The "science" field known as OOPARTS, or "Out Of Place ARTifactS" is a lively area of study with numerous examples. This paper will examine the most popular and least understood specimen, the Coso Artifact. It could be more than 500.000 years old. The outer layer of the specimen was encrusted with fossil shells and their fragments, with two nonmagnetic metallic metal objects in the crust. Stranger still, the inner layer was hexagonal and seemed to form a casing around the hard porcelain cylinde, containing a layer of decomposing copper. What is this strange articfact??

A giant blob of water the size of the Arctic Ocean has been discovered hundreds of miles beneath eastern Asia, scientists report. But nobody will be exploring this sea by submarine. The water is locked in moisture-containing rocks 700 to 1,400 kilometers beneath the surface.
team of scientists will embark on a voyage next week to study an “open wound” on the Atlantic seafloor where the Earth’s deep interior lies exposed without any crust covering. The lesion is located mid-way between the Cape Verdes Islands and the Caribbean in the Atlantic Ocean. It lies nearly 2 miles beneath the ocean surface and extends over thousands of square kilometers; it provides scientists with a rare opportunity to study the Earth’s rocky innards.

Don't try and lick your elbow (You can’t) and other interesting real facts (that are strange and might be true).
Scientists say that an ancient toothed horizon served as part solar observatory at a ceremonial complex. Archaeologists have now discovered that a line of elaborate stone towers erected on a low ridge by Peruvians 2,300 years ago formed an artificial toothed horizon with narrow gaps at regular intervals for making alignments almost exactly spanning the annual arc of the sun. This is the earliest known solar observatory in the Americas.

A map showing which side of the road traffic drives on. If this world map vaguely looks like it’s highlighting a remnant of the British Empire, that’s no coincidence. But right-handedness, a trait shared by 85 to 90% of people, is the reason for the initial preference for left and for the switch to right side driving. See the map.
The Think Tank is a kinetic installation created in collaboration with the artist known as Trimpin. A system of 24 bobbing chickens triggers MIDI pulses, a typewriter controlled by a solenoid array types text, between the two, a computer generates random text based on President George Bush speeches analysis, and chicken pecking activity.

Another great Google Earth sightseeing tour. In Chile’s Atacama Desert, there are many examples of ancient Incan geoglyphs, similar to the Nazca Lines in neighbouring Peru, but spread over a much wider area. In the northern desert the Chiza geoglyphs were made by carefully arranging the dark stones on the light sand to create figures of humans, birds and animals. Further south, we find the geoglyphs at Tiliviche - which is a huge drawing of a whole herd of Llamas being rounded up by a fat guy and a skinny guy. See for yourself.
Jeep Patriot Comics site. is defined as "the first interactive collaborative creation the comic world has ever seen". Yes it does sound very American, but it also seems to be kind of true. Jeep and Marvel drafted the first pages of the story, and now it's up to the users to submit ideas and see them converted into the real story by the pencil of Bing Cansino. The interactive comic is also supported by a tips&tricks section in blog-style, a good idea to catch-up with the project.
