| 18 Camels of Opium, Yo |
| 11.30.04 (4:34 am) [edit] |
Iranian police have seized 18 kilograms of opium after cutting open the stomachs of six camels, which are being increasingly used to carry narcotics from Afghanistan.
Iran is one of the world's key narcotics thoroughfares, carrying opiates from Afghanistan to Europe. It boasts 25 percent of opium seizures worldwide.
Camels are known for going days, if not weeks, without water - but godamned they get cranky after 2 days without a stomach full of opium!

| Man Has Sixth Toe and Finger |
| 11.29.04 (11:18 am) [edit] |
An extra toe is shown on the foot of Tirso Furcal in a photo taken in the Dominican Republic by his surgeon.
Furcal, who was born with a sixth toe on each foot, as well as an extra finger on his right hand, had them removed in an operation Nov. 11, 2004, at Jersey City Medical Center.
That's fuckin' weird, yo.

| How To Hang An Elephant |
| 11.19.04 (9:25 am) [edit] |
How do you kill something as big as an elephant? This was the problem that vexed the people of Kingsport, TN.
Big Mary was part of a circus that was touring eastern Tennessee. While in Kingsport, one of her trainers made the mistake of poking her with a stick. Mary immediately stomped him to death (tradition has it that the trainer was a bad man and that Big Mary held a grudge).
What to do? The circus felt that having a "killer elephant" would be bad for business. So the circus manager decided that justice was inevitable. The problem was, no one in Kingsport had a gun big enough to do the job.
Then someone remembered the neighboring town of Erwin, which had a railroad yard with a crane that could lift locomotive boilers. Word got around fast. Over 5,000 spectators showed up to watch the elephant hanging.
You can read a shorty story by [url=http://www.amazon.com/exec/ob...]Glenn David Gold[/url] , which uses the story of Mary as the plot - that's how I first heard about this story, then realizing it was based on an actual incident!

| Texas, Web Site, and Hunting |
| 11.18.04 (4:37 am) [edit] |
Hunters soon may be able to sit at their computers and blast away at animals on a Texas ranch via the Internet.
[url=http://www.live-shot.com]LiveShot[/url] offers target practice with a .22 caliber rifle and could soon let hunters shoot at deer, antelope and wild pigs.
Underwood, an estimator for a San Antonio, Texas auto body shop, has invested $10,000 to build a platform for a rifle and camera that can be remotely aimed on his 330-acre southwest Texas ranch by anyone on the Internet anywhere in the world.
Oh, yeah... the thrill of the hunt and the great outdoors can soon be forgotten entirely thanks to this wonderful web site gives the phrase "hunting for sport" a completely new meaning.

A woman in New Zealand says she is breastfeeding her pet puppy because she wants it to protect her baby daughter as they both grow up.
Kura Tumanako told the local news agency Wednesday that she had started breastfeeding the Staffordshire bull terrier pup after her baby stopped taking her milk.
"I didn't want to waste it so I gave it to Honey Boy," she said.
Ah, yes - c'mere and suck on my nipples, Foo-Foo...

| Lost City of Atlantis Found (?) |
| 11.15.04 (8:54 am) [edit] |
A U.S. researcher claims he has found the lost civilization of Atlantis in the watery deep off Cyprus - adding his theory to a mystery which has baffled explorers for centuries.
Robert Sarmast said a Mediterranean basin was flooded in a deluge around 9,000 BC which submerged a rectangular land mass he believes was Atlantis, lying 1.5 km beneath sea level between Cyprus and Syria.
"We have definitely found it," said Sarmast.
Deep water sonar scanning had indicated man-made structures on a submerged hill, including a 3-kilometer-long wall, a walled hill summit and deep trenches, he said.
According to ancient Greek philosopher Plato, Atlantis was an island nation where an advanced civilisation developed some 11,500 years ago. Sceptics believe Atlantis was a figment of Plato's imagination.
Theories abound as to why it disappeared, from Atlantis being hit by a cataclysmic natural disaster to Greek mythology which describes the civilisation as being so corrupted by greed and power that it was destroyed by God.

Do you have loud, obnoxious neighbors? Some old lady watching TV with the volume at full blast? Metalheads playing Anthrax too loud and too often? A little french poodle constantly barking at nothing in particular?
Then I recommend you buy the [url=http://www.iwantoneofthose.co...]Revenge CD[/url] !

| Too Fast, Too Frivolous? |
| 11.15.04 (6:38 am) [edit] |
In March, NASA launched an experimental jet that reached a record-setting speed of about 5,000 mph. Now researchers want to leave that milestone in the dust.
NASA's third and last X-43A "scramjet" is set to streak over the Pacific Ocean at 7,000 mph for 10 or 11 seconds - or 10 times the speed of sound.
Just 12 feet long and 5 feet wide, the unmanned X-43A is mounted on the nose of a Pegasus rocket that will be carried aloft to 40,000 feet by NASA's B-52 research aircraft and released.
The Pegasus rocket will ignite and carry the X-43A to an altitude of 110,000 feet and a speed of about Mach 10, then release it for its brief powered flight. The X-43A will then become a glider and perform maneuvers until it splashes down into the ocean.
That will be the end of the X-43A project, which has cost more than $230 million and has no immediate follow-on program.

| Your Very Own Ecosphere |
| 11.12.04 (5:48 am) [edit] |
Own your own scientifically amazing, maintenance free mini world, developed by NASA!
[url=http://www.eco-sphere.com/hom...]The Ecosphere[/url] is the result of NASA research into self-contained, space-proof communities, the Ecosphere is a microcosm of the universe's ecosystem, and contains everything needed for an ecosystem to survive.
All the elements of the Ecosphere depend on the filtered sea water, which contains tiny shrimp, algae and bacteria, plus a base of gravel and gorgonia (non-living branch-like material) which forms the earth element of this ecosystem. An indirect source of natural or artificial light, together with carbon dioxide in the water, enables the algae to produce oxygen by photosynthesis. The oxygen and algae feed the shrimp, while the bacteria breaks down their waste.
It's a scientific miracle!

| Buy the Fake Snow |
| 11.10.04 (10:00 am) [edit] |
Have you noticed how the fake snow used in movies has gotten more realistic over the past few years? It's the never-melting weird shit from the 80s anymore - it looks more realistic.
Here's some news about the new stuff and how you can get some for yourself. It's made from a polymer (which comes as a fine white powder, like salt) that when it comes into contact with water, swells up into fluffy white snow. [url=http://www.iwantoneofthose.co...]Buy it here[/url] - It's the same snow they use in all the movies.
Once I saw this photo, I almost flipped out. I had to suppress my rage - is this a man? a woman? whomever it is, I'm extremely pissed off and ready to kill someone. That is all.

I wish I was kid again... maybe I'll get one anyway!
Mounted on three gun-turret style legs, the [url=http://www.iwantoneofthose.co...]Room Defender[/url] will protect your privacy from prying snoopers. It has a motion sensor alarm, so when someone enters your room it will give a verbal warning to the intruder, then fire a warning shot (in the form of a foam disc).
You can also program it to shoot in 'warning shot mode' where it will fire off a 1/4 of its payload, 'ambush mode' will fire off half the magazine, or 'assault mode' when it will empty it's breach completely at the unsuspecting intruder. Comes with a remote.

| Hermit Found Studying Physics |
| 11.08.04 (5:32 am) [edit] |
Will this man solve the riddle of unifying all the theories of the physics world, something Einstein was unable to do?
A hermit was recently discovered near the Department of Defense land just a few hundred yards from the famed Los Alamos research labs.
Roy Michael Moore, came to Los Alamos four years ago to work on his own complex theories of space-time and unifying the theories of physics, and then presumably to present those ideas to the physicists at Los Alamos.
He had built himself a comfortable home in a cave in Los Alamos Canyon, using solar panels to power a satellite radio, a glass door sealing off the front of the cave from the elements, and a wood stove for heat.
And tons of pot...the guy got arrested for possession.
Check out his web site, [url=http://www.micromike.com/inde...]micro-mike[/url] for more info.

| F-16 Fires At School |
| 11.05.04 (7:25 am) [edit] |
A National Guard F-16 fighter plane mistakenly fired off 25 rounds of ammunition at the Little Egg Harbor Intermediate School in South New Jersey on Wednesday night.
The pilot was meant to fire the rounds some 3.5 miles away at a military target range. No one was injured as school was out and a lone custodian was inside the building when the bullets hit. Damage was minimal as the non-exploding, 20 millimeter bullets left only puncture marks in the school's roof and the asphalt outside the building.
Ah... the news just keeps gettin' better and better!

| Robotic Cats Help, Not Hurt? |
| 11.05.04 (5:22 am) [edit] |
Researchers in Georgetown University have found that stroking a robotic cat is more beneficial to health than petting a toy; and that such a machine could even remind patients to take medication.
Alexander and Elena Libin, a team of robotic psychology researchers, found that the NeCoRo robots increase attention and focus among sufferers of dementia and coronary artery disease.
The robot is programmed to respond in the same way a typical feline would, becoming angry or happy when hit or stroked. It is also sophisticated enough to learn and respond to its own name, and has the same biological rhythms as a cat.
Oh yeah...this isn't creepy at all. Robotic cats that look scary and can become angry... Any takers?

| A Drunk Driver's Worst Enemy |
| 11.02.04 (6:36 am) [edit] |
This is a classic blog...
The Alco-Detector is a new vehicle device that consists of a sensor placed in close proximity to the driver. As the sensor detects alcohol in the driver's breath, it relays the information to the control panel, which either disables the vehicle immediately or after a short distance, giving the driver time to safely pull off the road.
If the driver open a bottle of alcohol when driving, the sensor detects it and the vehicle is disabled within a short distance.
In order to re-start the vehicle, the control panel needs to be re-set by an authorised person who is aware of its hidden location.

| GlobalVote.org Election Results |
| 11.02.04 (6:28 am) [edit] |
I posted this link a week or two back about how the world would vote, if given a chance, in our US election. The results are in and probably not too surprising... but it's interesting to look at how people voted in the different parts of the world. Take a look.
Over the past three weeks, [url=http://217.160.163.211/global...]Globalvote.org[/url] have recorded over 700,000 visitors, with one person voting every second at peak times. This website recorded over 113,552 votes from 191 countries.
The winner is:
[b]John Kerry with 77.1% of votes.[/b]

| NFL Picks President |
| 11.01.04 (10:30 am) [edit] |
Packers vs. Redskins determined the presidency last night...
If history holds, the 28-14 score portends a victory for Kerry on Tuesday because the result of the Redskins' final home game before the presidential election has always accurately predicted the White House winner.
If the Redskins win, the incumbent party wins. If they lose, the incumbent party is ousted. The Democratic candidate, who describes himself as superstitious and carries a lucky buckeye, cheered the omen.
"I couldn't be more thrilled with the Packers win today," Kerry said. "The Packers have done their part. This Tuesday, we'll do ours."
I couldn't be more happy... Jevon Walker is on my fantasy football team and scored a touchdown. Therefore, I helped get Kerry elected while taking first place in my league. I'm the man...

| Worst Contraption Ever |
| 11.01.04 (10:18 am) [edit] |
What's the most worthless invention of all time?
A machine that ties a tie - in only 562 steps. The three-foot-tall tie-tying machine, called "Why Knot?", was built by retired biomedical engineer Seth Goldstein in his basement in Bethesda, Maryland.
It holds a tie mounted on a stand, surrounded by motor-driven levers, gears, and rollers. The machine goes through its paces, then unties it, straightens it, and does it again, until you turn it off.
Goldstein built it to illustrate the complicated processes behind daily tasks.
Well, thank god we now know how hard it is for a machine to tie a tie... I'm almost upset with myself for posting about this contraption. But I figured you all should see what advanced technology is doing to make your life better...

| More Perverted German News |
| 11.01.04 (5:02 am) [edit] |
It's been a while since I've spotted any usual unusual perverted German activities...well, here we go again. It was only a matter of time!
BERLIN - German police detained a naked 25-year-old woman and her 23-year-old partner who were engaged in sexual intercourse on the pavement in the middle of a busy shopping district, police said Saturday.
Police in the western town of Duelmen said the couple were spotted by pedestrians late Friday morning having intercourse. Pedestrians in the town of 40,000 called police, but the couple initially ignored police orders to stop.
"The naked couple continued their passion-filled activity on the cold asphalt," a police spokesman said. "They finally followed police instructions to stop on the third warning."
...if it wasn't for Germany and their perverse, shizer-eating ways, I'd have so little to write about...
