Geologists say Jesus, as described in the New Testament, was most likely crucified on Friday, April 3, in the year 33. The latest investigation, reported in International Geology Review, focused on earthquake activity at the Dead Sea, located 13 miles from Jerusalem. The Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 27, mentions that an earthquake coincided with the crucifixion: “And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit. At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split and the tombs broke open.”

Conservator Angelyn Bass cleans and stabilizes the surface of a wall of a Mayan house that dates to the ninth century. The figure of a man who may have been the town scribe appears on the wall to her left. Archaeologists working in one of the most impenetrable rain forests in Guatemala have stumbled on a remarkable discovery: a room full of wall paintings and numerical calculations. The buried room apparently was a workshop used by scribes or astronomers working for a Mayan king. The paintings depict the king and members of his court. The numbers mark important periods in...

An ancient Mayan skull stolen from Tibet by Nazis - said to have magical powers to enable humanity to survive the December 2012 apocalypse - has been dropped by a lab assistant in eastern Germany, chipping its chin. The volcanic rock skull, named Quauthemoc, was dropped - or, more eerily, may have fallen of its own accord - during a photo-shoot at a laboratory in the small town of Glauchau, Saxony. "It was probably put down somewhere a bit wobbly," an eye-witness told Bild newspaper. "Suddenly it crashed to the floor. A big piece broke off the chin. It's really...

Instead, he maintains better era will start Dec. 21When the current Mayan calendar cycle ends Dec. 21, the world will not cease to exist, says a Mayan elder. "There is a lot of information of what is going to happen on that date. The scholars say that the Mayan calendar ends, the world ends. But we, as Mayans, don't know anything about that," Elder Miguel Angel Chiquin said speaking through a Spanish translator Monday night at Colorado State University-Pueblo. "The great teachings that our ancestors have left us over the centuries, the 21st of December, we will be moving over...

Johns Hopkins professors propose new calendarBy: The Associated Press | 12/31/11 1:02 PM Two Johns Hopkins professors are proposing a new calendar in which dates would fall on the same days of the week every year. The calendar proposed by Richard Conn Henry, an astrophysicist, and Steve H. Hanke, an applied economist, begins each year on Sunday, Jan. 1. **SNIP** The professors, who also advocate "Universal Time" over time zones, say the new calendar would simplify planning and financial market calculations. They hope to take their proposal to the United Nations and attract worldwide interest.

Following up a bit on the previous post about the significance of the liturgical calendar, here is an excerpt from Barbara Morgan's essay, "Liturgy, Catechesis, and Conversion":In order to grow in participation in the mystery of Christ the Church wisely arranges the liturgical year to cover all of the mighty acts of God. The possibility for contemplation of all of the stages of God’s salvific action in sacred history are there. The Church maintains the important link between God’s promise and His oath: from the promise of and subsequent longing for redemption in Advent; to the stupendous realization of God’s...

Strasbourg, France, Jan 14, 2011 / 02:11 pm (CNA).- A 2011-2012 school calendar published by the European Union has omitted Christian holidays, while continuing to note important Jewish and Muslim celebrations. The European Union has printed three million copies of the calendar which will be distributed free-of-charge to students who request them. Former French politician and government minister, Christine Boutin, wrote in her blog Jan. 11 that the calendar leaves out Christianity, “the religion practiced or recognized as forming the cultural assembly of our ‘old’ continent.” Boutin is a consultant for the Pontifical Council for the Family, as well as...

I need some help publishing a calendar I made in excel 2007 to a web page so I can share it with everyone. It is damn funny and try as I might I have not been able to get the thing on to a web site. Any advice? Thanks in advance!

I had way too much time on my hands this year and decided to make a calendar - not just any calendar mind you, this one most assuredly a one off.

the Miss TSA Pinup Calendar. We aren't sure where these came from, but they do appear to be real x-rays (says a medical expert friend of mine), and were probably done by a radiologist -- that's why they'd be hitting the medical community first. My medical expert friend (who wishes to remain anonymous) is the one who forwarded me the images. After some quick research online, the earliest posting of the images I can find is on Outburst.com, but the site was apparently hacked shortly afterward and has since been taken down (here's the cached page). Still, there's nothing on...

The antiobamastore.com is offering the Sarah Palin 2011 calendar for those hard-to-please folks on your Christmas shopping list. Not all the photos are particularly flattering – she has a double chin for January – and there are no bathing suit shots. But December does find her leaning coquettishly against an airplane without any glasses on. See the photos month-by-month.

This calendar is just a joke, in a time of rampant seriousness.

Congressional calendar endangers repeal of 'don't ask, don't tell'By Philip Rucker and Ed O'Keefe Washington Post Staff Writers Saturday, December 4, 2010; 7:11 PM This was supposed to be the year that the law banning gays from serving openly in the military would be repealed. President Obama and the top Pentagon brass made clear their distaste for "don't ask, don't tell." Polling suggests the nation has moved past it. The Democrats who control Congress, as well as some Republicans, are ready to overturn it. And last week a final potential obstacle was removed when an exhaustive Pentagon study found little...

When their airline filed for bankruptcy in August, a few dedicated stewardesses did what no highly-paid executive would do: stripped down to raise some dough. Ten stewardesses with Mexicana Airlines debuted their sexy, aviation-themed calendar on Thursday, which feature the flight attendants in bikinis or scantily-altered versions of their former uniform. The women even shelled out nearly $8,000 of their own money to help cover the production costs. "The goal was to try to help ourselves because we lost everything overnight," said Maribel Zavala, who posed for the calendar. The calendar flew off the shelves, selling out 1,000 copies at...

Vanity Fair’s attacked conservative men with its latest political satire: a soft-core pornographic, borderline homosexual and obviously photoshopped “Official 2010-2011 Republican Beefcake Calendar.” Humorous perhaps, but also an attack on those candidates and certainly not the magazine’s first jab at Republicans and conservatives.

MOSCOW – Vladimir Putin received an unusual birthday gift Thursday from 12 female journalism students, who posed in lacy underwear and used sexual innuendo to create a calendar dedicated to Russia's macho prime minister. "How about a third time?" asks Miss February, hinting at a third presidential term for Putin, who served two terms as president from 2000 to 2008 and is eligible to run again in 2012. "You put out the forest fires, but I'm still burning," says Miss March, referring to Putin's piloting of a firefighting plane during the summer's devastating wildfires. p>

Irish airline Ryanair is on a Europe-wide search for sexy female cabin crew to strip down for its 2011 calendar. Despite complaints from women’s groups across Europe, the airline is determined to line up female cabin crew members to pose semi-naked for the calendar. A Ryanair spokesperson said that despite women’s groups criticism of the calendar idea, a recent poll indicated female staff as the popular choice. "Overwhelmingly people still want female cabin crews,” he said. "We wanted sexy passengers to be in it but they said no they wanted cabin crew 50,000 passengers voted and said they wanted it...

Responding to customers' complaints, Publix has stopped distributing a free 2010 calendar that marked Dec. 7 as the start of the Islamic New Year but excluded the anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor.

WYCKOFF, N.J. — Twelve Jersey girls have shed their clothes to pose for a calendar to raise awareness about prostate cancer. Proceeds from “Stand By Your Man: 12 Women in Support of a Cure for Prostate Cancer” will go to the Prostate Cancer Coalition of New Jersey.

We humans love a good scare, don’t we? Remember Y2K? All the computers in the world were supposed to do horrible things, banks were going to topple, governments who depended on PCs for their defense systems would vaporize, and The Osmands threatened to come back to prime time TV... Fast forward to now. We’re on the precipice of the end of days: December 21, 2012. That’s when the cognoscenti are saying that the world, as we know it, will end. Right?

An academic maverick is challenging conventional wisdom on Canada’s prehistory by claiming an archeological site in southern Alberta is really a vast, open-air sun temple with a precise 5,000-year-old calendar predating England’s Stonehenge and Egypt’s pyramids. Mainstream archeologists consider the rock-encircled cairn to be just another medicine wheel left behind by early aboriginals. But a new book by retired University of Alberta professor Gordon Freeman says it is in fact the centre of a 26-square-kilometre stone “lacework” that marks the changing seasons and the phases of the moon with greater accuracy than our current calendar. “Genius existed on the prairies...

Just in time for February!

Sarah Palin has continued her quest for world domination with a 2009 calendar that has become a surprising bestseller. After a rollercoaster year that saw her fail in her US vice-presidential bid but become instead a grandmother and internet phenomenon, the Alaska Governor's 2009 calendar has emerged as the most popular office product on Amazon.com over the festive period. The calendar, which features 50 candid photos of Mrs Palin, 44, hunting and hanging out with her family, is selling at $15.95 (£11). Created by Judy Patrick, the former deputy mayor of Wasilla, Alaska - where Mrs Palin was mayor from...

2009 Krispy Kreme Calendar. Some REAL Voluminous Beauties on this calendar. A Ton of surprises with this calendar.

The media and Democrats might hate Sarah Palin, but her 2009 calendar is currently the number one best selling office product at Amazon.com. Just imagine how this must be galling liberal press members who can't understand her popularity. Of course, the cynic -- or the realist depending on your point of view -- might believe that media very much understand why she's so popular, and that's why they hate her so much. Regardless, some more pictures from her calendar are below the fold:

She didn’t make it to the White House, but CNN notes Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is a leader on Amazon.com’s best-seller list.

Not content with having won the White House and expanded its majorities in the House and Senate, the Left is now training its vitriol on ... a calendar. No joke. The same tolerance-worshiping Obama supporters who demanded change and got it are now suffering brain aneurisms from the mere existence of calendar celebrating (gasp!) conservative women. Less than twenty-four hours after the launch of the Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute’s “Pretty in Mink” calendar, an onslaught of angry leftist bloggers unleashed a torrent of visceral hatred—aimed at everything from the calendar’s photography and makeup to the women’s physical appearance. The...
