I’ll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air.
First Person Shooter
How do you become a recipient of the Conspicuous Gallantry Cross (CGC)? By performing conspicuous gallantry during active operations against the enemy. Confused? Here’s an example: one person verses 12-30 enemies over 15 minutes using 400 rounds, 17 grenades, 1 claymore mine.

Flight of the Angrybird… in real life.
According to the description on Youtube, this seagull steals a camera and takes it on a short flight in Cannes France.
Man fakes brain injury to have diaper changed.
According to police Eric Carrier faked a brain injury in order to have his diaper changed. The 23 year old placed an ad on Craigslist pretending to be his own father looking for nurse care for his son. A nurse responded to the ad with the intentions of getting a job and found Carrier to be left alone at home with a diaper. The nurse believed Carrier was injured and attended to him. The nurse later got suspicious when something didn’t seem right and there were no future in-home visits scheduled. Carrier is charged with indecent exposure.

Aside from feeling pretty bad for the nurse, all I can say to Eric Carrier and his acting abilities is you almost pulled it off, but… well I’ll just leave this to the following picture:
Oh what a long strange trip it’s been.
At least the last month and few weeks have been.
So we saw a downright obsession with the Royal Wedding, a Pope was beautified, the US killed the most wanted man in the world (and Disney jumps to patent), talk of rapture (and a few Darwin candidates made in the process), a reschedule of said rapture (what century are we in again?), some crazy weather that even saw tornados in CA and MA, volcanoes, we found some other worlds, had another space shuttle take its final flight, the CDC used the zombie apocalypse to raise public awareness for emergency preparation and Oprah ended her reign. Whew.
I don’t even know what to say. Get your swag on.

Yo Quiero Sniper Bullet
You ever have one of those days where it you come to realized you should have stayed in bed because nothing seems to be going your way? It’s well past “things come in 3s” and having a “rain cloud” over your head. You’d love to drink but you come to realize its only 10am? Then, just as you’re at your breaking point, one of three things will happen:
And we’re back, I think?
It’s been nearly a month since we’ve last posted. I leave you with the only reasonable explanation of what we’ve been up to:
Atlantis found? Washed into the sea by a tsunami?
And this time it’s more than some images of the sea floor someone found on Google Earth.
(Reuters) – A U.S.-led research team may have finally located the lost city of Atlantis, the legendary metropolis believed swamped by a tsunami thousands of years ago in mud flats in southern Spain. – read full article here
Update: Finding Atlantis airs on National Geographic, Tue Mar 15 8P
Atlantis is one of those places like Camelot — there are hundreds of places where it “probably was, but no one is really sure if it existed in the first place. So assuming that Atlantis is some day found (like the legendary city of Troy), someone is bound to be correct. Rainer Kühne’s article in Antiquity (Vol 78 No 300 June 2004) suggests Atlantis is in the same place. Until Atlantis is really found I am just going to assume the legend is closer to the Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis story.
