$sciencecenter: New study is a further testament to the hardiness of the water bear The water bear is the cockroach of microbes; they nearly always pull through when researchers throw them into Armageddon-like conditions. Now it seems that even their unborn young have unprecedented endurance. The microscopic animals called water bears already have quite a number of accomplishments under their belts. In experiments, they’ve survived the vacuum of space, large doses of radiation, extreme heat, extreme cold, and extreme pressure, giving scientists cause to believe that the little guys could potentially live on other planets and weather long journeys across space… But to pull this off, they’d have to reproduce. Scientists have now exposed water bear eggs to three of these stressors—extreme temperature, vacuum, and a dose of radiation so strong that exposure to even a fraction of it would kill a human in days. They found that provided the eggs are given a chance to dehydrate themselves and go dormant, surprising numbers that survive: more than 70% of eggs for the temperature test, and more than 50% for the radiation test, while vacuum-exposed eggs hatched at similar rates as control eggs.

Finally, a makeup advertisement addressing the fact that makeup is an ARTFORM, and isn’t only used to “hide your flaws”.

I want to put these ads all over the world and inside my school. Haha

Advertisers: DOING IT RIGHT.

Some days, I like the confidence boost I get from wearing makeup. Somedays, I don’t feel like I need it. I really like these ads.

The Horton Principle

“I meant what I said and said what I meant. An elephant’s faithful one hundred percent!” - Dr.Seuss, Horton Hatches the Egg

WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE? Why do we like to complicate things? What we need to do is go back to the olden days when people don’t ‘Chat’ they talk in person. They need to realize that they are and will always be responsible for whatever blurb that comes out of their mouth.

Being a girl, I am so confused because other girls expect to understand every riddle that they throw at me for no apparent reason. Oh well, I’m a fool maybe. But I know one thing for sure, if people starting saying what they really mean and meaning what they really say then we’d get much more done, on a global scale even.

People tell lies, newspaper are biased, companies deceive and puppets love money. Thats all I have to say for now. -R
