US Government Considering Using Super-Scanners

Image Source

Apparently these new scanners are able to instantly discover everything there is to know about you - from 164 feet away - without your knowledge, and it does it all in real time! These are new laser-based molecular scanners, called Picosecond Programmable Lasers, that our government is considering placing in our airports to replace the TSA's current methods of body-frisking and -scanning.

Here is the full story at Gizmodo, and here is the product's website.

Happy Columbus Day

Sometimes I ask, "What was it he did, again?"

I say we get rid of a few of these useless holidays (government & post office holidays), and add a few that would be a lot more relevant: Super Bowl Sunday, the opening day of dove/deer season, and each person's birthday.

5 Ridiculous Gun Myths Everyone Believes

Source

It's a Cracked.com list, and most of their lists aren't that great. But this one is.

Even in gun-crazy America, most of us aren't shooting things as part of our day-to-day routine. So most Americans actually know very little about guns. Hollywood writers realized this a long time ago and, being writers, used it as an excuse to never do any fact-checking ever again.

5. Silencers Turn Gunfire Into a Gentle Whisper

Where You've Seen It: In The Line Of Fire, Die Hard 2, No Country For Old Men, Shooter, practically every James Bond movie.

The Myth:

Cautious spies and assassins know that if you're going to take out a bad guy in an office or a library, be sure to use a silencer. It turns the concussive "bang" into a neutered "ptew."

Itty-bitty handguns aren't the only things you can silence. Giant freaking shotguns can even be fitted with a special silencer that renders them inaudible in quiet suburban neighborhoods.

Also, while silencers look all slick and expensive and fancy, Hollywood says pretty much any long, hollow tube will do the job. Grab a two-liter, stuff it with socks or something, and you can be just as dangerous as Mark Wahlberg in Shooter.

The Problem:
Exploding gunpowder is loud. Really loud. As loud as a jet engine. A little metal tube won't do a whole lot to stop that. This is what a suppressed handgun actually sounds like:



It still sounds like a freaking handgun. It does not make a soft phut that you could mistake for a kitten landing on a pillow.

An unsilenced gunshot is around 140 to 160 decibels--that's in the range where hearing it once can permanently damage your ears. If you've never had a gun go off next to you, trust us when we say it's loud enough that your whole body will flinch at the sound of it. A silencer can get that all the way down to 120 or 130 decibles, aka the sound of a jackhammer. Still loud enough to cause physical pain if it's close enough to you.

So a silencer really just makes a large gun sound like a smaller gun. If you're James Bond and are sneaking into the enemy's compound with a silenced pistol, you're basically hoping the guards will decide your gun is too small and wimpy to be a serious threat, and leave you be.

So why the hell do silencers even exist? Well, if you're in an outdoor, noisy environment, they can make quite a bit of difference. Specifically, they make it really hard to tell where exactly the shot is coming from, or how far away it is.

And as for silenced shotguns? They do exist. Here's one in action:

Saints' Brees Is The Man

What a game! I'm pretty sure that's gonna be my lingering memory from this year's Super Bowl. Those few minutes right after the game when the camera was focused on Saints' QB Drew Brees and his son were priceless. If you could go into Drew's head at that moment, nothing else that was happening around him during those few minutes mattered. All he heard was silence, and all he cared about was enjoying that moment with his son.

I remember several scenes from one of my all-time favorite movies, John Woo's "Face Off" (Travolta/Cage), when right in the midst of an incredible action sequence, everything goes to slow-motion, and there is sometimes even no background music . The scenes allow you to feel what the characters are feeling at that very moment.

That's how that moment must have felt for Brees. It brought tears to my eyes.

Here are a few more pics:

Super Bowl XLIV Box Score here

Who Dat?

Are You Ready For Some Football?

Super Bowl Interruptus

The NFL made a huge, monumental mistake scheduling the Pro Bowl the week between the league championship games, and the Super Bowl. Every player in this league wants to be in the position that players who play for Indy & New Orleans are in. Probably 95% of them would give up ANY trip to a Pro Bowl, for a trip to the big game.

Guess who the voted-in starting QBs are? Right, Drew Brees, and Peyton Manning.

These two NFL teams had 14 players voted into the Pro-Bowl (7 each) - a super honor for any team, given that only 2 other teams had more of their players voted in (Dallas & Philly, both 9).

Now, back to the Super Bowl. Wait.. We can't because the NFL is mandating those 14 players to make a Pro Bowl appearance - whether or not they choose to play in the game. At this point I have no idea what that number is. I would guess it's close to zero. And it should be.

And that's a shame for everyone involved - except certain guys who may have otherwise been snubbed. All 14 of these guys would much rather not disrupt their team preparation for the BIG GAME (hello?), and have to make that commitment this weekend. So they lose out on an otherwise fun, career-rewarding trip to Hawaii, and the honor of playing in a star-studded game ...if they want. Most of them do, you know.

The game itself suffers because 14 of it's 120 players can't be forced to participate! While the Pro Bowl might attract a significantly larger number of commitments due to the earlier date, it's also guaranteeing itself that those who are on Super Bowl teams won't be there.

And shame on you for doing that to them!

NBA: Here We Stand

And it's time to start paying attention. All we'll hear about in the world of sports for the next 2 weeks is:

1) Is Favre gonna retire?

This is the problem with the 1-year contract for a player such as Brett Favre. He should come right out and say I'm not finished doing what I set out to do. If I make the decision to retire, that's not gonna happen until August. And that's it. Because no matter how he handles the next 6 months (and he's hurting his legacy by allowing there to be the "Brett Favre Soap Opera" that has taken place for nearly 3 years now), they will keep bring up this issue.

2) Super Bowl next: New Orleans Saints vs. Indianapolis Colts

You already know it's gonna be great. Being a Cowboy fan, it's the match-up that I 2nd-most-wanted to see. We beat the Saints. We also peaked too soon. I was one of the happy ones when Favre threw the interception. I love the guy, but this year is all about Brees and this Saints team. The beat a monster Vikings squad Sunday.

I also think that most people are overrating the Colts just a bit. Manning is surely MVP. They are certainly worthy. But this game is gonna come down to the Colts' secondary. It took them a while to figure out what rookie Sanchez and the Jets were doing to them. And the Colts D is gonna be eerily responsible for forcing the Saints to win in the only way that it can be done - by causing more turnovers than they do. There will be more on this later..

3) When is Tiger coming back? No later than The Masters.

4) NBA Basketball is about half-way through the season!

A lot of great teams have been struggling, and a lot of good teams have been kicking ass the last week or so. The competition is gonna be fierce!

Start paying attention - this is gonna be a crazy-good season! There will be more on this later, too
