» What Is Alien Soup? |
Alien Soup is an alien-themed general chit-chat community where thoughts come to be seen. It is where participating members can manifest their emotions, feelings, problems, questions, or triumphs as visible, digitally tangible entities, which take on their own life as other members add to them, alter them, and cultivate them into powerful monuments to the collaborative human mind.
It it just what it is called - a soup. A mixture of all things which can enhance the broth without denying it its intrinsic goodness and desirability. Its specific flavor is determined entirely by those who are willing to contribute their personality and wisdom to the mixture. There is, within reason, nothing that doesn't fit somewhere in the soup - its ingredients are boundless, its flavor unrestricted, its nutritional value infinite.

ATLANTA - The El-E robot looks like something you'd see in a Hollywood sci-fi flick: It's got two lenses spaced together just like eyes and a slender 5 1/2-foot-tall body. It spurts out wacky catch phrases when it accomplishes its goals.
But unlike android movie stars, the El-E isn't designed to behave like a human. Rather, its focus is interacting with us. It simply grabs stuff you point at with a laser.

By MARK SHERMAN, Associated Press Writer Nov. 11, 2007
WASHINGTON - Supreme Court justices have track records that make predicting their rulings on many topics more than a mere guess. Then there is the issue of the Second Amendment and guns, about which the court has said virtually nothing in nearly 70 years.

In many parts of fire-weary San Diego County, yesterday seemed like a routine Saturday.
Grass was mowed; leaf blowers and chain saws buzzed. Dogs were walked, groceries bought. Duffers whacked golf balls; joggers huffed along. Some went out for the morning jolt of caffeine.
“Everyone just wants to feel good again,” said eyebrow artist Alexis... [Read More]

The girl, now 7, used to come home from day care with the sniffles. “She'd wake up in the middle of the night and we’d mix the medicine with some juice,” says Eshelman, 41, of Bloomfield, N.J. “She would then... [Read More]
