Boing Boing - Reports Elvis Robs

Fair Use
The fantastic website Boing Boing is reporting that Elvis was spotted in England robbing stores with a fake handgun. I can assure you that Elvis would never us a fake handgun. Elvis carried two very real gold and nickel plated Smith & Wesson 357 magnum revolvers.

Also, Elvis is very safe and satisfied living in my basement. I have changed his diet to mango salsa chicken fingers, which he's very pleased with.

So don't worry.

Best April Fools Day video ever.

Spaghetti Harvest - 1957

On April 1, 1957 the BBC broadcast a three-minute segment on the spaghetti harvest in southern Switzerland.

The Swiss Spaghetti Harvest hoax generated an enormous response. Hundreds of people phoned the BBC wanting to know how they could grow their own spaghetti tree. To this query the BBC diplomatically replied, Place a sprig of spaghetti in a tin of tomato sauce and hope for the best.

To this day the Panorama broadcast remains one of the most famous and popular April Fools Day hoaxes of all time. It is also believed to be the first time the medium of television was used to stage an April Fools Day hoax.  - APTS
Enjoy the greatest hoax ever.

Neutron Star creates creepy fluid

According to The Daily Galaxy, the dense core of a neutron star has been found to create a weird type of fluid called a superfluid.

"If conditions are right, these neutrons ought to be able to pair up to form a superfluid – a substance with quantum properties that mean it flows with zero friction. Superfluids formed in laboratories can do spooky  things such as creep up the walls of a cup, or remain still even while their container is made to spin." - Daily Galaxy

I've heard of superfluids before and quite frankly they freak me out. They do stuff that makes you question if the universe really exists or if the Native American spirituality were right and everything is alive.

God's Creations

One of the reasons I'm an Agnostic is if God created all creatures then why would he create a spore that eats the brains of insects causing them to become living zombies and incubators for more spores. This video made by the BBC presented by Animal Planet is one of the most creepy things I have ever seen and for some strange reason also beautiful. So enjoy the chill.

Malawi bans gas - the other kind.

According to the BBC, breaking wind, stepping on the duck, cutting the cheese, SBD's are going to be illegal in the African country of Malawi. A new law proposed by the parliment would make it illegal to "rip one" in public. This is an effort to "to mold responsible and disciplined citizens."

But finding the culprit may be more difficult. I suggest the old technique of "Whoever smelt it .. dealt it."
