How is Global Warming affecting us?
This is a very interesting hot topic...
An article I read over a month ago encouraged me to write about the topic but, I've been putting it off because I felt that the topic might become too long. This is partly the reason why I haven't written anything on my Blog lately. Oh well, Here we go...
I believe that there are facts, evidences, and convincing arguments on both sides of the issue and, therefore, I see no need to argue to conclude with a definitive answer, or come up with the million dollar solution to this issue. Let's put it this way, if there was concrete, empirical evidence, that global warming is either true or false, would there be such strong opposition and passionate groups as we see today on either side?
Popular belief, and scientific consensus, would all agree that Global Warming is a fact and if you think otherwise, or question it, be prepared for a condescending attitude from the opposition. On the one hand, there is a sense of arrogance from those that believe in the mainstream theory. I've seen this in many articles, heard it on many radio programs, and in many Podcasts episodes.
On the other hand, you see some great logical, common sense approach to the issue, such as the video below. The video is long, but I suggest you watch the whole video, it's entertaining and interesting...

UPDATE: He's back for round two LINK
The way I see it...
I believe that the evidence leans more towards the theory that the earth going through a cycle, rather than humans being a huge part of the issue. I find it interesting that in the 1970's, scientist consensus was that we were headed for the next global ice age (...uh-huh). For this, and so many other reasons, a scientific consensus means nothing more than an untrustworthy statistic. They have been wrong in so many areas throughout the decades, especially during the 60's and 70's, but thats whole other topic.
Here is another great logical and common sense approach to the issue from the skeptics side. Remember when the Founder of the Weather Channel, John Coleman, suggested to sue Al Gore, and various other carbon credit selling companies for telling people "how to live their life"? I got a good chuckle out of it. But I like his position... It makes sense, doesn't it? His comment basically sums up what many well read individuals think on the issue:"
"Since we can't get a debate, I thought perhaps if we had a legal challenge and went into a court of law, where it was our scientists and their scientists, and all the legal proceedings with the discovery and all their documents from both sides and scientific testimony from both sides, we could finally get a good solid debate on the issue," (LINK)
So how has Global Warming affected us? I can honestly say that Global Warming has affected us in a very positive way! Thanks to the media shoving up the issue in our faces on a daily basis! there has been a huge awareness in many industries to develop environmentally friendly, energy efficient, recyclable products, and becoming certified to old and new environmentally friendly industry standards, such as OSHA, ROHs, etc, in response to customers requesting environmentally friendly products. Also, on a personal level, I'd like to think that we all try to do something for the environment, wether it be recycling a water bottle, or simply turning off the lights in your house, we all try to do our part.
So, thanks Global Warming!

Vegetable Orchestra
Remember when your mom used to tell you "Don't play with your food!" Well...
A group of Austrian's, with different musical backgrounds, have formed a one-of-kind orchestra where they carve, cut, and shape various fresh veggies into various types of musical instruments.
That's right, they play with their veggies!
A carrot becomes a recorder and the combination of a pepper and a carrot becomes a trumpet.
Check out the video below and enjoy the sounds of veggies.
The orchestra was invented collaboratively by 11 musicians, 1 sound engineer, 1 video artist, and a cook. They play all over Europe and parts of Asia.
Thanks, Jessica, for the Tip!
Top 10 Jackie Chan Stunts
Hi everyone, lets take a break and enjoy a Jackie Chan video composed by one of his fans.
This video has over 1 Million hits on YouTube and appears on top of the Highest Rated videos on my iPhone (I don't see it on top on the actual website?)
Enjoy.
Insect Lab Studio
Wow, this is fascinating...
A multi-disciplinary artist has come up with some very interesting designs using real insects and antique watch parts.
His twisted designs remind me of steam punk art. Very cool!
It's interesting how he started this project, here is what he writes on his website:
"One day I found a dead intact beetle. I then located an old wristwatch, thinking of how the beetle also operated and looked like a little mechanical device and so decided to combine the two. After some time dissecting the beetle and outfitting it with watch parts and gears, I had a convincing little cybernetic sculpture. I soon made many more with other found insects and have been exploring and developing the theme ever since."
Although this idea is not new, I think this is the first time anyone has actually brought the concept to reality.
You can purchase his designs, or request custom made designs anywhere from $400 - $1000+ see his website for details and check out his very cool gallery.
Very interesting!

April Fools!!
Ok, I confess! I can't take it anymore; my conscious is killing me!
...The Male Pregnancy story is FALSE!
Whoa, what a relief, right?
I wanted to disclose this information on Friday but, I just couldn't wait that long. I couldn't bare knowing that my loyal readers had been deceived. I even got the opportunity to witness someone go through all the emotions, believing such a story to be true; trusting everything I wrote only because I said so!
It was torture, I tell you.
well, maybe I enjoyed it a little bit :)
Though I am flattered that you trust my blogs, I think we can all learn a lesson from this april fools joke, and that is to Google! Yup, google the topic, don't just accept things at face value. We all need to verify and prove to ourselves that what is given to us as fact, is actually fact or fiction. In other words, verify your sources (This goes for those chain emails too).
If its of any consolation, I too fell for the article when I first read it a couple of years ago. (But only for a couple of minutes)
So how many of you fell for it?
Remember, you are anonymous.

Male Pregnancy...What!?
O! What have we done!?
Have we gone too far? Who, in their right mind, would ever conceive such a pervese and unatural thing?!
I've been following this story for quite a while now and to my surprise I could not find a single article that disproves this male pregnancy. On the contrary, I've gone through the entire website, read through all the references, viewed all the pregnancy journals, and googled "male pregnancy" on the web. To my disappointment, all sources check out correct, yes even the CNN reference checks out correct too, unfortunately this pregnancy is legitimate.
According to a recent interview, the sick and perverted volunteer, Mr. Lee, always had the desire to "experience the joys of pregnancy" and encourages all human beings to go through the same experience before they die.
But how is this possible?
Thanks to In Vitro Fertilization and female hormone injections, Mr Lee's body is now carrying an abomination. For details, check out the following website:
I am disgusted!
