And so, dear friends, we commence another year of Cow Antics. Those of you who’ve been around long enough will realise that on January 28 it will be the 10th Anniversary of Tetherd Cow Ahead, as almost inconceivable as that seems. Should we have a party? If enough of you want to, maybe I will.
But for now, let me wish you all a robust and fruitful 2015, with as many good things as you can fit in your pockets.
Happy New Year!
(PS, those headlines are all from today’s ABC News site. I exaggerate you not. That’s an Australian summer for you!)
When the crocs invade the south we will finally realise we are truly doomed.
Happy New Year to one and all
:D
Thank You!
See, all those flaming sharkodiles is why nobody wants to move to Australia.
The truth is that we make sure there are plenty of headlines like that so you don’t find out about why we never want to leave…
Is this the season when the crazies come out? Boingboing’s got a *beautiful* one here: the interviewer is just a joy, with lines like “I can’t tell if you’re trolling me or not”, but the interviewee sticks to his guns: “You have to get inta the Negative Time Domain,” hee hee.
They’re offering a free DVD!

Definitely one to keep an eye out for :)
Oh, I just read the comments at BB! Yes, these guys are CEO William (Bill) Alek aka Dr Whodini, and VP Aurora Light.
Whodini consults on “FREE Energy, Antigravitational, Time Travel devices and systems”, involved in UFO SkyWatch TV, Tesla’s radiant energy, the NAZI Bell Antigravity Device, Low Energy Nuclear Fusion, building flying saucers, Transmutation of Elements, Bible Prophesy, UFOs, the “Alien Agenda” and exopolitics…
And Ms Light… “benevolent human appearing extraterrestrials, her life saved by Divine Intervention […] career in metaphysics […] affecting the outcome of many events with her mind. Her “Muse” work, intuitive health counseling and long distance healing […] expert on “Trespasso,” the ancient art of remembering and seeing past lives, [teaches] how to open their third eye and spiritually connect with the God force… her encounters with ETs while living in Michigan, including a dramatic intervention in which she was saved from an impending car accident, and experienced frozen time and telepathic communications. She also spoke about seeing a medium handle Dr. Ray Brown’s ‘Atlantean’ crystal, in which it changed colors and looked like ‘neon Jello.'”
The only reason they might be unworthy subjects is that, really… I don’t see any badness here. Seems like they’re curious believers in kitchen-sink fringery, and are happy to take donations towards spending their time poking at the sink, including a good few thousand from Haiti to look into it: but I don’t think it’s malicious and dangerous intent to deceive, like I see with the shootaggers et al.
So, not a show proposal by the Chaser Team?
Ah, OK, so I’ve investigated. Yes, really they are just fruitloops. I don’t think they’re out to fleece people in the same way as the Shootaggers are, nor indeed even like Steorn (who I think are a heady mix of of swindlers, idiots AND true believers). It seems a little too much like shooting fish in a barrel. They want it to be true, but are just scientifically challenged (and probably have dropped a few too many tabs in their time).
Agreed – they’re… “cute” describes how I feel about it best, I think.
Which sounds really condescending, but I can’t help it: they ARE cute!
I’ll check this when I get a chance Dewi – just been away for a few days.
