— If you haven’t heard, the Sci Fi channel has been re-branded Syfy; the old name was felt to be too limiting and geeky, conjuring up images of aliens, space ships, and ray guns.–Well, what’s wrong with them?!–Add mummies, the living dead, mysterious ancient civilizations, cryptids, and I’d never tune anywhere else!
Anyways, Warehouse 13, kind of a hybrid of X-Files and Raiders of the Lost Ark, debuted on Syfy, and just might work with Saul Rubinek supervising a top-secret government storage facility in South Dakota that looks remarkably like the one glimpsed by Indy at the end of Raiders; fantastic and supernatural objects abound here, with Pandora’s box several rows over. The gadgets alone have been described at “catnip for nerds;” for example, there’s a wonderful ray gun designed by none less than Nikola Tesla. Throw in Eddie McClintock and Joanne Kelly as stereotypically mismatched Secret Service agents in the Mulder/Scully tradition, and this fox might bat the catnip around a bit even if it seems familiar…
— In his planned comeback concerts in London that now we’ll never see, Michael Jackson reportedly planned a nature theme which heavily involved live creatures; for his entrance, there was talk of Michael riding an African elephant while panthers were led on gold chains and parrots and other birds flew behind him. PETA and other animal rights groups understandably filed protests with officials, pointing out that “Animals don’t want to perform stupid tricks on a stage surrounded by screaming people, bright lights, and stage explosions.” Jackson subsequently announced that he would not be using any live animals in his concert series.

— Disney stuff is usually too mainstream and white breadish for me, but I have to love Perry the Platypus, pet of the title characters in the Disney Channel show, Phineas and Ferb. Unknown to his owners, Perry (aka “Agent P”) lives a parallel life as a secret agent for The Agency, a government organization of animal spies. Pretending to be a mindless house pet, Perry is secretly a fedora-wearing secret agent who enjoys romance soap operas and potato chips.

— Warehouse 13 debuts on the Sci Fi channel July 7th, the story of an underground government storage facility hid away in the Badlands of South Dakota that houses every conceivable kind of strange and harmful device both modern and ancient. Featured are two secret service agents with totally different styles of investigation…
— Featured on UFO Hunters, the Starchild Skull is an unusually elongated and flat skull further distinguished by extremely shallow eye sockets and a total lack of front sinuses, morphology which cannot be accounted for by any known combination of deformities. The skull appears similar to what one might anticipate from the “Greys,” the classic alien stereotype. UFO afficionados speculate that the skull may be that of a Grey alien/human hybrid.
