... And by the Way, a Tsunami May Hit D.C.
Timothy Noah
Posted Wednesday, May 3, 2000, at 2:22 PM PT

Chatterbox doesn't know what's more alarming: the news that Washington, D.C., may get hit by a tsunami, or the press's apparent lack of interest in this prospect. The tsunami scenario is laid out in the May issue of Geology (click here to see an abstract and a link to the article, which was written by Neal Driscoll of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Jeffrey Weissel of Columbia, and John Goff of the University of Texas). USA Today picked it up May 2 and ran it on Page One. The next day, the Washington Post followed with a Page One story (below the fold), while the New York Times buried it on Page A20 (this in the Washington Final!) and the Washington Times, perhaps revealing its antigovernment bias, dropped four paragraphs into its "Around the Nation" column on A5. Of the three major TV networks, only NBC put the tsunami threat on the evening news.

It falls to Chatterbox, then, to spread panic to those few people who might conceivably care should a 20-foot wall of water slam into the nation's capital.

Billboard targets mulesing
From correspondents in Los Angeles
December 23, 2004

AMERICAN animal rights activists have erected a large, gruesome billboard near one of the
busiest thoroughfares in the US as the next step in their campaign to create a worldwide
boycott of Australian wool.
The billboard holds nothing back and will be seen by almost 100,000 US motorists and
pedestrians a day.
It is dominated by a photo of a sheep's mutilated, bleeding rear end after undergoing the
controversial mulesing technique favoured by some Australian farmers.
Alongside the giant photo are the easily read words: "Did Your Sweater Cause a Bloody Butt?
Boycott Australian Wool!"
"This is part of our advertising blitz," People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA)
campaign co-ordinator Matt Rice said today.

BIG ONE: Barrett McMullen (l.) and Roger Gales consider their 380-pound tuna that they caught near Beaufort, N.C. PATRIK JONSSON BEAUFORT, N.C. – Bewhiskered and bewildered, J.C. Burke sips a hot drink as the sun wanes orange over Beaufort, thinking about all the ways he didn't catch a fish today. Even more unusual than the meager haul, however, may be Mr. Burke's presence in these warm waters at all. He is one of more than 100 New England skippers who have followed the migration of bluefin tuna from the coastal waters of Maine and Massachusetts to the sand spits off North Carolina.

of the Monkey by dying its primates bright red and yellow. But painting the monkeys was no easy

"They seemed to be surprised at their new strange coats when they woke up. But after a while, they
indulged themselves in pleasure."

Meteor Blast Rocks Jakarta

Reports of unexplained explosions caused alarm on Sunday morning in the Indonesian capital, Jakarta.

i-Newswire, 2004-12-19 - Alarm was raised early Sunday morning in Jakarta as an unexplained explosion rocked the city. The city has been on high alert recently fearing terrorist attacks in the Christmas shopping spree. The explosion however seems to have emanated from a meteor exploding above the city. Local television stations reported a white fire streaking across the sky followed by a large bang. Experts point to a large meteor exploding as it burned up in Earth's atmosphere as the most likely explanation for the phenomena.

UFO passes over China, explodes in suburbs　

An Unidentified Flying Object, or UFO, passed across the large north-western
Chinese city of Lanzhou and apparently exploded in the suburbs, state media said
on Monday.

　　The unusual sighting of two bright trails of light, reported by several witnesses,
took place last Saturday shortly before midnight, the China Times reported.

　　Police, working on the theory that it was a meteorite, went to investigate the
matter, but as of today they had found no evidence of what caused the nightly
phenomenon, an officer told AFP by telephone.

　　A taxi driver told the paper he was in his car when everything suddenly
became "as bright as day."Copyright @ Gansudaily. All Rights Reserved

The Sun News

The Air Force accepted responsibility for Tuesday's sonic boom, quelling 20 hours
of conspiracy theories and putting a multitude of questions to rest.
Capt. Mark Gibson, chief of public affairs for the Air Force's 20th Fighter
Wing, said Wednesday two F-16 fighter jets were involved in supersonic,
offshore training exercises, creating the boom that shook the Strand.

Loud boom shakes Strand, causes worries
Officials: Jet could have originated noise
By Josh Hoke and Johanna Wilson
The Sun News

A loud boom, possibly the sound created by an aircraft crossing the sound barrier, shook the Grand Strand on Tuesday, leaving officials and residents to question the cause of the disturbance that rattled windows and nerves alike.
The sound, which rocked the region around 7:30 p.m., possibly was the result of a military jet reaching supersonic speeds. Officials confirmed the U.S. Air Force was holding offshore training exercises Tuesday, and that probably was the root of the window-shaking sound.

Alien boom spawns theories

Unexplained events, such as the loud noise heard in half of Horry County on Tuesday night that shook homes and had entire neighborhoods looking skyward, always open the door for all sorts of theories.

Hummm This does not explane why i talked
