That was one small step for a Charolastra, one giant leap for Mexican filmmakers.

Thanks, Susan.

    “A Ukrainian model who has cast herself as a real-life Barbie doll says she eventually hopes to live without eating or drinking.”

    …and the nominees for the Darwin Awards are…

    1. Darwin Awards
      I think there’s some odd connection between the Ukraine Barbie’s wish & those of Ray Kurzweil. Reading the The Guardian article I linked makes me think the man hasn’t enjoyed a good cup of rich-roasted coffee in his whole life –who the HELL would like to live forever if there’s only decaf?? 😛

      1. and yet…
        …if you spill your coffee on a computer, it’s dead. The day Apple comes out with a Mac that can survive the most common way people kill their machines – carelessness – you run. You run far far away and fast.

        1. That will NEVER happen 😉
          Which makes me think that the Transhumanist life could be a hellish nightmare of endless updates & virus scans for your positronic brain –and what happens if they scan it & find a pirate software in there???

  2. That 30m Asteroid…
    Well you wait for ages, then 2 come along at the same time – there is another Asteroid due to pass between the moon and the earth in about 60 minutes time! This one will be estimated as being only 0.2 Lunar distance from Earth or roughly 70,000 kilometres away. I understand NASA has it as a condition code 9 which means they do not know what is going to happen…
