A bus exits the NORAD Cheyenne Mountain Complex, on Cheyenne Mountain. The North American Aerospace Defense Command says it is virtually closing the secretive defense complex .
The Cheyenne Mountain complex was begun in 1961 and completed in 1966. It consists of 15 buildings (some resting on springs to minimize blast effects) in a 4 1/2 acre cavern that was bored out of the granite mountain. It became a fabled location in movies about Cold War confrontations with the old Soviet Union.
NORAD is not the sole tenant inside the mountain complex, though. Air Force Space Command - which monitors everything flying in space - is also housed there, but is looking at moving its central headquarters to Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, the Air Force’s premier missile-launch base.

“Malaysia’s highest Islamic authority has banned Muslims from using Botox injections for cosmetic purposes.
The National Fatwa Council ruled on Thursday that the injections were not to be allowed because they contained some substances that were banned.The council technically has no legal power, but Muslims who go against their rulings are said to be committing sins.
It made its decision “after studying reports from abroad, local specialists and fatwas made in Middle Eastern countries”, council chairperson Shukor Husin told the newspaper.”
National Fatwah Council?
Holy sh*thouse mouse.
My question is this: burqua-clad women obviously have no need for botox. So, has there been a rash of muslm men getting botox injections?
ROFL!
Let the seething begin.
