As the Mars Rover was going through its Seven Minutes of Terror while it descended to the surface, it was snapping pictures about four times a second. If you take those pictures, set them to their relevant duration, and smooth the differences between them, you get something Totally Fucking Awesome: a Mars Landing video in real time.

Beyond Castro church’s drag-queen fuss, Aug. 16, Bay Area, C1
C.W. Nevius’ column about Most Holy Redeemer banning drag queen performers incorrectly stated that entertainer Peaches Christ appeared at an event at the church’s hall with a dildo shaped like a crucifix. He did not appear at the event, nor does he use the prop.

Update: Okay, this is getting weird…
Mark Sanford (R), the former South Carolina governor who says gay folks shouldn’t get married, is getting married again! That is, getting married again after destroying his first marriage – 4 boys from that one.
Mark Sanford, the disgraced former South Carolina governor, is engaged to the Argentinian mistress who cost him his political career.
Sanford, 52, surprised journalist María Belén Chapur last week with a wedding proposal in Buenos Aires that left them both crying and promising to stay together forever.
The Republican politician was considered a rising star and a possible presidential contender until he disappeared for six days in 2009 and returned to reveal he had been meeting Miss Chapur in secret in Argentine.
