Yeah this thing is pretty big.

This was a bug you couldn’t swat and definitely couldn’t step on.

British scientists have stumbled across a fossilized claw, part of an ancient sea scorpion, that is of such large proportion it would make the entire creature the biggest bug ever.

How big? Bigger than you, and at two metres long as big as some Smart cars.

We possibly may have done an “exchange” with aliens from the planet Serpo.

So everyone knows about the supposed Roswell, New Mexico UFO crash, and most people have heard that some little grey aliens were found at the crash site. One offshoot of the story that many folks haven’t heard is that one of the big black-eyed beings survived. This creature is said to have been treated well enough to have developed an affinity for his captors.

According to one version of the story, the alien was allowed to contact his home several years later – and with a good report for its American captors. This eventually lead to an ‘exchange program’ with the aliens in which 12 Americans went to the far-off ET planet, and one alien stayed here. There the American explorers lived happily for 13 years before most of them returned to Earth.

Blame it on the aliens.

Aliens were responsible for a series of unexplained fires in fridges, TV’s and mobile phones in an Italian village, according to an Italian government report.

Canneto di Caronia, in northern Sicily, drew attention three years ago after residents reported everyday household objects bursting into flames.

TV news footage at the time showed electrical appliances as well as cookers, a pile of wedding presents and furniture smouldering.

Not sure what the benefit is of a mouse not fearing a cat, I would guess that that type of fearlessness would lead to a lot of mouse deaths. But, here’s the stuff:

A team of University of Tokyo researchers led by professors Hitoshi Sakano and Ko Kobayakawa have announced they have genetically engineered a mouse that does not fear cats, simply by controlling its sense of smell. By tweaking genes to disable certain functions of the olfactory bulb — the area of the brain that receives information about smells directly from olfactory receptors in the nose — the researchers were able to create a “fearless” mouse that does not try to flee when it smells cats, foxes and other predators.

I can believe it.

It’s a new Da Vinci code but this time it could be for real.

An Italian musician and computer technician claims to have uncovered musical notes encoded in Leonardo Da Vinci’s “Last Supper,” raising the possibility that the Renaissance genius might have left behind a sombre composition to accompany the scene depicted in the 15th-century wall painting.

This kinda makes me think of the Aphex Face, but in reverse, and from further in the past.
