This is a true story. In 2010, a girl was setting up a blanket fort and taking hipster pictures in her room late one summer night. She then heard a voice whispering “SOH CAH TOA” over and over. And then she was attacked by triangles. Now that you’ve read this, the triangles will come for you. If you reblog, the squares will protect you.

This is a true story. A girl died in 1933. A man buried her when she was still alive. The murder chanted, “Toma Sota balcu,” as he buried her. Now that you have read this chant, you will meet this little girl. In the middle of the night she will be on your ceiling. She will suffocate you like she was suffocated. If you reblog this, she will not bother you. Your kindness will be rewarded.

I’m going to say how this is a bunch of crap, but obviously by reblogging it I am insuring my safety. So, sucks to be you guys.

This is ridiculous.

 This is ridiculous but I am very gullible.

Life-Altering NASA Announcement of the Day: A few days ago NASA teased the world with a news conference to be held today at 2PM EST, in which an annoucement will be made concerning “an astrobiology finding that will impact the search for evidence of extraterrestrial life.” So, is there life on Mars as David Bowie has been demanding to know for years? Maybe. But that’s not what NASA wants to discuss.

According to the just-unembargoed research paper “A Bacterium That Can Grow by Using Arsenic Instead of Phosphorus,” the much-debated possibility of a terrestrial “shadow biosphere” (that is, “a second genesis for life on this planet”) has allegedly been confirmed by scientists studying the microbes of California’s arsenic-rich Mono Lake.

From Cosmic Log:

In the paper published today, the researchers report that some of the bacteria could survive on arsenic and incorporate it into their cellular biochemistry. Instead of the usual phosphate-rich DNA, they observed arsenate-rich DNA. Heightened levels of arsenic also showed up in the cell’s proteins and fats. The scientists used mass spectroscopy, radioactive labeling and X-ray fluorescence to confirm that the arsenic was really being used in the biomolecules rather than merely contaminating the cells.

The long and short of it is that, if verified, this would be quite an exciting prospect for those actively searching for extraterrestrial life, because it opens up the possibility that undiscovered alien lifeforms could have a genetic makeup far removed from our own.

How cool is that?

End Of An Era of the Day: MySpace announced today that it will henceforth be allowing users to access accounts with their Facebook IDs in lieu of having to create MySpace accounts from scratch. In addition, Facebook “like” buttons will be added to MySpace content. The move, which some are calling a “full surrender,” is, at the very least, a concession.

One Mashable commenter’s reaction to the news sums it up quite well: “Now if only I actually wanted to login to MySpace.”

Finally ahahaha. Facebook owns everything.
