Mario, Luigi and other candies get nuked for science.

In this demonstration we will melt down Sodium Chlorate and then drop in a payload of candy goodness. The flame color and power of the reaction can differ based on certain salts or even metal shavings. Check it out!

Captain Price, Soap, Sandman and the rest of the gang boogie down to the beat of World War 3 in this awesome animated Modern Warfare 3 music video.

(Some sNSFW language).

Keith Apicary (Nathan J. Barnatt) who we last saw taking over Kimberly Cole’s music video dance auditions, brings us his a new original song about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Shot entirely in one take, with no special effects, this is pure Apicary right down to the video games and Vanilla Ice references.

What’s your take on this “object” seen precariously close to the sun, at a range where temperatures are estimated at 9,900 Fahrenheit and most spacecraft would burn up?

Photographed by NASA’s Solar and Heliospheric Observatory on April 24th, the image appears to show an artificially constructed object which is hinged with a boom arm.

According to Life’s Little Mysteries, a scientist at the Naval Research Laboratory, or NRL, theorizes the object in space is just a collection of streaks left by cosmic rays that hit the camera’s CCD sensor.

“The streaks in question are consistent with energetic particle (proton) impacts on the CCD, something which is apparent in just about every image,” Nathan Rich, of the NRL’s solar physics branch, told the website.

“These artifacts do not persist from image to image,” Rich added, which suggests the cosmic streaks can explain what UFO proponents are hoping turns out to be an extraterrestrial craft.

A cosmic ray burst on the camera may also account for the “boom arm,” pictured below, that seems to be attached to the hinged “spacecraft.”

Is this just an image artifact or do the ET hunters have genuine reason to start creaming their pants?
