Scientists in Peru are investigating a deep crater created by a meteorite strike in the remote southeast of the country.

More than 200 local people are reported to have become ill after visiting the site.

Our reporter Nick Olle says that since the meteorite hit, locals have been complaining of headaches, vomiting and nausea.

Hundreds of people say they were overcome by a strange odour when they went to the site after the fireball fell to earth on Saturday.

Seven policemen who went to check on the reports also fell ill and there have been several reported animal deaths.

Specialist teams have begun to arrive at the crater to collect samples.

Super Close Map Zooms!

Super-Close Google Maps Zooms

Holy moly that is a close up zoom of a camel (see my screenshot above) – and it works for other place on Google Maps too! Yes, it turns out that you can zoom in much more deeply onto Google Maps by doing this:

Select a location and switch to satellite view
Zoom in as far as you can, and click “link to this page” at the top right
Now replace the “z” parameter in the URL with a higher value, e.g. 20, 22, or 23, and wait. Some locations will now show more detailed imagery

Playing water ping pong.

It seems he’s looking into the camera, actually.
This is a rare zoom level 23, almost (already?) creating privacy issues people joked about earlier.

Nobody’s in the Googleplex pool.

Relaxing at the beach.

In bed my real love has always been the sleep that rescued me by allowing me to dream.

"Super Earth" Found In Space

clipper's remarks: I can't wait until we can colonize it!

Clip Source: news.bbc.co.uk

Astronomers have found the most Earth-like planet outside our Solar System to date, a world which could have water running on its surface.

New 'super-Earth' found in space

The planet orbits the faint star Gliese 581, which is 20.5 light-years away in the constellation Libra.

They say the benign temperatures on the planet mean any water there could exist in liquid form, and this raises the chances it could also harbour life.

He believes the planet may now become a very important target for future space missions dedicated to the search for extra-terrestrial life.

However, given that the host star is smaller and colder than the Sun - and thus less luminous - the planet nevertheless lies in the "habitable zone", the region around a star where water could be liquid.

"Obviously this newly discovered planet and its companions in the Gliese 581 system will become prominent targets for missions like Esa's Darwin and Nasa's Terrestrial planet Finder when they fly in about a decade."

Supposedly somewhere in the states there were these two ugly lesbian chicks sitting in the theater to watch 300, and they wouldn't shut up and it really pissed off the guy standing behind them. When the movie started, they stood up saying "Hey this isn't the right movie." The guy jumped up and scream "This is Sparta!" and kicked one of them down the stairs. And now he's getting sued lol.

Quotes Of Confucius

clipper's remarks: These are the quotes of the all famous Confucius!

Clip Source: www.brainyquote.com

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

A superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions.

Ability will never catch up with the demand for it.

An oppressive government is more to be feared than a tiger.

And remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without.

By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.

Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.

Death and life have their determined appointments; riches and honors depend upon heaven.

Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.

Faced with what is right, to leave it undone shows a lack of courage.

Go before the people with your example, and be laborious in their affairs.

He who learns but does not think, is lost! He who thinks but does not learn is in great danger.

Heaven means to be one with God.

clipper's remarks: Recognize a stroke.

Clip Source: www.strokeawareness.org

STROKE: Remember The 1st Three Letters...

RECOGNIZING A STROKE:

Remember the "3" steps.

Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.

Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:

S *Ask the individual to SMILE.
T *Ask the person to TALK, to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE.
(Coherently) (i.e. . . It is sunny out today?
R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.

NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out their tongue . if the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other, that is also an indication of a stroke.

If he or she has trouble with any one of these tasks, call 911 immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

How to use footprint test

Mon, 11 Dec 2006 23:15:53 GMT

clipped by: Rocher
clipper's remarks: I find this interesting. I have normal feet =D

Clip Source: www.wikihow.com

Dunk your feet in water or paint.
Walk on cardboard and make sure you have a clear print of your foot. Can you see the entire silhouette of your foot, or is it more of an outline, with just heels and toes showing?
Normal Foot
Look for the classic "footprint in the sand" footprint. There will be a noticeable curve inward, but not by more than 3/4 of an inch at its greatest part. If this is the kind of silhouette your foot makes, then you have normal feet. Otherwise...
Flat Foot
Check to see if the entire foot shows. Your footprint will look like a foot-shaped blob. There will be almost no inward curve from your big toe to your heel; there may even be an outward curve. This means that you've got flat feet. If your footprint looks like neither, then...
High Arch Foot
See if your footprint curves decidedly inward, making the middle of your foot look very skinny. Your toe and heel show, but there is little in between. If this is the case, you probably have a high arch foot.
Shop for shoes that best fit your foot type.
- Normal Feet - Stability shoes offer a good blend of cushioning, medial support (to limit excessive inward rolling of the foot, which can cause injury) and durability. To provide stability, they have features that provide a firmer density under the inner edge of your foot. They are usually built on a semi-curved last.
- Flat Feet - Motion control shoes are the most rigid, control-oriented running shoes. They're designed to slow down or limit extreme inward rolling of the foot and ankle, which can cause injury. These are heavier but very durable.
- High Arched Feet - Cushioned shoes generally have the softest mid-soles and the least added stability. They’re usually built semi-curved or curved to encourage foot motion, which is helpful for runners who have rigid, immobile feet.
