Undiscovered Tribe a Hoax?
I posted earlier about an undiscovered tribe of people in the Brazilian jungle. Turns out its not as impressive as it sounds. It might even be a hoax. More over at Boing Boing.

Ice? wOOt!
The Mars Rover discovered water ice on the surface of Mars. This is one of the biggest discoveries in the history of the space program I would have to imagine. Start here at the LAist for the story, including why I used wOOt in the title.

When do I get an apology? Highest disapproval rating ever!
When I make a mistake, I eventually swallow my pride and own up to it. When will myself and the other (more than) half of the country get an apology from all those people that voted for Bush, elected him, and even worse, voted for him again??
His approval ratings are now at an all time low according to polls, bottoming out at 24%. That is one point away from the all time lowest ever recorded low for Truman, but we've still got some time left. But, his disapproval rating have already shattered records, with an all time of recorded history high of 69%. Some of this is detailed in this Gallup video.
Question: who exactly are these 24% of the population that somehow haven't accepted the fact that Bush will almost undoubtedly go down as the worst American president ever? Maybe the top 1% that got their taxes reduced under, but everyone else? I suspect they are those people that haven't swallowed their pride, and admitted that they quite seriously screwed the pooch.
FYI. We won't hold it against you, if you won't do it again with McBush.

5 superpowers that could be yours!
Apparently, according to this very trustworthy site (ahem), science will give us five superpowers in our lifetime. A number of them have to do with my favorite past time, Nanotechnology (coincidence? I think not). The list, modeled closely after the abilities of some of your favorite super heroes, is pretty entertaining. Can you guess the superhero?
5. Technologically advanced battle suit
4. Telekinesis
3. Web slinging and wall climbing (too easy)
2. Fast healing wounds via tissue regeneration
1. Invisibility
Check out the explanations.
