Various, Random Articles

Here's some articles I've read of the last few weeks that I found of some interest.

• Department of Homeland Security contract linked to Russian mind-control.
• Religious people who are sooo lost - traveling to see supernatural ice.
• I'm a pack-rat, but I'm not this bad.
• Tardigrades - what are they and can they survive being shot into space?
• Musings on whether or not Apple is as big of a bully as Microsoft.
• How misinformed and deceived people are about the real Jesus. In this article about the current Survivor: China show, in one of the comments, a women named Kate says this about Jesus: "Hey David, if you actually studied the life of Jesus you would know that he studied Buddhism and that behavior like Leslies would make him ill. Leslie is not a follower of Jesus, but someone who has distorted his teachings so she can be ignorant, judgmental, and disrespectful to others. She's a Jesus Freak not a real Christian." That makes me sad.
