Richard described the impact as “a punch in the chest,” and initially thought some debris had been kicked up by his lawn mower. When the 68-year-old reached under his sweater and removed the cell phone clipped to his overalls to see if it had been damaged by the impact, a single .45 caliber bullet dropped into his lap.</i></p> </blockquote> <p>What are the chances of this happening?</p> <p><a target="_blank" href="http://video.yahoo.com/watch/3961227/10751126"><img style="margin: 4px;" title="razrunderfire" src="http://www.boygeniusreport.com/wp-content/uploads/razrunderfire.jpg" width="500" height="187"/></a></p> <p>[ <a href="http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2008/11/21/motorola-razr-takes-fire-literally-saves-mans-life/" target="_blank">BGR</a> ]</p>http://upsilamba.com/post/60894582http://upsilamba.com/post/60894582Fri, 21 Nov 2008 10:48:50 -0600<p>A guy who lost his finger tip (nails, bones) had it completely re-grown.</p> <p><a href="http://www.nationalpost.com/news/story.html?id=941552" target="_blank">Military researchers use nanoscaffolding to regrow limbs, organs</a>.</p>http://upsilamba.com/post/60518646http://upsilamba.com/post/60518646Wed, 19 Nov 2008 09:29:06 -0600“There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

The shadow of the Moon can be seen darkening part of Earth. This shadow moved across the Earth at nearly 2000 kilometers per hour. Only observers near the center of the dark circle see a total solar eclipse - others see a partial eclipse where only part of the Sun appears blocked by the Moon. This spectacular picture of the 1999 August 11 solar eclipse was one of the last ever taken from the Mir space station, which was deorbited in a controlled re-entry in 2001.</p>http://upsilamba.com/post/52504427http://upsilamba.com/post/52504427Tue, 30 Sep 2008 17:52:52 -0500<p>Any picture taken from 200miles above the Earth looks cool.</p> <p><img alt="Hurricane Ike" title="Hurricane Ike" src="http://www.nasa.gov/images/content/271871main_iss017e015162_lo.jpg" align="bottom" border="0" width="570" height="437"/></p> <p>Hurricane Ike was still a Category 4 storm on the morning of Sept. 4 when this photo was taken from the International Space Station’s vantage point of 220 miles above the Earth.</p> <p>[ <a href="http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/multimedia/hurr_ike.html" target="_blank">more</a> ]</p>http://upsilamba.com/post/51173132http://upsilamba.com/post/51173132Sun, 21 Sep 2008 21:34:47 -0500<p>It is surprising that these tiny animals called “water bears” survived a 10-day space journey in extreme heat, cold, cosmic rays and deadly UV radiation, without air, water or food.</p> <p>And once back on earth, some of them went on to reproduce!</p> <p><img src="http://dsc.discovery.com/news/2008/09/09/gallery/tardigrade-380x540.jpg" alt="Tough Space Traveler" width="380" border="0" height="540"/></p> <p>[ <a href="http://dsc.discovery.com/news/2008/09/09/tardigrade-space.html" target="_blank">Discovery</a> ]</p>http://upsilamba.com/post/50005435http://upsilamba.com/post/50005435Sat, 13 Sep 2008 11:17:00 -0500
