Now this is something that really caught my eye when I was reading for news online, (yup, it’s from Yahoo. I set my browser’s homepage to news.yahoo.com not to Facebook FYI haha ).

If you’ve been watching your local news channel, (or been reading this blog ), Chile was hit with a massive 8.8 magnitude earthquake that caused the lives of many Chilean and destruction to property.

According to a NASA scientist, Richard Gross, the Chile earthquake changed the Earth’s rotation, and may have shortened the length of days on our planet?

Whoa? Really? Check out the info below.

Foo Fighter’s band frontman Dave Grohl (he’s also the former drummer of the famed defunct grunge band, Nirvana) has recently revealed his new band. The name of the band? Themed Crooked Vultures.

As music lover myself (and a Dave Grohl fan too ), this came as a surprise for me,;one, that Dave Grohl has a new band and second, that the Foo Fighters band is now a defunct band!(or at least in hiatus ).

Now I know I have been detached from the music world that long.

Accidents cannot be prevented to a certain degree – it may however be minimized to a managable state. Even professionals in their fields still stumble to an accident or two.

One good example are professional players, like basketball players. Although these players have played for years, they still experience an accident or two.

This is what happened with Shaun White. Snowboarder star Shaun White was doing his practice run when he miscalculated his “DoubleMcTwist 1260” trick. He almost hit his head when he had this accident.

Check out his video below.

Everyone may have heard of “one-hit-wonder” songs, but this one’s kind of ridiculous… in a good way that is.

I’ve never had the chance to watch American Idol on TV because of my busy schedule, but when this song got viral on the internet, I cannot help myself from watching this video.

What’s the song about you say? Well, Simon said, “I have a bad feeling that song could be a hit” when he heard this song.

Burj Dubai (literally means Dubai Tower), a building constructed in Dubai, is set to be the tallest building in the world come January 10, 2010 – its date of official opening. Yes, not in the Middle East, not in Asia, but the whole world. Coming from a country who has the obvious resources to do such feat, its no surprise that such building will be built there.

It was reported that the height of the Burj Dubai building is around 800 meters – which is significantly higher than the Taipei 101 building (the former highest building in the world), spanning only 508 meters.

Now I’m not that into the Math-thingy but I know 800 meters is way high.

Did you remember those Nintendo games you used to play in your living room or those Sega games you played at your friend’s place? Well, remember no more as the Angry Video Game Nerd is here to let you “experience again” the glory of old gaming – in a new way that is. Read more…

I just stumbled on this over the internet, “Good Riddance Day“. Am I the only one who doesn’t know that there is such a celebration?

Well, I researched it over the net and I found out that this is just a recently created celebration. The Good Riddance Day (December 29, 2009) celebration is on its 3rd annual celebration. It is celebrated in New York, USA (in Times Square specifically).

So what is celebrated during Good Riddance Day? From the name of the celebration itself you can easily identify the objective of the celebration; to forget and “destroy” all the bad vibes of the past year!
