Want To See The Real Face Of Jesus?

Since its holy week, I need to post a rather controversial topic... A documentary will be shown today in the US and its about recreating the face of Jesus...

Using cutting-edge technology on the famed Shroud of Turin, a team of computer artists has uncovered what they say may be a portrait of the true face of Jesus.




Viewers should be prepared: The results achieved through the convergence of science and religion doesn't resemble the popularized images of Jesus.

It's impossible to know how close the computer-generated images come to reality, but they'll likely be of tremendous interest, both to believers and to the curious.






This may shock us... and it'll surely test how strong our faith would be...

Wonder how Jesus really looks like...hmmm...

Photos From Outer Space Courtesy Of Hubble Space Telescope

The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is a space telescope that was carried into orbit by the space shuttle in April 1990. It is named after the American astronomer Edwin Hubble. Although not the first space telescope, Hubble is one of the largest and most versatile, and is well-known as both a vital research tool and a public relations boon for astronomy. The HST is a collaboration between NASA and the European Space Agency, and is one of NASA's Great Observatories, along with the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, the Chandra X-ray Observatory, and the Spitzer Space Telescope.



Be fascinated with the photos taken by Hubble... its just so amazing!












like most of us... I'm still awed and mystified by these images... I should' have taken astronomy...

Worst Slam Dunk Contest Ever



And you thought that this year's Slam Dunk contest was boring...




wait 'till you see this...



All I can say is DAMN!

Samurai + Baseball = Baseball Samurai




The samurai used various weapons, but the katana is the weapon that has come to be synonymous with samurai, metaphorically speaking. Bushido teaches that the katana is the samurai's soul and sometimes a samurai is pictured as entirely dependent on the weapon for fighting. They believe that the katana was so precious that they often gave them names and considered them as part of the living. After a male bushi child was born, he would receive his first sword in a ceremony called mamori-gatana. The sword, however, was merely a charm sword covered with brocade to which was attached a purse or wallet, worn by children under five. Upon reaching the age of thirteen, in a ceremony called genpuku (元服), a male child was given his first real weapons and armour, an adult name, and became a samurai. A katana and a Wakizashi together are called a daishō (lit. "big and small").








Baseball is a bat-and-ball sport played between two teams of nine players each. The goal is to score runs by hitting a thrown ball with a bat and touching a series of four bases arranged at the corners of a ninety-foot square, or diamond. Players on one team (the batting team) take turns hitting against the pitcher of the other team (the fielding team), which tries to stop them from scoring runs by getting hitters out in any of several ways. A player on the batting team can stop at any of the bases and later advance via a teammate's hit or other means. The teams switch between batting and fielding whenever the fielding team records three outs. One turn at bat for each team constitutes an inning; nine innings make up a professional game. The team with the most runs at the end of the game wins.



Add them together and what do you got! Entertainment to the highest level!!!!... Watch!

Behold! The First Underwater Car

We only gotta see this kind of cars in Spies or Double agent movies. Due to the ever growing technology, everything can be made possible now.

This beauty is called sQuba...



sQuba is a Rinspeed concept car it was built around the Lotus Elise, it is the world’s first amphibian car.



sQuba is the first real submersible car and its a zero-emission all electric vehicle. It got three electric motors one for to drive on land and two motors to drive underwater. It can be submerged to a depth of 10 metres (33 ft), the car’s top land speed is 120 km/h (75 mph). On the surface of water, the top speed is 6 km/h (3.2 kn; 3.7 mph) and underwater it is 3 km/h (1.6 kn; 1.9 mph). According to Rinspeed, sQuba is made open cockpit to allow the occupants to escape easily in case of emergency.






The price of on one sQuba is pegged at $172,000.

I should buy one in case Ondoy happens again. Or maybe Manny should try to persuade the makers of this car to build a bus and donate it to his constituents, he'll surely win in the elections.



Look at this pretty in action...



Now time to shop for a car that flies!
