Easter Island moai 'walked' Engraved Stone Dating Back 30,000 Years Found in China. Chinese archaeologists have discovered a stunning 30,000-year-old engraved stone artifact in a collection of stone tools unearthed at the Paleolithic site of Shuidonggou in 1980.
“This engraved stone artifact was a recent accidental discovery during our analysis of the stone tool assemblage unearthed at the Shuidonggou site in 1980,” explained Dr Fei Peng, postdoctoral research fellow at the Graduate University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and lead author of a paper reporting the discovery in the Chinese Science Bulletin. “It is the first engraved non-organic artifact from the entire Paleolithic of China. However, it is not just a coincidence. List of unusual deaths. This is a list of unusual deaths.
This list includes unique or extremely rare circumstances of death recorded throughout history, noted as being unusual by multiple sources. Some of the deaths are mythological or are considered to be unsubstantiated by contemporary researchers. Oxford Dictionaries defines the word "unusual" as "not habitually or commonly occurring or done" and "remarkable or interesting because different from or better than others.
"[1] Some other articles also cover deaths that might be considered unusual or ironic, including List of entertainers who died during a performance, List of inventors killed by their own inventions, List of association footballers who died while playing, List of professional cyclists who died during a race and the List of political self-immolations.

Paging Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, we need you at the Baltic Sea as soon as possible.
In what sounds like an opening for the next X-Files movie, an ocean salvage exploration company found an object on the floor of the Baltic Sea that looks an awful lot like a UFO. The sonar images are vague at best, but the object still bears an uncanny resemblance to the outline of the Millennium Falcon. Moore's Law and the Origin of Life. Here’s an interesting idea.
Moore’s Law states that the number of transistors on an integrated circuit doubles every two years or so. That has produced an exponential increase in the number of transistors on microchips and continues to do so. But if an observer today was to measure this rate of increase, it would be straightforward to extrapolate backwards and work out when the number of transistors on a chip was zero. In other words, the date when microchips were first developed in the 1960s. A similar process works with scientific publications. Today, Alexei Sharov at the National Institute on Ageing in Baltimore and his mate Richard Gordon at the Gulf Specimen Marine Laboratory in Florida, have taken a similar to complexity and life. These guys argue that it’s possible to measure the complexity of life and the rate at which it has increased from prokaryotes to eukaryotes to more complex creatures such as worms, fish and finally mammals. That raises an interesting question. Unidentified Sounds - VENTS Program.
Mysterious Russian ‘Numbers Station’ Changes Broadcast After 20 Years. The bizarre, constant audio output of one particular mysterious Russian “Numbers Station” has changed, for the first time in 20 years.
This might mean something bad is about to happen, or simply that someone finally remembered to switch tapes. Here’s the new message currently being beamed from Russian station UVB-76.
