POPSI'm not sayin', but I'm just sayin'...The Number is 666 The Number of the Beast is a concept from the Book of Revelation of the New Testament of the Christian Bible. The Number is 666 in modern biblical text, although 616 and 665 appear instead in at least one ancient source. This topic is a source of contention for many church groups and theologians. Some scholars contend that the number is a code for the Roman Emperor Nero. Mark of commerce Futurist Christian eschatology typically holds that the Mark of the Beast is one way in which the Antichrist will exercise power over the Earth during the period of Tribulation, because of the prophetic statement in Revelation 13:16-17 that "the Beast" (θηριον) will require all people to receive the mark (χάραγμα "branded mark or character) in their right hands or foreheads in order to buy or sell, making survival for those on the run much more difficult. http://www.answers.com/Apocalyptic%20Number

POPSObama Campaign Offended By McCain's Pejorative Pronouns
But Obama's not offended by William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn! "The Weathermen" as Dohrn's faction was now called, began a series of direct actions against the American government. As a result of an accidental explosion during the preparation of a bomb destined for a US military dance hall, which killed several members of the group, Dohrn and other Weathermen went underground. For half a decade, Dohrn and the Underground carried out clandestine actions, largely bombings, against the U.S. government. She is well-known as the signatory on the Weather Underground's "Declaration of a State of War," which formally declared war on the U.S. Government. Dohrn and others also co-wrote and published the subversive manifesto Prairie Fire, and participated in a covertly filmed propaganda documentary, Underground. Dohrn later married former Weather Underground leader Bill Ayers. http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery?s=Bernardine+Dohrn&go_button.x=33&go_button.y=7

POPSSpider helps track disease outbreaks A 'Spider' being "The Web-walking part of a search engine that collects pages for indexing in the search engine's database. Also called a bot.":answers.com I thought I'd better put that in, because when I first saw the title, I had visions of biologists, out in the wild, catching spiders to be tested for disease. Now if you want to find out about disease outbreaks, you can just google them before the WHO Centres of disease control have any idea. Maybe WHO should google not yahoo.

POPSDoD Lab Helps To Resolve Century-Old Russian Mystery But the remains of two children, a boy and a girl, were still missing, opening the door for some to speculate that maybe there were survivors of the execution. Now, the lab has again helped the Russian government by identifying the remains of those two children, found last year in a shallow grave about 70 feet from the larger gravesite. “There’s no doubt that nobody escaped,” said Dr. Michael Coble, the research section chief for the lab. “We can conclude here that based on this evidence, we have the two missing children.” “These types of cases are so challenging that we can apply what we learn in those cases to the current-day effort of mission,” Finelli said. “We test ourselves with these very hard cases, and then we can apply it to the casework to account for our fallen. So it’s always a little bit of a selfish motivation.” http://www.answers.com/nicholas II

POPSOrigami: 15 Most Amazing Paper Sculptures History: Origami originated in China as "Zhe Zhi" in the first or second century AD, and it reached Japan in the sixth century. Over the next few hundred years, origami became familiar in many aspects of Japanese culture. By the Heian period of Japanese history, origami was a significant aspect of Japanese ceremony. Samurai warriors would exchange gifts adorned with noshi, a sort of good luck token made of folded strips of paper. Origami butterflies were used during the celebration of Shinto weddings to represent the bride and groom. In the 1960's the art of origami began to spread out, first with modular origami and then with various movements developing, including the kirikomi. http://www.answers.com/topic/origami?cat=technology thanks to alanocu and einbar>

POPSWhy Use Compact Fluorescent Bulbs? This is US information. But, it is applicable anywhere! An emerging barrier to use of CFLs is disposal. Proper disposal is important for sure. But disposal issues/confusion shouldn't deter us from charging ahead to replace incandescents! Even improper disposal is better than the alterative of using incandescent bulbs from the perspective of overall mercury pollution! Here's why! Coal power plants are the single largest source of mercury emissions into the environment. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), (when coal power is used) the mercury released from powering an incandescent bulb for five years exceeds the sum of the mercury released by powering a comparably luminous CFL for the same period and the mercury contained in the lamp.

POPSAnswers.com buys Dictionary.com Answers.com the craptastic dictionary encyclopedia website with its worthless and needlessly complicated firefox extension has purchased dictionary.com. Dictionary.com has a nice simple interface (for now) but be ready because I am sure they'll start adding ads and tons of flash-based crap (all in the name of BRANDING). Yet another good smaller company gets swallowed by the corporate machine and turned into rubbish.

POPS...got answers? I had Answers installed on my computer and didn't like it. Later, I gave the extension a try. Didn't like it. Well I thought I'd give the new version of the extension a shot and, Lord have mercy my people, this thing smokes! Incredibly fast and intuitive. You don't even need to highlight. I don't know how it does it but, for instance, I clicked on Earth Wind and Fire--just like this, complete, not EWF, and BOOM! chackalackalacka, there's the little popup with info, links, and pictures. You got to check this thing.
