Westworld meets Jurassic Park this time for REAL!

Some of you have probably seen the 1973 film Westworld where there is an amusement park for rich vacationers and the park provides its customers a way to live out their fantasies through the use of robots, However, after a computer breakdown, they find the robots can't be shut down and start killing the guests.

And I'm sure most of you have seen the 1993 film Jurassic Park where Scientists clone dinosaurs to populate a theme park which then suffers a major security breakdown and the dinosaurs are released to make Dino dinner out of the parks visitors.

Well incredibly both of these concepts are going to put together in a REAL Theme Park called 'Restless Planet' that is Due to open in Dubai in spring 2008.

The $1 billion park is a 500,000 square foot recreation of our planet at a time when dinosaurs roamed and is complete with giant, animatronic robotic dinosaurs.

There will be more than 100 animatronic dinosaurs, like the T-Rex, the Velociraptors, and more gentle plant eaters like Triceratops and the gigantic Brontosaurus.”

Restless Planet offers the world’s ultimate theme ride back into the mists of time – through the state-of-the-art electronics of today.

The animatronic dinosaurs have been created by combining the latest scientific research and cutting edge design the Dino's will contain embedded potentiometers and motion sensors etc, apparently allowing the reptilian re-creations to follow visitors with their eyes, track specific colors of clothing, regulate their own movements, and even lunge at viewers.

Well lets just hope that the Real life Restless Planet does not meet the same fate of the fictional Westworld and Jurassic Park or a malfunctioning robotic T-Rex could start making Dino dinner of the real life visiters.

One thing is for sure the The Restless Planet dinosaur theme will be a giant step forward in Dubai's plans to be the top of the World's tourist destinations.

It's not just Fred Flintstone that has a wooden car

Many of you have probably seen the cartoon The Flintstones were Fred Flintstone has a wooden car that he drives with his feet,

However one man from the Ukraine took this a step further and has made his own real wooden car, he is obviously a man of vision but And apparently, he is also a man of double vision as he has built it as two cars in one,
One half is a topless old fashion style and the other half seem to be a more modern style that looks to me a bit like a Mercedes,


It must of took so much time and work to build but apparently the man who made it called Vasily Lazarenko can only very occasionally take the car out for a drive as the wooden vehicle isn't registered.
I wonder how many miles he gets per gallon it must be really heavy.

The top 10 most used passwords .. if yours is there better get changing passwords.

I was reading lately on how it seems the average users are using less and less secure passwords online, and there was also a list of the top 10 most used passwords,
lucky none of my passwords are in the list but it might be worth you checking to see if yours are.
The thing is I can see why this problem is happening years ago all you would have to remember is your phone number,
if you had a phone at home and then when the banks brought out cash point machines your card pin, and that was it. (oh apart from maybe your name)

But now with the Internet it really seems like you have to enter anther password every two minutes, there is online banking signing in for email accounts passwords for blogs etc, ect, ect.
and your told never to right them down anywhere so you have to keep all that information floating round in your head,
So unless you have a photographic memory or the brain of Elbert Einstein,

it starts to become harder and harder to remember all that information,
but with the amount of online fraud there is now it really is best to go far a secure one,

even if you have to get it reset if you forget it,

So here are the 10 most common passwords
(I just knew that 'password' was going to be there as a password)

Top 10 Most Common Passwords

• 10. Thomas
  


• 9. arsenal
  


• 8. monkey
  


• 7. charlie
  


• 6. qwerty
  


• 5. 123456
  


• 4. letmein
  


• 3. liverpool
  


• 2. password
  


• 1. 123

So if you were in the top 10 better get changing those passwords!
Oh and I'm sure I don't need to say this but please don't leave any of your passwords in the comments :-)

Teen arrested for stealing virtual furniture

I read a story lately that was really strange it was about a Dutch 17-year-old that got arrested for stealing virtual furniture from the rooms The Habbo Hotel,
The Habbo Hotal is a popular online teenager networking Web site where Habbo users can create their own characters, decorate their own rooms paying with Habbo Credits, but they have to buy the credits with real cash.
An Amsterdam police spokeswoman confirmed a report that the teenager was accused of stealing 4000 euros worth of virtual furniture by hacking into the accounts of other users.
Four other 15-year-olds were apparently questioned in the case,

So what did these virtual criminal masterminds they do with this virtual furniture I hear you ask! apparently they are suspected of moving the stolen furniture into their own online hotel rooms!

Wow 4000 euros worth of virtual furniture in there online rooms? that's about 50 times more then my real future costs in our real room.

While I can see that hacking into the accounts is very wrong the thing I wonder is isn't charging charging so much for furniture that doesn't actually exist also very wrong?

In the belly of the beast

Dr. Brady Barr - National Geographic Reptile Expert
I happened to watch National Geographic Channel launches a documentary about Dr Brady Barr who decided to dress up himself as a Crocodile to get right up next to the other crocodiles living in the wild! wow that's an alternative~hands on approach,

The “croc suit” consisted of a protective metal cage covered by a Kevlar shield, and topped off with a life like latex cape, It wouldn't fool most humans but he had to hope it would fool the crocodiles as he is going to crawl up to a group of wild Giant crocs.
He need to get near enough o attach a scientific device to their backs!
This apparently happen in the country of Tanzania,

The crazy thing he was able to breath inside the hot tight suit, the thermometer read 120 degrees inside his body (hell yah, bloody hot)gosh,
I find it really crazy for him to be short distance away from the numerous hazardous crocs as well as with the most dangerous animals in Africa, the Hippo.,

Luckily for him the other Giant crocodiles that were all around him decided to adopt him as part of there group and even crawled right up on top of him,
I find him brave really to do that but how was it worth to do such bold experiment.,
Just to get so close and to be able to put a scientific tracking devise on a crocodile while not disturbing it is truly death defying act. Indeed, it was a successful experiment lop around in the mud and "pretend" to be a crocodile how about you? would you dare and consider to try it?


I found this trailer for the program, I love it when he says "Today I AM a crocodile"

Fun Quiz:-)

I've been watching Are You Smarter Than A 5TH Grader for awhile now, I even had an old post about this show, I find it cute because honestly some question of the program i didn't even know myself, im just laughing about it because of the thought that a 5th grader actually know the exact answers, clever eh? well anyways, i found this meme around the blogsphere and i just want to give myself a try and see how much do i know about these stuff It's also interesting how much you remember,
QUIZ: ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A 5TH GRADER?
My score was 75%..haha! what's yours?

I tag anyone who wants to play!
till later....

Holy Cow!

Is it a bird? is it a plane? no its just a run of the mill sky diving cow! I read this amazing story recently about a cow plummeted about 200ft from the sky and landed on the bonnet of a couples minivan as they were driving down the road.

Charles Everson, Jr and his wife Linda were driving back from a church service near Manson, in Washington state, when the cow incident occurred. As they drove beneath a cliff, The cow toppled over the edge, plunged 200ft, and smashed into the bonnet of their minivan.
Everson told local newspaper The Wenatchee World: 'It was “bam”- you just saw something come down and hit the hood.'
'I'm like, “I don't believe this, I don't believe this, I don't believe this,”' he added.
The 600lb cow, who was put down at the scene, was identified as Michelle the Cow, a cow owned by Rockin A Rodeo Bulls. Michelle the cow had been at a breeding facility, but had escaped – only for her dreams of freedom to end up nose-diving off a cliff and being dashed on a minivan.
Michelle's owner, Rena Albertson, paid tribute to Michelle: 'She is very missed and I have yet to figure out how to tell our children what happened to her.'

It's amazing that the couple both were ok now they have such good story to tell however it was a very sad day for the cow, maybe we are going to need to start strapping parachute's on them.

Would You Indulge In The World's Most Expensive Desserts?

If you've got both expensive taste and a sweet tooth then you may want to add at a least a few, if not all, of the world's most expensive desserts to your wish list of things to try. The list topper (and therefore THE most expensive dessert in the world) is The Fortress Aquamarine from Wine3 at The Fortress in Galle, Sri Lanka. The focus of the sweet treat is an 80-carat aquamarine gem resting on a specially shaped sliver of fine chocolate representative of the company's logo. It's a gorgeous looking dessert, but not many have any idea if it tastes equally as good since priced at $14,500 After you have gobbled the dessert, you can put the gemstone in your pocket. Till now, has yet to sell their first one.

I am a passionate dessert ~lover, I love tiramisu and blackforest cake. I sure splurge to one thing, for once besides food, bags, shoes, dresess but I am not totally sure why anyone would pay $14,500 on a single dessert. Personally I can't figure out why it would be worth it,

ridiculously expensive, love dessert, but this is ridiculous. gosh I don't have money to throw away in the first place I mean it looks beautiful and I like surprises (an 80carat aquamarine is Quite the surprise) but it's too much. Like others said, just because you have the money doesn't mean you should spend it like a crazy person. Have some self control. I wonder what the quality of the aquamarine is. I know they scratch pretty easily, so if it's in with food, that might be kinda weird. It better be PERFECT for that price.These are all very pretty works of art that I would never spend money on even if I had that to throw away. Its dessert! you eat it and it goes down the toilet eventually (sorry for the less then pretty vision). I wonder if they even taste good.

Anyways, I was watching the t.v a few days ago, and it said :“$25K - Cost of Serendipity 3’s “Frrrozen Haute Chocolate,” a blend of 28 cocoas infused with five grams of edible 23-karat gold that will be unveiled today by Guinness World Records officials as the “Most Expensive Dessert in the World.” Served in a goblet lined with edible gold, the dessert is eaten with a solid 18-karat gold spoon encrusted with diamonds.

If you could only choice one PC or TV?

The Television has become a necessity to have for most of us and at some point in the day most of need to sit and get our daily fix but over the past few years a PC at home has also become very, very important to a lot of people especially now that the Internet has grown so much and become so easily accessible,

I when I think about it I find it very hard to prioritise which has become more important to me, and I wonder to myself if I had to live in a world where only one of these technologies were invented and if it was only possible for me to have one of these in my home which would I choose the PC or the TV?

I know that nowadays you can quite easily watch TV programs using you PC but to make it fair maybe to pretend this option was not possible, so it was just a decision between a TV or a PC connected to the Internet?

I think I would have to lose the TV and stick with a PC.

It wouldn't be easy I do love the TV and find it very hard to imagine a life without a TV in the house, But the fact is that a PC connected to the Internet is just so much more useful, it has opened up a whole host of possibility's we can use it to communicate i don't even have a phone line as I use mine for all my phone calls, you can use it to play games and you can use it to work and make money,

no matter how much I watch TV I doubt anyone will ever pay me money to do it!

So sorry TV but you would be the one that would have to go,

However it is possible that after a few months I would regret that decision.

I hope I never have to choose out of my TV and PC, may we all have a long happy life together.

Light blubs in a microwave disco time....

Come and see the most light bulbs ever shoved in a microwave totaling one dozen. This is the ultimate electrodynamic Microwave bulb event. Hurry and watch before there is nothing but leftovers.

I did not know that light bulbs lit up in a microwave! but then I normally put food in, :-) It's Probably best not to do this in your own microwave sometimes they explode, it's probably not worth burning your house down to watch light bulbs light up but it is fun to watch when other people do it.

I spent hours last night when I was bored looking at the strange things that people were putting in microwaves it included tubes of tooth paste, soap, lit candles in glasses and people seem to have a vendetta against Furby the kids toy they were being destroyed in various ways including be toasted in the microwave, it was quite scary to watch the Furby fry it reminded me of the a scene from the Gremlins when one of the Gremlins get killed in the microwave.

it seems like a strange and dangerous addiction to some people. well it takes all kinds but not sure if i would trust them alone in my kitchen.
