Some Exciting new changes.

No longer a daily thing. But instead ill actually post more content and images per post. About 50 or so with a reasonably educational article. Then again, who even reads this rather unfortunate corner of the internet anyway?

Apophis

Very intriguing. I wonder how the world may turn out if such an object does indeed hit. Then again, it wont do nearly as much damage as the K-T extinction event which was caused by the 10km diameter meteorite that created the Chicxulub crater.

Feb 10 2011 Huge Fkn post.

HEYHEY DO YOU LIKE CHARITY? Well here's a small newsflash.

The Salvation Army says it refuses to distribute Harry Potter and Twilight toys collected for needy children because they're incompatible with the charity's Christian beliefs.
The policy has alarmed a Calgarian who volunteered to sift through a southeast warehouse full of unused, donated items and was alarmed when he was told by Salvation Army officials that the two kinds of toys are "disposed of" and not given to other charities.
"I asked if these toys went to another charitable organizations but was told no, that by passing these toys on to another agency for distribution would be supporting these toys," said the man, who wouldn't give his name due to his occupation.

So donors may have handed over popular toys for distribution, not knowing that the destination was going to be the landfill. And it's not because the Salvation Army is concerned about the quality or educational value of the toys…

"I was told to withhold a six-inch Harry Potter figure, but when I picked up a plastic M-16, I was told, 'That's for the 10-year-olds,'" he said.
