Found this video through the Angelspit forums (Angelspit is an AMAZING cyberpunk band from Australia, go check them out NOW).  Part of me is slightly unnerved that they named it HAL but the rest of me is like OMG I WANT TO BE A CYBORG!!!!  I would love the chance to live in a world like Ghost in the Shell, but then again I am the one with the mech fetish XD

Flemington, NJ, July 10, 2008 -Jeremy Hall, a 23-year-old US soldier is suing the Department of Defense for allegedly discriminating against him because of his religious beliefs.

Hall asserts that there is a pattern of discrimination against non-Christians in the military. CNN said Hall filed a federal lawsuit against the Department of Defense in March, claiming his rights to religious freedom under the First Amendment were violated.

Weinstein claims that he has been contacted by more than 8,000 members of the military and many of them complaining about pressure to embrace evangelical Christianity.

While viewing the CNN segment, participants indicated their levels of believability by moving their mouse from left to right on a continuum. The responses were recorded in quarter-second intervals and reported in the form of curves.

This is an awesome website dedicated to the spreading of knowledge through videotaped sixteen minute speeches called "TEDtalks" where you get to see some of the smartest fucking people in the world from Jane Goodall to Stephen Hawking and all points in between talk about different subjects and introduce all kinds of new theories/ideas/etc.

Thanks to my friend James for pointing this website out to me.

A few things before you watch this show.
1. Hulu.com is by far one of the best sites ever (other then this one)
2. Gaytown is worth watching from beginning to end (11 ep. in total)
