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.
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.
These things (the rovers Spirit and Opportunity, to be more precise) are still running and still exploring Mars. Mars, what a wonderful place. A place where two space rovers can flourish unexpectedly.
NASA announced it was extending for the fifth time the mission of Mars space probes Spirit and Opportunity, in their indefatigable exploration of the Red planet.
The two robots touched down three weeks apart on Mars in January 2004 for an expected 90-day mission that instead could stretch out to 2009, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration said on its website.
Where’s Waldo? Where’s the lunatic. The defense is that the killer is a portrayal of the killer Fritz Haarmann, who was part of the German city Hanover’s past.
Tourism officials have been slammed for featuring an axe wielding serial killer on a children’s Christmas advent calendar.
