One of the earliest drawings of the Tower of Babel found on ancient stone tablet
A carving of the Tower of Babel has been found on a stone tablet dating back over 2,500 years. It comes from the newly published book Cuneiform Royal Inscriptions And Related Texts In The Schøyen Collection. The collection is owned by Norwegian businessman Martin Schøyen, who has amassed over 13,000 ancient manuscripts and tablets. One of the images shows King Nebuchadnezzar II, who ruled Babylon 2,500 years ago, standing next to a huge ziggurat – a pyramidlike structure dedicated to the god Marduk that some scholars.../
Japan shaken by 7.0 offshore quake
A 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck under the sea south of Japan on Sunday, shaking buildings in the capital but causing no apparent damage or tsunami. The quake struck near the uninhabited island of Torishima in the Pacific Ocean, about 600 kilometres south of Tokyo, and its epicentre was about 370 kilometres below the sea, the Meterological Agency said. It did not generate a tsunami. Buildings in the Tokyo area shook, but no damage or injuries were reported. Express trains in northern and central Japan were suspended temporarily.../
Bird Flu death man 'caught virus after jogging in park' in China
The 39-year-old Chinese man, identified only by his family name, Chen, died of multiple organ failure on Saturday – a week after being admitted to hospital with pneumonia in the southern industrial city of Shenzhen, located just across the boarder from Hong Kong. "We discovered he had taken five days' leave before he fell sick. He went jogging every morning in an area where there are many migratory birds," said Chinese Health Ministry official He Jianfeng. The medical team are now probing whether Mr Chen, a bus driver, contracted the deadly.../

Transhumanism Turns People Into Slaves to Technology
The gaming industry is into transhumanism. The idea of removing a perfectly good limb and replacing it with one that has super human abilities is the stuff of video games, for now. Deus Ex is a game about transhumanism. Part of the hype for Deus Ex was the creation of a fictitious corporation, Sarif Industries that specializes in human augmentation using artificial body parts. Here is Sarif Industries’ perfect pitch for transhumanism. This is the hard sell for using technology to replace normal body parts augmenting healthy humans beyond normal.../
Goodbye US Constitution! Obama signs law permitting military to arrest and detain American citizens

/'Mind control' scientists can make mice forget bad memories - and the technique could work in humans
Neuroscientists at MIT have found a chemical way to make mice forget bad memories. By deactivating a 'memory gene' - Npas 4 - they found that mice would 'forget' their fear of a chamber where they had previously been given electric shocks. The scientists believe they could be 'closing in' on the areas of the brain where long-term memories are stored - and a technique for controlling these memories. The researchers think that the gene could be crucial for all types of memory. The knowledge would be a breakthrough in our understanding.../
A fabric 'stronger than steel': Scientists crack how to 'farm' spider's webs by making silkworms do the work
Scientists have genetically engineered silkworms to make artificial spider silk. It is hoped the breakthrough could lead to the development of stronger fibres for textiles, bandages for burn victims and bullet-proof vests. The GM silkworms spin tough fibres containing spider silk proteins that are more elastic and extensible, making it more suitable for use in a range of medical applications. Territorialism and cannibalism among spiders pose challenges to spider farming as a viable means of manufacturing silk. Dr Donald Jarvis, of the University.../
Is a super-volcano just 390 miles from London about to erupt?
A sleeping super-volcano in Germany is showing worrying signs of waking up. It's lurking just 390 miles away underneath the tranquil Laacher See lake near Bonn and is capable of ejecting billions of tons of magma. This monster erupts every 10 to 12,000 years and last went off 12,900 years ago, so it could blow at any time. It covered 620 square miles of land with ash and rocks and several small earthquakes in the region last year indicate that it could be awakening from its deep sleep. Experts believe that if it did go off, it could lead to widespread.../

Pastor accused of injuring, causing man's death
A trial date of April 16 has been set in the civil suit against a former Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) pastor accused of injuring a 71-year-old man and causing his eventual death, according to court documents. Documents filed by an attorney for David Rhodes claim that Stephen Eugene Galiher in April 2009 was drinking with TBN's president and founder at the Island Hotel in Newport Beach, where Galiher was doing work for the Costa Mesa-based network. TBN's president allegedly watched an intoxicated Galiher drive away to a.../
