Reason #145 I want to go to MIT
An MIT team has designed a sleek spacesuit that relies on mechanical counter-pressure instead of using gas pressurization.
A bold new book tackles the ultimate thought experiment: what if there were no humans left?
Walter Haut, the now-deceased former PR representative at the Roswell Air Force base, issued an affadavit to be opened after his death, the text of which has just been released. It concludes: "I am convinced that what I personally observed was some kind of craft and its crew from outer space".

Giant Penguins Once Roamed the Earth

The Robotarium X in Jardim Central, Portugal, is the first zoo for artificial life. It houses a revolving cast of creatures powered by photovoltaic energy. Unlike with a real zoo, the Robotarium is the ideal environment for its residents, with plenty of sun, smoothness, tranquility and attention. There are no fights or aggression and the only competition is to assure a place under the sunlight.
Lake Dissapears in Central Chile
One casual theory is that an earthquake opened up a fissure in the ground, allowing the lake's water to drain through.

Universal Images
Archived From June 16, 2007
Occasionally, a friend or associate tips me off to a particularly interesting manifestation of the word "Universe." Some are more interesting than others; some are really in line with what this manifestation of Universe is all about, and those blow me away the most. This one -- all shadowy polygons, flowers, and color fields -- comes from Greg Davis, who once discovered a rare old Unarius film completely independently of me, and at the same time. Thanks, Greg!

This is the first time I've really been to this website.
It's cool, maaaaaan.
I like that picture a lot, it reminds me of my grandma. She had a lot of weird science fiction posters and weird inserts and shit; she read an intensely large amount of sci-fi and fantasy paperbacks. So that picture reminds me of my grandma Carmela, 2nd generation lower middle class Mediterranean woman.
Loov,

... we found these shoes at a 2nd hand market for a dollar, and bought them immeditly. we decided that if they fit sarah, she'd keep them. if they didn't, we would send them to you. but they fit her like a glove and she wore them all weekend. unfortunately the 'universe' on the back rubbed off before i had a chance to take a good picture of them... the tag on the inside proves though that they did indeed say 'united universe'. if i see another pair, i'll be sure to pick them up for you.
