The Hubble ST has observed a mysterious object or X-shaped debris pattern with trailing streamers of dust floating around in space caused by a collision between two asteroids. The real truth though is that scientists are still struggling to exactly pin point what it is all about which has given food for some wild speculations by different people of what it could be on that amazing picture.

Our prime minister just managed to break up already his fourth cabinet before the actual end of their period.
Let's all hope now that the extreme-right party of Geert Wildersch will not become the biggest party now. I really can't imagine him being our new prime minister. :")

So the burnt fat scrapper was unavailable at the time for someone to turn to a wire brush.

This is indeed terrible news. But, what angers me over this is how "we" (UK) are dealing with it in the news. This earthquake takes 2nd place. What takes first? - two over paid hypocritical football players who have fallen out and yesterday never "shook" hands during the pre-match. I know what you're thinking, breaking news.

They say that if a Tsunami is expected, it could reach 5 feet in height, maybe more. The experts say the last big earthquake they had was almost 180 years ago. As the coastline moves 8cm per year, that is a huge amount of slippage during a quake, and over such a huge length of time.

180 years, for some it would mean missing a generation.

Yesterday in Sidney on the steps of the opera house, more then 5.000 people gathered to be photographed by a certain "Mr. Tunick".
They'll did it in the name of Art without a thread on their bodies.

Who can top that?

About the latest big earthquake in Chile; it may have caused the earth axis to shift by 3 inches so that days from now on will be 1.26 microseconds shorter, geophysicist Richard Gross at Nasa has intimated.

At least three dead in a train crash in Oslo, Norway.
According to eye witnesses 16 wagons bolted at approx. 100 km/h, 8 km out of control on a madness journey through Oslo, the capital of Norway.
Where the tracks ended, the wagons did not.
