RANDOM MEDIA
Here you will find news items and random media that I have found interesting, educational, funny, serious, trivial,
or just plain head-scratching.

Video: Lost, The Series (A Weird Al Parody)
I am a huge fan of the show called Lost. This is a cute video using Weird Al's version
of the Queen hit "Bohemian Rhapsody." It's just plain nutty! But watch and listen closely to the lyrics.
If you're familiar with the series, every line of this song relates to the show! You may have to watch it a few times
to catch all of the links between the song and various episodes. Awesome!

Video: Salt And Soundwaves
Okay, this is just the coolest thing . . . ever!!! When salt is subjected to various soundwaves, it forms itself
into such beautiful patterns, it's almost mind-boggling! I couldn't help but think, as I watched this video, that I was
watching proof that the patterns of the Universe are inherently beautiful, and that all we need to do is pay attention.
And appreciate it. The gods are indeed artists!

Video: Westboro Baptist Wackos
No, this is not a typical representation of Christian beliefs. Not by any means. BUT, this is just how far someone can take
the idea that their faith (a) is the only true religion and (b) must be pushed upon those who do not share their belief. The
Westboro Baptist Church prides
itself on the ugliest species of intolerance and bigotry which, to varying degrees, is a sad undercurrent in this nation's society.
Don't be fooled by the circus-like display of this fringe sect. The truth is, they speak for many conservatives who feel that
there is no room in this nation for equal rights to gays or those who prefer to practice non-Christian religion.
