Artificial Sun at Trafalgar Square,London

2012-01-26T09:15:00.000-08:00

This ʻbrilliantʼ artwork was commissioned by Tropicana (PepsiCo) to support their current advertising campaign. Art collective Greyworld created the spectacular sun which was raised over Trafalgar Square early this morning as part of Tropicana’s “Brighter Mornings” campaign.

Created by Greyworld and taking over six months to create, the manufactured sun is 30,000 times bigger than a football, has a surface area of 200m2 and weighs over 2,500kgs. Its internal light source produces the equivalent of 60,000 lightbulbs, 4-million lumens of light.

Still it's no match for the actual sun but who doesn't love a little extra light now and then? Especially in Winter when it's so dark all the time. Check out the video of this morning's illumination and a "making of" video.

Gay Mice by Chinese Scientists

2012-01-24T09:23:00.000-08:00

Researchers from China have discovered that male mice who are either bred without serotonin or whose bodies just aren’t receptive to serotonin have zero interest in mating with female mice.

Known as the ‘happiness hormone,’ serotonin seems to function as a “mating call” for male mice. Those whose brains cannot process it, or those who don’t have the tryptophan hydroxylase 2 gene (which produces serotonin), therefore don’t get the desire to mate, or at least not with females.

What’s interesting is that when such mice are placed among both male and female mice, they are indifferent to both types. However, when a serotonin deprived male is left alone with another male, he’ll proceed to “mount the male and emit a mating call.

This sudden preference for other males can be reverted, however, by injecting serotonin into the mouse’s brain.

Note that this study is very inconclusive, in that it cannot be used to explain human sexuality.

“Any potential links between serotonin and human sexual preferences must be considered somewhat tenuous,” Professor Keith Kendrick said.

The results do show, however, that neurotransmitters play some sort of role in regard to sexual preference—or at least with animals.

Ganvie The River In Benin

2012-01-22T04:01:00.000-08:00

That's not a photo of a flooded village. This is Ganvié, in the Republic of Benin, the largest collection of lake dwellings in Africa. Around 20,000 people call Ganvié's stilt supported dwellings home. Getting around in the town is only possible in boats carved from tree trunks, even if all you want to do is visit the next door neighbour.

The meaning of the name Ganvie is "we survived", and is a reminder of events centuries ago that led to the founding of the township. It's commonly believed that the Tofinu people settled here around 400 years ago to escape slavers who came from the Fon tribe and were not allowed to fight in water for traditional reasons (or perhaps could not swim).

Since then Ganvié has remained, forever physically changing by sheer dint of geography, but it has developed a complex and successful culture around life on the lake. Of course there are pockets of poverty, as there is everywhere else, but generally the people of Ganvié live ones of relative prosperity.

A 76 year old woman accidentally swallowed a pen. She wanted a better look at her tonsils. She used a mirror and a pen, which slipped and went down the esophagus (food canal)! Doctors didn’t believe her when she went to get herself checked. Furthermore, X-rays didn’t show anything.

Twenty-five years later, a surgeon removed it from her and found the pen in full working order. This story has all the makings of a wonderful ad campaign for the pen manufacturer.

Celebrities Who Have Killed People

2011-11-24T00:37:00.000-08:00

Shocking details about celebrities who have killed people.
Rebecca Gayheart
In June of 2001, a 9-year-old boy was crossing the street, without the help of the crosswalk. The cars in front of Gayheart had stopped to allow the boy to cross, but Gayheart, who was talking on a cellphone, swerved around them and, not seeing the boy, hit him. She pleaded no contest to vehicular manslaughter.

Phil Spector
Spector met an actress named Lana Clarkson at The House Of Blues where she worked. They went back to Spector’s house and were inside for an hour when Spector’s driver heard a gunshot. Later Spector would tell that same driver „I think I shot her.“ Clarkson was shot in the mouth at close range. Phil Spector was eventually convicted and is currently in prison.

Charles S. Dutton
Long before he was famous, Charles S. Dutton was convicted of stabbing someone to death in a street fight.<
Vince Neil
The ’80s rocker killed his passenger Nicholas Dingley (of the band Hanoi Rocks) while driving with a BAC of more than twice the legal limit.
John Huston
The famed director hit and killed a female pedestrian in Los Angeles. No charges were filed.
Donté Stallworth
Stallworth killed a pedestrian while driving drunk. He was only given 30 days in jail, two years of house arrest and 8 years probation, because the pedestrian was not in the crosswalk at the time of the accident.
C-Murder
I mean the guy’s name isn’t „C-Reasonable Bar Fight.“ At a club in Louisiana, „C-Murder“ (who is Master P’s brother) beat up and then shot a 16-year-old kid. He was convicted of second degree murder. The reason for the attack is unknown <
John Landis
This one is tricky… Many hold Landis responsible for the death of Vic Morrow and two child extras who died when a helicopter lost control and crashed on the set of The Twilight Zone. Many on the set claim that Landis was warned that the proximity of the helicopter to explosions was a problem and simply didn’t listen. Though he was acquitted of the criminal charges that were brought against him, he settled with the victims’ families for large sums of money and was punished for breaking child labor laws. Lead Belly
The blues singer Lead Belly was in and out of jail many times, but the most notable of these was when he killed Will Stafford (a relative of his) over a woman.
Leonard Little
The defensive star had a BAC of over twice the legal limit when his car hit another killing its driver. He was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and received four years probation and 1,000 hours of community service.
Rae Carruth
Carruth had a friend of his shoot and kill his then girlfriend, who was pregnant with his child. Carruth was at the scene of the crime and fled as soon as shots fired. He was convicted of conspiracy to commit murder and is currently serving a jail sentence of 18 to 24 years. Doctors saved the child.
John Wilkes Booth
Obviously Booth is famous for his assassination of Abraham Lincoln, but he was also a famous actor before he was an infamous traitor. In fact the booth’s were a prominent theatrical family and John’s brother was considered by many to be the finest actor of their time.
