Ahh, after a rousing discussion on the nature of time travel between Secretlegend and myself, I thought I might enlighten you internauts as to the prevailing theories surrounding the “paradoxes” of time travel:

A nice little introduction to some of the ideas surrounding time travel.

This article lays it out more scientifically, coming to the conclusion that, “If time travel is completely impossible then the reason has yet to be discovered.”

A British fellow with a lot of time has compiled some nice resources on his page.

This person, presumably Patricia, has created some enlightening animations to explain her view of time travel with particular attention paid to Flatland and the superstring theory.

And last, but not least, Xronos, teaches us how to actually tells us how to time travel! He even provides free “TimeMail” for all of you “time travellers on the go.”

That gives you some resources to begin exploring the various thoughts on time travel. Personally, there are plenty of days that I never want to relive. Then again, there was that time with Sally…anyway, I’m not sure anyone will ever know the truth. Perhaps, humans are just not capable of contemplating those parts of the universe and our existence.

I’ll leave you with this presentation that mund-numbingly warps time travel and some Eastern religious ideals into some new age Raelian exercise program. Wackos never cease.

CNN is reporting that the plane Aaliyah was on crashed because it was carrying to much luggage.

Gloria Knowles, who works for Abaco Air Ltd. at Marsh Harbour airport, said handlers and the plane’s pilot complained about the heavy load of the luggage but the passengers insisted on taking everything with them.

Of course they insisted on taking everything with them. Have you ever traveled with a woman? They pack nearly everything they fucking own. Add to it being a pop star diva and I’m sure the luggage factor increases 10 fold. Men can travel with whatever they can fit in their pockets, and they may not even use half of what they take. Call us goofy, but you won’t see our packing habits bring aircraft out of the sky.

What’s worse is that women will return from a vacation with twice the shit they left with. Men on the other hand, always always forget something they packed in the hotel room, but fail to notice until days later.

Richard Burt, an English professor at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, is a different kind of professor. So is Professor Hope Weissman of Wesleyan University in Connecticut. Why? Oh… they liken porn to Shakespeare. In fact Weissman offers a course called Pornography: Writing of Prostitutes, where students have to produce a work of pornography as a final project.

Shakespearean scholar Richard Burt says, “Shakespeare is everywhere in our culture and pornography is part of that culture. In Shakespearean plays, that’s always the question: Do they have sex? In the 19th century, people thought Shakespeare was obscene. It is part of legitimate academic inquiry.” Ok buddy, as long as your wife buys it.

An icy lump beyond the orbit of Pluto has been named the largest minor planet in the solar system, breaking a record that stood for two centuries by the asteroid Ceres, European astronomers announced this week.

The frozen rock, now called 2001 KX76, has a diameter of at least 1,200 kilometers, much larger than Ceres, discovered in 1801 by Italian astronomer Giuseppe “Pepperoni” Piazzi.

While astronomers are not yet sure what they will rename the hunk of rock too, they do know that since 2001 KX76 is a minor planet it won’t be allow to see R-rated movies and will be the official designated driver for Uranus.
