. A psychic lady told me that is a sign of sensing the presence of a ghost. I have no idea whether that is true but I got goosebumps seeing that video. Cue twilight zone music now.
There's a place down in Carrolton, Alabama, that has a haunted courthouse with the "face" of a convict that was burned into the window during a lightning strike. It's just a cute little country town out in the middle of nowhere, but there is something truly weird and haunting about that courthouse. Gives me chills just writing about it.

I have to say when I went on that tour I didn't know that home was supposed to be haunted and the woman on the tour who pointed out my goosebumps was the one who alerted me to the fact that there were ghosts in the home. I have had some other weird experiences like that so I am not one to rule out or laugh off the existence of ghosts.
I wouldn't be surprised if MJ returned to Neverland if that is what is seen in the video. I heard that Larry King, Lou Dobbs and the other anchors were talking about this for a long time that night. I am sorry I missed that night on CNN.
Keel never had much money from his writings. So when he got a little from his book being adapted into the 2002 film, he paid off some debts, bought a little Toyota and took friends out to dinner. That was about it.

And I realize from your posts on Cryptomundo that John Keel had lots of expensive health problems, too. Writers don't get major medical plans (or anything) along with the privilege of writing books. I was only referring to the money he made from the sale of the book to the movie company, but believe me I know how fast money can slip away in our society.
I'm a huge fan of both yourself and Mr. Keel, and I appreciate you dropping by my journal. Believe me, I only meant to honor his memory because he was truly original and told some fascinating stories. I'm sure you will keep his memory alive for years to come.

Anyway, thanks for the news updates, SIP! I'm looking forward to watching that video--and the musicals, too, as soon as I have a night t stay after work. :D
