A Japanese company invents a car which runs purely on water

And no, I don’t mean hydrogen. I mean any type of water, and there is no need for recharging of batteries or fuel to start the engine.

I’ve re-assessed my political compass. It used to be:
Economic Left/Right: -5.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.64
As of late last year.

Now it’s:
Economic Left/Right: -6.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.51

Muahahaa, it’s only a matter of time until I unite the left, and turn Australia into a communist paradise.
Get your political compass here.

USA Military Officers Challenge Official Account of September 11

One quote within the artcle:
“Building 7, was never hit by a plane and even NIST is ashamed to advance a reason for its collapse. And, miracle of miracles, these three buildings just happened to be leased and insured by the same guy who is on tape saying they decided to ‘PULL’ the last one to fall.”

I think that just summarises everything quite nicely?

China’s Earthquake Hrmmmm….

All the various theories & arguments behind it’s true nature are too complex and numerous to summarise, so I shall just link to the main discussion thread here, and some interesting news articles:
