News Briefs 18-03-2005

I was just putting the final polish on the news post when one of Greg’s demons perched her hideous self atop my printer, grinned her fangs, and hissed, “Publish the news now or I’ll rip your heart out and eat it.”

Here’s what happened next ………..

  • The first reconstruction of a complete Neanderthal skeleton reveals more clearly than ever the similarities and differences between us and them.
  • Tsunami reveals the reality of generations of legends hidden by the water off India.
  • The best excavations in Egypt today seem to be inside the Cairo Museum.
  • Droppings reveal the health of Scotland’s ancient inhabitants.
  • An Atlantis investigator explains and vindicates the dialogues of Plato’s Timaeus and the Critias. If this article interests you, be sure to see the additional articles listed in the box to the right on the website.
  • Archaeologist discovers ancient ships in Egypt.
  • How much can your mind keep track of?
  • Are supernatural beings causing jail deaths?
  • Stalin’s secret files on Hitler have been found.
  • Lightning may not strike twice but earthquakes do. A repeat of the Indian Ocean quake that caused the December’s Indian Ocean tsunami is likely.
  • The USDA may approve rice with human genes in Missouri.
  • Biologists with the Idaho National Guard have discovered a new species of fairy shrimp living in the oft-dry lake beds of Idaho’s desert. What a grim life.
  • An autonomous robot has found life in one of the most lifeless places on Earth: the Atacama desert in northern Chile.
  • Vampire bats fly, drink blood — and run.
  • Worldwide protests target Canada’s seal hunt.
  • A Finnish subsidiary of John Deere is building giant spiderbots. See pic – does it remind you of anything?
  • ‘Vampire’ flogged, stabbed and hanged in public.
  • Despite UN atomic watchdog efforts, Pakistan is reviving the nuclear black market. Somebody remind me why we have a UN.
  • Russian oligarchs want immortality.
  • Genetic differences between men and women are more extensive and profound than previously believed, according to a study that unravels the chemistry of the sexes.
  • Need a building? Just add water.
  • Giving inspiration to the romantically challenged, an inventor has attached electrodes to regular eating utensils that can pick up on whether the person across the table feels uncomfortable or pleased.
  • By smashing beams of gold nuclei together at near light speeds, a black hole has been generated at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) in New York. Perhaps the Anunnaki ‘gods’ wanted all that gold for similar reasons.
  • Now you can buy candles that smell like Jesus. No, we don’t make this stuff up. $18.00, US, available online.
  • Can science confirm Christianity’s most defining moment?
  • Author looks at ‘Why Jews Rejected Jesus’. Why the Jews Rejected Jesus: The Turning Point in Western History is available at Amazon US and UK.
  • Physicists are working to prove that the Shroud of Turin is the burial cloth used to wrap the body of Jesus Christ.
  • Human embryonic stem cells have been grown animal-free. Mice celebrate.
  • The mystery of Arizona’s Meteor Crater has been solved.
  • The Mysteries of Siberia’s “Valley of Death”: Part 1 – Strange metallic structures and evidence of devastating nuclear-type explosions every six or seven centuries; Part 2 – An ancient high-tech “Installation” in remote Siberia was responsible for sending guided plasma sphere weapons to destroy a meteorite over Tunguska in 1908; Part 3 – The 1908 Tunguska meteorite was destroyed by intelligently guided plasma “terminator spheres”.
  • Scientists will observe 300 million ancient galaxies to measure mysterious dark energy.
  • The origin of the Moon still remains a puzzle for scientists.
  • Images recently taken by the ESA’s Mars Express spacecraft shows a frozen body of water beneath the surface of Mars making the possibility of the discovery of life much closer than was previously thought.
  • The US-European Cassini spacecraft reveals that Saturn’s snow-white moon, Enceladus, is shrouded by a thin water-vapor atmosphere.

Quote of the Day


The religion that is afraid of science dishonors God and commits suicide.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

  1. How much can your mind keep track of?
    “We are not smart”. Line from a particular Star Trek episode. (the name of which I haven’t kept track of) The aliens were crafty and duplicitous, but less than brilliant. They at least realized their disadvanage when up against the ever so mentally nimble leadership of the USS Enterprise, and so confessed.

    I guess we too are at something of a disadvantage compared with God.
    I wonder if any animals can challenge or even surpass our humble capacity in this regard?
    If we could keep track of more … we would probably be even more dangerous.

  2. Vampire bats: eeewwyyuu!! T
    Vampire bats: eeewwyyuu!! This only adds to the despicable aspect of these little bat-stards.

    The Walking Machine looks something like a grasshopper mutant. Can it jump?

    Gold beam black hole: “However, even if the ball of plasma is a black hole, it is not thought to pose a threat.” Well that’s good. Because if they were wrong …

  3. “Geeks have major challenges dating”
    Ok, so what do we have here? Would you like to go out on a date with me? Would you please use these special eating utensils because I can not seem to be able to understand your body language. I am dependent on you sweating on these electrodes so they will convey information about your stress level. If I can figure out how to read the electrodes and the amount of sweat you are producing , I may be able to determine whether or not you like the food and you would like some desert, or is it, I am to figure out if you want to kiss me? Wait a minute….I have to read this manual again.

    OK, right,… with a firm grip take hold of fork in left hand. Proceed to stab at peas on plate. Continue on, keep stabbing, see how many you are able to stab off plate and get into your mouth and swallow, all of the while with a smile on your face. Make sure you count your peas. If you are getting frustrated, and the amount of peas is under 20, you will go hungry and fat chance you won’t get laid. SO, the deal is, watch your stressors…Relax.

    Oh wait a minute, that is the directions for the person who is eating and I am watching the electrodes, OK , right, now then….

    Here we go….. view electrodes, if person seems to be under due stress, look at their plate, count the peas and calculate the odds of them actually completing the task of stabbing all of the peas off plate……determine ratio of peas per minute per sweat mark, determine if after all of this, is it really worth getting a piece of ass. Remember to smile.

    oh my …I…I…I…I think I am getting dazed from the news these days….

  6. Bill’s back!
    Hi Bill, I am always pleased to see you return safe and sound from your dangerous experimental work.
    Well I hope you are safe and sound, there could be something you are not telling us.
    With that young Greg off looking for yowies there is never a peaceful moment in my world.
    I’d hog-tie you all if I could.
    My older son reminded me the other day that I wouldn’t let him become apprenticed to a butcher because I told the butcher he wasn’t allowed to use sharp knives.
    With him now test-driving and building performance cars I should have stuck with the butcher.

    Anyway, I think the spiderbot thing looks like the alien in MIB 1.

    I saw somewhere today that scientists are predicting another tsunami as big or bigger than the Boxing Day one.
    That is so damn scary.
    I live 100 yards from the sea but of course the wave would have to go through millionaires’ row to get to me.

    Isn’t it funny how they check out droppings to tell how people lived.They have done that in Sydney and Melbourne (are you listening Rick?) when they pulled out old outhouses.

    I am going to be so interested in the Shroud of Turin dating when it is done.It is fascinating.I will be looking for an update.

    That story about Siberia is amazing,I wish I could go there and see the stuff.Siberia would be a terrific place to visit to look for alien signs, with it being so deserted and so far from habitation.

    I saw the link Secret Flies on Hitler, but didn’t open it.It seemed a bit yucky.I am sure there were flies all over him the pig.

    Great links, Bill.Thank you,

    shadows
