Winston Churchill Believed in Aliens!*

So, you say you don’t believe in aliens? It’s all a bunch of garbage? Well, even if there is little scientific proof the earth has been visited by little green men, one of the more credible figures of the 20th century saw UFOs as a credible potentiality: Winston Churchill.

Churchill and ET: a match made in the heavens?

According to Fox News, documents have recently surfaced in the UK detailing an event during World War II, in which a British figher was tailed by an unidentified flying object. Churchill took the event so seriously that he discussed classifying it for 50 years with US General Dwight Eisenhower because he feared it would cause “mass panic” and “destroy one’s belief in the church.”

Unrleated, in other events recently released in UK documents one man apparently put a little money on the line:

In one incident, a gambler approached the Defense Department for help after a local gambling parlor refused to pay out on his 100-1 bet that aliens would land on Earth before the end of the 20th century.

Looks like he should have read our article on Science Bookies and Wagers!

*Admittedly, there seems to be little evidence released that Churchill ordered a cover-up and saying he believed in aliens is a stretch I want to believe in. Then again, I doubt cover-ups typically leave a definite paper trail.

U.S. Cyber Command Likes to Play Games

It’s good to see that the department created to safeguard the United States government against internet attack is able to keep things lighthearted. In the Cyber Command’s newly unveiled logo, a code was hidden that not even high-level officials of the department know how to decode. Apparently the code corresponds to a snippet of the Command’s motto, but it could really be anything.

A contest has emerged for the first person to crack the code. The prize? A whopping shirt…

How do you satisfy the perverts and prudes at the same time? Take the pervert’s pin-up calendar and subtract the obscenity by making it “scientific.”

A company that manufactures medical equipment has created a pin-up calendar featuring x-ray images of models…

This thing would probably actually look pretty cool hanging on a wall.

Testicle Monsters Prompt Castration

In one of the most bizarre stories I have come across, a California man snipped his reproductive vessels because an acid trip made him think his testicles contained “monsters.” Alomst too strange to believe, apparently this story has credence. To make sure he purged the demons, the man flushed his testicles down a toilet…

Don’t do drugs, kids.
