Republican presidential canidate Michelle Bachman joins anti-vaccine lunatics with HPV vaccine scare

After piling on Texas Gov. Rick Perry in last night’s presidential debate, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) is continuing to attack the 2012 frontrunner for mandating that young girls get the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine. Perry has apologized for the mandate, saying it was a mistake. One of his former top aides had gone on to become a lobbyist for vaccine-maker Merck & Co. and pushed the governor for an executive order.

The oldest house in the United States, the Fairbanks House in Massachusetts, may also be haunted!

It's the oldest timber frame house in America, lived in for generations by the same family and lovingly kept just as it was in its early Colonial days.  But what the Fairbanks House lacks in modern facilities it seems to make for with ... strange spirits.  The house in Dedham, Massachusetts, was built between 1637 and 1641 by English settlers Jonathan and Grace Fairbanks.  Today the house is a museum, but it could very well one of the most haunted houses in America.

Satanic cultist exorcised of the Devil by Philippine Catholic priest

A blood-curdling scream echoes through the Roman Catholic chapel in Manila as Father Jose Francisco Syquia says a prayer of exorcism over a Satanic cult member believed to be possessed by the devil.
"It's very painful," the woman cries in an unearthly voice, her body contorting in an attempt to break free from the tight grasp of Syquia's assistants. After a few minutes she falls silent, her limp body exhausted.

SETI releases Android phone app which allows users to help 'hunt' for aliens

The Seti Institute launched a private beta test on Thursday of SetiQuest Explorer in the hope that amateur astronomers will help with tasks that cannot be done well by computers.

Founder of the Institute for Security and Cooperation in Space to propose treaty banning weapons in space by Earthlings and aliens!

It's a good thing the outer space battles in "Star Wars" happened a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away -- because under a new space-based weapons treaty drafted by aerospace and military experts, humans and aliens alike would be barred from waging war above Earth.

British Wiccan warlock pleads authorities to release him from indoor probation due to religious reasons

a warlock who worships the goddess of the moon, curfews can be a bit of a hindrance.  So when Cerwyn Jones found himself being punished by a court for carrying a five-inch ceremonial knife in a pub he was quick to plead special Wiccan circumstances.  The 52-year-old was sentenced to four months of staying indoors between the hours of 7pm and 7am.

Astrologers believe 'supermoon' may be at fault for the Japanese earthquake

The powerful tsunami that today slammed into Japan's eastern coast comes just two days after warnings that the movement of the moon could trigger unpredictable events on Earth.  Astrologers predicted that on March 19 - a week tomorrow - the so-called 'supermoon' will be closer to Earth than at any time since 1992, just 221,567 miles away, and that its gravitational pull will bring chaos to Earth.

...but The Bad Astronomer Phil Plait says otherwise about the 8.9 magnitude earthquake and gives links to relief organizations

The magnitude 8.9 earthquake that hit Japan last night has done a vast amount of damage. I’m seeing lots of information scattered around the web, and figured a post listing them might help.  First, if you need info about the quake, CNET has a long list of links for finding lost loved ones, information on the quake in general, and more.

Children in UK being taught how to prepare for UFO crashes!

here seems to be a growing trend among schools to stage a UFO crash, and then teach students how to react, as well as to “properly” investigate and report on the incident.  It sounds like a lot of fun, and a great way to fire up a student’s imagination as well as writing skills. Hell, I wish we would have done a staged UFO crash at my school.  The latest “UFO drill” took place Wed, Sept 29, at Sandford Primary School in the UK. The kids were treated to a full UFO crash scenario that included wreckage, police tape, and real police officers. (Perhaps it was only lacking men from the government telling the children not to talk about what was seen.)

Japanese space probe may have brought extraterrestrial life back to Earth, according to JAXA, the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency!

Like something out of a sci-fi movie, did alien particles find their way inside a space probe that landed on an asteroid and returned to Earth?  That question was raised last week by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, or JAXA, according to Japanese news agencies. Scientists reportedly found small, odd particles inside Japan's Hayabusa spacecraft, which returned to Earth in June after a seven-year, 3-billion-mile journey that took it to an asteroid and back.
