Reading, music, art, photography, science, Nature, and Chinese food are pretty much my favorite things.
Islamic Creationist Gets Sentenced to Prison for 3 Years Posted: 2 days ago by Jetka
Oktar, born in 1956, is the driving force behind a richly funded movement based in Turkey that champions creationism, the belief that God literally created the world in six days as told in the Bible and the Koran.
Istanbul-based Oktar, who writes under the pen name Harun Yahya, has created waves in the past few years by sending out thousands of unsolicited texts advocating Islamic creationism to schools in several European countries.

Let There Be Poop! Posted: 3 months ago by Jetka
"Every now and then, science puts forth a theory that -- at least on a bitterly cold December day, with a flu infection stirring fatigue in a certain science journalist -- resonates with grand poetic truth. The theory: the incredible complexity of life on Earth, the myriad of forms and forms and functions, owes its existence to poop."
Please don't let this be a duplicate.

Charging Up the Stairs- a New Renewable Energy Source? Posted: 3 months ago by Jetka
"Reading this, your body at rest is emitting about 100 watts into the environment. If you're sitting in an open plan office, count the number of surrounding colleagues and you don't need to be a maths genius to appreciate the possibilities of tapping into all that wasted energy.
Instead it could provide a renewable energy source to power office lighting or laptops - and it may be possible to recharge your mobile phone by walking to the photocopier."
I searched for "stairs" on the plime search engine, and it only seemed to catch around nineteen hits. So I guess this one's good. :)

Blood Swapping Reanimates Dead Dogs Posted: 3 months ago by Jetka
"In a series of nightmarish experiments straight out of a horror flick, scientists at a leading university have killed dozens of dogs — then brought them back to life.
The hapless pooches, who have their blood drained for up to three hours, are being reanimated in a bid to develop the use of suspended animation to help humans who are injured in combat or crime."
