Sunday, July 10th, 2016What Did in Fact Happen to Malaysia Airlines Flight 370
Sunday, March 9th, 2014
The strange ‘behaviour’ of the missing jet liner suggests yet another alien abduction / UFO encounter. How can a football field sized aircraft with 250 souls on board, loaded with the latest technology, disappear in a blink of an eye, sending no ‘Mayday’ and leaving no traces?
We consider two plausible explanations:
A. HIJACK AND LOW ALTITUDE FLIGHT TO A HIDDEN RUNWAY
B. ‘BERMUDA TRIANGLE’ TYPE OF ALIEN INTERVENTION
This is a brief analysis of the two scenarios:
A. Men and/or women with stolen passports, using an accomplice at the booking agency and another at the departure border in Kuala Lumpur, possibly even another within the airline’s staff, even one of the crew, boarded the flight illegally. When they think that the flight is out of the Malaysian air space (most of the ascent having been over land), they take over, direct the pilots to descend abruptly and change course back to land. At that moment the 777 had at least 7 hours worth of fuel to be used mainly on cruising high. We may assume the fuel would have lasted about two hours on flying at the sea level. It is early morning, low visibility and a plane can fly in good weather for hundreds of miles under the radar. An organized team of hijackers are directing the plane to an unknown destination, surely on land, where the aircraft can be hidden and/or ditched but the passengers can be used as leverage. There are plenty of countries with a multitude of believes in the area. We estimate that, after some fuel ditching into the sea, the destination would have been at a maximum distance of one hour and a half from the lost contact point. Who has a mile + long runway build into the rain forest for a single landing? Why are we not receiving any terrorist demands? Why don’t spy satellites come up with some pictures?
B. The aliens show up from another dimension/vibration level. The pilots try to change course, but their 777 is no match for the UFO’s capacity to block all communications, then all is suddenly happening elsewhere and the door we used to use is no more.
Judge for yourselves and pray for the passengers. Why do you think.. you think about this ‘crash’? The more time passes without any clue, the more viable the alien theory appears to be.
Of course, some wreckage will have to be produced to avoid public questions.
Bed Time Story (continued from 02/08/2011)
Sunday, May 27th, 2012Night 7
Which computer did we use to write this story at the beginning? It doesn’t matter. I don’t want this in the story, it’s so annoying. Let’s see where the rice is coming from!
If you want to write everything we say, write “I wrote this”.
Rice is essential for a nice lion heart dish. On Planet-Go-to-Bed there’s no rice, as rice grows in fields flooded with water and the only water on that planet can be found in very deep wells full of cows. So, rice has to be imported from Planet Earth. When little children don’t want to go to bed, their parents, who are, of course, much younger, point to the sky and say: “Look, there’s a handful of grains of rice somebody from Earth planted in the Heavens, find you own grain and go to sleep!”
But Faruno was studying at school what people eat on Planet Earth and he found out that only two billions of them actually eat rice. Some others eat prawns, pork and chicken nuggets, but some don’t eat at all.
Today Faruno learned about pizza. This is a very important traditional dish on Earth, as it can make people there sick or healthy, depending on their diet. If you have too much pizza on Earth, you may develop cavities in your teeth. cavities are little caves, where savage germs have parties and their music gets so loud, that it reaches your brain and you start singing as well. The most likely song you’ll sing is called “Ouch!” and it goes like this: “I have no idea, my brain is empty, my tooth is hurting, ouch, ouch, ouch!”
What do we do if we have cavities? We take them to a creative doctor, called the dentist chef. He makes more pizzas, but they are so tiny, they can fill your cavities very easily. The smaller they are, the more expensive they get. A large pizza with mozzarella, salami and zucchini, as seen on TV, can fill the cavities of a whole school, but if you are really rich, you can get a microscopic vegetarian pizza with pineapple and nothing else and this will cure only one tooth, very small, with a cavity so tiny a germ can not even fit in it.
Faruno asked his teacher whether you can get rice pizzas on Planet Earth but the bell rang and when it rings we all have to really go to bed.
A Short Tale of Fathers and Sons
Friday, March 16th, 2012When my father came home in those days of old, I was not terrified, but I was utterly aware and I would make sure that none of my friends could call me out for a game of football in the parking lot. Nor could I call them, as their fathers would also be at home by then and it would be disrespectful even to think of disobeying the orders they never actually gave.
My seven year old son goes to bed with my laptop computer and watches videos or plays games until he drops down fast asleep. My father used to punish me for reading classics with a torch under my bed cover when I was seventeen.
I am certainly not adapted to this brave new world and all my struggle is just a mockery of how I should be: father and son, all in one, as software comes embedded in the new hardware these days. I have no ‘firmware’. I teach my son how to skip a stone on the fine surface of his reality. In a different era I would teach him how to carry a pocket knife when camping. How do you teach your kid not to be politically correct? Why do you still have those kids if you can not teach them your own values, your long-line inheritance?
Never mind.
