Largest Specimen ever landed on earth!

Fishermen’s in Wellington, New Zealand was fishing for Pantagonian toothfish , sold under a name called Chilean Sea bass when they caught a humongous colossal squid that weigh half a ton which is known as the largest specimen landed on the earth.. with a toothfish hooked on it! The squid estimate about 990 Ibs and about 39 feet long which took them approximately 2 hours to land it in the Antarctic waters.
The Colossal squid, also known by its scientific name Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni, are estimated to grow up to 46 feet long and have long been one of the most mysterious creatures of the deep ocean.
If the original estimates are correct, the squid would be 330 pounds heavier than the previous largest specimen ever found in history."I can assure you that this is going to draw phenomenal interest. It is truly amazing," said Dr. Steve O'Shea, a squid expert at the Auckland University of Technology. If calamari rings were made from the squid they would be the size of tractor tires, The Colossal squid can descend to 6,500 feet and are extremely active, aggressive hunters, he added.The frozen squid will then be brought to New Zealand's national museum, Te Papa, in the capital of Wellington to be conserved for further studies.
The Marine scientists Anderton added that they "will be very interested in this amazing creature as it adds immeasurably to our understanding of the marine environment,"
Nevertheless, the colossal squid are only found in the Antarctic seas which are not associated with the giant squid found around the coast of New Zealand. The Giant squid could develop as extensive as 39 feet, but are certainly not as heavy as the colossal squid.

Naked buttocks predict future



Clairvoyant Ulf Buck, A 39 year old blind psychic from Meldorf, northwest of Hamburg, Germany, claims that people's buttocks could be use to predict ones future. He asserts that they have the similar outline like those on the palm of the hand, which can be read to disclose much about their personality and fate. By means of his fingers he could identify along a number of lines on the facade of a client's bare buttocks; he says he can notify them about their future financial accomplishment, family existence, wellbeing and happiness. He says lines representing achievement, career and artistic skills usually extend inwards from the outer boundary of the buttocks, while an additional five lines spread outwards. "An apple-shaped, muscular bottom indicates someone who is charismatic, dynamic, very confident and often creative. A person who enjoys life," he said. "A pear-shaped bottom suggests someone very steadfast, patient and down-to-earth." He is quick to fire any suggestion that his buttock examining might be aggravated by anything other than an indisputable aspiration to predict people's future.

Stones in toenails?


A 23 year old girl from Taman Cempaka, Durian Tunggal, Malaysia had become an overnight sensation when she produced multicolored crystal-like stones from beneath her toenails which left the doctors mystified. When the skin under Siti Suhana’s toenails unwrap, it releases a stone and then closes itself again. She said that the stone usually comes out in a group of fives, but during the past few days only two marble-sized stones became visible, she said. One was known to be green in color and the other was reminiscent of a pearl. About 10 minutes before a stone comes out, Siti Suhana will unquestionably experience nausea and toothache. "At that time, I can’t think of the pain. I just want the stones to be out. "Sometimes they even come out when I’m asleep," she said, adding that the bigger stones have to be dug out. Last October and November Siti Suhana sought medical advice for her swollen toes. Conversely, the X-rays did not illustrate anything extraordinary in her.

Posting video rights online

Recently, the extensively popular YouTube site has been asked to
removed more than 100,000 unauthorized clips from the sharing website
by Media company Viacom Inc., which owns the cable networks MTV,VH1, Nickelodeon and the Paramount Pictures movie studio.
The online search engine, Google is the parent company which is unwilling
to come to a fair market agreement that would make Viacom content
available to theYouTube users. Both You Tube and Google are made
responsible not to provide proper filtering tools to the users. And
thus, they are required to eliminate inappropriate video clips.
In return, YouTube will comply with the request and will cooperate "with all copyright
holders to identify and promptly remove infringing content as soon as we are officially notified."
In fact, they had been threatened to be sued by the Universal Music Group, a division of French telecommunications giant Vivendi SA as they were known to be a center for pirated music videos, but later reached a licensing deal with them last year.
For instance, the video of the execution of Saddam Hussein, it may be very
disturbing to some of us, however If whoever filmed it had surrendered
his hand phone before the execution, the world may never have seen
beyond the mute, carefully-edited, tastefully-faded-out official video of the proceedings.
Oh well, it has been a new debate about human rights video today, what are the limits of human video rights?? Can it be a part of truth, justice and reconciliation??? hmm.. I am sure that each and every one of us has a different perspective about this issue.
