Satanic Church Plans To Hold A ‘Ritual Exorcism Of God’
Friday, September 3, 2010
God shakes his head and yawns…
“The leader of an Satanic church firmly planted in the Bible Belt has raised eyebrows by renting a theater in the Oklahoma City Civic Center for a ritual exorcism of God.”
“The Church of the IV Majesties is inviting members and the public to view the ritual, in hopes of erasing a lot of the unfounded fears many have about Satanism.”
“We don’t kill animals (kittens are cute), we don’t kill children(they just scare them silly),” James Hale, the church’s Lord High Master, told ABCNews.com.”
“We just decided that being right here in the middle of the Bible Belt, it wasn’t a good idea to keep the secrecy you see in the traditional Satanist churches,” he said. “Because secrecy breeds fear. And we’re not looking to scare anyone.”
“Citing concerns for privacy and safety, Hale declined to say how many members the church has besides the seven members who are named on the church’s state listing as a tax exempt religious organization, a designation they were awarded this spring.”

Creature Spotted Swimming In Florida Waters
Friday, September 3, 2010
Clearwater, Florida — “A family vacationing from Ohio says they spotted what they describe as a 30-foot long serpent like creature swimming in the water off Sand Key Park on Monday.”
“Was it another sighting of Normandy Nessie, the Bay area’s version of the Loch Ness Sea Monster?”
“Russ Sittloh, who first video taped a mysterious black 20-foot long creature in the canal behind his Madeira Beach home more than a year ago, believes it could be Normandy Nessie.”
“Sittloh named the creature Normandy, after the road he lives on.”
“Experts say what Sittloh and others have seen could be anything from a manatee to an anaconda.”
“Most of the time when people see this stuff, they don’t get to see it for any real length of time and it’s so far away, it’s really hard to make out,” said Vernon Yates of Wildlife Rehab and Rescue.”
Not to mention they’d probably been drinking whiskey sours and smoking pot for about seven hours on a party boat, just moments before the sighting. You can watch some of the video here…follow this link.

“She Looks So Natural…”
Tuesday, August 31, 2010
One question I often get from readers is, “what happens to my body after I die?” or “What does the Mortician do to me?” Well here’s your quick lesson of the day. For more information, follow the source link below.
“When a person dies, the family generally arranges for a funeral home to collect the body and prepare it for burial or cremation. In Western societies, embalming is often done as a matter of course. The reason is to keep the body from decomposing and make it look presentable for family and friends who may wish to view it.”
Step 1: The Body’s Embalmed
- The body is washed down with disinfectant.
- A tube is inserted into the carotid or femoral artery to pump embalming fluid throughout the body. A larger tube is placed in an accompanying vein to drain the blood that is flushed out
- An embalming machine pumps the fluid into the body and it takes about an hour to wash all the blood out.
Step 2: The Internal Organs Are Embalmed
- A small incision is made above the navel and a long sharp vacuum tube called a trocar is inserted.
- The trocar is directed into the heart, lungs, stomach, bladder, intestines and other organs and blood, urine, feces and other liquids are removed by suction.
- Embalming fluid is injected into the organs.
Step :3 Cosmetic Work Is Done To Prepare The Body For Viewing
Cosmetic work is done to give the body the appearance of being peacefully asleep. This is particularly important where the death was violent or injuries were incurred.
- Dye is normally added to the embalming fluid to give the body a pinkish glow.
- The hair is washed, nails trimmed and men’s faces shaved.
- Plastic eye cups are inserted and the mouth is fastened shut.
- Cuts, bruises and gashed can be disguised and filled in with cosmetic wax.
- Body cavities are plugged with cotton gauze to prevent leakage.
- The body is dressed in clothing supplied by the family.

Fascinating Video Of A UFO Over Japan (Video w/Subtitles)
Tuesday, August 31, 2010
I came across this video today and found it pretty compelling. I wasn’t able to dig up much information about the footage, other than the fact that it was filmed about a month ago. I provided a rough (very rough) translation of what is being said in the video. Follow this link to youtube…

Giant 56lb Tumor Removed From Argentinean Woman
Tuesday, August 31, 2010
“There are many things you don’t want to hear after surgeons remove a tumor from your body.”
“We were totally shocked,” Dr. Oscar Lopez, leader of a surgical team that operated on an Argentinean woman said.”
(That’s one of them.)
“Lopez had pulled a 56-pound tumor from the body of a 54-year-old housewife who prefers to remain anonymous.”
“His team at Gandulfo Hospital in the city of Lomas de Zamora was expecting something the size of an orange. They pulled out a boulder instead. It was 19 inches across and took four hours to remove.”
“The 343-pound woman said she had felt a constant growth in her abdomen for a year and a half, but just thought she was gaining weight.”
That is, HANDS DOWN, the most disgusting and awesome thing I’ve seen all day.

Belgium Considers A Greener Alternative to Cremation…LIQUEFIED CORPSES!
Monday, August 30, 2010
Belgium is considering whether to allow a new method of disposing of human remains that is being billed as a greener, less carbon-intensive alternative to cremation.”
“Funeral directors in northern Belgium want the country to give the green light to resomation, a water and alkali-based process that turns bodies into a mix of liquid and minerals. Resomation uses less energy than cremation and emits significantly fewer greenhouse gas emissions.”
“The process, which is legal in six U.S. states, leaves behind liquid and soft bones, according to the Daily Mail. The bones can be crushed into a powder that can be recycled in waste streams or put into urns for family members, similar to what is done with conventional cremation ashes. The liquid remains contain no DNA and could potentially be disposed of through local sewer systems, Marketplace reported.”
“Belgian funeral directors hope to begin using resomation within three months.”
Phrases you wouldn’t want to hear at a liquefied corpse funeral….”Mom, some of Grandma spilled on my new white shirt!”

Graverobbers Strike Long Island Cemetery
Sunday, August 29, 2010
EAST FARMINGDALE, N.Y. –“On Tuesday evening police were investigating the theft of human remains from a Long Island mausoleum.”
“Suffolk County police said the break-in at the St. Charles Cemetery happened between 6:30 p.m. Monday and 7:30 a.m. Tuesday.”
“Authorities said they believe more than one person was involved in the incident. Police said the suspects hopped the fence to get into the cemetery and broke into three mausoleums and removed a body from a crypt, 1010 WINS’ Carol D’Auria reports.”
“We believe that human remains we’re removed from the casket and the cemetery property,” Suffolk County Deputy Inspector Robert Brown told CBS 2′s Scott Rapoport.”
“A casket was removed from the crypt, brought outside the mausoleum building and opened up. There there was a body removed from the casket that was opened up.”
“Police said the perpetrators knew what they were doing.”
“They came to the cemetery prepared. They knew what they would face inside the crypt and what would have to be done to remove a casket and open it,” Brown said.”
“The suspects then likely had to carry the body over the cemetery fence to get away, authorities said.” I’d like to imagine they walked the body ‘Weekend at Bernies’ style.
“The body was that of a female buried 12 years ago.”

Monster Hunters Flock To Boat Tour In Hopes Of Photographing ‘Nessie’
Sunday, August 29, 2010
Scotland — As the lake cruise boat Royal Scot chugs away from this historic village at the south end of the world-famous Loch Ness, everyone aboard (adult fare: $17 for a one-hour ride) primes their cameras in hopes of seeing the legendary monster many believe dwells in chill 40-degree water near the lake’s bottom as much as 754 feet below.
It’s a legend many hundreds of years old, spurred by scores of alleged sightings dating back as far as the sixth century, when St. Columba, who brought Christianity to Scotland, is said to have waved a cross to halt the motion of a monster.
A few supposed photographs show a serpent-like creature that might stem from a line of Mesozoic-era plesiosaurs that some scientists now say might possibly have survived eons in the frigid depths. This theory holds that the monsters became loch-bound after ice age glaciers cut off an opening to the North Sea by depositing a ridge of dirt across the River Ness at the north end of the lake, land that’s now the city of Inverness.
As the boat edges out onto the loch, all eyes scan the water for anything resembling a monster. It makes little difference that everyone knows if Nessie doesn’t turn up today, stuffed versions of her can be found in many sizes and shapes in every gift shop in Scotland.
But there’s no sign of a monster as the lake cruise continues, other than the gravelly Horseshoe scar on an ultra-steep 900-foot-high part of the loch’s eastern bank. Locals claim Nessie scratched it into the hillside when she tried to escape the lake by land several decades back.
Disappointed “monster hunters’ don’t have to leave empty handed though. The boat’s owner strategically positioned a Nessie sticker on one of the boat’s windows so you can snap your own picture of the Loch Ness monster. I suppose it makes it easier to swallow the fact that you spent 17 dollars for a one hour boat ride.
