Outerspace Liquids
December 16, 2008
Have you ever wondered whats out there? The Huygens is a space probe, and no I don’t mean the one that “people get abducted from,” that came from a mother ship, the space probe Cassini. Amazingly the space probe landed on one of Saturn’s moons, Titan. Huygens took some incredible pictures of Titan and sent it back to the scientists, it depicted extraterrestrial liquid, and its the first ever taken. Scientists are incrediblely ecstatic about this new finding. The cool part is that Titan resembles the early stage of Earth, clouds, lakes, and liquid methane. Its possible this can hold life, but with super cold temperature and 470mph winds. Who ever lives there got to be very tough. And I mean TOUGH!

Nata River
December 9, 2008
The Nata River starts in Hwange National Park, located in Zimbabwe and it drains into the Nata Delta (Sowa Pans). In the Summer, the River becomes a wildlife watering hole and a giant swimming pool for the children in the hot weather. When it rains, it becomes a ragging stream of water. A majestic stream with tides of water coming through. It is impossible for any being or animal to swim across being alive to tell the story. VERY DANGEROUS!!!!!!

At first sight you would think that this was a super gadget from a sci-fi movie.
The Polar FT80 is no ordinary watch. It is the coolest and latest computer watch that monitors your exercise. So, if you’re one of those people who are total exercise fanatics or the regular exercisers, this watch is for you. The cool part is that is has a built in heart monitor, so now you know how much exercise you’re getting. One more thing, even though it is one of the coolest-looking watches ever, its also considered to be one of the most expensive watches ever. Believe it not the Polar FT80 costs about $329.95. For a watch I would consider that to be alot of money.
