I can't believe the baby survived the birth.
This is certainly something you can tell your grandkids when you were born.

The worst allergy
Nothing can be possibly worse than being allergic to water. Note that this is an EXTREMELY rare type of allergy.

Bird boy
Does this mean that he can communicate with birds?
How does a 9-year old boy become the leader of a pack of dogs?
There needs to be some National Geographic feature on these people.

Mock gunman terrifies students
Dumbest University of the year goes to... Elizabeth City State University.
What an extremely irresponsible thing to do.
"the university was testing its response to shootings of the sort that have shaken campuses around the country"
Testing the response? The predictability of a response from the shooting is about as predictable as weather. What if some student jumped off a window and died? What kind of responsibility would the University have? Negligence resulting in death that's what. What if the mock gunman was killed by some student in self defense? There are just so many things that could've gone wrong.

US Shoots down falling Satellite
If you aren't aware, there was a US military satellite that malfunctioned shortly after deployment, and would eventually fall back into Earth. No one knew where it was going to land, so the US military thought it was best to just shoot it out of the sky.
Which they just did.
I've heard that the trajectory of the falling debris goes right into Canada. Some speculate that it might land in Vancouver.
Hopefully our neighbors have done some thorough research, and not have done something so irresponsible. If the debris does cause collateral damage, who's responsible?

Evolution as a "Scientific Thoery" in Florida.
Apparently, the Florida education officials have finally allowed Evolution to be taught in school curriculums.
WELCOME TO THE 20TH CENTURY FLORIDA!
Unfortunately, a compromise had to be made, and Evolution must always be mentioned as "Scientific Theory of Evolution". This is appease the conservatives and religious zealots that are against Evolution.
It is now the 21st century, and Evolution is still a "debate" in the USA. When will the Americans understand that Evolution is no longer a controversy among biologists? The general consensus is that it is a FACT.
Need proof of evolution? Watch bacteria grow. Better yet, buy yourself a dog.
Florida will teach evolution, but only as theory

Rumour: Toshiba to drop HD-DVD, shares up 6 percent.
A rumour is circling that Toshiba is about to drop it's HD-DVD format, a concession of defeat to Sony's Blu-Ray. A representative from Toshiba claims that no decisions have been made, but they are revising their plans.
Despite the fact that it is a rumour, Toshiba shares are up 6 percent. Looks like it's pretty obvious what the investors want.

less than 1/3 accept nanotech???
Less than 1/3 of Americans think nanotechnology is morally acceptable.
HOW IS NANOTECHNOLOGY MORALLY "UNACCEPTABLE"? Nanotechnology is just a technology, you might as well say tvs, computers, cellphones morally acceptable.
Religion Colors Americans' Views Of Nanotechnology

Organic Hydrocarbon on Titan
Apparently, they've found more oil in each of the many lakes/seas found on Titan (one of Saturn's moons) than all of Earth's oil fields/reserves/etc combined. The temperature, being -179C, means that Titan has SEAS and LAKES of oil!
The question arises however, if the oil on Earth was created from dead animals/plants through millions of years, how did Titan get all those "organic" hydrocarbons?

What does it take to be a doctor nowadays?
Deaf boy regains hearing after 9 years.
Makes you wonder how effective the process for qualifying doctors really are. So called specialists can't even diagnose a case of "cotton bud stuck in ear". Sometimes, you look really far when things are just right in front of you...

Not so smart...
A chinese court has ordered a holiday resort and a crocodile keeper to pay the parents of Liu HaiYang 220,000 yuan ($30,600USD) after HaiYang was eaten by crocodiles. Full Article
I think the court was wrong, not on the amount but on the verdict. It seems, HaiYang and a group of friends climbed OVER the fence surrounding the pool and began beating the crocodiles with sticks. Now, it shouldn't take a genius to know NOT to get into a pool full of crocodiles... One of the crocodiles (obviously more than a little irritated by the unjustified beating it was getting) manages to catch HaiYang's clothes, and drag him into the pool, where the rest of the crocodile joined in the feeding...
Now why on EARTH would you get near a pool of crocodiles and then BEAT them with sticks? Obviously they aren't scared of the crocodiles... but WHY aren't they scared of them?
I think that with all the Chinese censorships, those stupid kids obviously haven't seen enough National Geographic to fully appreciate how deadly crocodiles are; that or the the late Steve Irwin (rest his soul) did too good of a job subduing crocodiles, that these kids think they could do the same... although i don't recall Steve ever beating those crocodiles.
On a final note, I feel sorry for the crocodile keeper now that he has to kill his crocodile and pay a hefty fine, for the actions of a stupid ignorant kid and a stupid and ignorant government... damn communists, just look at what you've done

The reality of a religious state
Here's a perfect example of why politics and the legal system should not mix with religion.
A student at Balkh University was sentenced to death last October for downloading and distributing an article that criticisms the treatment of women rights in Islamic states.
The RIAA and the MPAA are nothing next to the Sharia....
