A colossal fossilised skull of a 'sea monster', possibly the biggest of its kind ever found, has been discovered along Britain's Jurassic Coast.
A new book, GODDESS OF THE MARKET about Ayn Rand covers both the positive and negative parts of her life and philosophy. This talk by the author is in 7 parts, each about 5 to 7 minutes long.
From Surfer Richard Crowe. "Imagine a person, tall, lean and feline, high-shouldered, with a brow like Shakespeare and a face like Satan, a close-shaven skull, and long, magnetic eyes of the true cat-green. Invest him with all the cruel cunning of an entire Eastern race, accumulated in one giant intellect, with all the resources of science past and present, with all the resources, if you will, of a wealthy government--which, however, already has denied all knowledge of his existence. Imagine that awful being, and you have a mental picture of Dr. Fu-Manchu, the yellow peril incarnate in one man."
THE MASK OF FU MANCHU was made before film censorship hit America, and it was so racist, sexual and outrageous it may have played a role in ushering in censorship. It is also a great Fu Manchu movie, perhaps the best of all the movies. But it reveals America's attitudes towards Asians at the time, even if today no one wants to admit it. Watch it here:

Over the past few days, a remarkable letter was published in four parts at the blog of Marty Rathbun, a former high-level Scientology official who has left the church and now criticizes Scientology's leader, David Miscavige.
In the letter, written to Scientology's current national spokesman, Tommy Davis, 'Crash' director Paul Haggis explains why he is leaving Scientology after 35 years.
Long known for his humanitarian efforts and strong support for civil liberties, Haggis says he was stunned when the San Diego branch of Scientology publicly supported Proposition 8, the state amendment that took away marriage rights for California gay couples. http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/archives/2009/10/crash_director.php
