Japanese Fight Giant Jellyfish Invasion With Jellyfish-Infused Space Candy
A raw caramel craze is sweeping Japan. At the same time, fishermen in the Sea of Japan are tormented by invasive swarms of Echizen Kurage (Nomura’s jellyfish), a giant jellyfish that weighs up to 450 pounds and measures two meters wide. A group of enterprising students at Obama Fisheries High School (located in the Japanese town of Obama no less!) have brought together these disparate phenomena by developing a sweet and salty caramel made out of sugar, starch syrup, and jellyfish powder,…….

Giant worm found in Blue Reef AquariumLooks like something from Men In Black
Aquarists at the Blue Reef Aquarium in Newquay have discovered the identity of a mysterious killer that had been devastating their coral reef display over recent months.
Staff had been puzzled by violent attacks on their fragile living reefs – in some cases the corals had been literally cut in half.
After staking out the display for several weeks, aquarists decided as a last resort to take it apart rock by rock.
Halfway through the process the terrifying perpetrator was finally revealed – a monstrous four-foot-long giant reef worm.

Former Dem Alaska Sen Mike Gravel defends Palin
By way of Hot Air – here is the former Democratic Senator from Alaska, Mike Gravel (now a Libertarian) being interviewed on the left wing Pacifica radio network about Sarah Palin. I’m sure the interviewers expected to get a lot of juicy bad stuff on her. BUT the interview did not go as expected. It’s really funny for the entire 9 minutes.
Here’s Hot Air’s lead-in:

You don’t hear their hearts actually start to break until he says, “Troopergate is going to come out in her favor.” Although the most traumatic part, surely, must have been the exchange about how the mayor of Wasilla’s experience compares favorably to Barack Obama’s. Hey, that’s not in the script.

The Obama Salute and the Search for Eden
The US News & World Report informs us that Obama supporters have invented the "O" salute and want the crowds at the stadium in Denver to greet their leader with the salute.
George Bush had his three-fingered W salute that supporters flashed when greeting him at presidential campaign events in 2000. And now, if a Los Angeles creative agency gets its way, Sen. Barack Obama will see fans meet him with his own salute like the one above. "Our goal is to see a crowd of 75,000 people at Obama’s nomination speech holding their hands above their heads, fingers laced together in support of a new direction for this country, a renewed hope, and acceptance of responsibility for our future," says Rick Husong, owner of The Loyalty Inc. Husong tells me that he got the idea after seeing the famous Obama-Progress poster by artist Shepherd Fairey. "We wanted to get involved some way," he says. So, the agency came up with their own a symbol of hope and progress that also plays off Obama’s name. "We thought, ‘Let’s try and start a movement where even while walking down the street, people would hold up the O and you would know that they were for Obama,’ " says Husong.
And here at Ace of Spades is not only the poster that inspired the salute, but also the Star Trek episode about the university professor/leader of hippy, yippie drop outs searching for Eden that invented the said salute. Note that the leader is known as The One :
August 08, 2008Obama is a Zero
Many commenters have pointed out this hilarious attempt at a new rallying symbol for Obama.
These people are really stretching.
More: Several bloggers have noted the call-back to Star Trek‘s The Way to Eden, but I think Baldilocks was first. For those of us who missed out on TOS, the Enterprise is hijacked by a criminal former university professor and his loyal, hippie-like followers who are attempting to find paradise.

ha ha ha ha Kirk doesn’t like being called "Herbert". I’m old as dirt so I remember how the groovy hippies liked saying things like that to confuse the old folks who don’t even realize they are being mocked. Wanting to check into this a bit more, I found this entry at Wikipedia about the episode.
The group quickly shows a disrespect for authority and demands to be taken to a planet they call "Eden" (a reference to Garden of Eden). Eden’s existence is believed to be a myth however. The group refuses to cooperate with Kirk, calling him "Herbert", an insulting reference to his rigid and limited ideals.
The group is impressed by Mr. Spock however, who gestures with an oval "symbol of peace" the party makes with raised hands, and speaks of "The One". Believing Spock is on "the level", the group gives Spock more respect and agrees to go with him to sick bay for a medical examination. Medical scans reveal the party to be in good health, all except for Dr. Sevrin, who is shown to be a carrier of the Synthecoccus Novae virus, which has been accidentally created by technological society. Sevrin’s disease is fatal to anyone who hasn’t been vaccinated, but he nonetheless insists that the planet of Eden will somehow "cleanse" him. After interviewing Sevrin, Spock believes him to be clinically insane

Read how the episode turns out. The Eden that The One leads them to turns unexpectedly deadly. Moral of the story: Be careful following former professors with extravagant rhetoric & dreams, strange hand signals and big ears. He might not really be The One we have all been waiting for.

Unicorn-like deer spotted in Italy
ROME, June 11 (UPI) — Officials at a nature center in Italy have spotted a 10-month old deer that looks a lot like the mythical unicorn, the Italian news agency ANSA reports.
Instead of a normal pair of antlers, the young buck has only a single horn.
"Our deer may be aware that he is different since he doesn't allow himself to be seen very easily," Gilberto Tozzi, director of the Prato Natural Science Center in Tuscany, told ANSA.—-BREITBART.com
100 year-old rare animal found in Duhuk Duhuk – Voices of Iraq
Wednesday , 18 /06 /2008 Time 8:58:37
Duhuk, Jun 17, (VOI) – A group of persons accidentally found a 100-year-old rare animal, according to deputy rector of Duhuk University for scientific affairs on Tuesday.
"The animal, found accidentally this week in Bajiel region in Aqra district, western Duhuk, is unlike any other animal. It feeds on reptiles and bugs," Hassan Amin told Aswat al-Iraq – Voices of Iraq – (VOI).
"After watching the short movie made by a group of ordinary persons, we can say that the extinct animal is more than 100 years-old and is related to the Dragon family," Amin explained.
"We have discussed the issue with two specialized centers in Germany and Britain to know more details about this animal, which was discovered in the country for the first time," he noted.
Duhuk is located 460 km north of Baghdad.

Phone home: Purported UFO video to be shown Friday
A video that purportedly shows a living, breathing space alien will be shown to the news media Friday in Denver.
Jeff Peckman, who is pushing a ballot initiative to create an Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission in Denver to prepare the city for close encounters of the alien kind, said the video is authentic and convinced him that aliens exist.
"As impressive as it is, it’s still one tiny portion in the context of a vast amount of peripheral evidence," he said Wednesday. "It’s really the final visual confirmation of what you already know to be true having seen all the other evidence."
When Peckman went before city officials this month to discuss his proposed ET initiative, he promised to show the video.
Peckman said the general public will have to wait to see it because it’s being included in a documentary by Stan Romanek.
"No one will be allowed to film the segment with the extraterrestrial because there is an agreement in place limiting that kind of exposure during negotiations for the documentary," he said.
But people won’t have to wait too long to see it for themselves.
"There is an open, public meeting in about a month in Colorado Springs," Peckman said. "We’ll hope to do one in Denver at some point, and then in a few months, there will be the documentary that anybody can have, and it’ll have the footage."
An instructor at the Colorado Film School in Denver scrutinized the video "very carefully" and determined it was authentic, Peckman said.
Peckman, 54, said the video was among the reasons he was "compelled" to launch the proposed ballot initiative, which has generated news as far as South Africa.
"It shows an extraterrestrial’s head popping up outside of a window at night, looking in the window, that’s visible through an infrared camera," he said. The alien is about 4 feet tall and can be seen blinking, Peckman said earlier this month.
In a statement, Peckman said "other related credible evidence" proving aliens exist will be shown at Friday’s news conference, too.
In 2003, Peckman authored an off-beat ballot initiative that would have required the city to implement stress-reduction techniques. The "Safety Through Peace" initiative failed, but garnered 32 percent of the vote.
