Now that the Chevy Camaro is back, expect to see more and more Trans Am packages aimed at transforming the new Camaro into the Pontiac icon.

Terror as mall shark tank cracks
SHOPPERS fled in terror today after a giant aquarium filled with 400 SHARKS and stingrays cracked and began gushing torrents of water.
Horrified holidaymakers were among those left fearing that they were about to be engulfed by 10MILLION gallons of water — holding 33,000 sea creatures.
A break appeared in the tank's walk-through area where visitors to the 1,200-store shopping centre are virtually surrounded by the water.

Riot at Chuck E. Cheese leads to marijuana arrest
who would've thought?
Chuck E. Cheese Riot in Tennessee Leaves Several People Facing Charges
Chuck E. Cheese, the restaurant and game center for children, is not where one would expect a riot to occur, but that's what happened when two families began fighting over a long line at the photo booth.
The alleged aggressor's family was there celebrating her son's birthday at the Chuck E. Cheese in Hickory Hill, Tenn. when a girl began complaining that their lengthy use of the photo booth was causing a long line to form.
The woman's stepfather reportedly punched the complaining girl in the face, which sparked a wider physical altercation between both families. Customers and children began running for the exits to escape the melee. The young woman denies that any of this is her fault but admits she's "embarrassed" by the incident.
Members of both families face a variety of charges, from inciting a riot to threatening police officers to possession of marijuana.

how sports team owners made their fortunes
How Billionaire Sports Owners Made Their Fortunes
You obviously must be exceedingly wealthy to become an owner. Did you ever wonder how all these people made all that money? Here’s a list of eight billionaire owners and how they built their fortunes.
Robert Kraft, New England Patriots
I’d never really given it much thought, but I’d always assumed Kraft bought the Patriots with big cheese money he’d inherited. But Kraft got his start in the paper business. His wife, Myra, is the daughter of Massachusetts philanthropist Jacob Hiatt. After Kraft finished Harvard Business School, he went to work with his father-in-law’s packaging company.
In 1972, Kraft founded International Forest Products, which is now part of the Kraft Group – a diversified collection of companies ranging from Gillette Stadium to the New England Revolution (Major League Soccer) to Carmel Container Systems (Israel’s largest packaging plant). Kraft is seen as a savior in New England – before he bought the team in 1994, the Pats seemed destined for relocation to St. Louis. Plus he’s made them really, really good, winning three Super Bowls this decade.
Jerry Jones, Dallas Cowboys
Jerry Jones built an oil empire in the early 1970s, striking gas in the first thirteen wells he drilled. His father had given him a head start; Pat Jones sold the Modern Security Life Insurance Company for millions.
An undersized guard, Jones was captain of the 1965 Cotton Bowl-winning Arkansas Razorbacks. Future Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson was a teammate, and Johnson’s successor, Barry Switzer, was a Razorbacks assistant.
Jones bought the Cowboys for an estimated $140 million in 1989. He immediately made waves by firing Tom Landry – the only coach in Cowboys history – and replacing him with his college buddy (the aforementioned Jimmy Johnson, who was coaching the University of Miami). After a rocky 1-15 start in 1989, the Cowboys went on to win three Super Bowls in the 1990s.see the rest via mentalfloss
Operation Unthinkable: Churchill's Plan to Topple the Soviets
history will be his judge.
Operation Unthinkable was a British plan to attack the Soviet Union. The creation of the plan was ordered by British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and developed by the British Armed Forces' Joint Planning Staff at the end of World War II.
The initial primary goal of the operation was declared as follows: "to impose upon the Soviet Union the will of the United States and the British Empire. Even though `the will' of these two countries may be defined as no more than a square deal for Poland, that does not necessarily limit the military commitment"
The Chiefs of Staff were concerned that given the enormous size of Soviet forces deployed in Europe at the end of the war, and the perception that the Soviet leader Joseph Stalin was unreliable, there existed a Soviet threat to Western Europe. The Soviet Union had yet to launch its attack on Japan, and so one assumption in the report was that the Soviet Union would instead ally itself to Japan if hostilities commenced with the Western Allies.

addition to the bucket list - Loy Krathong
Loy Krathong is a Buddhist adaptation of the Hindu festival honoring the water gods. The primary foci are releasing floating candles (the “loi krathong” which give the festival its name) into waterways to carry away bad luck, grudges, and other ill feelings. Additionally, thousands of paper lanterns are released into the sky for similar symbolic purposes. There’s a poorly written entry on Wikipedia for more information.

Charlie Wilson (of "Charlie Wilson's War") Dead at 76
Sad to see him pass, dude was a badass. Pouring out some whiskey for him tonight for sure.
Charlie Wilson Dead: Texas Congressman was Hero of 'Charlie Wilson's War'
LUFKIN, Texas — A hospital spokeswoman says former Rep. Charlie Wilson of Texas has died at the age of 76. The spokeswoman says Wilson died Wednesday of cardiopulmonary arrest.
Wilson represented Texas' 2nd District in the House from 1973 to 1996 and was nicknamed "Good Time Charlie" for his partying ways.

Miss Me Yet? Bush Billboard Looms Over Highway
George W. Bush is back...in billboard form. Hovering over I-35 near Wyoming, Minn., is an ominous/how'd-anyone-take-him-seriously pic of the former president with the question, "Miss Me Yet?"
There have been no reports as to who is behind the billboard. For all we know Bush put it up after finding a picture of himself as he was about to catch a hamburger at a barbecue.

Iran anniversary 'punch' will stun West: Khamenei
Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Monday that Iran is set to deliver a "punch" that will stun world powers during this week's 31st anniversary of the Islamic revolution. 
"The Iranian nation, with its unity and God's grace, will punch the arrogance (Western powers) on the 22nd of Bahman (February 11) in a way that will leave them stunned," Khamenei, who is also Iran's commander-in-chief, told a gathering of air force personnel.
His comments came as Iran said it would begin to produce higher enriched uranium from Tuesday, in defiance of Western powers trying to ensure the country's nuclear drive is peaceful.

one step closer to man-bear-pig
it has begun.
Pig lungs in human transplants move step closer
Scientists in Melbourne, Australia, used a ventilator and pump to keep the animal lungs alive and "breathing" while human blood flowed in them. Experts estimated the work could lead to the first animal-human transplants within five years.
The breakthrough came after scientists were able to remove a section of pig DNA, which had made the pig organs incompatible with human blood.
Previous attempts to combine unmodified pig lungs and human blood ended abruptly two years ago when blood clots began forming almost immediately, causing the organs to become so blocked no blood could pass through.

Bizzare locations and unsolved mysteries
a very creepy one here, more after the jump:
10. Why are dogs committing suicide by jumping off the Overtoun Bridge?
The Overtoun Bridge in Scotland has gained public attention because of the unusually large number of dogs that have allegedly leaped to their deaths off the bridge. It is not known exactly when or why dogs began to leap from the bridge, but news stories and studies have indicated that these deaths might have begun during the 1950s or 1960s, at the rate of about one dog a month. 
The long leap from the bridge onto the waterfalls of the Overtoun Estate almost always results in immediate death. Inexplicably, some dogs have actually survived, recuperated, and then returned to the site to jump again. These dogs are known to the locals of Dumbarton as "second timers." The dogs have mostly jumped from one side of the bridge, during clear weather, and have mostly been breeds with long noses. No explanation has yet been found.

The 24 Types of Pot Smokers
some good ones below, full list after the jump:
1. The ADHD Kid
Signature smoking method: Steamroller
He stopped taking his Ritalin a long time ago because it made him feel dead inside. But then he was a total spaz. So to keep himself from jumping around like a psychotic banshee, he started smoking weed. After a few hits, the smoke calms him down to a level of energy just above the average person. Which is good, because if it didn’t, he’d have no friends.
Signature smoking method: Bowl
This guy doesn’t f**k around. He knows what to do when you encounter a grizzly and how to tell time with the sun. He can make a bowl out of anything, knows which mushrooms to eat – and which ones to never eat. You almost want to be him, until you realize his best day possible consists of hitting a bowl of kind bud at the base of Mt. Everest, followed by a week-long trip up a g*ddamn mountain.
11. The Professional
Signature smoking method: Something strong
If you don’t catch this guy in the act, you’d never know he smokes at all. That’s because, most of the time, he’s working his ass off. But when he comes home from a hard day, the only way he can chill out is by getting really, really high. I mean really high. He gets good weed, but often doesn’t know the difference between specific strains of marijuana. But that’s OK, he doesn’t have time for that bullsh*t.

the concentration. Antarctica is by far the coldest continent and some
places reach -90c.

Bentley University student stabbed by 2 chicks

Bentley University student stabbed inside residence hall
A male Bentley University student was stabbed early this morning inside the university's Fenway Residence Hall, and two women were arrested, Bentley officials said in a statement today.
The victim's injuries were not believed to be life threatening. He was taken from the dorm shortly after 3:30 a.m. to a nearby hospital.
Two women who are not students at the school are in Waltham Police custody and will face arraignment in Waltham District Court later today.
Bentley authorities said the attack was not a random act of violence, stressing the two women and the man knew each other and there was not a threat to anyone else on the campus.

recession = more people buying cheap booze
i know this is true for me, i've had to go from gentleman jack back down to the regular no. 7
Cheaper Liquor Gets Boost in Downturn as Americans Drink More but Choose Less Expensive Brands
NEW YORK — Americans' love affair with top-shelf booze cooled last year as the recession took a toll on high-priced alcohol.
A new report by an industry group shows people drank more but turned to cheaper brands. They also drank more at home and less in pricier bars and restaurants.
Last year, the lowest-priced segment, with brands such as Popov vodka that can go for less than $10 for a fifth, grew the fastest, with volume rising 5.5 percent, after edging up 0.6 percent in 2008. Meanwhile, the most expensive price range, roughly $30 or more for a 750 ml bottle (think Grey Goose, owned by Bacardi), fell the most, tumbling 5.1 percent.

The administration on Monday asked Congress for more than $7 billion for activities related to nuclear weapons in the budget of the National Nuclear Security Administration, an increase of $624 million from the 2010 fiscal year.
