10. Planetary Alignment Decreases Gravity



In 1976 the British astronomer Patrick Moore announced on BBC Radio 2 that at 9:47 AM a once-in-a-lifetime astronomical event was going to occur that listeners could experience in their very own homes.  The planet Pluto would pass behind Jupiter, temporarily causing a gravitational alignment that would counteract and lessen the Earth’s own gravity.  Moore told his listeners that if they jumped in the air at the exact moment that this planetary alignment occurred, they would experience a strange floating sensation.  When 9:47 AM arrived, BBC2 began to receive hundreds of phone calls from listeners claiming to have felt the sensation.  One woman even reported that she and her eleven friends had risen from their chairs and floated around the room.

11. UFO Lands in London



On March 31, 1989 thousands of motorists driving on the highway outside London looked up in the air to see a glowing flying saucer descending on their city.  Many of them pulled to the side of the road to watch the bizarre craft float through the air.  The saucer finally landed in a field on the outskirts of London where local residents immediately called the police to warn them of an alien invasion.  Soon the police arrived on the scene, and one brave officer approached the craft with his truncheon extended before him.  When a door in the craft popped open, and a small, silver-suited figure emerged, the policeman ran in the opposite direction.  The saucer turned out to be a hot-air balloon that had been specially built to look like a UFO by Richard Branson, the 36-year-old chairman of Virgin Records.  The stunt combined his passion for ballooning with his love of pranks.  His plan was to land the craft in London’s Hyde Park on April 1.  Unfortunately, the wind blew him off course, and he was forced to land a day early in the wrong location.

12. Kremvax



In 1984, back in the Stone Age of the internet, a message was distributed to the members of Usenet (the online messaging community that was one of the first forms the internet took) announcing that the Soviet Union was joining Usenet.  This was quite a shock to many, since most assumed that cold war security concerns would have prevented such a link-up.  The message purported to come from Konstantin Chernenko (from the address chernenko@kremvax.UUCP) who explained that the Soviet Union wanted to join the network in order to “have a means of having an open discussion forum with the American and European people.”  The message created a flood of responses.  Two weeks later its true author, a European man named Piet Beertema, revealed that it was a hoax.  This is believed to be the first hoax on the internet.  Six years later, when Moscow really did link up to the internet, it adopted the domain name ‘kremvax’ in honor of the hoax.

13. The Predictions of Isaac Bickerstaff



In February 1708 a previously unknown London astrologer named Isaac Bickerstaff published an almanac in which he predicted the death by fever of the famous rival astrologer John Partridge.  According to Bickerstaff, Partridge would die on March 29 of that year.  Partridge indignantly denied the prediction, but on March 30 Bickerstaff released a pamphlet announcing that he had been correct: Partridge was dead.  It took a day for the news to settle in, but soon everyone had heard of the astrologer’s demise.  On April 1, April Fool’s Day, Partridge was woken by a sexton outside his window who wanted to know if there were any orders for his funeral sermon.  Then, as Partridge walked down the street, people stared at him as if they were looking at a ghost or stopped to tell him that he looked exactly like someone they knew who was dead.  As hard as he tried, Partridge couldn’t convince people that he wasn’t dead.  Bickerstaff, it turned out, was a pseudonym for the great satirist Jonathan Swift.  His prognosticatory practical joke upon Partridge worked so well that the astrologer finally was forced to stop publishing his almanacs, because he couldn’t shake his reputation as the man whose death had been foretold.

Porky Bickar (whose mother was obviously a practical joker if that is his real name) flew hundreds of old tires into the mouth of Mount Edgecombe and then lit them on fire...

14. The Eruption of Mount Edgecumbe



In 1974 residents of Sitka, Alaska were alarmed when the long-dormant volcano neighboring them, Mount Edgecumbe, suddenly began to belch out billows of black smoke.  People spilled out of their homes onto the streets to gaze up at the volcano, terrified that it was active again and might soon erupt.  Luckily it turned out that man, not nature, was responsible for the smoke.  A local practical joker named Porky Bickar had flown hundreds of old tires into the volcano’s crater and then lit them on fire, all in a (successful) attempt to fool the city dwellers into believing that the volcano was stirring to life.  According to local legend, when Mount St. Helens erupted six years later, a Sitka resident wrote to Bickar to tell him, “This time you’ve gone too far!”

15. The Case of the Interfering Brassieres



In 1982 the Daily Mail reported that a local manufacturer had sold 10,000 “rogue bras” that were causing a unique and unprecedented problem, not to the wearers but to the public at large.  Apparently the support wire in these bras had been made out of a kind of copper originally designed for use in fire alarms.  When this copper came into contact with nylon and body heat, it produced static electricity which, in turn, was interfering with local television and radio broadcasts.  The chief engineer of British Telecom, upon reading the article, immediately ordered that all his female laboratory employees disclose what type of bra they were wearing.

In Spain and Ibero-America, an equivalent date is December 28, Christian day of celebration of the Massacre of the Innocents.  The Christian celebration is a holiday in its own right, a religious one, but the tradition of pranks is not, though the latter is observed yearly.  After somebody plays a joke or a prank on somebody else, the joker usually cries out, in some regions of Ibero-America: "Inocente palomita que te dejaste engañar" ("You innocent little dove that let yourself be fooled").  In Spain, it is common to say just "Inocente!" ("Innocent!").  Nevertheless, in the Spanish island of Menorca, "Dia d'enganyar" ("Fooling day") is celebrated on April 1 because Menorca was a British possession during part of the 18th century.

Other prank days in the world

Iranians play jokes on each other on the 13th day of the Persian new year (Norouz), which falls on April 1 or April 2.  This day, celebrated as far back as 536 BC, is called Sizdah Bedar and is the oldest prank-tradition in the world still alive today; this fact has led many to believe that April Fools' Day has its origins in this tradition.

Observances Around the World

April Fools' Day is observed throughout the Western world.  Practices include sending someone on a "fool's errand," looking for things that don't exist; playing pranks; and trying to get people to believe ridiculous things.

The French call April 1 Poisson d'Avril, or "April Fish."  French children sometimes tape a picture of a fish on the back of their schoolmates, crying "Poisson d'Avril" when the prank is discovered.

Spring Fever

It is worth noting that many different cultures have had days of foolishness around the start of April, give or take a couple of weeks.  The Romans had a festival named Hilaria on March 25, rejoicing in the resurrection of Attis.  The Hindu calendar has Holi, and the Jewish calendar has Purim.  Perhaps there's something about the time of year, with its turn from winter to spring, that lends itself to lighthearted celebrations.

Constantine and Kugel

Another explanation of the origins of April Fools' Day was provided by Joseph Boskin, a professor of history at Boston University.  He explained that the practice began during the reign of Constantine, when a group of court jesters and fools told the Roman emperor that they could do a better job of running the empire.  Constantine, amused, allowed a jester named Kugel to be king for one day.  Kugel passed an edict calling for absurdity on that day, and the custom became an annual event.

"In a way," explained Prof. Boskin, "it was a very serious day.  In those times fools were really wise men.  It was the role of jesters to put things in perspective with humor."

This explanation was brought to the public's attention in an Associated Press article printed by many newspapers in 1983.  There was only one catch: Boskin made the whole thing up.  It took a couple of weeks for the AP to realize that they'd been victims of an April Fools' joke themselves.

Problems With This Explanation

There are at least two difficulties with this explanation.  The first is that it doesn't fully account for the spread of April Fools' Day to other European countries.  The Gregorian calendar was not adopted by England until 1752, for example, but April Fools' Day was already well established there by that point.  The second is that we have no direct historical evidence for this explanation, only conjecture, and that conjecture appears to have been made more recently.

New Year's Day Moves

Ancient cultures, including those of the Romans and Hindus, celebrated New Year's Day on or around April 1.  It closely follows the vernal equinox (March 20th or March 21st.)  In medieval times, much of Europe celebrated March 25, the Feast of Annunciation, as the beginning of the new year.

In 1582, Pope Gregory XIII ordered a new calendar (the Gregorian Calendar) to replace the old Julian Calendar. The new calendar called for New Year's Day to be celebrated Jan. 1.  That year, France adopted the reformed calendar and shifted New Year's day to Jan. 1.  According to a popular explanation, many people either refused to accept the new date, or did not learn about it, and continued to celebrate New Year's Day on April 1.  Other people began to make fun of these traditionalists, sending them on "fool's errands" or trying to trick them into believing something false.  Eventually, the practice spread throughout Europe.

April Fools' Day: Origin and History
The uncertain origins of a foolish day

by David Johnson and Shmuel Ross

April Fools' Day, sometimes called All Fools' Day, is one of the most lighthearted days of the year.  Its origins are uncertain.  Some see it as a celebration related to the turn of the seasons, while others believe it stems from the adoption of a new calendar.

#34626

that's him; jon santos impersonating himself.
#34627
But these are samples of Jon on paper â€" and don’t even capture half the adlibs, the brilliant spur-of-the-moment remarks that add tons to the character that he is at the moment.  We don’t see the costume, the make-up nor hear the voice and the delivery that keep audiences laughing for 30 or so minutes non-stop.  As they say, everybody in the Philippines is a comedian.  But you cannot count on yours hands and successful ones on TV and live stage; but with only one finger, the true and gifted impersonator â€" and that is Jon.
#34628
Jon has been impersonating and imitating people for nineteen (19) years now.  His material thrives on who’s hot at the moment, but some of his best-loved characters are the classics: “Ate Vi”, “Basana Roces”, “Armida Sigyon-Makareyna”, “Sherap Espada (& his wife, “Sen. Lhoy”) Shawie”, “Bro. Mike Volare”, “Tita Kory”, “Sen. Juan Flavor”, “Sen. Meeryam”, “Pres. Gloring”, “Krissy Anino”, “Ara”, “Joyce”, “Mawee Tailor-ing” and the latest addition to the repertoire, “Okrah Weenfree”.
#34629
from http://www.jonsantos.com/ (naturally) ;D...

In the Philippine scene, nobody is anybody until he or she is done by Jon Santos.  Having perfected the art of costume and make-up, Jon becomes the person; a better version in fact, because it’s a much, much funnier version.  Even bureaucratic bores who somehow land on the news become hilarious, endearing creatures in the hands of Jon Santos (Actually, in the hands, face, body and voice of Jon).  So just think what a riot he creates with the already colorful or absurd……

Lestari said foreign maids should not be treated any differently to other foreigners who flock to the semi-autonomous former British colony to find work as lawyers, bankers, accountants and managers.

why, indeed, must they be treated differently when theirs are also careers?  from the looks of it, this is truly discriminatory.  but come on, even in our own country, foreign investors and expat executives are treated differently, even compared to the treatment of our very own tired ofws.  let's not kid ourselves.

Editor nearly arrested in Bohol, says NUJP

By Jamie Marie Elona
INQUIRER.net
Wednesday, March 28th, 2012


MANILA, Philippinesâ€"A Bohol-based newspaper associate editor almost got arrested despite a revoked arrest warrant over the weekend, a media group said Wednesday.

In a statement, the National Union of Journalists of the Philippines (NUJP) said Alfredo Amora, associate editor and columnist of Bohol Standard and member of Bohol Tri-Media Association, was in a funeral mass for his aunt at the Our Lady of Consolation church in Guindulman, Bohol last Saturday when arresting officers came to get him.

Amora was being arrested for a second libel case filed against him by Guindulman Mayor Fe Añana-Piezas, the NUJP said.

“I went out and had to explain it was my aunt’s funeral that day. I was able to persuade the police officers not to arrest me,” NUJP quoted Amora as saying, adding that he promised to show up at the Guindulman police station the next day.

When he arrived at the police station, Amora presented a copy of a court order dated February 21 which recalled a warrant of arrest issued by Judge Pablo Magdoza of Branch 48 of the Tagbiliran Regional Trial Court dated February 8, the NUJP said.

The group said the order stated that Amora had posted the P10,000 bail for his temporary freedom while the libel case is pending in court.

Local police confirmed of the attempt to arrest Amora through the February 8 warrant. But officer on duty Senior Police Officer 3 Bogs Janiola was quoted as saying that they only got confused in issuing the said warrant.

“A warrant of arrest should be returned to the issuing court 10 days from the date received, informing the court whether or not the subject was found and the warrant was served,” the NUJP said.

The second libel case reportedly stemmed from Amora’s column implicating the Piezas in a lending business reportedly operating inside the municipal hall, the NUJP said.

Amora told the NUJP that the first complaint filed in January 2011 against him was based on his columns about overpriced purchases by the town government as noted by the Commission on Audit.

Inspire others

Tinio said that Pacquiao as a public official and role model should set the proper example and break the stereotype that the rich and powerful can evade the payment of proper taxes with impunity.

“If he feels he’s being unfairly targeted, then he should pursue it through the proper channels,” Tinio said.

Palatino said Pacquiao “shouldn’t bully, intimidate, threaten a coworker in government” and instead “inspire others not to abuse fame, wealth, and power to receive special treatment from the bureaucracy.”

Rather than ask the President to fire Lozares, Palatino said Pacquiao should just come up with “a TKO evidence” and resolve his problems like any ordinary citizen.

Bello said Pacquiao’s call for Mr. Aquino to step in his case was unjustified.

“Congressman Pacquiao, for whom I have a great deal of respect, should just comply with the BIR’s requests. If he’s telling the truth about his taxes, he has nothing to worry about,” the Akbayan lawmaker said.

Pacquiao’s tax problems are the latest colorful event in his career, which he hinted last week was nearing an end because God had told him to retire soon.

No support from House

In Congress, the eight-time world champion might be well-loved but he did not get any support from other lawmakers in his gripes against the BIR.

Speaker Feliciano Belmonte Jr. and Representatives Antonio Tinio (ACT Teachers), Raymund Palatino (Kabataan) and Walden Bello (Akbayan) have advised Pacquiao against asking President Aquino to fire a BIR official for harassing him on his tax payments.

“I think you’re correct,” Belmonte said when asked if Pacquiao should just use normal channels rather than seek presidential intervention in resolving his beef with lawyer Rozil Lozares, the BIR Central Mindanao director.

Singled out

The Sarangani lawmaker said the tax suit filed against him by the BIR had cost him millions of dollars in ad money.

“Why the BIR singled me out smacks of bad faith designed to tarnish my reputation. In just one instance, the BIR has tarnished my name. I shall rise to the occasion and I shall fight this case until the last and final round. We will fight,” Pacquiao said in a press conference on Monday.

Asked if there could be malicious motives for the BIR’s regional office to harass Pacquiao, Purisima said he did not know but he expressed confidence that the office would not dare do so.

“He’s a national icon, a national symbol, a national pride [but] I think that just like any Filipino citizen, we should open our records when asked  by the bureau,” the finance secretary said.

Last year, the BIR issued Revenue Memorandum Order No. 3-2011 which said that the audit of lawyers, doctors, engineers, accountants and other taxpayers who rendered professional services would be prioritized.

Wealthiest House member

The BIR office in Central Mindanao has filed a complaint against Pacquiao for failure to submit complete tax records for 2010. If found guilty, Pacquiao could face up to two years in jail.

The boxer declared P1.13 billion in assets at the end of 2010 and no liabilities, making him the country’s wealthiest member of the House.

Forbes.com magazine estimated he spent $7 million in his election campaign in 2010 while also earning $35 million for his two fights against Joshua Clottey and Miguel Cotto.

Pacquiao’s lawyers have said the BIR director in Central Mindanao “railroaded” the tax charges.

Pacquiao maintained that he was not given enough time to comply with the BIR subpoena since it was given in the middle of his fight with Mexican Juan Manuel Marquez.

Pacman vs taxman: Pacquiao faces ‘knockout’ charges

By Gil C. Cabacungan, Ronnel W. Domingo
Philippine Daily Inquirer
Wednesday, March 28th, 2012


The taxman may yet deliver a knockout punch in its fight with boxing icon Manny Pacquiao, once the Bureau of Internal Revenue’s poster boy.

Finance Secretary Cesar V. Purisima on Tuesday said that the BIR was just doing its job. “No one is exempted from being investigated by the BIRâ€"even myself, they asked for my files,” he said.

“I don’t think the BIR will dare harass an eight-time world champion,” Purisima said, noting that most revenue officers are big fans of Pacquiao.

Speaking on the sidelines of a Philippine Investment Forum organized by Euromoney magazine in Makati, Purisima said that part of the process of auditing a taxpayer was asking for tax documents.

“We love and respect [Pacquiao] and we wish him the best,” the finance secretary said. “But at the same time we have a duty to make sure that we review everyone’s income tax return, and I don’t think Congressman Pacquiao should take this personally.”

A lawmaker advised Pacquiao to just “prepare a TKO evidence and consult law and finance” [experts] and resolve his problems like any ordinary citizen instead of enlisting the help of President Benigno Aquino III.

except for the general sense that the catholic church does not encourage this kind of yarn, i really don't know if the existence of these beings (save for the devil) is even acknowledged at all, theologically.  these may only be ancient myths passed on by tradition to keep children in line, for one. 

a priest told me though that demonology (demons being worse than aswangs) is no longer taught in seminaries, unlike in pre-vatican II times.  i can't imagine that there were such lessons in the old days.  more unimaginable are the reasons why these were scrapped. 

i wish fr chic would share his thoughts on this.

while the news is really funny, i will choose to err on the side of caution.  there will always be these so-called elementals (or negative energies, or whatever you call them) that can be destructive.  wa lang ko kasabot nganong naghisgot ning news bahin ug mga natakdan sa aswang.  sakit ba diay ning aswang, o condition, nga makatakod man? 

kun makadungog kog estorya nga ingon ani sa among dapit, mag-andam kog ako no?  wa lang ko kasabot unsa nang panumbol.

“Ang asawa kuno mahimong iring unya ang bana mahimong iro ug ang inahan mahimo sab nga pabo,” asoy pang Guzman.

mamiligro sa philippine animal welfare society (PAWS) ug People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) diay ang manghilabot ani nila.  masuko gyod ani si hubag kun ang pabo mahimong iyahang hiniktan nga manok. ;D

Si Nicomedes Gimenez, 47, taga barangay Lindogon, nga nahinabi sa Banat News misaysay nga nabiktima na siya sa maong ungo dihang kalit siyang gituok samtang nanihapon sulod sa ilang balay.

manuok diay ning aswang?  di kaha nahubog lang si nico unya ang iyang asawa nga nasuko niya ug nanuok sa kalagot, nahimong aswang sa iyang tinan-awan? ???
