    Unknown filmmaker gets $30m for robot movie
    [newslite.tv]

    The 5-minute video is *awesome*!

    (and that's coming from someone who does *not* like "big robots smashing things"-kind of movies)

    Found some cool robo t-shirts by Scott Robinson. They do ship from Oz, and priced the same. I really like the pictured shirt though.

    Did Nazi monster Josef Mengele succeed in creating a town of twins?

    If you've read the novel "The Boys From Brazil", this theory might be familiar to you. The thing is, it may actually be true.

    Greatest American Hero is now available in it's ALMOST entirety. It's just missing the pilot, tragically. I'm sure they'll fix that soon.

    If you're interested in marine research, this is a very interesting TED talk by Robert Ballard.

    Did you know that there are volcanoes in the ocean which spill not lava, but methane ?

    Did you know that there are bacteria living deep in the ocean which figured out a way to do photosynthesis without light (they do what's known as chemosynthesis) ?

    Did you know that 23% of the Earth's surface is actually one single underwater mountain ?

    Did you know that there is life in parts of the ocean where the environment is like a pool of bleach with a pH of 11 ?

    (If you don't remember what pH is, it's a measure of acidity or alkalinity. Anything below 7 is acidic, above 7 is alkaline, 7 is neutral. Both extremes are corrosive.)
