Aliens didn't do it, but it's still quite fascinating.

New photos of a surprisingly rectangular iceberg are offering the full picture of this now-famous Antarctic structure—and it remains weird as hell.

I wonder if they'll do a follow up where the player can catch paedophile priests?........

The most popular treatment for alcoholism might be ineffective

The Alcoholics Anonymous' 12-step program might not be the best approach. Evidence-based solutions could provide a better alternative

First picture of a black hole. Looks alright. Seen better ones in movies.

I completely forgot about this thread!!! Good call, SJH.

Saw that. It is a bit underwhelming, but the experts seem to love it!!!

What a time to be alive.

Was always going to be based on the artistic impressions I think. At least it gives them something real to compare to now and improve from.

 

[mike_field]

Although to bring the tone down a bit, it does sort of look like a bum hole.

Opening this thread up has reminded me of something I read recently. I think it is absolutely amazing, but others may tell me I'm overreacting. If it is feasible, it changes everything.

A research team from RMIT University in Australia have harnessed liquid metals to turn carbon dioxide back into solid coal – a breakthrough that offers an alternative pathway for safely and permanently removing the greenhouse gas from our atmosphere.

Yes, I was being a bit of a prat, lol, it really is amazing. It'll take a while yet to get a nice clear HD selfie with one.

Hopefully we've all been sucked into one by then!

Had a quick look Heath, agree, that does seem amazing. I'll have to give it a read later, I'm supposed to be doing an assignment right now due in tomorrow, but of course I'm here procrastinating!

Well now this thread is up and running again... What. The. Fuck??

When a young Taiwanese woman named He took herself to a hospital this week complaining of a swollen eye, she expected to be treated for a simple infection.

Instead, the 29-year-old and her doctor were horrified to discover four bees living under her eyelids, feasting on her tears.
