In New Zealand, there’s a famous “bra fence,” which is festooned with intimate items. While looking at a photograph he’d taken of it, Tom Ueyama noticed it contains what looks like a UFO. “I don’t believe in aliens and extraterrestrial beings, but there’s something in that photo that’s not right,” he says. He didn?t see the object when he took the picture. Inspection of the photograph and negatives show no signs of tampering.

Robin Gledhill says, “As an astronomer I don’t believe in UFOs, but I can’t honestly say what it is. It doesn’t appear to be moving, whatever it is and it’s definitely not a cloud.”

The image of the constellation of Orion has been found on an ivory mammoth tusk 32,500 years old. It contains the carving of a male figure with arms and legs outstretched to recreate the arrangement of stars in the constellation we still represent with the figure of a male hunter?over 30,000 years later. The Ancient Egyptians identified this group of stars with their god Osiris. It’s amazing to think that this representation of that group of stars could have lasted all these years through so many different cultures.

The U.S. has a secret weapon they plan to unleash in the war against Iraq called “high power microwave technology” or HPM. Officially, HPM is classified, but information has leaked out (probably intentionally, in order to scare Saddam). It was originally designed to be used in the Star Wars program, but will be delivered to Iraq in Cruise missiles. It’s a microwave weapon that can unleash 2 billion watts of electricity at the speed of light and destroy all electronics within 1,000 feet. All computer records, as well as radio and TV transmitting ability, will be destroyed and will have to be rebuilt. The buildings in Iraq will still be standing, and most people will not be hurt, but functionally, the country will be back in the stone age.read more

Psychologists have found that taking birth control pills changes women’s taste in men. Women on the pill like more macho types, with strong jaw lines and prominent cheekbones. These traits are linked to macho personality traits because testosterone builds up these bones during puberty, and higher testosterone is linked to aggression and dominance. However, women who are not on the pill go for more sensitive types without traditionally masculine features. Researcher Tony Little says, “Where a woman chooses her partner while she is on the pill, and then comes off it to have a child, she may find she is married to the wrong man.” But it may not matter that much, because today’s women have less sex than women did in the 1950s, before the sexual revolution.
