Apollo 14 astronaut claims aliens HAVE made contact - but it has been covered up for 60 years

Aliens have contacted humans several times but governments have hidden the truth for 60 years, the sixth man to walk on the moon has claimed.

Apollo 14 astronaut Dr Edgar Mitchell, said he was aware of many UFO visits to Earth during his career with NASA but each one was covered up.

Huh.

Officials from NASA, however, were quick to play the comments down.

In a statement, a spokesman said: "NASA does not track UFOs. NASA is not involved in any sort of cover up about alien life on this planet or anywhere in the universe.

'Dr Mitchell is a great American, but we do not share his opinions on this issue.'

Oh well.

eta: If this is true and he was briefed on this, it would have been nice if he had some interesting or useful info. Like, how do their starships work? Do they believe in God? Who will win the next Super Bowl?

I think I'd have an easier time believing aliens have been contacting humans than believing multiple governments covering it up for sixty years.

So cakewrecks didn't have this one: [link] but it should have. A toilet cake is just wrong wrong wrong.

In other news, I'm at Starbucks. They have a sorbetto drink which has pinkberry "yogurt" (appropriate use of quotation marks since pinkberry yogurt is not yogurt) I got sucked into trying it. Three sips and I'm enh on it. But it's not at all the local Starbucks. Has anyone else encountered such a thing?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Inventing the stop sign

Brilliant. (The "for internal use only" at the end sealed it for me.)

Planet of the Apes - it has begun....

Chimp Steals Gun From Zookeeper In Japan

A chimp in Japan escaped the sweltering confines of his cage, and a zookeeper with a tranquilizer gun proved no match for this feisty animal. The zookeeper can be seen peeking his head and rifle over the ledge of the roof on which the chimp was resting before quickly crouching down, sensing the chimp had noticed him. The chimp pounced on the ledge, grabbing the barrel of the zookeeper's tranquilizer gun and snatching it away, leaving the poor human defenseless.

Score one for the apes.

The score quickly turned even, though, when all it took to subdue the chimp was the promise of banana.

There's a video....
