(Weird) When Cluedo meets Warhammer40k

For W40K fans like me who played at Space Hulk, Tyranid Attack and so forth, it's alway refreshing to see that some people have crazy ideas like mixing cluedo and space crusade. Check the rules ! And turn Colonel Mustard into an aggressive space marine !

Cluedo Crusade resulted from the somewhat unlikely pairing of 'Space Crusade' and the long-running children/family who-dunnit boardgame by Waddingtons called 'Cluedo' (in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand etc) and 'Clue' in the USA. 

Subtitled "Bloodbath at Tudor Court", it is the 'brainchild' of one Stephen J Wells,and essentially involves the detective game beginning normally, but on the third die roll of a 6 "the forces of Chaos break through the fabric of space to destroy the Earth.  Split-seconds later, time-shifted Starships lock on docking claws and elite Imperial Space Marines storm in".  Each of the Cluedo characters then commands a troop of Space Crusade figures - Miss Scarlett [pictured at right] the Blood Angels, Reverend Green the Orks and Gretchin, etc. - pause for rolling of eyes ... !

(TheWorld) Test the Chemical Constitution of your European Deputy!

Via liberation, WWF analysed the blood of several European Union deputy, all are contaminated !

WWF a prélevé un peu de sang à 47 volontaires de 17 pays européens (députés européens).(...) Les scientifiques ont ensuite analysé les échantillons pour y quantifier la présence de 101 produits chimiques répartis en cinq familles : les pesticides organo-chlorés, les polychlorobiphényles, les retardateurs de flammes au bromure, les phtalates et les composés perfluorés. Au final, pas moins de 76 des 101 substances recherchées ont été identifiées dans le sang des cobayes européens.

41 substances. Tous sont contaminés par au moins un produit de chaque grande famille. En moyenne, 41 substances ont été détectées par individu, avec un «record» qui s'établit à 54.

(Weird) Heavy metal in iraq

I read that U.S. troops blast AC/DC's "Hell's Bells" and other rock music full volume from a huge speaker, hoping to grate on the nerves of this Sunni Muslim city's gunmen and give a laugh to Marines along the front line. An Army psychological operations team hopes a mix of heavy metal and insults shouted in Arabic.

(Weird) Send SMS with your Barbie

Barbie is done doing so well since her divorce with Ken, her nice husband, that is why some people are trying to improve her according to the age.

Mattel chief executive Robert Eckert is adding more features to Barbie, a 45-year-old American icon that accounts for half of Mattel's profit, in a bid to revive sales of the world's largest toy maker. He's giving Barbie text-messaging capability and even a new boyfriend after losing more than 20 per cent of the $US1.7 billion ($A2.3 billion) US fashion-doll market to competitors such as MGA Entertainment, the maker of Bratz dolls.

(Weird) Map of Hollow Earth

There are several hollow Earth theories. The most prevalent one holds that there are great but hidden openings at both the North and South poles, and that it is possible to enter those holes. Some - including the respected Admiral Byrd - claimed to have entered those holes. This hohlweltlehre theory was a failure: because they suspected that our surface is on the interior of a concave Earth, Hitler sent an expedition to the Baltic island of Rugen to spy on the British fleetand it failed.

Via paranormal:

Then there's the legend... that Hitler and many of his Nazi minions escaped Germany in the closing days of World War II and fled to Antarctica where at the South Pole they had discovered an entrance to the Earth's interior. According to the Hollow Earth Research Society in Ontario, Canada, they are still there. After the war, the organization claims, the Allies discovered that more than 2,000 scientists from Germany and Italy had vanished, along with almost a million people, to the land beyond the South Pole. This story gets more complicated with Nazi-designed UFOs, Nazi collaboration with the people who live in the center of the Earth, and the explanation for "Aryan-looking" UFO pilots.

...Totally crazy...

(Weird) Atomic Research Center and Banana Juice

Fundamental research could provide interesting side effects:

The Bhabha Atomic Research Centre has developed a new technology to manufacture juice from bananas. It has also applied for a domestic patent for this new process.

The banana juice-making technique is actually a spin-off technology developed during the Centre's programme to evolve a hybrid banana variety as a part of its `Atom for Agriculture' programme. The juice making know-how, though at present is only at a lab-scale level, is being upgraded for commercial purposes.

[Weird] Mobile Phones and ghost decline

Via Farshores:

A Wirral paranormal investigator has rubbished claims that mobile phones are chasing away ghosts. Tony Cornell, of the Society for Psychical Research, says the number of spooky sightings started to decline with the introduction of mobiles 15 years ago. (...) He reckons it's all down to a lack of TV programmes like The X-Files rather than mobile phone microwaves in the atmosphere. He said: 'In the run-up to the year 2000 there was loads of stuff on the telly about the paranormal and that made the public more aware. 'But now people may have an experience and not realise that it's of a paranormal nature. And, anyway, we use lots of hi-tech equipment in our research and that has no effect. Good solid reliable ghosts are there and they are as hard as ever to catch.'

[Weird] Biology of aggression

Researchers bet on fruit fly fights to expose underlying biology of aggression

Round by round, move by move, video replay of 75 fruit fly fights reveals statistically significant patterns of normal fighting behavior. Male fruit flies that pick a fight are likely to win the battle. Losing fruit flies don't give up easily, even if it takes them longer to re-engage their foes after a particular bruising encounter. Most fruit fly fights are resolved before they escalate to intense physical contact.

These are some of the results from a study of 75 fruit fly fights staged at a neurobiology laboratory at Harvard Medical School (HMS) in Boston, Mass. USA. The researchers videotaped and analyzed the fights to learn more about aggression
