In the Future: 1988
Anyone remember this: back in the sixties or so, when "The Environment" was the big thing, there was a TV program that simulated a future news cast from 1988. The news showed widespread drought, hurricanes and fires, all brought on by urban sprawl and lack of attention to environmental issues.
Kind of reminded by that when watching the news: fires in SoCal, drought in the southeast, flooding in the south, etc.

Forest fires in SoCal - what a surprise!
What will be next snow in Minnesota,
or darkness at night,
or a big, bright, hot thing in the sky in the morning?
Why don't we hear of such fires in other parts of the world? Could it be that they allowed natural burns in their forests to burn off the dead wood? They don't have expensive homes built in vulernable areas? They don't have major news bureaus in the areas?

Doctor Discovers the 'Orgasmatron'
ABC News: Doctor Discovers the 'Orgasmatron'
Quote:
"When we turned on the power in this case, she let out a moan and began hyperventilating," Meloy said on ABC News' Good Morning America. "Of course we cut the power and I looked around the drapes and asked her what was going on. Once she caught her breath, she said 'you're gonna have to teach my husband how to do that!' "
