ROCKET MAN, RODGER!

The EM Drive. Looks like something off a moonshiner's still, but is said
to do the biz. Well done Rodger! And if you're dead, may
the force be with you.

Interplanetary travel could be a step closer after scientists confirmed that an electromagnetic propulsion drive, which is fast enough to get to the Moon in four hours, actually works.
The EM Drive was developed by the British inventor Roger Shawyer nearly 15 years ago but was ridiculed at the time as being scientifically impossible.
It produces thrust by using solar power to generate multiple microwaves that move back and forth in an enclosed chamber. This means that until something fails or wears down, theoretically the engine could keep running forever without the need for rocket fuel. The drive, which has been likened to Star Trek’s Impulse Drive, has left scientists scratching their heads because it defies one of the fundamental concepts of physics – the conservation of momentum – which states that if something is propelled forward, something must be pushed in the opposite direction. However in recent years Nasa has confirmed that they believe it works and this week Martin Tajmar, a professor and chair for Space Systems at Dresden University of Technology in Germany also showed that it produces thrust. The drive is capable of producing thrust several thousand times greater than a standard photon rocket and could get to Mars within 70 days or Pluto within 18 months. A trip to Alpha Centauri, which would take tens of thousands of years to reach right now, could be reached in just 100 years. (UK Telegraph)

REVOLUTION #9...

Follow me to the barricades ye unwashed scum and BDS heroes!

UK Labor leadership contender Jeremy Corbyn - radical Lefty, anti-Israel and a pal of anyone with a rabid camel - has released a document outlining his proposals to increase gender equality in society. If elected, he is committing to make half of his shadow cabinet women. Of course the women will be of a similar political bent as the commie-lite Corbyn. Jerry and the Castro Bros have similar ideas on how to ruin an economy; though the UK under comrade Corbyn wouldn't have either weather or cool 1950 Yank cars. If Corbyn ever had a sense of humor, it must have evaporated when his pet snake Stalin was run over by a Tory election agent.   

A 1000 MUSLIM MYTHS!

A CNN piece of Koranic crapology - which the useful idiots at the lib channel have been chest beating about - and which could only be believed by those whose knowledge of Islam came from a book written by Reza Aslan; Iran's batty boy and major apologist for that Islamo-fascist regime. Just one of the 1000 myths is this: Arabs invented the zero (0). Like many other maths myths the Muslims make claim to, the fact is that this work of genius was brought from Indian to the Middle East by Arab traders. It was the Indians who came up with what we wrongly call, "Arabic numerals". Up until then, it was these pesky and impossibly clunky Roman things that were in use. Try to multiply or divide these babies and, except for buying a jar of olives, you'll understand how totally useless they are. Nope, it was not a Muslim invention. Our present day numbers and the brilliant zero came from clever folk in India. 
To clear up any lingering misunderstanding about what Islam put in the invention pot, a 14th-century dialogue between Byzantine emperor, Manuel II Paleologus and a Persian Muslim scholar went like this: “Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.” 
Yes folks, that more accurately sums up the Islamic contribution(s) to mankind!

APPLE A DAY...

In 2007, zillions of the Apple faithful stood in line for a week on 5th Avenue NYC looking like lost Scientology students, as they awaited their turn to buy the "Jesus Phone."  But the Apple Watch's arrival in the manger has hardly been the second coming. Who really wants something as expensive as a penny black postage stamp on their wrist? Many young Apple-ites have a similar mentality to cult joiners; and when, as predicted, all the satellites fail through our litter lout behavior in space, they'll be plenty of work to be had for the head sorting community. 

FANCY A CHICKEN CURRY?

A study in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases links the Klebsiella pneumoniae pathogen to retail meat products for the first time. This bacteria can cause pneumonia when inhaled, and can cause urinary tract infections and infections in the lower biliary trace and in wounds. In the 2012 study, turkey, chicken, and pork meats were sampled from nine major grocery stores in Flagstaff, Arizona where clinical samples from sick people were screened for this bacteria. Ten percent of the 1,728 positive human samples and 47% of the 508 retail meat samples yielded the bacteria. Many of the strains were resistant to antibiotics. It's official; now you can stop blaming the booze!

Chicken, shmicken? We ladies know it's the demon drink

REMOTE CAR HACKING, SIR? THERE'S NO EXTRA CHARGE.

Remote-controlled car hacking has arrived — and with it, an important opportunity for Argus, an Israeli cyber-security start-up that currently has the world’s only effective system to detect and prevent the kind of attack demonstrated on Tuesday, when a pair of hackers took control of a Jeep Cherokee driving in St. Louis. “Argus’ mission is to promote car connectivity without compromising on security,” said Tom Bar Av, a spokesperson for the company. “In the Jeep case, as well as in other hacking attempts that have been demonstrated over the past year, our solutions could have played a pivotal role in successfully preventing such attacks from affecting a vehicle’s systems.” As my old van has manual only windows and electrics that wouldn't be out of place in the Stone Age, I've no worries. But there's something else to concern us all even more; for according to boffins, in around 20/30 years, unless we find a solution to this coming dooms-day, there will be no satellites! Even at present, there are millions of bits of killer space junk orbiting - and a piece only 2 mm in size can cripple a multi-million dollar satellite. 
So don't throw yer old maps away and buy a truckers' Charlie10-4 CB radio; because if you're still walking the earth, you'll bloody well need one!

A said double fries, hold the mayo.

HONEST IRAN!

While Clown Kerry - the second most gullible simpleton on the planet, just one step behind his boss Barry - have been selling us out at the Ayatollah Mall, the Mullah Men have been injecting a large dollop of honesty into the pitta dip. Still they cry "death to America" with Israel very much on the menu of doom. At least the nuke-will-be-folk are honest about wanting us all dead; while our sell out politicians in tandem with the Greedy-Fucks-R-Us multinationals are only too willing to aid and abet the end of our top dog tenure on earth.
