Humanity wins again:

* Luxury ocean liners in Russia are offering pirate hunting cruises aboard armed private yachts off the Somali coast.
this was so much better a few days ago when i found it than it is now, but still worth the read. Scroll down to the English version.
When attacked, they retaliate with grenade launchers, machine guns and rocket launchers.More here

* let me get this straight:

• Glazier Wayne slams his head after hitting a lamppost whilst “cycling on holiday”, taken to Hospital where he meets Emily.
• Emily is possibly bi-polar and on heavy medications.
• Emily is also an ex porn star.
• Emily thinks Wayne is stacked with cash so she latches on, Wayne doesnt care as he is “happy to have a gf”
• The two never separate for a WHOLE YEAR!
• Wayne’s mum condemns the whole affair with this nugget: “I’d rather none of my children got married. It is a lot of hard work.’
• Wayne reads the paper last weekend discovers Emily is a wanted woman, a serial bigamist.
• Wayne doesn’t care,  he is just “happy to have a gf”.
• Emilys last husband didn’t find out about her ways until on the honeymoon. Wonder how that came up………………..Keeping a good woman down.

* Speaking of good women going keeping down: Man goes on holiday from wife/job. Man immediately orders a whore to his suite. Whore shows up, man lets her in, has heart attack when he recognizes his his daughter. Man getting divorced.

* If your not following me yet on Twitter, why? I can help you.

ScienceLab:

* Emissions grew by 1.7 per cent in 2008, compared to 3.3 per cent in 2007. The agency’s analysis suggests that this was mostly because fossil fuel consumption decreased globally for the first time since 1992.

* The Rise of the Robots. Brilliant interview spanning all sorts of things within the world of robotic warfare and the order of things; future and present. What struck me immediately about this interview was the first set of responses, highlighted here:
 

“mine is a generation that is producing more history than it can consume.” There is too much going on. It is hard to stay abreast of the day-to-day events, let alone the broader trends. You just have these amazing changes happening, and yet we don’t talk about them—sometimes because it’s too complex, sometimes because it’s almost too daunting, sometimes because, you know, we’re humans and we would rather just talk about ”American Idol.”
 
  

* Ark of the Covenant:

According to Pauolos, the actual Ark has been kept in one church, but to defend the treasure, a copy was placed in every single church in Ethiopia.

 
“And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith the LORD, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the LORD: neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they visit it; neither shall that be done any more.” Jeremiah 3:16

* Modern humans left Africa over 60,000 years ago in a migration that many believe was responsible for nearly all of the human population that exist outside Africa today.

* More trouble with bizarre creatures in the Amazon.

* Brooke rides in a stroller while her mom shops for clothes in the infant sections of department stores near their home in a Baltimore suburb. That Brooke is in her mid-teens is so mind-bogglingthat if another mother with a toddler asks Greenberg how old Brooke is, she usually doesn’t try to explain.
