It was real!!!! <:O

I was browsing the internet because of the picture of a large rat I saw on a facebook page. Then a user on facebook identified it as a Capybara, which are described as the worlds largest rodent in the world. Rodents are the order of mammals and characterized by having two incisors teeth in the upper and lower jaws(rats, squirrels, beavers, chipmunks, etc.).

At the beginning, I thought Capybaras were just fantasies or myths or ancient animal who just evolved into smaller animal like rats. So, I try to Google it, then accidentally browsed a blog that contains some picture of this animal. I was fascinated by the different animals on their page. Then I discovered another type of rodent called "Nutria", It got the features of a rat but it is ridiculously bigger.

Another kind of animal surprised me, and it is a cat. It is a kind of cat who has larger bone structure than the normal cats, means that, It's a huge cat. It's not a tiger, not as big as a tiger but definitely bigger than your indoor pet cats. They are called "Maine Coons".

WOW, I say. What if your house doesn't have rats, but rather a pest Nutria or Capybara? If that so, I suggest you to have a pet Maine Coon Cats.

4 scariest prediction on our planet

I found this article years ago. It was on the year 2004, I guess. By that time, me and my other relatives are watching discovery channel's specials, The Yellowstone Volcano, it is all about the effects of this phenomenon, how, why, when, where and how much is the area of effect. Scientist predicted that, these events will happen this year, 2010(fingers crossed).

I was afraid that time that I don't want to believe that it will happen, so I tried to research the internet for other sources, first, the internet show me that the bible code predictions are the same as the scientist predicted, giving me reasons to believe it will happen, then I find these 4 predictions.

After reading the article, I realize that there were hollywood movies made base on the two out of four predictions(read the article below), the first movie was, Armageddon, a 1998 film featuring Bruce Willis, it is about the a large meteor that will hit the earth, it is also featured on Discovery Channel. The second movie was, The Day After Tomorrow(2004), the effects of global warming, it also the main topic of the documentary movie, The Inconvenient Truth(2006). And last year(2009), another film was released, 2012, the pole shift and the Yellowstone volcano prediction were visualize in the film. It is relieving that there are people who are concerned about the status of our planet and trying to avoid, protect, and preserve the environment through their own way, like filming to spread the news for us to prepare.


4 Scariest Predictions for Our Planet
Catastrophes that would forever change life as we know it

By Stephen Wagner

Pole Shift

It has long been known that the Earth’s magnetic pole is not stationary – it wanders around. It also reverses. Scientific research has shown that the magnetic poles switch places every few hundred thousands of years. More radical thinkers, however, say that the Earth’s physical poles have shifted significantly in the past – and will so again. They contend that the planet’s crust floats on the liquid magma beneath, like the loose skin on an orange, and can slip position. In a pole shift, Antarctica, for example, could be on the new equator and the Amazon frozen on the new South Pole. Prophets Edgar Cayce and Ruth Montgomery foresaw such a pole shift. And this change can happen, according to Professor, Charles H. Hapgood, not over hundreds of thousands of years, but within days! The effects, as you can imagine, would be catastrophic for human civilization.

Meteor Strike

Most astronomers agree that the Earth will be struck by a large meteor or asteroid sometime in the future. It’s not a matter of if, they say, but when. They don’t expect one anytime soon, but some seers and channelers do. Lori Toye, for example, says she has received messages from four spirit beings that detail a devastating strike by a large meteor in Nevada. On her I Am America website, Toye specifies the horrific effects: drastically altered coastlines that put Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Salt Lake City, Houston, Miami and New York City underwater. Denver and Phoenix would become seaports. And that’s just North America. Futurist Gordon-Michael Scallion has a similar vision of the Earth.

The Yellowstone Super Volcano

Picturesque Yellowstone National Park, one of the most beautiful natural tourist destinations in the world, sits atop one of the largest super volcanoes on the planet. If it erupted, the consequences for the entire planet would be catastrophic. What are the chances it will erupt soon? Geologists say it has an eruption cycle of about 600,000 years and last erupted about 640,000 years ago… meaning, it’s well overdue. And it’s been estimated that Yellowstone’s next eruption could be 2,500 times greater than the Mount St. Helens eruption in 1980. According to The Discovery Channel, which broadcast a documentary about the Yellowstone volcano, “a full-scale eruption of the Yellowstone hot spot would result in a disaster of global proportions." Ash would cover the entire Western half of the United States; the park would be completely wiped out, along with any nearby towns; the plume of ash would reach 20 miles into the atmosphere, lowering global temperatures and plunging us all into a volcanic winter.

Global Warming – Ice Age

Despite the Bush administration’s denial of the facts, most climatologists agree that the Earth is warming. 2005 was the warmest year on record. So what? We’d all like to be a bit warmer, right? It might not work that way. Global warming, ironically, could result in another Ice Age. That seems contradictory, but Art Bell and Whitley Strieber predict in their book The Coming Global Superstorm (on which the movie The Day After Tomorrow was based), that global warming could alter important ocean currents, which to a great degree regulate the Earth’s temperature. These changes in atmosphere and ocean currents will result in devastating storms, hurricanes, tornadoes and more – some of which we are beginning to see in today’s ever more violent weather. It could all lead to a new Ice Age.

Now that I’ve cheered you up, how can we face these catastrophes? The first three are out of our control, if they are going to happen at all in our lifetimes, so there’s not much to be done, unless you want to become an obsessive survivalist. There may be a chance of stopping or slowing global warming, but that will require changes in government and corporate policies. Yet we can all do our part.

Other than that, we can all enjoy every blessed day.

creepy news for halloween

Mysterious Orang Pendek apeman spotted by British expedition

A mysterious ape man reported to inhabit an island jungle has been spotted by British explorers who even managed to get pictures of its footprints.

The team of four British explorers and their Indonesian guide tracked through dense and treacherous jungle in the Kerinci National Park of Sumatra where two of them caught a glimpse of the Orang Pendek - or short man.

The team have brought back hair samples and a piece of palm they hope will provide DNA evidence of the Orang Pendek - a creature sighted in the area since colonial times and reputed to be immensely powerful.

A sample of hair thought to belong to the ape is also being analysed.

The team hopes that by sending the sample to several labs, they will find DNA evidence of the Orang Pendek.

Sightings of the creature go back to the time of colonialism.

Witnesses have described it being about five foot tall and say that it walks on two legs, like a human.

It is also thought to be extremely powerful - with reports of witnesses seeing it ripping apart logs.

After a spate of sightings around Lake Gunung Tuju, in the Kerinci national park, a team from the Devon-based Centre for Fortean Zoology - which investigates unknown species of animals - embarked on a two-week mission to the region to see if they could obtain evidence of the creature.

Richard Freeman, the expedition zoologist and zoological director at the Centre, said he believes that the creature is an unidentified species of ape.

“We are not talking about a unicorn or a griffin, we are talking about an ape that’s unknown to science,” he said.

The team, who have just returned from their two-week expedition, hailed it a success and are awaiting tests.

“We found several sets of tracks in mud and earth,” he said.

“I know those tracks are not made by any species of ape and are not made by any species known to be living in the park.

“It was an ape - but not a known type of ape - it’s more adapted for upright walking.”

Mr Freeman said two of the expedition saw the creature from behind but unfortunately, the team did not manage to get a photograph.
