omg you have got to read all of this.

this scientist thinks he knows what happened to that malaysian airliner. READ IT!!

beyonce, what does it mean?

she posted this mysterious message on her website. new music maybe, or something sinister?

just a spider swarm. nbd.

According to locals, the initial swarm hit on May 8th during a cultural celebration. The Times of India reports that chaos erupted as attendees trampled over each other in an effort to escape the massive cluster of spiders that had appeared out of nowhere.

Sadly, the incident was not an isolated one. Since that day, dozens of people have reported being bitten by spiders, and at least two people have died. Residents across the district have been asked to remain inside at night, when the spiders are known to emerge from their hiding places.

Scientists sent to the area to study the arachnids have thus far been unable to determine their species or place of origin. "As of now, we cannot give a specific name. It's similar to the tarantula, but it could be a whole new species," said Dr. L. R. Saikia of the Life Sciences department at Dibrugarh University.

"Whatever the species, it is a highly aggressive spider. It leaps at anything that comes close. Some of the victims claimed the spider latched onto them after biting."  (via)

GULP.

this is real good.

who knew a story about patents could be so riveting?

this doesn't make one lick of sense.

Almost 400 volunteers are searching the dense West Tennessee woodlands looking for a 20-year-old nursing student last seen being dragged by a man dressed in camouflage into the woods near her home, investigators said.

Holly Bobo was dragged "across the carport of her home… toward a wooded area" in the town of Parsons on Wednesday, according to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. Both Bobo's mother and 25-year-old brother watched the woman being abducted and called 911.

John Mayer, spokesman for the TBI, would not say if family members tried to intervene or if they were suspected in the abduction.
...
Investigators initially believe the young woman may have been abducted from her house in a home invasion, but Mayer told ABCNews.com that "the suspect was never inside."

Police won't comment on what else family members told them or what evidence may have been left behind.

"The investigation is ongoing," said Mayer. (via)

amiright?

and i'm not sure john mayer's the right man for the job.

hot new serial killer!

right here in new york (on long island!)

The skeletal remains of four people -- one believed to be that of a prostitute who vanished in May -- have been found off a Long Island beach, and a police source told The Post that cops are now looking into the disappearance of other hookers.

Detectives, apparently fearing a Jack the Ripper is on the loose, are scrambling to investigate other reports of missing women in the area, according to The Post's source.

The first body -- found on Saturday in thick underbrush about 10 feet north of Ocean Parkway at Oak Beach -- could be that of Shannan Gilbert, a 24-year-old prostitute, the source said. The other three bodies were discovered yesterday. (via)

book stuff.

have you read the millenium trilogy yet? the girl with the dragon tattoo? the girl who played with fire? the girl who kicked the hornet's nest? everyone else has. what are you waiting for?

i just finished the second one. i had a weird experience in the nashville airport, where every time i looked up from my book, i would notice someone else was reading it. at least 10 people from where i was sitting. then i heard my name. i looked up, and it was nanners ward! and she said 'i'm reading that, too.' then i got on the plane, and the girl sitting next to me saw it and said 'i just finished that.' and then she pulled out the third one.

anyway, today the new york times writes about the phenomenon, and the effect it's having on the strangely specific scandinavian mystery genre. sweden is so hot right now!

Independent booksellers, giddy over the bump in sales, said that many customers in their stores are just learning about the Millennium series for the first time. At Powell’s in Portland, Mr. Larsson’s books are selling so quickly — at least 1,500 a week — that the store’s grateful employees have given them a nickname.

“We call them ‘The Girl Who’s Paying Our Salaries for the Next Few Months,’ ” said Gerry Donaghy, the new-book purchasing supervisor.

ctm. unfortunately, stieg larsson died (mysteeeeeeriously) before these were even published, so there won't be any more, and no one knows what to read next.

“The question is, after everybody reads ‘Hornet’s Nest,’ what are they going to do?” said Stan Hynds, a book buyer at Northshire Bookstore in Manchester Center, Vt. “I’ve got this funny feeling that every publisher is going to come out with the next Stieg Larsson.”

basically, your dog is a fruit salad.

Phineas Gage is legendary for two reasons: surviving a tamping iron through the head before the age of modern medicine (There wasn't even anesthetic in 1848 when he suffered the accident while laying train track.); and sustaining a drastic change in personality as a result of the brain injury. Despite all the medical and psychological studies inspired by this marvel, Gage, himself, has remained an elusive historical figure. All that remains is the spike and his skull, displayed in the Warren Anatomical Museum at Harvard Medical School.



That is, until recently, when Jack and Beverly Wilgus posted a photo, titled "One Eyed Man with Harpoon" to their Flickr page. The image, which they discovered in 1968, was posted roughly a year ago, at which point the story began to slowly unfold online. Commenters, and whaling experts, pointed out that the metal instrument was not a harpoon. Eventually, one commenter named Michael Spurlock wondered, "maybe you found a photo of Phineas Gage?" (via)
