"Klaatu Barada Nikto" and Other Stuff from Around the Web

Talk about "Alien Righteousness"!  The Vatican has declared that it is acceptable for the faithful to believe in aliens and extra-terrestrials.  I wonder what Klaatu (Mr. Carpenter) and Gort (his robot) would say about that.  Click here: Enthusiasts say 'Amen' as Vatican allows alien belief -- -- chicagotribune.com  

This is sad.  After an Israeli mayor decries Christian proselytizing, Israeli Jews gather around a bonfire and burn New Testaments.   Click here: Breaking News - JTA, Jewish & Israel News.  Makes me think of Romans 10:18-21.  Makes me hope for the day depicted in Romans 11:25-36. 

For those of us who grew up in the 60's, it was commonplace to speculate what life would be like in the year 2000.  Check out these predictions from 1961.  I'm still waiting for the 24 hour work week.  (You'll laugh--or wince--at the hokey ads).   Click here: Will Life Be Worth Living In 2,000AD?

It would figure that Dr. Clark would find this before I did--he's a huge stooge fan, as am I.  Finally, a stooge channel on the web!  My all-time favorite White Horse Inn prank was to play a short snippet from "Boobs in Arms" when the stooges manage to bomb themselves with laughing gas.  The White Horse Inn topic that night was the Toronto Revival, and the program opened to the sound of Moe, Larry, and Curly just plain cracking-up.  Priceless.  Click here: The Stooge Channel Video Channel | Veoh Video Network

Here's a question: since those futurisms are obviously the product of "golden age" postmillenialism, would a good amil give up his eschatology for a jet pack? Oh, the temptation!

Lines that kept a few fifth graders I know up all night laughing...

"I shoot an arrow into the air, where it lands I do not care: I get my arrows wholesale!”

"Well being as there's no other place around the place, I reckon this must be the place, I reckon."

"If at first you don't succeed, keep on sucking till you do succeed."

"Press! Press!
...Pull!"

look at this prediction

"Our children will learn from TV, recorders and teaching machines. They will get pills to make them learn faster."

makes me think of all the ADD pills they give these days to a lot of kids.

I have heard about attempts to curb or make proselytixing illegal in Israel; how are things currently? The news article mentioned a statement in which the mayor said that there are already laws in place to stop evangelism.
