Raumfähre Columbia bei Landung abgestürzt
Die US-Raumfähre Columbia ist heute kurz vor der Landung abgestürzt. Um 15.00 Uhr (MEZ) war laut der US-Raumfahrtbehörde NASA der Kontakt zum Shuttle mit sieben Astronauten an Bord abgebrochen, als es sich über Texas befunden hatte. Vermutlich kamen alle Astronauten ums Leben. Laut NASA hat es keine Chance für die Columbia gegeben notzulanden. Die NASA nahm die Suche nach Wrackteilen auf und warnte die Bevölkerung, sich von den Trümmern fern zu halten. An Bord war auch der erste Israeli im All.

Happy Chinese New Year!
The Chinese Lunar New Year is the longest chronological record in history, dating from 2600BC, when the Emperor Huang Ti introduced the first cycle of the zodiac. Like the Western calendar, The Chinese Lunar Calendar is a yearly one, with the start of the lunar year being based on the cycles of the moon. Therefore, because of this cyclical dating, the beginning of the year can fall anywhere between late January and the middle of February. This year it falls on February 12th. A complete cycle takes 60 years and is made up of five cycles of 12 years each.

Rembrandt self-portrait uncovered
Art restorers have uncovered a self-portrait of Rembrandt which had been retouched hundreds of years ago to feature a Russian nobleman, a museum says.
Layers and layers of paint were painstakingly scraped away to reveal the original picture of the Dutch master, complete with the round chin and gentle eyes common to other self-studies.

Pot guru Ed Rosenthal could face life in jail
U.S. lawyers have presented closing arguments in a trial that could land a guru of the pro-marijuana movement in prison for the rest of his life, even though California deems his actions legal.
Ed Rosenthal, 58, has never hidden his enthusiasm for the weed and has written numerous books on the subject, including "Marijuana Grower's Handbook: The Indoor High Yield Guide" and "Marijuana Question? Ask Ed".

e-bay 2 HEADED ALBINO RAT
"I knew that BGH in the milk was too good to be true!" This unusual sideshow attraction has been created from 2 large white lab rats that have been seamlessly combined into this mutant taxidermy mount. This photo has not been altered - it's very realistic and totally convincing. This was one of the first freak animal mounts I ever did from years ago, but I'm clearing out all of the old work from my collection to make room for new additions. This monster size mutant male rat measures approximately 14" long from nose to tail.
Item # 2705889239 Current bid US $199.00 (reserve met) Starting bid US $75.00
