An Atheist In The Wood
2007-11-24 11:03:00 An atheist was walking through the woods. "What majestic trees"!"What powerful rivers"!"What beautiful animals"!He said to himself.As he was walking alongside the river,he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him.He turned to look. He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him.He ran as fast as he could up the path.He looked over his shoulder & saw that the bear was closing in on him.He looked over his shoulder again, and the bear was even closer.He tripped and fell on the ground.He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear was right on top of him,reaching for him with his left paw & raising his right paw to strike him.At that instant the Atheist cried out, "Oh my God!"Time Stopped.The bear froze.The forest was silent.As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky."You deny my existence for all these years,teach others I don't exist and even credit creation to cosmic accident.""Do you expect me to help you out of this predicament?Am I to cou...

Half Man Half Tree
2007-11-16 08:28:00 With his rootlike feet and gnarled hands, he is known as "The Tree Man".Living in a remote village in the wilderness of Indonesia, 36-year-old father-of-two Dede has stunned medical experts. Most of his body is covered in growths which have become so large and thick they look like twisted tree roots growing out of his skin. Dede says his worst fear is that the cruel disorder will kill him before doctors have a chance to save him."I am scared that it will grow across my face and end up covering it all up," the former construction worker says. "I'm so afraid I won't be able to see, that I won't be able to eat."Dede grew up in a tiny hamlet near Bandung, south of Jakarta, the capital of the volcanic island of Java. He enjoyed a completely normal childhood, but just after he turned 15 he cut his knee in an accident on a building site. The injury - not deemed to be at all serious at the time - was to change his life forever. Within weeks, a huge growth had emerged from inside his woun... More About: Half

Google Phone
2007-09-05 12:35:00 Google Mobile Phone is Coming(Gphone)Google has been lobbying the U.S. Goverment for changes in wireless policy. While it did not achieve as much as it wanted in the planning for the upcoming 700 Mhz spectrum auction in January, it did push for the fact that consumers in the U.S. can buy any phone and use it on any carrier in the future. Meaning that when the Gphone does drop, most likely you'll be able to use it on any carrier you please. The Gphone will most likely be 3G as well, which means video conferencing.
