Ever get bored of talking about the weather? Wished you could find some inspiration to conclude your science fiction novel? Here is my Top 7 conspiracy web sites, in no particular order, but perhaps influenced by the amount of time I have spent on them in the last year. In the end I didn’t lose my mind. Actually I learned to discern a bit better. If you decide to surf on the following sites be aware
Above Top Secret . com
The reference, the talkers, the authority, the mainstream, the avatars, the stage, the secret room for elite members, the three amigos - This site has it all. Beware; there is a lot of crazy information on this site.
God Like Productions . com
The most free-for-all forum on the Internet. You might find a needle in this immense haystack. Some of these post titles truly make you wonder about people's sanity.
Stop Lying .ca
This site claims to be exposing some massive conspiracy against the populace. As with everything mentioned in this site, I suggest reading, as the expression goes, with a grain of salt.
Unexplainable . net
Many categories, many articles ranging from astral projection, spirit, telepathy etc. It's probably unexplainable for a reason.
India Daily . com
You’ll begin to think the articles posted in the technology section are from robots that are from outer space. Certainly not from the west, as it’s name implies! Most of the articles revolve around 2012, a scientific approach towards extra and interplanetary civilizations, quantum states, advanced technologies, the works. They call themselves a daily?
Free Press International
A popular one. Usually the article consists of a short sentence. Minimalist journalism trying to impact.
V-Logging The Apocalypse
What’s in a name? Truly this site intends to make the reader feel like the end of the world is right next-door. The categorized videos send shivers down your spine. Just kidding.
Enjoy!
Do Canadians drink too much of the same beer?
There are hundreds of different beers available in Canada. Yet, somehow I keep hearing the same beers ordered over and over at local bars. An easy top 5 would look like this:
1. Alexander Keith’s
2. Labatt Blue
3. Molson Canadian
4. Sleeman Etc
5. Moosehead
An honorable mention could go to Heineken, Budweiser or Carling. But do we really know what is going on in Canada’s beer industry? We seem to think it’s still the same old blue vs. red fight going on between Labatt and Molson. But an interesting publication on EuroMonitor reads:
In that perspective, Canadian beer buyers are buying a lot beer (8.4 Billions worth in 2005) but mostly from foreign breweries. Sleeman’s alone holds a near 90% market share in Ontario through the province’s LCBO. They say the clear bottles let the sun shine through. It’s obvious beer drinkers love their beer, and get used to their favorites, but it’s also true that variety is the spice of life.
So when was the last time you had an Ice Beer? Salivating no? Did you know Budweiser is made with a little rice? Perhaps we need to give a little helping hand to our local industry by acquiring a little bit more knowledge on the origins and the variety of beers available. Know thy beers. Try local breweries, or make your own brew!

With the buyout of Sleeman’s in 2006, Canada’s beer production is firmly in the hands of foreign multinationals. By the end of 2006, nearly 90% of beer sales was from non-domestic producers. This has resulted in a distinct decline in made-in-Canada products in the mass market, and a stronger emphasis on foreign, world-spanning brands, such as Stella Artois, Heineken, Budweiser, Brahma and Coors Light. Canadians appear to be thoroughly unconcerned about the decline of the home-grown brewing industry, and have even pushed US brews Budweiser and Coors Light to the top of the sales chart. Perhaps as a reaction to this, and due to beneficial legislation, made-in-Canada beers have been rising in sales in the premium segment, and although sales are limited, consumers are growing more appreciative of microbrews and local beers.

Hancock: Alcohol makes you fly, so redeem yourself and save Mary
In top stories today, Will Smith is Hancock. He’s unhappy, but probably due to the hangovers he gets from drinking hard liquor all movie long.
Blockbusters featuring an alcoholic superhero are hard to come by. And I always loved Will Smith movies. With that said, I was really anxious to see Hancock, particularly since his remarkable performance as Fresh Prince in I Am Legend. This time around, Will Smith incarnates a depressed Fresh Prince with superpowers such as invincibility and the ability to fly like Superman. Or in Hancock’s sarcastic tone: Some hanging wires and a good camera. Finally an ungreatful Superman?
Here is a plot exerpt from Wikipedia:
Very interesting stuff indeed! He’s a cool drunk superhero, not to be confused with James Lahey, a drunk cop in The Trailor Park Boys. They both drink on screen, but only one saves lives. See Will Smith talk about drunk superheroes at BlinkX.
His only weekness is no surprise: A beautiful woman. Oh how I relate. Exept for the drinking… and the Superhero. Thank you Will Smith, Vincent Ngo, Perter Berg! Keep the superhero movies coming!

Later that night, while Ray sleeps after passing out from drinking too much, Hancock discovers that Mary too has super powers. Mary reveals that they are members of an ancient race and are at least 3000 years old. The race eventually died out because of their weakness which causes its members to lose their powers when in close proximity to one another. Members of this race were created in pairs, and are inevitably drawn towards each other; she is Hancock's "other half".
Very interesting stuff indeed! He’s a cool drunk superhero, not to be confused with James Lahey, a drunk cop in The Trailor Park Boys. They both drink on screen, but only one saves lives. See Will Smith talk about drunk superheroes at BlinkX.
