A space object that may or may not be the Death Star or some other alien craft cast a light ray on Longyearbyen last week (see photo above). Alien sightings are reported regularly in Svalbard, including people claiming a spaceship spent a year or so on the town’s beachfront and a UFO that crashed in the mountains is now hiding with the zombies in the Doomsday Vault. For more about our endless efforts to pursue the truth about what’s out there check out our otherworldy coverage…
We’ve long fantasized that if we ever get thrown out of for being “undesirables” we’ll get to do time in one of Norway’s famous luxury prisons like the Bastoy island facility (picture at right), even if climates on the mainland are a bit warm for our liking. But, it seems, even the world’s most awesome prison system is a human rights violator, at least when it comes to the misunderstood soul of Anders Behring Breivik, a name we generally don’t print so as not to give that mother****** any more publicity than he’s already getting. But it put our local teenage surviver, Viljar Hanssen, back in the global headlines as well with his rather emphatic denunciations of the ruling. ““This is an assault on us all,” wrote Hanssen, who was shot five times and barely survived – albeit with the loss of an eye and some of his motor skills – in a Facebook post. “The court has gone a bit too far now, wanting Norway to be the best boy in class when it comes to human rights.” BTW, in this week’s “two degrees of separation” in terms of the fishwrapper, we did note with interest Robert Hermansen (the hero/villain on page seven) noted when he got our of prison that, while he caught up on a lot of reading in those less-than-torturous cells, you still had to deal with the fact you neighbors were kinda unpleasant types with a tendency to beat you up on a regular basis. Maybe if ABB was bitching about that instead of being stuck with an outdated Playstation 3…
