pretty fly for a jedi

Spotted on Etsy:

Belated birthday present anyone?

geminids

Since the Leonids were such a letdown, lets all take a nice break during exams and watch the Geminids! The earth is passing through the tail of an extinct comet called 3200 Phaethon (that's for sure what I'm going to name my kid). There are supposed to be over 100 meteors per hour on December 13th this year, coming from the constellation Gemini (see star map).


Its supposed to be spectacular this year, folks. The moon will almost be a new moon, meaning barely visible at all for maximum meteor visibility.

"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.

teeny tiny mp3 player

Available only from Japan (and the nice people over at Think Geek), this is an mp3 player that is the size of 2 sugar cubes. It includes 4GB of memory, rechargable battery, and an earbud attached directly to the player. For two earbuds, plug another one right into the device.

For something that's super easy to use and super tiny, $80 is a steal.

Get it here!
