100 Years in 10 Minutes (1911 - 2011)

Sex book filled with 200 blank pages storms up charts

Outselling the likes of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by JK Rowling and The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown, 'Professor' Sheridan Simove's publication moved 134,256 places up Amazon's bestseller list to reach number 744.
What Every Man Thinks About Apart From Sex is a completely empty book. What Every Man Thinks About Apart From Sex is a completely empty book.

The book claims to reveal the mysterious workings of the male mind, providing a probing insight into what, other than sex, occupies their thoughts, and recently featured on the ITV1 show Lorraine, with Lorraine Kelly.

However, each of the 200 pages are completely blank.

It seems the £4.69 journal has become a craze on campuses up and down the country, with students using the blank pages to take notes in lectures.

Deadly Iraq war ends with exit of last U.S. troops

Early Sunday, as the sun ascended to the winter sky, the very last American convoy made its way down the main highway that connects Iraq and Kuwait.

The military called it its final "tactical road march." A series of 110 heavily armored, hulking trucks and Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles carrying about 500 soldiers streamed slowly but steadily out of the combat zone.

North Korea says its leader Kim Jong-il has died.

As reported by numerous sources, Kim Jong Il has died at the age of 70 (69 by some tallies), after 17 years as the brutal head of North Korea. While the cause of death is uncertain, Bloomberg News says "Kim probably had a stroke in August 2008 and may have also contracted pancreatic cancer, according to South Korean news reports."

Vision Scientists Demonstrate Innovative Learning Method

New research published today in the journal Science suggests it may be possible to use brain technology to learn to play a piano, reduce mental stress or hit a curve ball with little or no conscious effort. It's the kind of thing seen in Hollywood's "Matrix" franchise.

Experiments conducted at Boston University (BU) and ATR Computational Neuroscience Laboratories in Kyoto, Japan, recently demonstrated that through a person's visual cortex, researchers could use decoded functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to induce brain activity patterns to match a previously known target state and thereby improve performance on visual tasks.

Think of a person watching a computer screen and having his or her brain patterns modified to match those of a high-performing athlete or modified to recuperate from an accident or disease. Though preliminary, researchers say such possibilities may exist in the future.

UK police to test laser weapon that blinds rioters

British police are reported to be testing a new weapon for use against rioters following this summer's violence. The SMU 100 shoots a laser and anyone who looks at it the source will be temporarily blinded. The weapon emits a wall of light measuring around 12 feet square that can temporary impair the vision of targets up to 1,500 feet away.

NASA ignores Arthur C. Clarke, may attempt landings on Europa

Of all the places in our solar system (besides Earth) where life has a real shot at being lifeish, Europa is probably at the top of the list. This is why, in defiance of the warnings in 2010: Odyssey Two, NASA may send a pair of landers to Europa in 2020.

Our best guess is that Europa (one of the larger moons of Jupiter) is covered with a thick coat of ice, beneath which is a warm (or at least liquid) ocean. And if you've got water, and an energy source (Jupiter), all it takes is some happy little organic molecules and you've got life soup. And GIANT AQUATIC SPACE MONSTERS. Maybe...

AI to predict sun's next attack on Earth JUST before noon on 1 September 1859, an English solar astronomer named Richard Carrington witnessed the bigg

JUST before noon on 1 September 1859, an English solar astronomer named Richard Carrington witnessed the biggest solar flare ever recorded. About 18 hours later, an intense magnetic storm hit Earth. Currents induced in telegraph wires in Europe and North America sparked fires.

If the 1859 event were to occur today, it could devastate our modern technological infrastructure. So researchers are now turning to automated image-processing and artificial intelligence to better forecast the sun's behaviour and give us time to prepare for a solar onslaught.
