I'm not really angry about any political event right now, so I'll spread some interesting news:

I just found out that the number two al Qaeda guy they had surrounded for the past 5 days or so escaped! How you ask? Through a TWO KILOMETER long tunnel!!! That is a LONG tunnel. One mile is the same as 1.6 km, so that tunnel was about 1.25 miles long! That's incredible, especially considering the countryside in that area is rather rocky/hilly etc. Now, the Pakistani brigadier in charge is trying to tell us that the tunnel is brand new; that they didn't come across it the last time they looked through the area. I find that to be really funny. Noone digs a 2km long tunnel that fast! In Great Escape, a 300 ft tunnel took them well over 5-6 weeks. That leads me to believe that I must have misinterpreted the brigadier; he must have meant either that the last time they checked this area was NEVER or ... really, really, really long ago. That makes sense.

In other news, Sedna is not the tenth planet, but Pluto is still the ninth planet. Why? Sedna is only a smidgeon smaller than Pluto (about 10-15% smaller, I think). They're both on the inner edge of the Oort Cloud. There's no reason one should be a planet and the other not besides the whole 'tradition' thing. If we kept with tradition, we'd still be teaching that God created Earth and all its beings rather than that mumbo-jumbo scientists call evolution. Why, I bet we'd even be teaching that the earth is flat and in the center of the universe. What I'm trying to say is that tradition holds back science. It may be useful in other fields, but not science. Let either Sedna become a planet or let Pluto's planethood fall by the wayside. We can't be hypocritical just to keep with tradition.

There's nothing else to report really. Even though I'm liking Kerry less and less the more I find out about him, I'm still going to vote for him (namely because Bush can't seriously be allowed to "run" this country for four more years). It really hurts to admit to this, but I'm more voting against Bush than voting for Kerry. It's a sad day when one has to do that in a democracy...
