The short film called Fellowship 9/11 reveals the shocking truth behind The Lord of the Rings. It was not a classic struggle between good and evil, but a fight for oil. Find out more information at the Fellowship 9/11 website or by watching the film at IFILM.

Toppled Dynasties

1:03 am

Yankees and Lakers crumbling dynastiesThe Boston Red Sox just beat the NY Yankees to complete the biggest series comeback in Major League postseason history. The Yankees were ahead in the series 3-0, then lost 4 straight games.

Earlier this year, the LA Lakers lost to the Detroit Pistons in the biggest upset in the NBA in several years. Those Lakers had 4 Hall of Fame players and one of the best coaches ever in the NBA. The Lakers eventually broke up, and people around sports realized the importance of desire and teamwork that the Pistons showed.

Both of these “dynasties” failed at what they were supposed to do this year. Do you think the elimination of the Yankees in this year’s postseason will push toward a change in professional sports as we know it? Will teams like the Yankees and the Lakers decide to spend less money and hunt for players with hidden talent and leadership?

This Comprehensible World

11:52 pm

“The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is comprehensible.”

Einstein said this, because he thought it seemed miraculous that the world could be explained by math and science. Where did the laws of physics come from? Why wouldn’t the world just develop in mass chaos without any laws to govern it? Just imagine if the world really didn’t have any laws of physics that it had to follow. That world would probably be incomprehensible!!

(This idea is part of the Intelligent Design Theory.)

GmailYesterday, Google introduced Gmail Notifier to let you know when you have new mail for your Gmail account without opening your web browser. I think it’s a good addition to Gmail, but it’s still in beta version. To find it, either click on New Features at the top of your Gmail inbox or use this link to the Gmail Notifier page.
