Does this Google Earth image really show 9ft giant Men towering over cars walking through Giza


Two men who appear to be more than 9foot tall as they walk through a small Egyptian town have sparked theories they are ancient gods.

The keen Youtuber who spotted the image said he was stunned when he realised the figures dwarfed the nearby cars and took to the online world to share his find.

Giant men up to nine feet tall who could herald the return of ancient Mesopotamia gods are strolling around an Egyptian bakery near the pyramids of Giza – or so online conspiracy theorists say.
 
Images that show two figures, who appear to tower over cars as they walk through the street, have been released online to the shock – and skepticism – of thousands of viewers.

A 44-year-old man whose penis was ripped off in a childhood accident has finally been able to have sex for the first time with bionic (artificial) penis.
 
Mohammed Abad, from Edinburgh, Scotland, had a bionic penis fitted in 2012 and lost his virginity to sex worker Charlotte Rose, 35, after being given the green light by doctors.
Mohammed told New Day
: 'I've been waiting for this day since I was 18. But now a big burden is off my back and I'm so happy.'  He said: 'I've waited so long for this that I don't want to waste any more time. I feel like my life is finally starting and I plan to live it to the fullest.'
He first met Charlotte, who specializes in disabled clients, for a dinner date and then got to know each other better over a few days and stayed in a central London hotel.

College Student Made His Own Braces For $60, And His Teeth Look Fantastic

                                                    Dudley’s teeth before wearing his DIY braces. 
 
This student can confidently grin from ear to ear — and it’s not because of a good orthodontist. 
Amos Dudley, a 24-year-old digital design major at New Jersey Institute of Technology, felt self-conscious about his teeth. But being a student, Dudley didn’t have the funds to get braces.
So, he decided to 3-D print his own and documented the DIY project in a recent blog post. His braces totaled less than $60, and after wearing them for about 16 weeks, his teeth are also significantly straighter.

Scientists reveal the Real reason We Close our Eyes when we Kiss

The cognitive psychologists reached their conclusion without studying people actually kissing
 
The real reason people close their eyes when they kiss is because the brain can't deal with more than two things at once. 
 
That is the finding of academics who have explored one of the great mysteries of the human psyche. When people pucker up the brain finds it difficult to process the sensation if cognitive power is also being used to analyse what we see, said psychologists from Royal Holloway, University of London.

Spoiled and Damaged Tomatoes Could Provide Electricity - Research

Tomatoes    

In many developing/under developed nations where there are no adequate provision made for preservative of perishable food items as tomatoes. Some of these large harvested tomatoes simply go to waste, damaged or disfigured to the point where farmers decide to throw them away instead of selling them. But now, there might be a way to put those waste tomatoes to use.
 
New research presented today at the annual meeting of the American Chemical Society demonstrated how to turn waste tomatoes into watts tomatoes, using a chemical reaction to generate electricity.
 
“We have found that spoiled and damaged tomatoes left over from harvest can be a particularly powerful source of energy when used in a biological or microbial electrochemical cell,” researcher Namita Shrestha, said. “The process also helps purify the tomato-contaminated solid waste and associated waste water.”

If You Do Any Of These 7 Things, You Might Naturally Be A Genius

Did you know you really might be a genius? It’s true.

Even if you don’t think of yourself as intellectually superior, you could possess many of the characteristics shared by people of high intelligence. It turns out many people who are geniuses have personality traits, habits and behaviors in common.
If any of the seven signs below are a match for you, it is very possible you are actually much smarter than you thought:

1. You are curious about everything.
Do you continually read up on a variety of subjects, follow a variety of blogs and find yourself frequently running to the Internet to look up answers to questions that pop into your head? Do you perform little experiments to see what happens, even if they’re as simple as mixing up the ingredients in a recipe?

Geniuses are naturally curious people. They are constantly formulating questions in their minds, and then seeking out the answers.

2. You talk to yourself.
This is true. If you’re frequently teased for being caught talking to yourself, don’t worry; this can be a sign of genius.
When your mind is constantly going, you often have problems, dialogue and ideas you are working through. The more intense that process is, the more likely you are to speak to yourself or mumble under your breath.

3. You read constantly.
Many people enjoy reading. Geniuses are nearly obsessed with it.
Some extraordinarily intelligent people focus on a single genre, such as science fiction or manga. Others consume reading materials from a wide variety of areas, including both fiction and nonfiction.
No matter what your reading preferences are, if your bookshelves are full and you are constantly acquiring new things to read, you tilt heavily into the genius category.

4. You enjoy challenging your own intellect.
Do you enjoy playing logic, word and trivia games to train and test your brain? If so, you have at least one thing in common with a lot of very intelligent people.
Many geniuses work on sudoku puzzles and do crossword puzzles as impulsively and habitually as other people check their Facebook pages.

5. You are forgetful.
There is something to the idea of the absent-minded professor. Extremely bright individuals often overload their minds with a lot of complicated and intense things.
They become preoccupied with their projects and ideas. As a result of this, a lot of simple, common-sense things go out the window.
This is why smart people often enter a room and forget why they’re there. It’s also why smart people frequently lose things and forget appointments.

6. You have a checkered past.
We’ve all read about the tortured geniuses who use drugs or alcohol to cope. This isn’t just a plot device used in dramatic fiction, either.
It doesn’t take long to create a long mental list of writers, musicians, artists, scientists and other creative geniuses who have succumbed to or struggled with addiction. Some use alcohol or drugs to cope with the difficulties of fitting in. Others use alcohol or drugs because of their desire to have new experiences.
Obviously, this is a completely unhealthy thing. But if you did some past experimentation, know that it’s not an unusual thing for geniuses.

7. You worry and overthink things.
You would think geniuses would be full of confidence. After all, they’re geniuses.
The truth is, geniuses are often full of doubt. They know there are no black and white answers, and that truth and knowledge continually evolves and grows. Unfortunately, this can also lead to feelings of inadequacy and lack of confidence.
After reading this, you may be thinking that you’ve tested your IQ and are decidedly not a genius. Think again.
First of all, if you’ve taken one of those free online IQ tests, throw those results out the window. They are absolutely useless.
Even if your IQ has been measured professionally, those results don’t take into consideration multiple bits of intelligence or possible difficulties with test taking that could skew your results.
If nothing else, you can benefit from treating yourself like a genius. Engage your creativity, curiosity and desire to learn new things.

Dermatoglyphics – What Your Fingerprints Say About Who You Are

There is a scientific study of fingerprints called Dermatoglyphics, and it helps us understand how the patterns on our fingertips relate to our personality and behavioral patterns.

Loops are the most common pattern for Europeans. It corresponds with a calm and balanced personality. People with such fingerprints are usually sympathetic and try to help others; they are also quick to make friends. While very diligent and responsible, they rarely take initiative.
The major source of information and feelings for such people is interaction with others.

Check out 10 improvements in Apple’s latest iOS, OS X betas

 

Apple is preparing its next round of incremental improvements to iPhones, iPads, Macs, Apple TV and Apple Watch, in addition to those announced ealier this year, here’s what to expect:

1. Apple TV gains better voice control 

We’ve all gotten used to using Siri to get things done with Apple TV, but the latest version of tvOS adds dictation to the mix. Why is this a good thing? It means you’ll be able to dictate text in search boxes rather than clicking laboriously to use the on-screen keyboard. (The beta also brings in Bluetooth keyboard support for Apple TV). I’m still waiting for Siri for the Mac.

In 30 years we'll have 'Talking' Buildings, Self-driving Planes - Futurologist Revealed

   
Back to the Future...2045: What will the world look like in 30 years?
 

The predictions have been made futurologists from Australian universities who foresee 'talking' buildings (illustrated left), self-healing planes and the end of windows by 2045.

A plant-hire company has also imagined how construction will develop over the next 30 years. These include half-human and half-machine exoskeletons (pictured inset) and self-driving pods (pictured right). The predictions have been made to coincide with Back to the Future day.
 
Hamza Bendemra, from the Australian National University said in 2045, planes will be lighter and embedded with sensors that will allow them to repair themselves in the case of damage. Chemists from Bristol have already developed a a self-healing compound that could enable wings to heal themselves like human skin

The African Golden Jackal is a WOLF say Scientists

   
African golden jackal is a WOLF and 1st new canid species found in 150 years
                       
For the science loves. Scientist doing Genetic analysis by the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in Washington has found golden jackals of Africa (left) and Eurasia (right) are two distantly related species. The scientific name for the golden jackal is Canis aureus. The researchers proposed renaming those in Africa Canis anthus, or the African golden wolf.

The researchers determined that the African golden jackal lineage split from the lineage including gray wolves and coyotes about 1.3 million years ago while the Eurasian golden jackal lineage split about 600,000 years earlier.

Google to Invest in Meat and Cheese Alternatives : Meat Looking Burger

Yummy? Their flagship project, the Impossible burger (pictured), is said to be so similar to meat that it even bleeds, just like a meat patty cooked medium-rare. The company is also working on dairy-free cheeses

Google seems to have its fingers in many pies - but it almost got involved in a burger business, according to new reports.
 
The search giant tried to buy a start-up developing a cheeseburger made entirely from plants for around $300 million, in its latest bid to build a meat-free world.
But Google had its deal rejected because Impossible foods, the company behind the burger, wanted more cash, according to The Information.

The Regions in The World that Couples Don't Kiss and Some Find is Disgusting

What's wrong with couple kissing? According to a new research, less than half of all societies use kissing to express sexual desire – and some even find the act repulsive.
The study found that out of 168 cultures from around the world, only 46 per cent of them kiss in the romantic sense. 
 
The new study, which appears in an article in American Anthropologist, focused on romantic kisses between couples.  Data suggests 15 cultures our of 33 studied in North America where kissing is not present. Romantic kissing takes place in in all Middle Eastern countries studies, but in Europe, three out of the 10 countries in the survey found kissing in a romantic scenario to be unacceptable. In Asia, 27 per cent, or 10 out of 27 countries, didn't kiss romantically.

Would You Drink Beer Brewed from recycled URINE?


Would you drink beer made from  your Urine?

A company has come up with the unusual project that will repurpose up to 25,000 litres of urine from 100,000 people at the festival to help create 425 kegs of beer.

Festivalgoers in Denmark are being asked to donate their urine to help make beer. The urine will then be stored and taken to nearby fields, where it will be used to fertilise barley.
