Ladies and gentle, I present to you the one and only Goat Simulator! Forget learning how to fly a plane, this is where it's at. Now you can relive all your twisted goat fantasies with realistic detail.

Alfred Nobel

A.K.A the Swedish chemist who invented dynamite, but he also invented the Nobel Prize. I know what you're thinking "How did he go from dynamite to something as honorable as a Noble Prize?" So I'll tell you. Alfred's brother Ludvig died while visiting Cannes. Mistakenly the newspapers in France published that it was Alfred who had died. "The Merchant of Death" was how they titled Alfred when he had "died". As you already guessed, Alfred was not pleased at how he will remembered.

When his time actually came, in his last will he established the Nobel Prizes to be awarded annually to anyone who deserved it. He spent most of his resources creating the first five Nobel Prizes.

Check out every Nobel Prize winner here.

 And that's how the Nobel prize was made. I guess you can say his reputation just "blew up".

A child with three parents

A medical procedure that uses DNA from three people as a solution for genetic illnesses passed down through the mitochondria. Sounds neat huh? Well, for many people not so much. You see lots of people are not cool with genetically modifying babies, and for good reason. I'm not going to go deep in the details. If you want,  read some more here. I'll leave you with this. Do you think that this type of scientific research is hurtful or important to humanity?

Three Gorges Dam

This will be more of an interesting fact. So, the Three Gorges Dam is the largest dam in the world. Its located in China. To keep it short, when it was built the workers had to divert a lot of water to the side of the river. This actually affected the rotation of the earth by a fraction. It may seem like nothing, but it's actually no easy feat.

As always here is a link to a video that explains everything on the subject.

Roller Coater, OF DEATH!

Yep, you heard me. This roller coaster is designed to take the souls of those willing to give it away to the heavens. I bet waiting in line must be pretty awkward. Nonetheless, I think we can say it was an original idea, but Is it a good one? Let me know what you think.


Heres an article on said coaster. Have fun!

Some stats about social media sites that caught my eye. Take a look at them and tell me what you think. Me personally, I think google is slowly taking over the internet.

The Sun disappeared, what now?

The Sun just vanished into oblivion. Eight minutes later we humans on Earth find out and the whole world panics. Then the Earth stops orbiting around the sun, because there is none. Our planet is now wondering through the empty void of nothingness that is space.

Do we all die?
Well, yeah. After two or three years without the Sun the surface of our planet would be too cold for us to live well enough. Only people that took shelter underground or in areas that are naturaly heated by the Earths' core would survive, but only for about fifteen to eighteen more years. By the time humans are extinct only microorganisms at the bottom of the ocean would be able to live. So you can say that until Earth is captured into an orbit by another star or it brutally crashes into something, it would just keep on going into outer space. Forever.

The more you know.
