How The Riskiest Choices In 'Doctor Who' Came To Define It


This video is A DIGG ORIGINAL
With over 800 episodes and over 50 years of television history, Doctor Who is the longest running science fiction TV show in the world. The show has added, changed and totally eliminated many of the original aspects and characters of the show yet remains a worldwide fan phenomenon with a huge following. The latest leap forward is the casting of Jodie Whittaker as the 13th Doctor and the first woman to play that role. Hope this video explains the evolution of Doctor Who and encourages new fans to join the experience.

Billie Jean by Chris Cornell

The media will be saturated with Michael Jackson retrospectives for the weeks and months following his very unexpected death. When Michael Jackson was at his peak and earning the "King of Pop" crown, I was in high school becoming what I can only describe as "musically aware". As a rebellious teenager, there was NO WAY I was going to be listening to pop, having only recently discovered Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Van Halen, etc. Michael Jackson was the antithesis of what I was into at a time when he was the undisputed ruler of the airwaves and MTV.

That said, Michael Jackson's mark on pop music and pop culture cannot be understated. As the unofficial "music guy" here at Bonez, here's my small tribute to the man. I can't say that I've ever owned a Michael Jackson album, but Chris Cornell's version of Billie Jean is in my car stereo right now. That has to stand for something...

Sweet E's Boob Phobia


Saudi history in four minutes taken from the movie The Kingdom. [Found @ The Daily Galaxy]

E. has been bitching and moaning about how unfair it is that his "writing art" has to compete with the base instincts of the average web surfer. He's referring primarily to the connoisseurs of free porn (or is that "pr0n"?) and particularly those who cannot seem to get enough breast viewing in their day. Well, tough nookie, Sweet E. Grow up and accept the obvious truth that more people of both sexes prefer peeking at or showing off a nice pair of boobies than they do reading "writing art".

Internally and externally the temples are richly carved with excellent sculptures that are frequently sensual and, at times, sexually explicit."

Surviving 2012 and Planet X

UPDATE: January 2019 -- FLASH! We are all still here and Nibiru isn't. However, this post continues to get massive hits/views so we at Bonez will update as necessary should more Planet X "reliable" information surfaces. Thank you for visiting Bonez.

Many of the world's religions focus on 2012 as being a time of great physical and spiritual upheaval.
Surviving 2012 and Planet X is a five-part series produced and hosted by Marshall Masters. Masters, a former CNN science feature field producer, offers a straightforward view of this coming human event. As the co-author and publisher of Planet X Forecast and 2012 Survival Guide, Marshall believes that 2012 will be a survivable, evolutionary event.
Part 1: The Threat


Part 2: Scientific Proof


Part 3: Historical Proof


Part 4: Surviving


Part 5: Beyond 2012


A massive object called "The Destroyer" which orbits our Sun is due to return with catastrophic results in 2012. The Destroyer also correlates to Nostradamus's "Bearded Star", Mother Shipton's "Fiery Dragon" and the "Red Comet" warning of the Mayan Calendar Prophecies. The close passing of such an object larger than Jupiter would cause massive gravitational induced destruction with volcanic eruptions, super earthquakes, gigantic tsunamis, and asteroid/meteor showers. History will be written by the survivors.
