Links

I haven't posted in a while (busy at work) so to save space I'm putting some of these up without comments, but they are all worthy of peek, even the funny sounding ones.

• Movies/Television
• Fraggle Rock Returns
• Jackson Loses the Hobbit
  New Line decides to shop this around after a contract dispute. Can they be that dense?
  
• Politics
• Military faces battles over religion (Specifically Wiccan symbols on military headstones)
  
• Science

• Moon's Magnetic Umbrella Seen as Safe Haven for Explorers

• What do Paris Hilton and Second Life have in common?
  I've posted several links that extol Second Life, but this one has an opposite and interesting view.  I also saw yesterday someone introduced a worm to Second Life that caused shining rings to appear  in the game. The more characters attempted to interact with the rings, the more they spawned.  They are calling it "grey goo". :))
