And honk they did. Yesterday a worldwide Scientology protest took place by "Anonymous" (AKA Project Chanology, an Internet-based protest against the Church of Scientology), and we caught a few images of the action on our rickety, old cellular communication device. Had we had a better camera, we could've gotten images of the police surrounding the Scientology building entrance; the tour guide telling his gaggle of tourists that John Travolta was, in fact, inside the......

Well, this should be exciting, hateful. This Sunday at 11 a.m. at 701 Montgomery Street in San Francisco, there will be a protest over that religious sect those zany Hollywood types know and love so well. You know, the one where you can't take Prozac, or call you Jewish children, or....whatever. (For a map of the SF branch, go here.) It sounds like it will be a Sunday afternoon well-spent. Instruction are as follows:......

Why? Because a body has been found under one of the BART trains. How the body ended up there or its current condition is unknown at this time. But a medical examiner has been called onto the scene, so...sounds like a not-alive body to us. Sadly....

Screen shot captured Sunday afternoon by ciaran-sf at the Montgomery Street station. It went without K, T, L, or M outbound info since last Thursday, we're told. On the sunnier side, at least the outbound J-Church and N-Judah intervals are almost spot-on.......

Funny, we thought, as we stared blankly out of our downtown office window this morning. That's an awful lot of cop cars speeding down the street. Then we got an email from SFist Karen, asking if anyone had heard about a fire around Stockton Street. We checked the breaking news and it turns out there was a track fire on the BART between the Embarcadero and Montgomery Street stops. Witnesses (including SFist Karen) report seeing......

Thomas Hawk sends us pictures of a police action at the Montgomery Street BART station today. The details are still fuzzy, but apparently a 'mysterious package' was found and the station was closed. Turns out it was a lunchbox with a (presumably not deadly) ham and cheese sandwich. Sigh. The station was quickly reopened. Photos by Thomas Hawk.......

It's kind of like an incredible alignment of the planets when December 31 happens to land on a Friday (ok, the next time will be in 2010, but the time after that won't be until 2021!). So we're thinking that this must be a special year for the participants of that beloved annual SF tradition: throwing the contents of page-a-day desk calendars out skyscraper windows on the last workday of the year. Now, we don't......
