N.C. Church: Tom Brady headed for Hell

Tom Brady’s sluggish start isn’t his biggest problem, a North Carolina church says. It’s his destination in the afterlife.

The Amazing Grace Baptist Church put Brady on a list of athletes it claims are headed to Hell for their misdeeds among the mortals.

Cardinals QB Matt Leinart and former NFL player Adam Archuleta — currently with the UFL’s Las Vegas Locos — join Brady on the list. Also on there: NASCAR’s Richard Petty and Joakim Noah of the Chicago Bulls.

Earth, Moon, and Jupiter, as Seen From Mars

What does Earth look like when viewed from Mars? At 13:00 GMT on 8 May 2003, the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) had an opportunity to find out. In addition, a fortuitous alignment of Earth and Jupiter—the first planetary conjunction viewed from another planet—permitted the MOC to acquire an image of both of these bodies and their larger satellites. At the time, Mars and the orbiting camera were 139 million kilometers (86 million miles) from Earth and almost 1 billion kilometers (nearly 600 million miles) from Jupiter.

Owl in a Box

While driving to work last week we found a large, great horned owl on the side of the freeway next to a tall concrete wall. He could fly, but not very well (he looked like he may have gotten clipped by a car).

We caught him in mid-flight before it got out in traffic and I somehow managed to not get bitten or ripped open by his claws.

We were on the way to work so we had to bring him with us.   He was pretty mad so it was really tricky to photograph him. I had to hold him with one hand in my lap and work the camera with the other hand.

One of the homeowners we met with that day gave us a box, so that made things quite a bit easier.  We dropped him off at a state park and an animal rescue organization sent a team to come pick him up (I’m not sure if they knew he was already in a box).

Terrifying Sniper Prank on Japanese TV

A Japanese hidden camera show called ‘Panic Face King’ goes extreme on this poor guy, luring him into a fake meeting in which everyone is killed by a sniper except for him. He is definitely the panic face king.

Not to mention, they put a gun to his head and pull the trigger for an even more terrifying result.

The action starts around the 40 second mark.
