Atlantis In Our Backyard?

We've been looking for Atlantis at all the wrong places? Atlantis was a part of Indonesia? And is now at the bottom of the South China Sea? And can anyone be geekier 'bout this than me right now?

Marijuana Kills Leukemia Cells

What an awesome year this has been. And i'm not trying to be sarcastic.

Nov, 2005 - The New Drug Study Group in London discovered that Δ9-THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, works to kill leukemia cells by affecting the gene, MKP3, which may serve as a critical target for new drugs that are less psychoactive and less controversial. -- Affymetrix

Next step; making it legal to smoke.

Top 10 Signs You're A Fundamentalist Christian

Read the warnings on the title this blog before reading this would ya. Don't say you haven't been warned. Kindly brought to you by EvilBible.com.

Top 10 Signs You're A Fundamentalist Christian

10 - You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.

9 - You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem with the Biblical claim that we were created from dirt.

8 - You laugh at polytheists, but you have no problem believing in a Triune God.

7 - Your face turns purple when you hear of the "atrocities" attributed to Allah, but you don't even flinch when hearing about how God/Jehovah slaughtered all the babies of Egypt in "Exodus" and ordered the elimination of entire ethnic groups in "Joshua" including women, children, and trees!

6 - You laugh at Hindu beliefs that deify humans, and Greek claims about gods sleeping with women, but you have no problem believing that the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary, who then gave birth to a man-god who got killed, came back to life and then ascended into the sky.

5 - You are willing to spend your life looking for little loopholes in the scientifically established age of Earth (few billion years), but you find nothing wrong with believing dates recorded by Bronze Age tribesmen sitting in their tents and guessing that Earth is a few generations old.

4 - You believe that the entire population of this planet with the exception of those who share your beliefs -- though excluding those in all rival sects - will spend Eternity in an infinite Hell of Suffering. And yet consider your religion the most "tolerant" and "loving."

3 - While modern science, history, geology, biology, and physics have failed to convince you otherwise, some idiot rolling around on the floor speaking in "tongues" may be all the evidence you need to "prove" Christianity.

2 - You define 0.01% as a "high success rate" when it comes to answered prayers. You consider that to be evidence that prayer works. And you think that the remaining 99.99% FAILURE was simply the will of God.

1 - You actually know a lot less than many atheists and agnostics do about the Bible, Christianity, and church history - but still call yourself a Christian.

Dare you to name a person you know who even remotely resemble these traits. Self-nominations are more than welcomed.

Always Choose Iced

There's this article about how ice water actually burns calories, as compared to warm water. His theory is descriptively plausible, eventhough i have to say that i have a different take to it. But i wouldn't want sound more geekier than i already sound by posting this. So i will just leave it there. Besides, i already lost count what number interesting fact this is.

Arrested No More

What the hell is wrong with Fox? I mean seriously, what is the matter with them? They keep cancelling good shows, and then blame the american public for it's low ratings. Did it ever occur to their puny brains that the problem is in their timeslot schedules? Like how they used to air Tru Calling at the same timeslot as Friends? Fucking morons.

LOS ANGELES, California (Hollywood Reporter) -- Two TV families appear to be getting the boot. The Camdens will bid farewell to viewers in May when the WB Network's top-rated family drama "7th Heaven" ends its run after 10 seasons in what sources said was largely a cost-cutting move. The Bluth clan of Fox's ratings-challenged "Arrested Development" is also headed for the exit after Fox cut the third-season order on the Emmy-winning comedy to 13 episodes. Also getting the ax at Fox is "Arrested's" companion on Monday, the freshman comedy "Kitchen Confidential," whose order will not be extended beyond the initial 13 episodes. -- CNN

Sin City Bar

The concept sounds absolutely cool, cause it's nothing like one of your favourite movies getting a themed bar. You're thinking, "how can this be?" Oh, it has already been done. But of course, with so many strikes, there's bound to be a mishap. Nice comic, nice movie, nice bobies, nice Jessica Alba, nice bar, not so nice and absurdly weird location. Which of course translates to "Japan" in japanese.

50 Cent's Movie Pulled After Murder

So this is probably what happened. They were all lining to exit the theater, and just like how immature star war fans were thrilled, 50's fans were too, except instead toy lightsabers, they were flashing their guns. And a conversation between two men from the hood took place:
"Yo man, this movie was momma bangin"
"Ya man, so tight like yo' momma's ass"
"No man, so bumpin' like your momma"
"No man, yo' momma"
"No man, yo' momma"
"Yo man, why you hav't go and diss ma momma like that?"
"Yo foo, chill"
"No mo' fo', you chill!"
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - A man was shot to death in a cinema lobby shootout after watching gangsta rapper 50 Cent's movie "Get Rich or Die Tryin'," prompting the theater near Pittsburgh to stop showing the film, police said on Friday.

The audience for the highly publicized movie had just spilled into the lobby of the Loews Cineplex at the Waterfront in West Homestead near Pittsburgh on Thursday evening when shots were fired during an argument between four customers, said West Homestead Police Department spokesman Jerald Berger. John McCauley, a spokesman for privately held Loews, said the movie was pulled in that location only as a precaution and that it was unclear whether the shooting was linked to any violence portrayed in the movie.

The R-rated movie is based on Curtis "50-Cent" Jackson's own life which includes drug dealing, time in prison, and getting shot nine times. -- Reuters

Cellphone Bank Robbery

My girlfriend always brags 'bout multi-tasking. Beat this.

WASHINGTON (Nov. 11) - A young woman robbed four banks in Washington's suburbs without ever interrupting conversations on her cell phone, a sheriff's spokesman said on Friday.

In the most recent heist, the woman, with sunglasses casually pushed up on her dark hair and a mobile phone at her ear, walked up to a bank teller in Ashburn, Virginia, on Nov. 4 and opened her purse to show a handgun and a note demanding cash, said Loudoun County sheriff's spokesman Kraig Troxell. The woman is described as well-spoken, with a slight Hispanic accent.

"During the entire sequence, she was on her cell phone," Troxell said by telephone. "When we compared it with other robberies that have occurred in the area, we determined she was involved in three other robberies. ... In those cases, she was also on the cell phone ." -- AOL News

Slick. Except for revealing your face on every security camera at the bank. Link.

Snowman Tees Are In?

Everybody's talking 'bout these snowman t-shirts. I mean, it's t-shirts man, it's just freaking t-shirts.

NEW YORK (AP) -- One of the hottest-selling T-shirts around the country shows a simply drawn snowman with a menacing expression. It's not Frosty's evil twin. The image popularized by drug-dealer-turned-rapper Young Jeezy symbolizes those who sell a white substance known on the street as snow: cocaine. Anti-drug campaigners and education officials are alarmed, saying the T-shirt and others like it are part of sophisticated marketing campaigns using coded symbols for drug culture that parents and teachers are not likely to understand. Some schools are banning kids from wearing the snowman images. -- CNN

See, if they sold the t-shirts pre-packaged with the coke? Now we're talking about a franchise.

Safer Cigarettes To Cut Cancer By 90%

Hell, are you fucking kidding me? The first time i read this, I cried. This is like the best news i've heard of this entire year.

November 06, 2005 -- BRITISH American Tobacco (BAT) is to launch a controversial “safer cigarette” designed to cut the risk of smoking-related diseases such as cancer and heart failure by up to 90%.

The cigarettes use tobacco treated to produce lower levels of cancer-causing chemicals. They also incorporate a new type of filter said to remove more of the remaining toxins.

The company wants to launch the cigarettes in 2006 but has kept the move secret, knowing it would infuriate anti-smoking groups. -- The Sunday Times, Britain

Just want to mention that I, in no way think that smoking is cool. It just looks cool.

Spidey 3 Villain Confirmed

Sony Pictures confirmed (because they had to) that Filnt Marko a.k.a Sandman will be played by Oscar® Nominee Thomas Haden Church (that guy in Sideways), a month after Kirsten accidently implied that the Hobgoblin, Sandman and.......... "VENOM" (just saying that makes me want to skeet in my pants) will be villains in the upcoming movie Spider-man 3. Still no news 'bout the part played by Topher Grace except for, duh!, one of the best supervillains ever existed in the history of the entire comic universe.

100 Monkeys Tales

Do you believe in collective consciousness? That on a subconscious level, we all share the same primal feelings, driven by a universal force of action?
Well i dont. That was why when i first heard this amusing story, i was understandably a skeptic. I mean monkeys sharing thoughts?
The story , or some claim legend, goes like this. Once upon a time, there lived monkeys in 2 islands off Japan. These monkeys must hv been charmers because the people who lived in a third island developed a liking for them. These good people started throwing plums for the monkeys to snack on. The monkeys on both islands loved the plums, but they found the sand that stuck to the plum to be annoying and hard to remove. One day a smart monkey on one of the isalnd(a female, of course), found that she could enjoy the plum without the sand by washing it in the water. She taught her mates (who i bet claimed later on that the idea was theirs, typical) and family. The word spread and very soon a lot of monkeys followed suit.
Now lets say there were already 99 monkeys on the island who washed the sand off the plum. When monkey number 100 learned this trick, something extraordinary took place. Very soon all the monkeys started washing the plums. And whats more, all the monkeys from the other island who never knew of this trick berfore were washing their plums too. It was as if all the monkeys in both islands developed an ideological breakthrough.
The theory is that once a critical number of members of a species acquires a knowledge this knowledge is somehow communicated to the collective mind of the species. You gotta admit, real or hoax this is an interesting theory. Imagine if it were true. If there were enough smart ppl in the world, we all would know be nuclear scientist. Enough dumb people and we all would be George Bushes.
But what if there were a critical number of smart people, but also a critical number of dumb people? Would we all be nuclear scientist who were Gearge Bushes? Now thats a scary thought.

Synthetic Trees

Just great. More reasons to chop down trees.

Columbia University -- A scientist has invented an artificial tree designed to do the job of plants. But the synthetic tree proposed by Dr Klaus Lackner does not much resemble the leafy variety. "It looks like a goal post with Venetian blinds," said the Columbia University physicist. But the synthetic tree would do the job of a real tree, he said. It would draw carbon dioxide out of the air, as plants do during photosynthesis, but retain the carbon and not release oxygen. If built to scale, according to Dr Lackner, synthetic trees could help clean up an atmosphere grown heavy with carbon dioxide, the most abundant gas produced by humans and implicated in climate warming. He predicts that one synthetic tree could remove 90,000 tonnes of CO2 in a year - the emissions equivalent of 15,000 cars. "It can be a thousand times better than a living tree," he said. -- BBC News

I only wished that he could also come up with a comment that's a thousand times less shallow than that.
