#TheDress is Really #BlueandBlack & Selling Out Fast! [Photos]

Posted in: , ,

What Colors Are this Dress trended for several hours yesterday with lots of big news sites joining the fray including the CNN and BBC. I was tweet-watching How To Get Away With Murder last night when I noticed the other buzzing topic and when I saw how contentious it all was, I had to put up a post.

I saw white and gold, like I said here, while Atala saw blue and black. Turns out he and others like him who saw the darker colors are right after all. For reasons why we all see different colors, read here. The real dress has been found and the colors confirmed. AND... it's selling out fast! So if you need one, go get yours now.

Baby Girl ‘Pregnant’ With Twins at Birth

Posted in: , ,

A baby girl with a rare, mysterious medical condition was found to be ‘pregnant’ with twins almost immediately after she was born. The foetuses, 8 to 10 weeks gestated, had legs, arms, a spine, rib cage and intestines. Both were also covered in skin one weighed 14.2 grammes and the other 9.3 grammes – and each had an umbilical cord.

The birth was reported in the Hong Kong Medical Journal. The condition, known as foetus in fetu occurs in just one in 500,000 births in the world and less than 200 cases have ever been reported. Doctors are yet to fully understand what causes the condition.

Could Antibiotics Cure Cancer? 8-Year-Old's Suggestion Turns Out To Be True

Posted in: , , , ,

Camilla Lisanti was asked how she would cure cancer, and the eight-year-old suggested using antibiotics, an idea which has turned out to have a lot of merit. Camilla was asked the question by her parents, a husband-wife cancer research team.

They were sceptical at first but went ahead to test out her theory in their Manchester University lab. To their surprise, several cheap and widely-used antibiotics killed the most dangerous cancer cells, including seven of the most common cancers – including breast, prostate, lung and hard-to-treat brain tumours.

A forensic examination is underway on the mummy, said to have been preserved in animal skin which could be the skin of a cow, horse, or camel.

Is The Moon A Planet Or A Star? What is It?

Posted in: ,

An argument broke out recently between QVC host Shawn Killinger and designer Isaac Mizrahi on a segment on the home-shopping network about the moon. The two were debating whether the Moon is a planet or a star. It started when she said the clothes designs reminded her of the earth's picture from the planet moon. Then she changed her mind and said the moon is a star.

But Mizrahi, the designer was having none of that! “No, the Moon is a planet, darling.” he insisted. But it seemed someone off camera had told her she was right, and moon was not a planet so she pushed back, “Don’t look at me like that! The sun is a star!” Mizrahi said he didn't know "what the Sun is” but he was sure the moon was a planet. One of the models couldn't stop laughing, facepalming herself in shame for both of them.

So what do you think, is the moon a planet or star, or what?

Curiosity on Mars Draws Naughty Pictures

Posted in: , ,
Caption This

NASA recently published pictures from Curiosity's track patterns, and the Mars rover appears to have traced out a very penis-like design on the dusty surface of the alien planet, complete with balls, lol...

According to HuffPo, the "car-sized rover landed on Mars last August with a mandate to explore the planet and analyze whether or not Mars could have supported life forms. Curiosity is controlled by a team of NASA engineers, who send two sets of instructions to the exploratory craft each day."

If you ask me, I don't think Curiosity made that pattern by mistake, my guess is those engineers are being very naughty :)

So who can best caption the picture?
