"WILL THE BANANA BECOME EXTINCT?"

Adios, Banana: Why Future Generations Will Likely Never Taste One of Our Favorite Fruits

It’s less sensational news than skyrocketing food and oil prices, but the beloved yellow banana may soon disappear forever. Bananas are even more heavily consumed in many parts of the world than rice or potatoes, but now a fungus called Panama Disease is turning them brick-red and inedible. Here’s the worst part: There is no cure for Panama Disease and it is spreading very quickly. Experts surmise that within the next three decades, the sweet and creamy food staple will be nonexistent.

“The story of how the banana rose and fell can be seen a strange parable about the corporations that increasingly dominate the world – and where they are leading us.”

Thanks to bad corporate behaviour and physical limits, we seem to be at a dead end. The only possible glimmer of hope is a genetically modified banana that can resist Panama Disease. But that is a distant prospect, and it is resisted by many people:

BAD ASS MULE KILLS LION.

Sat, 06 Oct 2007 16:22:00 GMT

clipped by: vk2yoc
clipper's remarks: Hard to believe, but here's the pics.

Clip Source: frostfirezoo.com

The hunter got off the mule with his rifle and decided to shoot in the air to scare away the lion, but before he could get off a shot the lion charged in and decided he wanted a piece of those dogs. With that, the mule took off and decided he wanted a piece of that lion. That's when all hell broke loose... for the lion.

As the lion approached the dogs the mule snatched him up by the tail and started whirling him around. Banging its head on the ground on every pass. Then he dropped it, stomped on it and held it to the ground by the throat. The mule then got down on his knees and bit the thing all over a couple of dozen times to make sure it was dead, than whipped it into the air again, walked back over to the couple (that were stunned in silence) and stood there ready to continue his ride... as if nothing had just happened. Fortunately even though the hunter didn't get off a shot, his wife got off these 4.

LARGE HADRON COLLIDER. Will it destroy the universe?

Wed, 13 Feb 2008 13:42:35 GMT

clipped by: vk2yoc
clipper's remarks: The idea dates back to Einstein's explanation that spacetime can be deformed by large energies or masses. Since the Large Hadron Collider is a twenty-six kilometer ring of superconducting magnets designed to do nothing but give a particle as large an energy as possible, that sounds like it could be an issue. Small deformations in spacetime (like Earth) give us the force of gravity, severe deformations give the cosmological trash compacting black holes, and an extreme case could cause a wormhole - a link between two points as spacetime folds over to touch itself (no sniggering).

Time Travelers: Futurenauts Using Ultra-duper Atomsmasher

The entire particle physics community is counting down to May like it was their birthday, Christmas and the Second Coming of the Lord all wrapped up in a clutch of Superbowls. It's when the Large Hadron Collider comes online, but while most are hoping for data and praying for the bashful Higgs boson to finally show it's tiny little face, some Russian mathematicians are warning that we might get more than we bargained for. Specifically, time-travellers: futurenauts using our ultra-duper atomsmasher to punch a hole in causality and hop back from the future.

Dr Walter Wagner has been campaigning for years to stall the LHC program until someone can convince him that turning it on won't detonate the universe.

He accuses the scientists involved of downplaying the risks, using his own kind of maths to "show" a 10% chance of everything ever going kablooey.

Will Muslim Martyrs Get 72 Raisins Instead of Virgins

Thu, 17 Jan 2008 14:29:33 GMT

clipped by: vk2yoc
clipper's remarks: Was the Koran misinterpreted?

Clip Source: www.dailygalaxy.com

According to an Islam tradition, Muslim martyrs will go to paradise and marry 72 black-eyed virgins. But some Koran scholars point to a less sexy paradise. While beautifully written, Islamic texts are often obscure. The Arabic language was born as a written language with the Koran, and growing evidence suggests that many of the words were Syriac or Aramaic.

Specifically, the Koran says martyrs going to heaven will get “hur,” and the word was taken by early commentators to mean “virgins,” hence those 72 concubines. But in Aramaic, hur actually meant “white” and was commonly used to specifically mean “white grapes.”

The exact number of virgins (or raisins) is not specified in Koran, but the number 72 comes from a quotation of Muhammad recorded in one of the lesser-known Hadith. ("Hadith" is an Arabic word meaning traditions.) After Muhammad's death, several collections of his deeds and sayings were collected to form the Hadith,

Undeniable and Irrevocable Changes to the Global Ecosystem?

Tue, 17 Jun 2008 13:48:11 GMT

clipped by: vk2yoc
clipper's remarks: More and more evidence for Global Warming, is showing up everywhere.

Clip Source: www.dailygalaxy.com

The vast multidisciplinary effort is a directed scientific response to the recent glut of papers claiming that climate change is "natural cycle" this, "standard deviation" that and various other cow manures that might as well be printed in the "Journal of Petrochemical Industry Funded Distractions."

It turns out that when a global species of six billion animals decides to base their entire society on burning stuff, it affects the environment. Who knew? While effects like the the collapse of the Ross ice shelf is only truly terrifying to those specifically trained to understand the implications, others are less negligible. Certain species of mosquito have undergone genetic shifts to survive, and I'm sorry, but when even the unkillable curse that is the mosquito has to mutate to survive what you've done it's a great big warning sign.

Climate change is not "controversial". Climate change is happening, violently, now, and what are we going to do about it*?

How to properly hug a baby.

clipper's remarks: They don't come much cuter than this.

Clip Source: www.dnaco.net

If you think you've spotted a baby, verify by employing classic sniffing techniques. Baby powder is a dead giveaway.

Flatten the baby before actually beginning the hugging process.

Simply slide paws around baby and prepare for possible close-up.

If a camera is present, you will need to execute the difficult and patented hug, smile, and lean in order to achieve the best photo quality.
