Did This Man Find A Wormhole Under His Kitchen Sink?
On August 30, 2006 in Sweden, Håkan Nordkvist came home to find water pooling on his kitchen floor. Assuming it was a leak, he gathered some tools and, opening the kitchen sink cabinet, reached his arm in to feel for the piping. But he reached farther than he’d expected. “I had to crawl inside the cabinet, and as I did so, I discovered that it just continued. So I kept on crawling further and further into the cabinet. Nordkvist claimed that he traveled into the future, to the year 2042. He also allegedly captured this footage of himself (himselves?) “…I dont´care if people thinks I am a lier. As is usually the case, sometimes it’s better to suspend disbelief and just enjoy the story itself. Why not?
Benghazi suspect, now on U.S. soil and in federal custody, could face judge Saturday
WASHINGTON – Ahmed Abu Khatallah, the Libyan militant charged in the 2012 Benghazi attacks, is in federal law enforcement custody and could face a judge as early as Saturday, authorities said. Khatallah is being held at a federal courthouse in D.C. amid tight security, Department of Justice spokesman William Miller said. He was flown to Washington by helicopter shortly after sunrise from a navy warship, where he had been held since his capture nearly two weeks ago. Khatallah is accused of being involved in the Sept. 11, 2012 attack in Libya that led to the deaths of former U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, information officer Sean Smith, and former navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty. Stevens, 52, was the first U.S. ambassador to be killed in the line of duty since 1979. There’s a possibility that Khatallah could face a federal judge Saturday afternoon for an initial court appearance at which the government would outline the charges against him.
The Moses Bridge is Invisible to The Eye
A series of moats and fortresses were built over the West Brabant Water Line region of the Netherlands during the 17th century in order to provide protection from invasion by France and Spain. Fort de Roovere was surrounded with a shallow moat that was too deep to march across, and too shallow for boats. In turn the earthen fort had remained protected –until now. From afar, the Moses Bridge is invisible to the eye. The flow of the moat appears continuous, as the water level remains at the same level, reflecting the surrounding foliage. As visitors approach the fort, the bridge appears as a break in the water with its sloping walls containing it. First lying flush with the earth, the bridge then descends deeper into the ground. The bridge can’t be seen from a distance because the ground and the water come all the way up to its edge. Ro&Ad-Architects Ad Kil & Ro Koster Via RO&AD Architecten
Print - 110 Predictions For the Next 110 Years
· People will be fluent in every language. With DARPA and Google racing to perfect instant translation, it won't be long until your cellphone speaks Swahili on your behalf. · Software will predict traffic jams before they occur. Using archived data, roadside sensors, and GPS, IBM has come up with a modeling program that anticipates bumper-to-bumper congestion a full hour before it begins. Better yet, the idea proved successful in early tests—even on the Jersey Turnpike. · Climate-controlled jackets will protect soldiers from extreme heat and cold. · Nanoparticles will make chemotherapy far more effective. · Electric cars will roam (some) highways. · Athletes will employ robotic trainers. · Bridges will repair themselves with self-healing concrete. · Digital "ants" will protect the U.S. power grid from cyber attacks. · Scrolls will replace tablets. Your Car Will Be Truly Connected · Your genome will be sequenced before you are born. 10 Things That Will Remain the Same
Oklahoma Earthquake Caught on Live Television
Oklahoma has seen a swarm of earthquake activity in recent years, a trend that has been linked to oil and gas drilling operations across the state. On Monday, a 4.3 magnitude earthquake struck during the morning newscast on Oklahoma City television stations, startling news anchors and weather forecasters. According to the U.S. Here's how the TV meteorologist at KOCO-TV handled the earthquake: Oklahoma City's News 9 was also broadcasting when the earthquake struck. If the anchors seem spooked, but not entirely surprised by the tremors, there's a good reason for that. In early May, the USGS and the Oklahoma Geological Survey issued a warning to Oklahoma residents, informing them of a dramatically higher risk of a damaging magnitude 5.5 or greater earthquake than previously assumed. Between 1978 and 1999, the USGS said, there were an average of 1.6 earthquakes of magnitude 3.0 or larger each year in Oklahoma. Have something to add to this story?
Solar Toothbrush, No Water Or Toothpaste Required
This toothbrush works through an ingenious, water and energy-saving, eco-friendly photochemical reaction. Canadian scientists have come up with something that uses solar energy to clean your teeth. The Soladey-J3X solar toothbrush works through an ingenious, water and energy-saving, eco-friendly photochemical reaction. And you don’t need toothpaste to use it! Dr Kunio Komiyama , a University of Saskatchewan dentistry professor designed the first solar toothbrush about 15 years ago. His newest dental creation is now being tested by university students in Japan. The toothbrush has a solar panel at its base that transmits electrons through a lead wire in the top of the mechanism. No doubt this device will be popular with oversleeping students everywhere. Poor dental hygiene has been linked to a decline in overall health of individuals, as well as many systemic diseases. I don’t know yet who would pay for such a scheme, but it’s something to think about. digg

Imagine holding a pen and waving it through the air, only the line your pen creates stays frozen, suspended and permanent in 3D space. Sound like magic?
Memphis man faces death penalty after conviction in shooting deaths of girlfriend, her parents
MEMPHIS, Tennessee — A Memphis man could face the death penalty after a jury convicted him Saturday of killing his girlfriend and her parents in a shooting rampage more than two years ago. A 12-person jury found Sedrick Clayton guilty of three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of his girlfriend, 23-year-old Pashea Fisher, and her parents following an argument in the Fishers' home on Jan. 19, 2012. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against Clayton, 31, who had no prior adult criminal record aside from traffic violations before the shootings. Before the trial, Clayton offered to plead guilty in return for serving three consecutive life sentences without parole. Authorities say Clayton got into an argument with Fisher before shooting her parents, Arithio and Patricia Fisher, and then her. Police say Clayton's 4-year-old daughter Joydin was in the house at the time, and that he took her with him before turning himself in hours after the shooting.
