Dodgy Fox News Geography

The Fox news graphic department may need to brush up on it’s Middle East geography. Is that Egypt or Iraq? Hmm…

Amazing Rain Sound By Clapping

This group has got their performance down to a tee. They are able to simulate the sound of rain just by clapping their hands. If you close your eyes and just listen to the audio, you’d think it really was rain. Great job guys!

Holy Burger Grease

Images of Jesus and the Virgin Mary seem to have been appearing in the most unusual of places as of late. The most recent spotting was when a builder from Yorkshire, England, noticed the face of Jesus Christ in a baking tray which he had used to cook a burger for his dinner.

I’m just amazed at the detail of that grease. The odds of it forming like that are incredible. Well spotted!

Unexplainable Bright Spot Found On Venus

An intense bright spot has appeared on Venus and astronomers are not sure what it is or what has caused it.

Amateur astronomer Frank Melillo of Holtsville, New York, first spotted the new feature, which is brighter than its surroundings at ultraviolet wavelengths, on the planet’s southern hemisphere on 19 July. That same day, an amateur observer in Australia found a dark spot on Jupiter that had been caused by a meteoroid impact.

Is this another clue towards the much speculated 2012 doomsday? With unusual things occurring on Venus and Jupiter could Earth be next?

Ghost Buster 1954 Trailer

What if Ghost Busters had been made 30 years earlier…?

Who should be part of the cast? Would they have the same equipment? Who would they battle? Considering Dan Aykroyd’s concept owes a lot to Bob Hope, Abbott and Costello, and Lewis and Martin comedies of the 40s and 50s, it is not that big of a stretch to speculate.

Pepsi VS Coke Logo Evolution

Are you a Pepsi or a Coke person…or can’t you tell the difference?

Does the logo even matter that much? Will a bad logo stop you from drinking Pepsi? I mean, the drink is always stays the same…Maybe I’m naive.

Strong Perfume Knocks Out 34

It was assumed that carbon monoxide or another toxic substance had entered the building when a large group of Texas call center workers started feeling sick and dizzy, however it turned out later that a particularly strong brand of perfume was to blame.

34 people from a Bank of America call centre in Fort Worth were taken to hospital in total, after suffering dizziness and shortness of breath, while another 100 were treated at the scene.

When fire crews examined the building, they found no signs of a gas leak or harmful substances, instead workers then realized they started feeling ill just after a colleague had sprayed perfume.

Now I know that some perfume can be unpleasant, but that’s just crazy! It reminds me of the Mr Bean sketch where he almost dies walking through the cosmetics section of a department store. Ever had a similar experience?
