Area 51 Review on Google Maps
Google Maps lets users submit reviews for different locations, including the mysterious Area 51 in Nevada. Most people seem to be displeased with the customer service found there. I would not blame them :p
Superhero Fail
There are so many fails I almost don’t know where to start! It half advertised Batman… half Spider-Man. But it actually is Superman. So… what they are saying is that Spider-Man and Batman are actually Superman in real life!?! It all suddenly makes sense! Spider-Man’s web was just a hoax to hide his flying abilities and Batman’s technology was a cover for his super strength! Thanks strange confused toy designer!

H2O: Dangerous Chemical!
A student at Eagle Rock Junior High won first prize at the Greater Idaho Falls Science Fair, April 26. He was attempting to show how conditioned we have become to alarmists practicing junk science and spreading fear of everything in our environment. In his project he urged people to sign a petition demanding strict control or total elimination of the chemical “dihydrogen monoxide.”
And for plenty of good reasons, since:
- it can cause excessive sweating and vomiting
- it is a major component in acid rain
- it can cause severe burns in its gaseous state
- accidental inhalation can kill you
- it contributes to erosion
- it decreases effectiveness of automobile brakes
- it has been found in tumors of terminal cancer patients
- He asked 50 people if they supported a ban of the chemical.
Forty-three (43) said yes, six (6) were undecided, and only one (1) knew that the chemical was water.
The title of his prize winning project was, “How Gullible Are We?”
He feels the conclusion is obvious.

I found this amazing picture the other day. Somebody figured out how to not only skip a bullet under a plastic bead(?), but also how to time it just right and get a super fast shutter speed. Very impressive:
