...Likud's greatest obstacle is his relative inexperience; his only public service has been as charge at the Israeli embassy in Washington, U.N. ambassador, Deputy Foreign Minister and Knesset member. To make the 47-year-old candidate appear more statesmanlike, Likud ads place him in a wood-paneled, Oval Office-like setting. Playing off Netanyahu's military stint as a commander in an elite special-forces unit, the Likud zeroes in on his seriousness about security. "Many of you are afraid to get on a bus," he tells the viewers, referring to repeated Palestinian suicide attacks. "I'm not prepared...
Scientists love to swap these stories almost as much as they enjoy debunking oft-repeated twister myths (like the one about tornadoes driving bits of straw through fence posts--what may actually happen, scientists suggest, is that a sudden drop in air pressure forces the wood to expand, allowing the straw to lodge in newly opened cracks). But even with all they've learned about the physical forces that power the creation of twisters, meteorologists still cannot say beforehand what path a particular tornado is likely to take or how much damage it is likely to do.

...Trace Beaulieu), is conducting a bizarre "experiment." He has launched into space a satellite containing a human named Mike (head writer Michael J. Nelson) and the automatons Tom Servo (operated and voiced by Kevin Murphy) and Crow T. Robot (Beaulieu again) and forced them to watch bad films: Ed Wood classics like Bride of the Monster and stuff way, way worse, like the 1965 Attack of the the Eye Creatures--a movie so inept that its makers put the word the twice in the title. Mike and the 'bots crack wise; we laugh; that's about it. This simple, supple...
