Get Ross!

The sad thing is I don’t think he is trying to be funny

BERLIN, Germany (Reuters) — Hollywood actor Tom Cruise not only battles creatures from outer space in his latest film “War of the Worlds”, he also believes aliens exist, he told a German newspaper on Wednesday.

Asked in an interview with the tabloid daily Bild if he believed in aliens, Cruise said: “Yes, of course. Are you really so arrogant as to believe we are alone in this universe?

Of course he beleives in aliens, he has to, he’s a fucking scientologist, he thinks he is fighting XENU.

Is Tom crazy? Yes, but he is just speaking the retoric that he and many other Hollywood Jagoffs (John Travolta, Giovanni Ribisi, Juliette Lewis and many others) beleive.

Please take an hour (of your bosses time, since I know most of you read this at work) and explore the following sites. It’s fucking scary…

Scientology Kills

Operation Clambake

I saw these and immediately looked up prices to fly out to San Diego Comic Con, sadly I can’t figure spending the $380 to fly out there is worth it…

iChat 3.0 comes with a “Current iTunes Track” option in the status message list. However, for most Internet-savvy audiophiles, this format is backwards. The standard format is Artist – Track but iChat gives it as Track – Artist!

However, this is fixable. Here’s how:
Quit iChat.
In Terminal, enter this command: defaults write com.apple.iChatAgent iTunesMessageFormat -string ‘%Artist – %Track’.
Enter the command killall iChatAgent — this kills iChat’s background daemon.
Restart iChat, and choose the Current Track message option.
This formats the current tune as Artist – Track, the correct format.

When asked if he could be with someone at this stage in his life who doesn’t have an interest in the Church of Scientology — Holmes has said she’s embracing the religion — Cruise told interviewer Matt Lauer: “Scientology is something that you don’t understand. It’s like you could be a Christian and be a Scientologist.

“It is a religion. Because it’s dealing with the spirit. You as a spiritual being.” When Lauer mentioned Cruise’s earlier criticism of Brooke Shields for taking anti-depressants, Cruise told the “Today” show co-host he didn’t know what he was talking about.

“You don’t know the history of psychiatry. I do,” Cruise said.

The interview became more heated when Lauer, who said he knew people who had been helped by the attention-deficit disorder drug Ritalin, asked Cruise about the effects of the drug.

“Matt, Matt, you don’t even — you’re glib,” Cruise responded. “You don’t even know what Ritalin is. If you start talking about chemical imbalance, you have to evaluate and read the research papers on how they came up with these theories, Matt, OK. That’s what I’ve done.”
