As we speak, chances are, there's at least one satellite hovering miles above your head. But where? Here's something to help you out on your scavenger hunt: SatFinder from Pedro J is back with an update! All features from the previous version are still there (viewing current locations of satellites and heavenly bodies, the International Space Station, voice alerts, etc.) plus a couple more changes in v1.3.2.

It's not fair that the folks at Switzerland get all the fun. Now, you can build your very own Large Hadron Collider at your backyard (given that your backyard's big enough, of course). Be the Dr. Evil you've always wanted to be and follow the full how-to guide that CERN's published online to create your very own doomsday device! It's simple enough, given that you can understand it all. But once that's done, it's all a matter of piecing it together, right? Aww, c'mon, it's not as tough as it sounds. Read more for instructions!

Shame on the tooth fairy for hoarding centuries' worth of people's teeth! Guess she (or he?) was right on the money all this time. A recent discovery made by Japanese scientists may finally break all ethical obstacles of stem cell research. Instead of cultivating the stem cells from human embryos, the team has found that suitable cells extracted from teeth may be used to develop and grow other types of cells in a laboratory. It's the modern world's wonder cure, baby! Open wiiiiiide.

Video games may not directly induce violence, but hearing bad jokes can. Yes, telling bad jokes can seriously get you hurt. In extreme cases, as some professional comics may attest to, it could get you maimed, bruised, and maybe even bleeding. (They don't call it a "tough crowd" for nothing!) But why is this? A recent study by linguist Nancy Bell of Washington State University may shed light on this horrific punchline. Somebody gonna get a hurt...

Who would have thought that nanotechnology started at such an early stage in the history of our human race? What's more is that, who knew that artistry and scientific discovery could go hand in hind? As it turns out, in European churches dating back to the medieval era, stained glass windows were already acting as modern-day air purifiers. Holy stained glass windows, Batman!

Want some brain food? We're serving a platter of delectable trivial delights to lighten up your day - maybe enlighten your brain too. Here's a list of fifteen facts - probably the most useless facts that you'll even come across, but knowledge is knowledge and it pays to learn certain things too. Who knows, it might save you life one day (especially with the Large Hadron Collider's looming activation date)! Trivia can't get any more trivial than this!

"No one dies tonight... so says the Phoenix!" And most definitely, Polaris (the North Star, not the Marvel character) isn't one to die off just yet. See, observations of Polaris over the last century have led scientists to believe that the star was about to switch itself off. Poof. Snap. Boom. Asplode. What have you. I'm not really certain what sound a star makes when it switches itself off (especially since sound doesn't travel well in a space vacuum), and I don't think we'll find out soon from Polaris. Despite the continuous drop in vibrations from the star's surface, it's managed to jump-start its way back to life! Now that's hot.

QuickJump QuickPeek finally gets a make-over! After a full year of weekly updates, we're now turning over a new leaf and allowing this QJ.NET mainstay to branch out by introducing the Weekend Warriors. Sorry, the Weekend Whattssitts? Hmm, just think of it as the Planeteers summoning Captain Planet. ...Or something - some other equally bad analogy like that at least. Ha! Nonetheless, it's going to be quite interesting from here on out. Here's to yet another year of some crazy weekly updates! And with that, we open the floor for the Weekend Warriors!

Now, personally, my knowledge of Japan looking for aliens is basically limited to that line of toys which eventually gave birth to Optimus Prime and the rest of his Transformers crew. All that might change though, if Japan's little project bears any fruit. Don't look now, but a team of astronomers in Japan are actually planning to scan around the cosmos for aliens. [cue "You Got the Touch" theme song]

Riddle me this: can the Sphinx actually swim to save its life? Apparently, the pyramids and the monumental Sphinx itself are being threatened by flooding waters in Egypt.

And yes. Floods do happen in Egypt, despite it being mostly rocks and sand. Where do the waters come from though? Read more for details.
