finally: they've fixed our horoscopes

I remember learning in high school that if I had taken into account what the stars were like on my birthday instead of thousands of years ago when horoscopes were created, I would be a Scorpio instead of a Saggitarius. Now, astrologers are finally fixing it (and adding a new sign, Ophiuchus).


I mean, really, its about time we got the fake facts about our personalities and fortunes right. I'm the cool new one, which I still can't pronounce. On to Cosmo's bedside astrologer!

Wrestling a snake, eh? Nice.

growing plants out of comic books?




An artist named Koshi Kawachi has created a technique called "Manga Farming". Basically, he grew radishes in between the pages of manga comic books. So if all you have are some seeds, water, and books, you should live.

volcanic lightning

Sometimes, when volcanoes decide to be even scarier, they produce LIGHTNING. Supposedly, this unexplained phenomenon may have something to do with electrically charged bubbles of magma and ash that rub up against each other. Sounds kinky.



Can you see it? This is a picture of the Sakurajima volcano in Japan erupting with lightning. Check out this video of more lightning in a volcano before you yell "FAKE!"

"door to hell"

While drilling for gas in Turkmenistan, scientists found a huge hole with poisonous gas spewing out of it. They then lit it on fire to help it burn off in a couple of hours. They did that 35 years ago. Its STILL burning.


I think the nickname Door to Hell is obvious.
