Cassini detection adds to Enceladus liquid water story	blinded by science

"Scientists working on the Cassini space mission have found negatively charged water ions in the ice plume of Enceladus. Their findings, based on analysis from data taken in plume fly-throughs in 2008 and reported in the journal Icarus, provide evidence for the presence of liquid water, which suggests the ingredients for life inside the icy moon. The Cassini plasma spectrometer, used to gather this data, also found other species of negatively charged ions including hydrocarbons."

7 Centuries old Stone Houses in Iran	the "other" pile

These are houses in Iran that were allegedly built 700 years ago. I don’t know much about it but it looks like the houses were carved into stone, unless they molded them out of some cement like material 700 years ago. I would still not want to visit Iran, but these houses are pretty impressive. Comments: 0   Hits: 117   Points: 200963   Vote Now!   [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ]

The Venetian islands locals want to keep to themselves	destinations

Forget the gondolas. Public ferries and buses are the best way to escape the hordes and explore La Serenissima's chain of unspoilt islands     recently discovered another escape route out of La Serenissima that is easily available not just for local inhabitants, but also for visitors who want to explore beyond the museums and churches, beyond Ruskin's "Stones of Venice". All you do is buy an all-day public transport ticket then set off on an adventure that takes you from the steps of the Doge's Palace, across the lagoon to the Lido, and then to the sleepy fishermen's island of Pellestrina, that traverses the wild wetlands of the littoral, with the beaches and nature reserves of the Adriatic on one side, the calm waters of the lagoon on the other. The final leg, on the water bus, delivers you to the ancient port of Chioggia, a charming mini-Venice minus the crowds.

Fulfilling your deep-seated and entirely justified need to mock and belittle fashionable people today is the blog Hipsters Have To Pee, dedicated to collecting pictures of trendy types in fashion photoshoots adopting poses that strongly suggest they're about to lose control of their bladder. This is actually pretty funny, especially if you imagine the dialogue that's happening as each picture is taken. Comments: 0   Hits: 214   Points: 197096   Rating: 7.5 / 6   [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ]

MyDavidCameron	government

One way in which MyDavidCameron differs from most political sites (besides the fact that it's funny) is that it has a limited shelf-life. Drag it out too long and it will become the Oasis of viral campaigns. With this in mind I've distilled five lessons learned from creating the site, which may help others launching websites and campaigns.     In the three weeks since it launched, it's received 160,000 unique visits and, more significantly, its reach has extended beyond the usual politicos into countless discussion forums such as Mumnets, all sorts of football supporters networks, music and clubbing websites, and mainstream entertainment sites like Popbitch.     Make your own David Cameron poster Comments: 0   Hits: 40   Points: 196837   Vote Now!   [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ]

Sinatra Song Often Strikes Deadly Chord	current events

“I used to like ‘My Way,’ but after all the trouble, I stopped singing it,” ... “You can get killed.”     The authorities do not know exactly how many people have been killed warbling “My Way” in karaoke bars over the years in the Philippines, or how many fatal fights it has fueled. But the news media have recorded at least half a dozen victims in the past decade and includes them in a subcategory of crime dubbed the “My Way Killings.”     The killings have produced urban legends about the song and left Filipinos groping for answers. Are the killings the natural byproduct of the country’s culture of violence, drinking and machismo? Or is there something inherently sinister in the song?     Whatever the reason, many karaoke bars have removed the song from their playbooks. And the country’s many Sinatra lovers...are practicing self-censorship out of perceived self-preservation... Comments: 0   Hits: 66   Points: 189641   Rating: 9.6 / 6   [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ]

Closer inspection of a photo of Sarah Palin, during a speech in which she mocked President Obama for his use of a teleprompter, reveals several notes written on her left hand. The words "Energy", "Tax" and "Lift American Spirits" are clearly visible. There's also what appears to read as "Budget cuts" with the word Budget crossed out.     With pics.
