Greetings.

Today’s news and commentary:

• “Palestinian "Moderate" (1978)”
  
• “Mughrabi dig prompts rise in Muslim antisemitism” (Note the absurd delusions claimed.)
  
• “Gunman's Family: PA Advised Us To Lie”
  
• “Guns and Poses in the Palestinian Territories”
  
• “Urban road race to test limits of robotic cars”
  
• “Japanese scientists grow teeth from single cells”
  
• “Science finds new ways to regrow fingers”
  
• “Life's Barcode: Genetic Tests Unveil 15 New Species of North American Birds”

Today’s weird thing is “Lost in Oz”, a pilot for a TV show derivative of the 1939 The Wizard of Oz movie made in 2002 with elements of L. Frank Baum’s The Patchwork Girl of Oz in an extremely distorted form. This pilot has some rather unique ideas not found in any of the other off-canon Oz material.

Enjoy, share the weirdness, and yes, that really is the oddest interpretation of the Patchwork Girl I have ever heard of.
