POPS Tonight: The Leonid Meteor Shower The Leonids are famous because their meteor showers, or storms, can be, and have been in a few cases, among the most spectacular. Because of the superlative storm of 1833 and the recent developments in scientific thought the Leonids have had a major effect on the development of the scientific study of meteors which had previously been thought to be atmospheric phenomena. The meteor storm of 1833 was of truly superlative strength. One estimate is over one hundred thousand meteors an hour , but another, done as the storm abated, estimated in excess of two hundred thousand meteors an hour over the entire region of North America east of the Rocky Mountains. Other great Leonid storms were seen in 1866 and 1867. When the storms failed to return in 1899, it was generally thought that the dust had moved on and storms were a thing of the past. Then, in 1966 a spectacular storm was seen over the Americas.

POPSGroup asks God (and Saudi) to help with gas prices These idiots don't realize the root of the problem is not supply, it's our own choke point in not being able to refine enough in this country. And it all can be laid at the feet of liberals who have prevented the construction of new refineries and new exploration offshore and in ANWR.

POPSBelief-o-Matic This site asks you about your beliefs then takes a stab at figuring out what your religion is... I'm proud of my results - I looked long and hard to find a church that was "as close as possible to Judaism while still believing in Jesus." The results of this survey show that at least they understand that much about me :)

POPSBunnicula's First Magical Meatless Loaf To this recipe, I added 1/4 tsp. marjoram and reduced the salt. For the brown rice, I used short grain. This was the first loaf that I created using the Magical Loaf Studio, http://www.veganlunchbox.com/loaf_studio.html . It was not as firm as a meatloaf (it might firm up overnight though), but it smelled and tasted yummy.
