(10-16 points) You are Garfield :

You are very comfortable, easy going, and you definitely know how to have fun but sometimes you take it to an extreme. You always know what you are doing and you are always in control of your life. Others may not see things as you do, but that doesn't mean that you always have to do what is right.. Try to remember, your happy spirit may hurt you or others.

(17-23 points) You are Snoopy:

You are fun; you are very cool and popular. You always know what's in and you're never out of style, you are good at knowing how to satisfy everyone else. You have probably disappeared for a few days more than once but you always come home with the family values that you learned. Being married and having children are important to you, but only after you have had your share of fun times

(24-28 points) You are Elmo:

You have lots of friends and you are also popular, always willing to give advice and help out a person in need. You are very optimistic and you always see the bright side of things. Some good advice: try not to be too much of a dreamer. Dreaming too big could cause many conflicts in your life.

You are the classic person that everyone loves. You are the best friend that anyone could ever have and never wants to lose.. You never cause harm to anyone and they would never not understand your feelings. Life is a journey, it's funny and calm for the most part Stay away from traitors and jealous people and you will be stress free.

(36-43 points) You are Charlie Brown:

You are tender, you fa ll in love quickly but you are also very serious about all relationships. You are a family person. You call your Mom every Sunday. You have many friends and may occasionally forget a few birthdays. Don't let your passion confuse you with reality.

(44-50 points ) You are Dexter:

You are smart and definitely a thinker.. Every situation is confronted with a plan. You have a brilliant mind. You demonstrate very strong family principles. You maintain a stable routine but never ignore a bad situation when it comes. Try to do less over-thinking every once in a while to spice things up a bit with spontaneity!

Finnegan The Squirrel

Thanks to Paul S,

Debby Cantlon, who plans to release Finnegan,

the young squirrel, back into the wild, bottle-fed the infant squirrel

after it was brought to her house ...

When Cantlon took in the tiny creature and began caring for him,

she found herself with an unlikely nurse's aide:

her pregnant Papillion, Mademoiselle Giselle.

Finnegan was resting in a nest in a cage just days before Giselle was due to deliver her puppies.

Cantlon and her husband watched as the dog dragged the squirrel's cage twice to her

own bedside before she gave birth.

Cantlon was concerned,

yet ultimately decided to allow the squirrel out and the inter-species bonding began.

Finnegan rides a puppy mosh pit of sorts,

burrowing in for warmth after feeding, eventually working his way beneath his new litter mates.

Two days after giving birth, mama dog Giselle allowed Finnegan to nurse;

family photos and a videotape show her encouraging him to suckle alongside her litter of five pups.

Now, Finnegan mostly uses a bottle, but still snuggles with his 'siblings' in a moshpit of puppies,

rolling atop their bodies, and sinking in deeply for a nap.

Finnegan and his new litter of mates, five Papillion puppies,

get along together as if they were meant to.

Finnegan naps after feeding.

Finnegan makes himself at home with his new litter mates,

nuzzling nose-to-nose for a nap after feeding.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could all get along like Finnegan and the gang?

MORAL OF THE STORY: Keep loving everyone, even the squirrelly ones ...

End of an Aircraft era

Thanks to David H.

End of an Era

1944? No - it's the year 2010

Early Saturday morning in a rainy Seattle. 0300 hrs local time. The location: Boeing's historic Plant II

- about to be torn down after three quarters of a century

producing thousands of the most significant

and historic airplanes ever built.

In preparation for demolition,

three airplanes that have been undergoing

Museum of Flight restoration in the factory's assembly bays

will have to be moved.

Just as in days past,

with lights and images reflecting off the wet pavement,

the last three airplanes are rolled out.

The giant hangar doors are raised, the tugs and

towbars are hooked up, and with lights flashing,

they are moved out of the factory and onto the historic ramp.

Where so many have gone before.

Then across East Marginal Way and out onto Boeing Field.

They are the last airplanes to roll out of these doors.

Ever.

First out isn't even a Boeing airplane

- but rather a Lockheed Super G Constellation

that flew for Trans-Canada Air Lines.

The Connie is destined for the Air Park,

next to Air Force One,

after a Plant II stay of 1 year and three days.

Next is a Boeing B-17

- especially heart-tugging as she is the last B-17

to roll out of these doors.

Boeing built 6981 B-17s in this factory

during WW II, at a peak rate of 16 per day.

I guess you could say they built 6981 and rolled out 6982

- including this last ship - 65 years after her last sister.

A poignant moment in time.

Museum employee and good friend Evan Elliott,

driving the tug, knows he has just made history.

Finally, a Boeing B-29 rolls under the raised hangar doors

and out into the dark and wet night.

The very last airplane that will ever roll from this factory.

This Boeing B-29 is the "last of the last."

The now empty factory bays sit - silently awaiting their fate.

Everyone present knew they were witnessing history unfolding in front of their eyes.

More than a few tears ran down more than a few cheeks,

to mingle with the soft Seattle drops of rain.

A Boeing Plant II Primer

The ramp that these three historic airplanes roll across,

and the building they leave

is one of the most historic aviation sites in the world.

Here, in April 1944,

are the 16 B-17 Flying Fortress bombers produced in this building

- that day, and every day!

Click here for a Personal Note about those B-17s.

In October 1944, the first Boeing XC-97 rolled out of these doors

- later to become the C-97 transport, KC-97 Tanker,

and B-377 commercial Stratocruiser.

(See the camouflage on the roof?)

During WW II, the plant was completely camouflaged to look like a residential area as protection against possible Japanese air attack.

In the late 1940s and early 1950s, myriad B-50 bombers and C-97 Transports are being produced in this factory.

On 12 Sept 1947, a radical new airplane

- the Boeing B-47 six-jet bomber Prototype is rolled out.

This airplane is the direct lineal matriarch

for all the jet airplanes Boeing has produced since.

In 1952, in the darkness and wet of a Seattle night,

the Prototype Boeing B-52 8-engine Bomber

is rolled out and across East Marginal Way.

She's shrouded in secrecy and covered by canvas and tarps.

This amazing airplane is still in front-line combat service to this day.

Here 277 B-52s are being produced

where the earlier airplanes once were assembled.

And, in 1966, the first Prototype Boeing twin-jet 737

was manufactured in this building and rolled out of these doors on to this ramp.

This airplane (which I worked on - then, and which I still work on - now,)

is in the Museum's collection.

She's the first of more than 8000 737s built or ordered since then.

She, and 44 years later, the Super Connie,

are my bit of Plant II experience.

And so, today - History meets History as the last three airplanes roll out of these doors. Boeing's Plant II is truly aviation Hallowed Ground.

Chupacabra a robot?

Lair of the Beasts: Monsters and Conspiracies

Vampires of Puerto Rico

By Nick Redfern November 20, 2010

The real Men in Black are likely out there..

Most people – if they were even to give the subject some thought – would assume that there could not be any sort of conspiracy theories attached to sightings of strange creatures and unknown animals. They would, however, be very wrong. Indeed, I have come across a number of such cases myself, and here’s one of them.

For years, sensational and sinister stories have surfaced from the forests and lowlands of Puerto Rico that tell of a strange and lethal creature roaming the landscape by night and day, while striking overwhelming terror into the hearts of the populace - which is not at all surprising since the animal has been described as having a pair of glowing red eyes, powerful, claw style hands, razor sharp teeth, a body not unlike that a monkey, a row of vicious spikes running down the length of its back, and occasionally, and of deep relevance to this particular chapter, a pair of large and leathery bat-like wings.

And if that is not enough: the beast is said to feed on the blood of the local animal - and predominantly goat – population, after puncturing their jugular veins with two sharp teeth. That’s correct: Puerto Rico has a monstrous vampire in its midst. Its name is the Chupacabras, a Latin term, very appropriately meaning Goat Sucker.

Theories abound with respect to the nature of the beast, with some researchers and witnesses suggesting that the monster is some form of giant-bat; others prefer the theory that it has extraterrestrial origins; while the most bizarre idea postulated is that the Chupacabras is the creation of a top secret, genetic research laboratory hidden deep within Puerto Rico’s El Yunque rainforest, which is located in the Sierra de Luquillo, approximately forty kilometers southeast of the city of San Juan.

On several occasions, I have traveled to the island of Puerto Rico to try and seek out the vampire-like Chupacabras for myself, and, perhaps one day, even to determine its true nature. On one particular occasion, while roaming around Puerto Rico in 2005, I had the very good fortune to meet a man named Antonio, a pig farmer who had an unusual experience in 2000 that led to a decidedly strange visit from a Woman in Black / Man in Black duo.

As Antonio told me, one of his animals had been killed, after darkness had fallen, by the now familiar puncture marks to the neck. In this case, however, the animal exhibited three such marks, rather than the usual two. In addition, a number of rabbits kept on the property had been slaughtered in identical fashion.

At the time that all of the carnage was taking place, a considerable commotion was, quite naturally being made by the rest of Antonio’s animals. As a result, upon hearing this, he rushed wildly out of his house with a machete in his hand, and flung it hard in the direction of the marauding predator. Very strangely, he told me, the makeshift weapon seemed to bounce off something that seemed distinctly metallic in nature.

In fact, Antonio suggested that what the machete had made contact with seemed armor-plated in nature. Due to the overwhelming darkness, he had no idea what the creature may have been, however. But something deadly was prowling around the property. The machete was later given to Antonio’s cousin for safekeeping. The most confounding aspect of the affair was still to come, however. That’s right: Antonio was about to get a visit of from a couple of dark-suited government agents.

Shortly after the killing of the pig and the rabbits, a man and woman – dressed in typical, official-looking black regalia, on a stifling hot day, no less, and who announced they worked for NASA – arrived at the farm and quickly proceeded to ask Antonio a wealth of questions about what had occurred, what he had seen, and the way in which his animals had met their grisly fates.

When the conversation was over, the pair thanked the bemused farmer, in a fashion befitting both the Women in Black and the Men in Black – wholly unemotionally, in other words - and left without uttering another, single word. How the dark duo even knew that the attacks had taken place, and why on earth NASA would be dispatching personnel to his farm to investigate them, Antonio had no idea at all.

One thing that Antonio told me he had held back from informing his two mysterious visitors was that on the morning after the attack he had found strange footprints on his property that were spread quite a distance from each other; and he formed the opinion that whatever had made them, had the ability to leap considerable distances, in a fashion similar to that of a Kangaroo – or, perhaps even, he mused, it had the ability to fly. Leaping or flying monsters, Men and Women in Black and mutilated animals collectively suggested that something highly strange – and highly conspiratorial, too - was, and perhaps still is, afoot on Puerto Rico.
