AMSTETTEN, Austria - The children locked in the basement never saw the light of day for years. A retired electrician has confessed to imprisoning his daughter for 24 years and fathering seven children with her in a windowless cell sealed by an electronic keyless-entry system, police said Monday.

One of the children died in infancy and was tossed into the furnace of what stunned Austrians have labeled a "house of horrors," officials said. The suspect owned the gray stone apartment building, lived there with his family, and rented the other units to relatives.

A little-known, tacked-on provision to the Patriot Act set aside money for what’s known as “infiltration marketing,” an insidious type of reverse-psychology propaganda. Aware that anti-drug campaigns were essentially worthless in the face of Hollywood’s “cool” depictions of drug use, the government decided to fund music and movies that would glorify drug use—the twist being that the youth of America would find the users so repulsively uncool, they wouldn’t want to imitate their behavior.

Lol!

A pair of sociologists have produced a piece of research in which they claim that graduate engineers are statistically over-represented among jihadi terrorists. They go on to suggest that engineers have a "terrorist mindset" making them likelier to turn jihadi than other kinds of people.

Are there any engineers on Memestreams?

n honor of Will Smith's apparently imminent conversion to Scientology, I present this link to the full text of Russell Miller's biography Bare-Faced Messiah: The True Story of L. Ron Hubbard. Those who have read The Gospel According to Science Fiction may have wondered why I didn't discuss Scientology, and the short answer is that I don't really have anything to say about it that Miller didn't say first. He details Hubbard's pathological lies about his life and the dubious ethics with which he ran his church, exploring both the wacky and the downright sinister tales spun by one of the greatest con men in history. One of my favorite bits is the story in chapter 14 in which Hubbard poses as a "revolutionary horticultural scientist," proving that plants can feel pain by hooking them up to an E-meter.

Be sure to also read "Suppressive Persons," which describes the Church's attempts to suppress Miller's book. The Church's tactics are the same now as then: they're rumored to be filing a $100 million lawsuit against St. Martin's Press, publishers of Andrew Morton's forthcoming Tom Cruise: An Unauthorized Biography, which claims that Cruise is one of the Church's top leaders).

Say what you will about Scientology. If nothing else, its the only way to keep bi-polar people being creative yet functional, which is still ahead of the field of medicine. If you're not bi-polar though, I'm really not sure why anyone else would want to be a scientologist.
