Hillary Clinton BenghaziAnd DailyKos tried to get in on the game: “The FBI investigation of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has entered a new phase. Direct evidence of a cover up has been discovered in her emails.  One member of Clinton’s inner circle, her former hair dresser Patricia Smith, has been granted immunity to testify before the grand jury, where it has been reported by confidential sources, that she will corroborate email evidence that Hillary Clinton’s true hair color is grey, and that, under direct orders from Secretary Clinton, she had been coloring it for years.”

Sony announces the first ghost-catching device, the Proton Pack: “The Proton Pack™ will be the first of its kind to capture ectoplasmic matter. The Proton Pack™ is equipped with a state-of-the-art, miniaturized superconducting synchrotron, which accelerates injected protons from a hydrogen plasma cell. Superconducting temperatures are maintained by a liquid helium reservoir, and an active cryocooler ensures that operational time vastly exceeds that available from a cryogen dewar alone. Adaptive beam-steering technology guides the proton beam to an ergonomic wand, which doubles as a beam-halo tuning cavity to provide maximum down-range accuracy. The backpack form factor allows built-in psychokinetic grounding to the user’s spinal column, eliminating spectral noise feedback loops.”
