Les Yes Men mettent le feu à Exxon !

... Devant une respectable assemblée de 300 professionnels du secteur, Mike et Andy - s’exprimant respectivement au nom d’Exxon Mobil et du National Petroleum Council (NPC) - ont tenu publiquement des propos pour le moins surprenants. Le faux représentant du NPC a en effet présenté les résultats très attendus d’une étude ordonnée par Samuel Bodman, actuel secrétaire américain en charge de l’énergie....
Établissant un parallèle subtil entre les ressources tirées de la chasse aux baleines et celles susceptibles d’être dégagées d’un recyclage industriel du volume de chair humaine rendu disponible par une catastrophe, Shepard Wolff a, au nom du NPC, présenté le Vivoleum, un produit énergétique révolutionnaire inventé par Exxon Mobil et permettant de tirer un profit de l’exploitation des résidus des futurs cadavres.

5 acres glacier lake dries out in 2 months, chile

SANTIAGO, Chile
The melting of nearby glaciers or cracks in the ground caused by an
earthquake were proposed by scientists Thursday as possible causes for
the disappearance of a five-acre glacial lake in southern Chile...

As glaciers retreat, glacial lakes form behind natural dams of ice or
moraine, earth and stones pushed up by a glacier. These relatively weak
dams can be breached suddenly, causing the lake to drain. Possible
causes for the dam to be breached include a sudden input of water into
the lake, an earthquake or avalanches of ice or rock.

world pulling pranks at corporate events.

...

Organizers apologized for the incident saying they were
approached by what they thought was a reputable company offering
speakers from the Petroleum Council.

Out of This World: 60 Years of Flying Saucers

... never have flying saucers been a bigger part of the zeitgeist
than they are now. In 2002, a Roper poll found that one in seven U.S.
citizens claim to have seen a UFO or know someone who's had an alien
encounter. A recent survey estimated half the U.S. population believes
the media is conditioning the public for our first alien encounter.
Every year, thousands of UFO sightings are made worldwide. The numbers
reported to the authorities or media are difficult to gauge -- and even
the most die-hard ufologists admit that the majority of sightings can
be explained as aircraft, mirages balloons, snow showers or orographic
clouds.
