The argument that the moon is a dry, desolate place no longer holds water.

NASA today opened a new chapter in our understanding of the moon. Preliminary data from the Lunar CRater Observation and Sensing Satellite, or LCROSS, indicates that the mission successfully uncovered water during the Oct. 9, 2009 impacts into the permanently shadowed region of Cabeus cater near the moon’s south pole.

Kseniya Simonova - Sand Animation (Україна має талант / Ukraine's Got Talent)

I just saw this video posted on my friend's Facebook page, I thought it was pretty amazing and worth sharing:

Kseniya Simonova (born 1985 as Ксения Симонова) is a sand animator from Ukraine. She started drawing with sand after her business collapsed because of the credit crunch and had been drawing for less than a year when she entered Ukraine's Got Talent. She became the 2009 Winner of Ukraine's Got Talent, constructing an animation that portrayed life during USSR's Great Patriotic War against the Third Reich in World War II.

Simonova won 1,000,000 Ukraninan Hryvnia (approx. $125,000 USD) for her first place in the show.

Balloon Boy

Colorado Boy Floats Away In Balloon

Frantic Search Under Way To Rescue Boy

FORT COLLINS, Colo. -- A 6-year-old boy is floating over northeastern Colorado in a homebuilt balloon and authorities are racing to try and rescue him.

The balloon, in the shape of a flying saucer is covered in foil and filled with helium. It has a compartment for a passenger underneath. It lifted the boy into the air near Fort Collins Thursday morning after the balloon became unhooked at the boy's home.

"We were sitting eating, out looking where they normally shoot off hot air balloons. My husband said he saw something. It went over our rooftop. Then we saw the big round balloonish thing, it was spinning," said neighbor Lisa Eklund.

The father and son had apparently been working on the aircraft for some time..

Big Dude Skateboarding

Training Afghan National Army Soldiers

If the enemy was even half as retarded as our allies we would have won this war a long time ago.  You should watch this video multiple times while focusing on a different individual, it's amazing:

Big Man Japan (Dai Nipponjin) (2007) -- Final fight scene

A middle-aged slacker living in a rundown, graffiti-ridden slum, Daisato’s job involves being shocked by bolts of electricity that transform him into a stocky, stick-wielding giant several stories high who is entrusted with defending Japan from a host of bizarre monsters. But while his predecessors were national heroes, he is a pariah among the citizens he protects, who bitterly complain about the noise and destruction of property he causes. And Daisato has his own problems -an agent insistent on branding him with sponsor advertisements, an Alzheimer-afflicted grandfather who transforms into a giant in dirty underwear, and a family who is embarrassed by his often cowardly exploits. A wickedly deadpan spin on the giant Japanese superhero, BIG MAN JAPAN is an outrageous portrait of a pathetic but truly unique hero.

Michael Jackson Still Alive?

Michael Jackson Still Alive At Coroner's Office?

Video purports to show Jackson exit coroner vehicle

A video floating around the Internet claiming to show Michael Jackson 'still alive' is creating a bit of a stir. A description posted by user 'LosAngelesCot24' on Liveleak.com reads 'this video shows that Michael was still alive after his dead body was transported to the Los Angeles Dept. of Coroner. I checked the license plate number and it looks like the King of Pop is jumping out of the same van, his dead body has been in.' 

The user claims to have obtained the video from a 'trustworthy source' but there's nothing to suggest the person exiting the coroner's vehicle is Michael Jackson and there is no time stamp on the video. Though 'LosAngelesCot24' offers the assurance 'it´s real and Michael is alive' it's almost certainly unrelated to the Jackson case. Still, videos like this are sure to fuel the conspiracy theorists who suggest the King of Pop is still alive.

Phone number to Heaven

Wow, this is funny and slightly messed up at the same time.
