Well the passing of 2009 is coming fast, with this passing it is traditional for people here on Earth to reflect on the things that occurred in the outgoing year Your current year in the Gregorian it is around 2010 years after some obscure event \u2013 give or take about three years on either side. (your monks never really agreed on the exact date.) Your current Islamic Year is 1429 AH. The date in the Jewish calendar is Tevet 15, 5770<\/p>\n
On my home planet of Marcab wich is the 12th planet orbiting the star you know as Eta Ursae Majoris (? UMa \/\u00a0? Ursae Majoris) \u2013\u00a0?? \u2013\u00a0??? \u2013 Alkaid, and sometimes Benetnasch. We celebrate a new year only once every 567 Earth years which makes our astronomical calendars rather cumbersome. Needless to say we went to a completely non-planetary motion standard.<\/p>\n
Whatever you call the year or whenever you come from (originally,) I hope you have a happy and productive new year.<\/p>\n
Last year was a time for reorganization at the Odd Empire. We have some new faces and some surprising old ones. We noted with great sadness the passing of Mac Tonnies, Mac; Mac represented a more balanced view into the paranormal than most of his contemporaries. He\u2019s EXACTLY what the Odd Empire WAS NOT designed for \u2013which is why we never riffed him. Mac, wherever you are; I didn\u2019t agree with you all the time but I respected your opinion as you respected mine. It\u2019s a pity that more people can\u2019t think like you and voice their opinions with a consistently civil and cheerful outlook on life.<\/p>\n
Now, onto the future, things to look out for at the Odd Empire;<\/p>\n
We have our Wiki site up and running and we are actively soliciting contributors. The subject of the Odd Empire (in case you don\u2019t already know) is riffing self important web page authors who think they know everything and pointing out some of their more obvious mistakes. Not only web pages, but podcasts, wiki pages and videos are all fair game. Also religious organizations, insane self published book authors, pseudo scientists, pro-conspiracy nutjobs, ghost hunters, Bigfoot \u2013or cripzoologists, cerealologists, UFOlogists, paranormalists and of course, Scientologists.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s not to say there is anything wrong with these people. We just like to point out to the world that they don\u2019t really know Jack about what they are writing about. (I can safely say that because I keep Jack locked up here at the Odd Empire. )<\/p>\n
So There it is! 2010 will be a significant year just like 2009 was. Remember – \u201cMerda taurorum animas conturbit\u201d e \u2013 \u201cExegi monumentum aere perennius\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cRes ipsa Loquitur\u201d<\/p>\n
