A CME hits Mercury--and maybe something else?

A coronal mass ejection hit Mercury at the beginning of December.. When it did, it was captured on video, along with a mystery object some called a UFO or alien mothership—but an object others in the science community say may very well be a trick of the camera .. What do you think?

Herpes ... by Calvin Klein?


In love?
The scent of sexual attraction may be something you’re actually trying to avoid: STDs!

Yes indeed, Russian scientists say taking a big whiff of love and lust and who you find attractive may actually have more to do with the scent of sexually transmitted diseases than anything else..

The research concluded, according to the Russians, that women found men with sexual diseases to be much less attractive than those who didn’t.. they described the men with gonorrhea as having putrid smells.

So how did the Russians find their samples? It couldn’t be more simple:
Then they found 18 female students aged 17 to 20 from Kemerovo State University in Russia who were willing to serve as sweat-sniffers. They obtained sweat samples by dressing the men in tight-fitting T-shirts with cotton pads sewn into the armpits. After an hour of sweating, men bagged their shirts and the pads were placed in glass vials for the women to sniff.

The timeless odor of love. Sex. And STDs. 

So there you go, ladies, sniff away. Maybe you’ll get lucky and find a clean man..

Is there a correlation between earthquakes and hurricanes?





According to the new report (and potentially new science that needs to be investigated), by dumping rain and causing landslides, hurricanes can change the weight of the Earth in tectonically-stressed regions, releasing loads that had been keeping the faults locked in tight.. and therefore, earthquakes may actually occur as a result. 

Amazing stuff.. truly amazing.

Americans to Gitmo?

Amazibg developments occurring in the United States Senate.. A provision in the Defense Reauthorization bill introduced by Senator John McCain and Carl Levin give the Executive Branch of government increased power to classify American citizens on the homeland 'enemy' combatants and charge them with terrorism--or not charge them at all and hold them indefinitely. The ACLU and others strongly oppose the measure.

Last night, and amendment to change that portion of the bill failed and it remains now..it is going to be voted on by the full Senate.

Debate yesterday occurred between John McCain and Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, who states that American citizens could even end up at Guantanamo Bay under a strict interpretation of the language..

The White House has threatened to veto the bill if the controversial language remains--something some analysts doubt since many other important defense elements will be included..

All eyes now on the Senate, where McCain says the youthful Kentucky Senator doesn't understand the danger and Paul says the ancient Arizona Senator doesn't understand the bill of rights..

High drama expected..

Hunt in the wild: Shopping in America, 2011


Screen cap from YouTube 
Cops keeping the peace.. perhaps pepper spray would have been better in this story, where police slammed a grandfather to the ground at a WalMart, leaving him unconscious and bloody.. And his crime, you ask? People got rowdy in the game section. The man’s grandson got trampled, so he put the video game he was holding in his waistband in order to free up his hands and lift the boy out of the crowd… and then the cops moved in, slamming the grandfather’s head against the concrete floor.


This story could disturb anyone's holiday spirit.

…mayhem and misery is the only thing being found in the stories being reported about Black Friday, along with $2 waffle makers.


“All of a sudden, you see this little boy run up and wailing and yelling, ‘Grandpa, Grandpa,’ and crying his eyes out”


And now, thankfully for Youtube, people can view the actions of the police and decide if they were justified.. 

Heads slamming..facing mashing.. deals bashing. Shop, shop, shop, like no one cares.. party like it's 1999.

So this is Christmas

And what have you done? Shot a good neighbor.. in a store on the run?

The Christmas shopping season mayhem began Black Friday, for better or worse. In many cases worse.


The season actually began a bit earlier this year than others--many big box stores opened their doors late in the evening on Thanksgiving night. Before leftovers were even cleaned off tables, people in sweatpants and pajamas were shopping in long lines.  


And in many instances, they had to deal with violence and fellow shoppers acting out.

In Los Angeles, a women pepper sprayed other shoppers who she wanted to keep away from the Xbox that she wanted.

There were scuffles over $2 waffle makers, shootings, and people stomping on others including children.

While stores are now saying that there were record shoppers on Black Friday, it's questionable as to what the immediate "black" margin of profit they will get. Some stores offered 70% discounts.. others had just as many bargains as shoppers. More shoppers does not always equal more profit.

But it did equal more headline news and fodder for comics who are ready to laugh at shoppers--or other nations ready to mock the West's constant hunt for bargains and material items. Items that the Eastern world make under duress or just a dollar a day.

NEW FEARS OF EURO FAILURE-- AND WHAT IT COULD LEAD TO IF IT COLLAPSES

AFP Photo/Thomas Lohnes
The European economy continues to travel down a rocky path.. But now the British government is privately warning of a Euro break up -- and  riots. According to TELEGRAPH reporter James Kirkup, the Treasury in Britain confirmed earlier in November that contingency plans began to be made for a collapse and unrest.

Embassies have been instructed to prepare for significant issues. Some of those issues include the possibility that in the not too distant future, a citizen will not even be able to withdraw cash.

The nightmare scenarios may appear unlikely, but the fears coupled with news of Italy's impending collapse and the Euro's constant troubles, it gets easier to imagine a world where these financial failures could occur.

The shock waves of such an event would surely bring a heavy weight across the world. The albatross of bad investments and debt will cause other nations to suffer the same pain that the UK would deal with. 

Unemployment rates along with a bad financial mess, bank failures, and a breakdown of government order. This, again, is the very real fear in Europe, and it's tough to assume that any economic breakdown would not lead to violent consequences or  a collapse, whole or part, in social order.
