Wonder how many geeks try to find a local LUG and run into the other kind of LUG...

Actually, guns can be effectively used for self defense.

...since they have a habit of censoring just about everything under the sun.

The C stands for Censorship. After all of this, what's left to justify broadband? :)

A little googling reveals that couple a years ago one journalist tracked possible responsibility for the tiles down to one "verna sevrino", who he was ultimately unable to contact, even though he had an address in philadelphia.

google turns up a funeral home in philadelphia called "verna sevrino funeral home", hmmm what might a funeral home have to do with resurrecting people on mars?

more googling turns up philadelphia councilwoman Anna C. Verna, who is married to " husband, Severino Verna, a funeral director, were born and raised in South Philadelphia.".

And finally, everything you ever wanted to know about Anna C Verna is here I, for one, welcome our new neptune resurrectionist overlord.

"I first discovered one of these tiles when I moved to Cincinnati in 1998. Working in the Schmidt Building, I crossed Sixth and Walnut every day. At the time, I didn't think much of the tile, dismissing it as nothing more than typical street graffiti. It never occurred to me that the tile could be, as one Scientologist recently put it, "some graffiti from Mars."

It's in front of my office here in Cincinnati. In fact, the local alternative weekly ran an artical a few years ago.

Creepy.

Two years ago, a reporter found evidence that one James Morasco is behind the tiles.

I seem to remember reading more about the Morasco link somewhere, but it was so long ago I cant remember where. It was almost definately linked to on the snopes.com message board, but their search system is pretty bad.

. . .

Okay, I have no idea if they're any good. I just figured there had to be such a band, and found them with a quick search. I didn't even go to the trouble of listening to the MP3s they have posted. Someone give a listen and let me know, 'kay?
