POPSNext They Will Be Singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Weiner" You see, according to their plan I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think; I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech and freedom of choice. I'm the kind of guy likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder - "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecued ribs with the side order of gravy fries?" I WANT high cholesterol. I wanna eat bacon and butter and BUCKETS of cheese, okay? I want to smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section. I want to run through the streets naked with green Jell-o all over my body reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly might feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiener".

POPSLet's Do The Time Warp Again! I really doubt it will have the artistic value of the original. The clip mentions the midnight showings, Milwaukee's Oriental Theater has the longest running midnight show history anywhere. I'm sure it will survive MTV.

POPSK2 -Mount Everest's Deadly Sister: "A Tale of Chaos & Survival" At least nine climbers were reported dead Sunday on K2, the world’s second-highest mountain, after an avalanche struck them on a steep gully at a height of about 27,000 feet, just below the summit, mountaineering officials said. For two months, the New York Times reported yesterday, dozens of mountaineers had huddled at camps below the peak, acclimating to the thin air, practicing their ascent and waiting, waiting, for the moment. The final push began in the dark hours after midnight on Aug. 1. Members of at least five expeditions — and perhaps as many as nine — "began the last leg of their climb to conquer Mount Everest’s slightly shorter but far more dangerous sister, K2, its peak towering, glistening and pyramidlike above them, laden with snow from recent storms."

POPSPlaying with drugs for "Mind Control" LSD, radiation, and electroshock all ended up as dead ends in the MKULTRA program's quest for mind control. Still, the search for ways to penetrate minds continues. Recent studies suggest that noninvasive brain scans, taken with a functional MRI (fMRI), make the mind more transparent. Private companies tout fMRI as an improved lie detector, and the government has taken notice. Programs funded by the Department of Defense have looked into the feasibility of fMRI research.

POPSBus narrowly escapes Sea to Sky rock slide "Police are searching through the rock-slide scene on the highway that connects Vancouver to Whistler with dogs to make sure no one is trapped. "There are police dogs on the site, but there is no way of knowing if there is anybody trapped there," Squamish RCMP Cpl. Dave Ritchie said. "We're monitoring for any people reported overdue," he said. "We've done coast guard and air patrols at the edge of the debris and the water. We're hopeful there isn't anybody trapped in there.""

POPSSupermarkets Throwing Away 2 Million Tons Of Food A Year We visited a dozen stores over several nights last week to check what was being thrown away and discovered hundreds of pounds worth of food dumped. At a Sainsbury’s superstore next to the Dome in Greenwich, South East London – the chain’s flagship “environmentally-friendly” shop with its own wind turbines – staff said it was standard practice to throw away food before its sell-by date. And they’re not even allowed to take it home. One said: “Someone just stands there and throws it into the skip. We wish we could buy it – but we’re not allowed.” Pointing to meat on the “reduced” shelf, he added: “Come midnight, anything that hasn’t been sold will get taken off the shelf... if it’s out of date it will be logged on the computer, put against our losses, then in the skip.” Four-pint bottles of milk with nine days still to run had been thrown out, along with nine cans of cola with a date stamp of April 2009.
