In the name of the Lucas, the Spielberg, and the Holy Cameron…
- The ‘centenarian gene’ is nothing but God’s twisted idea of a lottery ticket.
- Petersburg Communists demand James Cameron to be arrested, for being the ‘plunderer of Soviet science fiction’. You know you’re doing something right when you make people on BOTH sides of the political seesaw mad [More].

- Allan Hobson: the agent provocateur in the neuroscience of dreaming. ‘Dreaming: An Introduction to the Science of Sleep’ [Amazon US & UK].
- In space, no one can hear you scream… or flush. Are ISS astronauts losing bone mass everytime they take a leak?

- In ancient Egypt, makeup was not just for beauty alone.

Big thanks to Rick, Kat & Neytiri.
Quote of the Day:
“Yes, I have received offers from many countries for many cinema films, television documentaries. I have received book offers. I want to write the PERFECT BIBLE. And I say that the Bible which I write and the Vatican Bible should be studied by the American science academy and the Japanese science academy. If as a result of that, it is not said that Agca’s Bible is not more superior to the Vatican bible, more logical and scientific, my Bible should be cast into the rubbish bin of history. I give my word to the world that within a few years I will prove with concrete historical documents that I am Agca the MESSIAH. The world should wait and see.”
Mehmet Ali Agca
