READY TO FRIDAY

READY TO FRIDAY photo

Something weird is going on.

As you may or may not be aware, the Large Hadron Collider is now fully operational. That's great news for us science nerds, but ever since that bastard went online, all kinds of strange stuff has been happening. Trekkie chicks started getting kind of hot, I started work on a cartoon show, and this lightshow spiral phenomenon took place in the sky over Norway.

That sh*t's real. It happened. Nobody knows what it is, and for some reason, nobody's asking any questions. Maybe daily life in Norway is so exciting that people can look up and see a vortex with a spinny blue laser thing coming out of it and just roll over and go back to bed, but not here. We're curious. We want answers. Like what you kids are doing this weekend and whether anybody has that Vulcan girl's phone number.

FRIDAY.

"Russia has yet to confirm if a similar test launch was behind the mystery lights seen over Norway yesterday"

Probably a missile - the stabilizing fins or the engine developed problems and it spiraled out of control upwards. Wouldn't be the first time such a thing happened. I believe that blue "light" is actually just propellant exhaust being illuminated.

Granted, that might not be the explanation, and yes, it might be moon men from the plant zwikooloon 5, but somehow I doubt it.

Ubisoft is broadcasting its symbol to the aliens so they can get the right to the video game about the LHC Portal Invasion.

If I saw that in the sky, I would shit my pants on the spot. Who the fuck looks at that and doesn't think the world is ending?

Anyway, my weekend could be dull. Not that I don't have friends, but I just saw them not too long ago and I'm not sure I want to just constantly spend time with them. We'll see.

That thing is pretty fucked up looking. I know I'm not any kind of expert, but I don't buy the missle theory.

Beedog will let us know the truth as soon as he can.

I'm pretty excited about this show. Here's hoping the Hadron collider doesn't melt the fabric of the universe before then.

It was in the news, Russia lost a missle that was fired from one of it's subs. The 3rd stage exploded in the upper atmosphere causing the effect. It's happened before.
The Russians were none too pleased that the test went awry. They did remark that at least it gave the people in Norway some fireworks to watch.
A Google seach should turn up the news article.

Hot Vulcan chick just reminded me how sad it is that they closed the Star Trek Experience in the Hilton in Vegas. They had some fiiine women on their crappy motion rides.

"If I saw that in the sky, I would shit my pants on the spot. Who the fuck looks at that and doesn't think the world is ending?"

Actually where I live, light-phenomenons in the sky happens all the time. In the morning the sky can be blood red. And at 03:00PM when the sun has gone down, the pitch black night sky gets illuminated by emerald-green northern lights. And sometimes UFO like light-phenomenons happens. So I guess that limited our reactions to simply just amazement.

It actually looks like something from Star Trek, and dayum I would become a trekkie if all trekkettes were like that.

As I saw the spiral WITH MY OWN EYES, I can assure you that it is not photoshopped. You can find a video of it on Youtube.

Looks like someone opened up an Einstein-Rosen bridge to another part of the universe. Seriously!!! That dark hole that formed could be a totally different part of the universe we are looking at. And who knows maybe an invisible space craft is hovering above our planet right now!!! If they can teleport invisibility would be easy cheezy. ZOMG!!!
