Our new overlords are on their way, or you know it's some weird radiation blip that really means nothing.

NASA is preparing a submarine to explore Titan.

Doesn't sound like they've built anything yet. It's a conceptual design for a vehicle that will navigate a hydrocarbon sea.

Middle-aged parents are now more likely to smoke weed than their teenaged kids.

Thank heavens. It would be terrible if they were smoking their teenaged kids.

'Seven-foot Yowie' seen near Toowoomba

A Yowie is the Australian version of a Yeti or Sasquatch.

"It was probably around seven foot tall, it had a head like a gorilla and long arms, I couldn't see it from the waist down because it was walking through the long grass," she said.
...
The Yowie Hunters run the Australian Yowie Research website and say they have recorded more than 10 sightings in Queensland in the past five years.

And the audio report on YouTube, with a different sighting posted today.

That has so much gaming potential for alternate earths or alien worlds.

I'm guessing Watts isn't actually advocating compensatory cop killing, but he has had a hard time with law enforcement in the past, so I'm going to peg this at 10% serious proposal and 90% acid-trip daydream.
