Video: Former Canadian Defence Minister says aliens warned us about the environment
This is just too bizarre. Former Canadian defence minister Paul Hellyer – and by former I mean 1963 – believes aliens have been making contact with humans for years and have been warning us about the environment. He says humans have always fired on alien craft rather than attempt to approach their inhabitants and understand them.
In a speech (see video below) , Hellyer said: "Decades ago, visitors from other planets warned us about where we were headed and offered to help. But instead we, or at least some of us, interpreted their visits as a threat, and decided to shoot first and ask questions after."
Must be the cold Canadian winters ....

Small nuclear war could spark global cooling - end global warming
Nukes to the rescue? Not quite. From National Geographic:
" Even a regional nuclear war could spark "unprecedented" global cooling and reduce rainfall for years, according to U.S. government computer models. Widespread famine and disease would likely follow, experts speculate.
To see what climate effects such a regional nuclear conflict might have, scientists from NASA and other institutions modeled a war involving a hundred Hiroshima-level bombs, each packing the equivalent of 15,000 tons of TNT—just 0.03 percent of the world's current nuclear arsenal. "
Then again, maybe global warming isn't that bad.

Creepy: How to really, really piss people off - bench implants advertising on thighs
I have to guess this is really pissing off he peeps in Auckland, New Zealand. Bad enough they are dealing with the horrific earthquake in Christchurch, now they have to put up with advertising being imprinted on their thighs! Superette, a boutique chain, wanted to promote its short shorts sale. Their ad agency came up with this gem.
From ad agency DDB: "We put indented plates on bus stop, mall, and park benches, so that when people sat down, the message was imprinted on their thighs. This meant that as well as having branded seats, a veritable army of free media was created, with thousands of imprints being created and lasting up to an hour."
Tom Cruise on Chinese twitter - now he's their Scientology problem
Is Cruise is the first Hollywood star to join the Sina Microblog, a Twitter knockoff service in China? My bet is yes.
From Cruise on Twitter (the wacky Scientologist) “We’re having fun talking to you & our new friends at http://t.sina.com.cn/ It’s the Chinese Twitter, but with a lot more functionality, CIO.”
I guess they haven't heard of Scientology in China – yet.

Video: Solar flare porn
From Nasa: "When a rather large M 3.6 class flare occurred near the edge of the Sun on Feb. 24, 2011, it blew out a gorgeous, waving mass of erupting plasma that swirled and twisted for 90 minutes. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured the event in extreme ultraviolet light. Because SDO images are high definition, the team was able to zoom in on the flare and still see exquisite details. And using a cadence of a frame taken every 24 seconds, the sense of motion is, by all appearances, seamless. "

FBI trashes $750,000 Ferrari and won't pay up
Image by TGIGreeny via FlickrThe car was originally stolen from a Pennsylvania dealership in 2003. The dealership submitted a claim and was paid by the insurance company. Five years later the FBI located the car and stored it pending prosecution of the thief. It seems at that point the FBI took the sports car out for a spin and oops .... The feds have refused to pay up, so the insurance company is suing.
Could that agent be named Nicholas Cage?

Toddler locked in bank vault for four hours (or a diabolical underworld plot involving midget?)
A 14-month-old girl was locked in a bank vault in Georgia for four hours. The vault was time-locked and thus difficult to open once the girl became trapped. She had wandered away from her mother and grandmother and walked into the back vault unseen by bank employees. When the vault door was closed for the weekend, the child became trapped. Fresh air had to be pumped in to the crying child while a locksmith opened the vault. Police Chief Gene Wilson called it a "very tense scene" . The toddler was freed unharmed. Could this have been a diabolical underworld plot involving a midget? Better check the safety deposit boxes!
