Either we're all doomed, or these guys are going to feel pretty stupid on May 16th.

Boy shoots fireballs from his eyes - mattJan 16, 2003

Boy Shoots fireballs from eyes

A nine-year-old boy, Igor Nogovitsin from the settlement of Vychegodsky of the Kotlass district in Russia’s Arkhangelsk region revealed supernatural powers. Many witnesses saw the boy produce fire balls with his eyes; the balls set clothes, furniture and domestic appliances on fire.

Boris Bobylev says that the boy considers himself the cause of the ignitions, as “there are red balls in his eyes and in the head, the balls spring out and set everything on fire.” Relatives of the boy say that not long before the fire they saw a bright red glow similar to a laser ray going from the boy. This unusual glow was flying about the house chaotically, sometimes it split into several small particles. When it touched the furniture, everything was on fire. Several days ago Igor told his mother that he saw blue and green balls, but the woman believed it was a joke.

As far as I can tell, this site is legit, pretty scary.

Hundreds of the objects were captured on film by the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (Soho), a spacecraft a million miles from Earth observing the sun.

The glowing, saucer-shaped "craft" were apparently moving in a way that suggested intelligent control.

Nasa originally dismissed the images as being the result of a camera fault, and will not now comment on them.

The Art & Science of Billboard Improvement

Look up! Billboards have become as ubiquitous as human suffering, as difficult to ignore as a beggar's outstretched fist. Every time you leave your couch or cubicle, momentarily severing the electronic umbilicus, you enter the realm of their impressions. Larger than life, subtle as war, they assault your senses with a complex coda of commercial instructions, the messenger RNA of capitalism. Every time you get in a car, or ride a bus, or witness a sporting event, you receive their instructions. You can't run and you can't hide, because your getaway route is lined to the horizon with signs, and your hidey-hole has a panoramic view of an 8-sheet poster panel.

How to hack a billboard, from your friends at The Billboard Liberation Front.
  
Real life Predator??? - mattJan 13, 2003

Paranormal Researchers Discover Real-Life `Predator`

In the 1987 film "Predator," Arnold Schwarzenegger encounters an invisible alien which only becomes visible to humans in rain or fog.

Now researchers in Dunstable, England, have discovered a type of ghostly entity that does the exact same thing.

Ross Hemsworth, who heads up the so-called Phantom or Fraud Project, says the spooks can only be seen when sprayed with water -- whether it's artificially generated or genuine London fog.

Bathroom Mania - mattJan 5, 2003

Bathroom Mania is an illustrative new line of sanitary products by Dutch illustrator and designer Meike van Schijndel.

With these innovative and playful designs, she dazzlingly transforms the bathroom experience, giving a whole new meaning to the term "total relaxation". Today's hectic world doesn't usually allow much opportunity or time for our fantasies, but 'Bathroom Mania!'s designs help us to let our minds relax and drift off to another, imaginitive world.

Bathroom Mania!'s designs create a fantasy-world in the bathroom by working on images and impressions. Images of flowery freshness with the flowerpot-toilet, of a holiday atmosphere with the beachhut-shower, of tropical relaxation with the hammock-bath, of fun with singing in the bathroom: the mouth-mirror with mike-tap. And then there is the urinal, a tantalizing impression, a light hint of sex...

It showed a 30-centimeter (11.7-inch) long, 5 cm wide surgical retractor, used to hold incisions open, had been left in her abdomen after surgery four months earlier at the Regina General Hospital.

Prostitue Barbie???

Barbie has long been a symbol of childhood innocence, but last night the celebrity doll was branded a scarlet woman. Children's groups in the West hit out at the producer Mattel for making its new doll look like a common prostitute. It is feared the lingerie and suspender-clad Barbie would corrupt young girls. And campaigners say it is the latest in a worrying trend that has seen companies using sex to market products to youngsters. Mattel claims that the doll is aimed at adults and not for children's use.

Little does Mattel know that Digitalmeca.com has exposed Barbie already!

When one of them dies, the other three focus on fulfilling the last wish: a webcam inside the coffin that will broadcast the process of his decomposition live on the web. Visitors to the site can use a temperature regulator to speed the process up or slow it down.

The kilt comes in five styles, in heavy-duty materials including 12-ounce duck cloth and military grade rivets, and ranges from $110 for the original style to a $550 tuxedo kilt. Customers typically wait six to eight weeks for the handmade garments. "A lot of people who buy Utilikilts are strong leaders, pioneers in their fields," Villegas says of such kilt wearers as "The Other Half" co-hosts Mario Lopez, Dick Clark and Danny Bonaduce; members of the Irish band Brother; and members of the punk rock band Tomato Head.

Hermits in Japan - mattOct 26, 2002

Teenage boys in Japan's cities are turning into modern hermits - never leaving their rooms. Pressure from schools and an inability to talk to their families are suggested causes

I knew him only as the boy in the kitchen. His mother, Yoshiko, wouldn't tell me his name, fearful that neighbours in this Tokyo suburb might discover her secret. Her son is 17 years old. Three years ago he was unhappy in school and began to play truant. Then one day, he walked into the family's kitchen, shut the door and refused to leave.

One psychologist has described the condition as an "epidemic", which now claims more than a million sufferers in their late teens and twenties.

Speaking on his flying visit to the UAE to lecture at the conference on 'Future of genetic engineering and debate on cloning programmes throughout the world' held here at the Zayed Centre for Co-ordination and Follow-Up, Dr Antinori revealed: "Our project is at a very advanced stage. One woman among the thousands of infertile couples in the programme is eight weeks pregnant."

Plus, this volume knob is illuminated from below which gets brighter as you turn the volume up. Very cool. (You can see a Wired.Com article about it Here)
