A group of scientists overseas say world governments should start preparing an action plan in case Earth is contacted by aliens. They claim a branch of the UN should be given responsibility for what they call a "supra-Earth affairs" and come up with a detailed response for if or when the extraterrestrials arrive.

Craig Yoe, a child of the '60s and now a grandfather of two, as well as the father of a 4-month-old, said he learned it all from comic books. Sex, that is. Yoe, a comic book aficionado, is co-curator of "Comics Stripped," an exhibit that opened this week at New York City's Museum of Sex and traces the titillating history of erotica in comic books. The exhibit will feature 150 artifacts from the Great Depression to the present, including original drawings, illustrated books, comic books, magazines and videos. "Sex comics were entertaining and erotically stimulating, but also educational for younger people in the past," said Yoe. "The Internet serves the same function now as a way to find out what the birds and bees and flowers and trees and Mom and Dad did." One of the featured artists is hippie-era illustrator Robert Crumb, who drew such comics as "Fritz the Cat" and "Keep on Truckin'," where Yoe said he "learned the mechanics of copulation and the joy of free love." Comics entered the mainstream in 1938 with the advent of Joe Shuster's "Superman." But during the Depression, many other artists began "dirty drawings" of busty women, fetishes and even homosexuality. Over the course of the 20th century and beyond, these comics have not only depicted sexual fantasy but have loosened taboos and lampooned popular culture. On June 8, Google, Facebook, Yahoo and a host of other leading web companies will turn on a new way of running web addresses. The system, called IPv6, is designed to stop the world running out of the web addresses that underlie the locating of websites and devices. Currently, just 0.2 per cent of web users have access to the new protocol, however. 'World IPv6' Day is designed to encourage its adoption. Vint Cerf, one of the web’s founding fathers, is leading a global campaign to encourage web service providers and IT managers to switch from the current system, IPv4, to IPv6. The new standard offers many trillions of new web addresses, but cannot be accessed from modems and routers that only use IPv4. It is likely, however, that most of the changes needed will take place without consumers losing access to any part of the web because they will be part of the standard software and hardware upgrade cycle. Astronomers from the Minnesota Planetarium Society have found that the moon's gravitational pull on the Earth changed our planet's position in relation to its axis, making the original alignment of the stars, the basis for the zodiac signs, "off" by about a month. Thus, a thirteenth zodiac sign Ophiuchus was added to the original 12. With the change, the birth days assigned to particular zodiac signs might not be accurate anymore. Minnesota Planetarium Society board member Parke Kunkle said in an interview with Minnesota Star Tribune that the ancient Babylonians based zodiac signs on the constellations the Sun was "in" on the day a person was born. Over time, the moon's gravitational pull has made the Earth "wobble" around its axis, creating a one-month bump in the stars' alignment. "When [astrologers] say that the Sun is in Pisces, it's really not in Pisces," Kunkle said in the interview. Because of additional one month in the cycle, the birthday classifications under each zodiac sign changed as follows: Brace for the worst: You may be a Virgo, scientists say.
There are many newspapers and websites that promise to tell your fortune, detailing where the planets were when you were born and what their future movements suggest about your future. It's called astrology, and whether or not you believe in it, you won't believe this: It's all wrong. Astronomers with the Minnesota Planetarium Society have dropped a bomb on the zodiac, noting that thanks to the millennia-long effect of the moon's gravitational pull on the Earth, there's about a one-month bump in the alignment of the stars. The result? "When [astrologers] say that the sun is in Pisces, it's really not in Pisces," Parke Kunkle, a board member of the Minnesota Planetarium Society, told the Star Tribune. And if the sun isn't in Pisces, YOU'RE not in Pisces. Surprise! You're an Aquarius. |
