1 ’Adhar 5769: Ro’sh Ḥodhesh/Ash Wednesday

Greetings.

Relevant to Divine Misconceptions:

1. Things keep looking down for Richard Williamson: “Nazi row bishop leaves Argentina”. Argentina threw him out. Now maybe the Pope will get around to excommunicating him again...
   
2. Another country decides to violate freedom of religion using pathetic legal excuses: “AZERBAIJAN: Literature censorship for export also?”

Today’s news and commentary:

• “Amnesty Researchers”
  
• “Calcium might fight cancer ”
  
• “Alp-sized peaks found entombed in Antarctic ice”
  
• “How to Save New Brain Cells”
  
• “James Randi Speaks: Dowsing, the Ideomotor Effect”, which deals with how not to try to demonstrate that dowsing works:
  
  
• “Man, 75, manages to chase down much younger thief”

Today’s weird thing is The Gallery of Exploding Servers. Enjoy, share the weirdness, and happy new month.
