Scientists examining the remains of Napoleon Bonaparte admit they are “deeply puzzled” by the discovery of a half-inch long microchip embedded in his skull. They say the mysterious object could be an alien implant — suggesting that the French emperor was once abducted by a UFO!
“The possible ramifications of this discovery are almost too enormous to comprehend,” declared Dr. Andre Dubois, who made the astonishing revelation in a French medical journal. Until now, every indication has been that victims of alien abduction are ordinary people who play no role in world events. Now we have compelling evidence that extraterrestrials acted in the past to influence human history – and may continue to do so!”
Dr. Dubois made the amazing find while studying Napoleon’s exhumed skeleton on a $140,000 grant from the French government.
Even seen on a laptop screen, the images from last year’s San Bruno explosion are stunning.
But when flipped to different angles, and layered to reveal data and information, the images actually become helpful. At least, that’s what Google is hoping, as it rolls out new disaster preparation technology via its “Geo” team.
It’s technology that Google has been using – Maps and Earth – but now focused on how disaster victims and responders can take advantage of the software, especially considering how we’re all using mobile devices wherever we go.
Introducing a revolutionary new concept… a cell phone you can CARRY WITH YOU. Sure, you have to wind it up and add plutonium, but it’s worth it. Ah, the early 90’s.
After much gnashing of teeth from city residents, NYC’s transportation department has the go ahead to launch their planned bike sharing system, comprising 10,000 bikes and 600 stations that will cover much of Manhattan and Brooklyn.
The original plan was first proposed last year, and since then, the city has been working to gather support for the project. Now that they have it, they’ve shared more details. According to the New York Observer, here are some of the key bits of info:
• Bikes will be available 24 hours-a-day, 7 days-a-week.
• Stations will span across the city from the Upper West Side neighborhood in Manhattan out to Brooklyn neighborhoods like Greenpoint and Crown Heights.
• Portland-based Alta Bike Share is the company responsible for installing and managing the bike sharing infrastrucure.
• The first 30 minutes of any ride are expected to be free, with fees for additional time.
• An annual membership is expected to cost less than a MetroCard (which normally costs ~$100/month).
German model maker Robert Gülpen has built the most expensive car model in the world – a 1:8 scale replica of the Lamborghini Aventador made from carbon, platinum gold and decorated with precious stones.
52-year-old Gülpen, who describes his creation as a “high-tech work of art” said he wanted to create something unique that has never been done before. A former mechanical engineer, Gülpen started making miniature car models from precious metals in the late 1990s and eventually became a renown miniature car model maker. He decided the cutting edge Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 would be the perfect choice for his greatest masterpiece.
