You've got a good point.

But gold melts at [/K]: 1337.33 [or 1064.18 °C (1947.52 °F)].

Gold boils at [/K]: 3129 [or 2856 °C (5173 °F)] (liquid range: 1791.67 K).

I don't think that lawyers get asbestos sacks to carry their treasures with them. Hey, that may make an ironic gag gift since they can't be scene with such a sue-happy product like asbestos, nor could they carry their ill gotten goods into the next life. Dude, let's start making some spiritual asbestos sacks...we'll make millions. Oh wait, I don't want to upset "The Judge". Guess we should stick to admonishing the sinner after repenting ourselves.

Bump.

I read somewhere-theempirejournal.com, maybe?-that Judge Greer used to be in a law practice that did alot of work for Scientologists. Can anyone verify this is true?

My mom lives in Clearwater area and sends me articles about the latest land acquirements of Scientologists. They are now building in my home town, Battle Creek. Will be interesting to see how Tony Tiger Town likes this invasion. Apparantly they are so desperate for $, the city is ignoring what happened to Clearwater.

Felosious (fee-losh-eyus)

History deserves to remember this man, Felos, and his contribution indefinitely. And what better way to manifest a person's infamy than to codify it in language in perpetuity.

So I am proposing to inaugurate a new word to be used from this day forth in common blogese until such time as it is added to Webster's as an official addition to the English language.

felosious (fee-losh-eyus) or felosian (fee-losh-eyan) adj.

Now we need a good definition. I have a few in mind, but I thought I'd leave it to our readers and the rest of the blogosphere to decide. So please, by all means submit your definitions and they will be posted accordingly until Dueler and I decide on the best comprehensive definition to establish. Add yours here…

Scientology imposes its identity on a city

I've been closely watching the St. Petersburg Times' coverage of downtown Clearwater's economic difficulties, almost all of which can't help but mention the notorious Scientology organization.

All the rhetoric about how the core problems in Clearwater are related to Scientology's unfortunate presence is fully justified. Clearwater has become synonymous with Scientology, a goal that the organization deliberately set out to achieve when it sneaked into town under the assumed name "United Churches of Florida" and promptly tried to frame and eliminate Gabe Cazares, then-mayor of Clearwater.

Just how synonymous Clearwater is with Scientology is something that most of the St. Petersburg Times' readers are probably not aware of unless they read national news. It might not be much of a surprise to learn, however, that encyclopedias are starting to make the association, inexorably equating Clearwater with Scientology. Horribly, if you visit the Web site Encyclopedia.com and enter "Scientology" in the search request, Clearwater is offered as one of the four encyclopedia entries.

In a fairly recent court case in the county, a judge reviewed documentation covering the more than 100 video cameras Scientology has set up to watch and record vehicle and pedestrian traffic in downtown Clearwater. The judge turned to the Scientology lawyers and rhetorically asked them, "I just don't get it. When is the invasion coming?"

The fact is Scientology's invasion - what the organization called "Operation Normandy" - was a success. The city of Clearwater lost.
