  • James Cameron, to uncover the truth of Jesus?

    jesugrav.jpgIt’s all according to Times Magazine:

    In a new documentary, Producer Cameron and his director, Simcha Jacobovici, make the starting claim that Jesus wasn’t resurrected –the cornerstone of Christian faith– and that his burial cave was discovered near Jerusalem. And, get this, Jesus sired a son with Mary Magdelene.

    When Israeli construction workers were gouging out the foundations for a new building in the industrial park in the Talpiyot, a Jerusalem suburb. of Jerusalem. The earth gave way, revealing a 2,000 year old cave with 10 stone caskets. Archologists were summoned, and the stone caskets carted away for examination. It took 20 years for experts to decipher the names on the ten tombs. They were: Jesua, son of Joseph, Mary, Mary, Mathew, Jofa and Judah, son of Jesua.

    The Lost Tomb of Jesus will soon air on Discovery Channel (March 4th), Britain’s Channel 4, Canada’s Vision, and Israel’s Channel 8.

  • Scientists capture giant squid in photos

    squidA pair of Japanese scientists have, for the first time, photographed a live giant squid in the wild, one of the most mysterious creatures of the deep-sea.

    The Japanese scientists led by Tsunemi Kubodera, from the National Science Museum in Tokyo, tracked the 25-foot long Architeuthis as it attacked prey nearly 3,000 feet deep off the coast of Japan’s Bonin islands.

    ‘We believe this is the first time a grown giant squid has been captured on camera in its natural habitat,’ said Kyoichi Mori, a marine researcher who co-authored a piece on the finding in the Royal Society Journal, a leading British biological publication.

  • World of warcraft’s got aids

    wowEver heard of the game World of Warcraft? It’s a massive multiplayer online game, basically hundred of thousands people playing against each other in a huge fantasyworld. The developers, Blizzard Entertainment, decided to create a new boss which infected a plague on nearby players, the plague was intended to stay within controlled areas, but managed to escape and infecting almost every player on the server(s).

    Often the best parts of a videogame are moments you don’t see coming, and sometimes the developers can’t even anticipate them! Personally, i think this is absolutely great. This is an element of gameplay that even if unintended, which might not be the case, can have far-reaching consequences.

    Blizzard has already released a patch which cured the world, unfortunately, it was limited to the game-world only.

  • Weekend of my life.

    tommie foldedSo, i turned 25 last Friday (2 September) and that called for some celebration. Problem was that i wasn’t allowed to plan anything because my friends obviously planned something – i had strict orders to be standing well-dressed in the center of Gothenburg at 16.00 sharp, not a second late.

    We (Jezper had his birthday on one week earlier, so this was a co-venture) got there at 15.55 and found my girlfriend, my mother and my sister. They handed over some flowers and presents, then we went to a Chinese-restaurant to grab something to eat. After the dinner my gf said, “well then, it’s time” and got 2 pairs of napkins and sound-proof headphones our of her bag.
