Recycled urine for spacemen

Too bad for astronauts, seems like they will be privy to drinking recycled water from their own urine when they're in space. Transportation costs ofcarrying bringing drinking water through space will greatly be reduced if the urine-recycling system is used to extract drinking water. NASA is still finalizing the system to be used for purifying the urine, as there are three systems they are choosing from, or possibly incorporating together, to make the best possible system to recover clean water. So far they're able to recover 92 percent of the waste water to be made drinkable! Hopefully I'll not be around when the time comes for everyone in the world will be needing to drink this kind of water.

Chinese Panda takes big bite off boy's leg

15-year-old Li Xitao found his lesson pretty painful when male panda Gu Gu took a huge chunk of flesh from the boy's leg at the Beijing Zoo. The bite was so deep that the boy's bones were even showing! Seems curiosity took the better(or worse) of the boy when he jumped over the 4-ft 7-inch barricade around the panda grounds. Gu gu was in the news before for being bitten by a drunk man, which was in retaliation for Gu gu biting him first.

First TV series in MySpace

You've all probably heard of myspace, or even have an account there. Advertisers have found a new way of displaying their products there, this time by featuring a TV series- Roommates. Sponsored by Ford, this reality show features scantily clad college girls dancing around in skimpy bikinis, certain to pull alot of viewers.

Bomb Explosion in Glorietta

Sad news today. There was an explosion in Glorietta 2 Mall in Makati, killing sofar 8 people and injuring more than a hundred. Although a bomb still isn't confirmed, I don't think LPG tanks exploding would've cause the whole floor to collapse, with the escalators and all. The source of the explosion seems to be the storage room of the Chinese restaurant Luk Yuen noodle house. Let's pray for those who departed and hope that those responsible are caught. Guess we shouldn't frequent malls right away.
