Benjamin Healy

I heard the “most wonderful thing”:http://fafblog.blogspot.com/2005/06/now-he-belongs-to-ages-whatever.html on Fafblog today. “Jeff Coleman”:http://tippytoe.multicasttech.com/somewhereoutwest/ has turned a “great ol’ rambling post”:http://fafblog.blogspot.com/2004/08/legend-of-benjamin-healy-whatever.html into a “great ol’ rambling song”:http://tippytoe.multicasttech.com/somewhereoutwest/music/Jeff_Coleman_The_Ballad_Of_Benjamin_Healy.mp3 and posted same for the world to hear.

get the pitchforks

Overheard on “slashdot”:http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/06/01/2255208 today:

_If you could go back in time to 1980 and tell everyone that in 25 years, European governments would be spearheading an initiative called “Operation Spam Zombies”:http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/edcams/spam/zombie/, and that this name was not in any way meant to be humorous, the looks on peoples faces would be priceless._

new age of prophets

Now *that’s* what I’m talkin’ about. None of this mumbling about the end of the world or strange portents. “Prophet Yahweh”:http://www.prophetyahweh.com/ has a simple, straightforward prophecy: “Spaceships Will Appear Over Las Vegas On My Signal”:http://www.prweb.com/releases/2005/5/prweb243327.php.

His press release has all the details, including, “The spaceship will hover in the sky … for almost two days. All Las Vegans will be able to see it, day and night…” Even “James Randi”:http://www.randi.org/ would approve of such a bold, falsifiable statement.
