How about these stereo headphones that transmit sound vibrations through users skull bones rather than their eardrums?
The Royal Caribbean Cruise ship Explorer of the Seas steamed upriver on its way to State Pier in New London this morning.
Since the cruise ship Explorer of the Seas is powered by gas turbine engines, why did they say she steamed upriver?
It must be that we just can’t be logical and nautical at the same time.
A palatial pleasure yacht with swimming pools, opulent salons and, should the winds of war blow, a rocket launcher and mini-submarine.
The sale of the 269-foot Ocean Breeze [pictured], built for Saddam Hussein and docked on the French Riviera, could be thwarted, however, if Iraq can prove it belongs to someone in the late dictator's entourage — and now, therefore, to the government in Baghdad.
The yacht was built in 1981 and was originally named Qadisiyah Saddam. It was stored in Saudi Arabia's Red Sea port of Jiddah in 1986. The Yacht has been renamed Ocean Breeze and is now in the harbor at Nice, on the French Riviera.
The yacht has an asking price of Euro 23.5 million (US $34 million).

Some of the comments from the site are:
The UFOs are just too big to be water towers (and there’s no shadow).
Definitely they’re NOT marks for picture stitching. In most stitching software (like for making panoramas) the algorithm comes down to finding sharp and contrasting details and aligning those spots with each other
Condensation inside some sort of housing would be my guess. If the drop were directly on the lens it would be effectively invisible. Put it a few inches/feet away and have the camera shooting with a very deep depth of field (as you would with a small aperture) and it would look just like that anomaly.
I’m sure the photos do not show alien spacecraft. They are not out of this world but they are interesting to look at. Anomalies perhaps, but not flying saucers.
Talk of a Clinton blueprint reminds Lucianne of an old cartoon showing two prisoners chained hand and foot to a cement wall. One says to the other, "I have a plan."
Here is something for that ‘hard to buy for’ person on your Christmas shopping list.
International Falls, Minnesota now has the dubious distinction of owning the "Icebox of the Nation" title.The city on the Canadian border had been fighting the ski town of Fraser, Colorado for the legal right to the trademark.
International Falls claimed victory this week when the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office sent the city attorney a certificate granting the community Reg. No. 3,375,139.
International Falls, Minnesota took the “Icebox” title but no one can take the scenic beauty away from Fraser, Colorado (lower photo).

The FPS (frames per second) of the camera were exactly synchronized with the rotation of the helicopter blades making the blades appear to be motionless.
The iPhone was designed to be used only on Apple's exclusive partner AT&T.One million iPhones, or 27% of those sold last year, have been adapted to work on other networks.
Apple recently admitted that the number of unlocked iPhones was "significant".
The iPhone, which was launched last summer, is tied to a single phone network in each country it is on sale.
While AT&T is Apple's chosen partner in the US, in the UK the iPhone is only officially available through O2, while in Germany it is tied to T-Mobile.
The first iPhone ‘unlock’ in the U.S. was soon after the phone was first released last summer.
A college student hacked his iPhone and put it on a T-Mobile network
At that time Apple announced that iPhones would stop working if tempered with. Apparently the Apple iPhone lock is not very secure.

1. Your cell phone is extremely unlikely to blow up your gas tank. [this may have had some validity in the early years of cell phones but static sparks from sliding out of your car seat at a gas station was always a much greater risk].
2. Starbucks (or Target, or insert name of retailer here) does not hate veterans.
3. A dying 7-year-old girl did not write a moving poem that will raise money for cancer.
4. The United States is not merging with Canada and Mexico in 2010.
5. There is no "Life is Beautiful" computer virus.
The writer goes on to explain how e-mail claims can be checked:
Type the words "Internet hoax" into an Internet search.
You'll find several sites that specialize in tracking down the truth or falsity of rumors. His favorite is snopes.com.
In turn, those sites usually have their own search function. (Don't be fooled, by the way, by e-mails that claim to have been "checked out." Do it yourself anyway.)
