The Answer is “No”

It’s mildly amusing how the global media keeps trying to push the “conference on peace” that will be missing the only party whose opinion matters if peace is going to be obtained. But China isn’t having any of it, if you understand Chinese diplomacy-speak: AFP: Yesterday German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and President Xi Jinping discussed […]

Did you know that the concept of tablets was actually dreamt up by the creators of the iconic movie “2001: A Space Odyssey”? Yep, you heard that right! During a scene where astronauts are munching on their breakfast, they’re casually flipping through the news on sleek, black, rectangular devices with big screens. The film’s visionaries imagined these as the “newspapers” of the future.

Fast forward a few decades, and during the heated patent wars between Apple and Samsung, the latter whipped out stills from “2001: A Space Odyssey” as proof that Apple wasn’t the first to dream up the tablet’s design. However, the judge wasn’t buying it as a legitimate argument.

But as is often the case with top-notch sci-fi, it’s entirely possible that the tablet-newspapers from the movie inspired the real tech wizards to create what would eventually become the tablets we can’t live without today.

And guess what? Today marks the 56th anniversary of the film’s premiere!

""We found an association between broadly defined cat ownership and increased odds of developing schizophrenia-related disorders," explained psychiatrist John McGrath and fellow researchers, all from the Queensland Centre for Mental Health Research, in their study published last December.

"This idea that cat ownership could be linked to schizophrenia risk was proposed in a 1995 study, with exposure to a parasite called Toxoplasma gondii suggested as a cause. But the research so far has put forth mixed conclusions."

"When he was hired at Virginia City’s newspaper in 1862, Samuel Clemens, aka Mark Twain, had already gone through the rites of initiation in Angel’s Camp in California. It was there, at an ECV meeting, that he heard the tale he would turn into his 1865 short story The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County—or so the legend goes."

"Keirans stole the identity of William Woods, 55, in 1988 when the pair worked together on a hotdog stand in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

"He began to live under his name, taking out loans, getting married and starting a successful career in IT.

"Woods discovered the fraud 30 years later and tried to reclaim his identity but authorities did not believe him, and he was locked up and sent to a mental hospital for two years."

"The real Woods was arrested and charged with identity theft and false impersonation, but when he continued to insist he was the real Woods, a judge ruled in February 2020 that he was not mentally competent to stand trial.

"He was sent to a mental hospital in California where he was medicated and confined.

"In March 2021, Woods pleaded no contest to the identity theft charges, meaning he accepted the conviction but did not admit guilt, and was sentenced to two years in jail.

"He was given credit for the two years he had already spent in county jail and hospital and was released under orders to stop using the name William Woods.

"He did not stop and continued to attempt to regain his identity, reaching out to police and financial institutions.

"Eventually he managed to find out where Keirans was working and in January 2023 he contacted the hospital's security department.

"The hospital referred his complaint to the University of Iowa Police Department, where Detective Ian Mallory opened an investigation.

"Mallory found Woods' biological father and tested his DNA against Woods' and Keirans'.

"The DNA proved Woods was who he said he was and Keirans was a fraud."
