Homemade Tar & Feather Gun
08/18/11 -- Pretty Cool
“Penfold Merton won’t win any awards for his DIY hideous tar and feather gun, but he will win the hearts of pranksters everywhere with it. Since it’s named the “tar and feather gun,” you would think it only shoots, well, tar and feathers, but it actually takes just about any concoction of junk that can be stuffed into a canister. As this poor ‘intern’ in the video discovers, having shaving cream, flour, miscellaneous medical waste and tar and feathers all shot in your face doesn’t exactly make you feel like a million bucks.” w/ photo + video
What’s The Age Of The Moon?
08/18/11 -- Interesting
“That old moon might not be as antique as we thought, some scientists think. They say it’s possible that it isn’t a day over 4.4 billion years old. But other astronomers disagree with a new study’s conclusions. They think the moon is up to its typical age-defying tricks and is really pushing 4.6 billion as they have suspected all these years. Either way, the new analysis of an important moon rock brought back by the Apollo 16 mission is showing that the moon isn’t ready to give up its true age and origins quite yet, even though scientists thought they had it all figured out a decade or two ago. “It’s not as ancient as we might think,” said study chief author Lars Borg, a geochemist at the Lawrence Livermore National Lab. His study appears online Wednesday in the journal Nature. The study uses new techniques and radioactive isotopes of lead and other elements to date the moon rock at 4.4 billion years old. What’s key is that this is a special type of rock that would have floated up to the moon’s crust soon after its theorized ocean of molten rock cooled. That supposedly happened soon after the moon formed as a result of a spectacular crash between Earth and a planet. The chunks that broke off formed the moon. That means there are two possibilities, Borg said. Either the moon is 200 million years younger or the accepted theory of a molten rock ocean on the moon is wrong, he said.” w/ photo
