Today, 55 years ago, we the Dutch were once again confronted with the power of the sea. The colossal disaster happened on February the 1st 1953. It was to be one of the biggest floods in the history of the Netherlands.
A combination of spring tide and a mighty storm made the water surge over the dikes. 1,835 People drowned, 46,000 houses were damaged and 322,500 acres of land flooded.
What factors influenced the flood, where did the flood damage occur, and what was the scope of the flood?

Hummer Scooter
While design of heavy pickup trucks is intended for transporting large objects in construction work, the main appeal of a Hummer is that it looks big and dominant. The Hummer brand is all about strength and capability, but for some reason the smaller and less capable the Hummer, the better it sells.
That's probably why Italian designer Oberdan Bezzi penned the Hummer H2 450 scooter. Although I admire Bezzi's drawing skills, this is just an ugly moped.

The Number 23 Frequency Enigma
The letter W is the 23rd letter of the alphabet. The symbol for that letter is two points down and three points up (23).
The first landing on the Moon was in the Sea of Tranquility, 23.63 degrees East. Second landing was in the Ocean of Storms, 23.42 degrees West. Notice the names of the picked sights and how they contrast. Note: First two landings were Apollo 11 and 12 (11 + 12= 23). Just exactly what does NASA know?
The first song on Side A of the Beatles first album took 23 takes to record.
In one episode of the X-Files, Agent Mulder goes to the apartment of a recently deceased man and we see the number 23 on the door as he is let in.

The Church Of Google
We at the Church of Google believe the search engine Google is the closest humankind has ever come to directly experiencing an actual God. We believe there is much more evidence in favor of Google's divinity than there is for the divinity of other more traditional gods.
We reject supernatural gods on the notion they are not scientifically provable. Thus, Googlists believe Google should rightfully be given the title of 'God,' as She exhibits a great many of the characteristics traditionally associated with such Deities in a scientifically provable manner.

Museum Of Organs
A pipe organ is a musical instrument that produces sound by blowing air through a series of hollow tubes controlled by keyboards. Pipe organs are distinguished from reed organs, in which air causes thin strips of metal to vibrate.
They are also distinguished from electronic organs that use electrical devices to produce sounds similar to pipe organs. The large pipe organs used in public buildings are by far the biggest and most complicated musical instruments ever built.

Kolmanskop
Kolmanskop (or Kolmannskuppe) is a ghost town in southern Namibia, Africa. It developed after the discovery of diamonds in the area in 1908, to provide shelter for workers from the harsh environment of the Namib Desert. The village was built like a German town, with facilities like a hospital, ballroom, power station, school, skittle-alley, theater and sport-hall, casino, and ice factory.
Kolmanskop declined after World War I as diamond prices crashed. It was abandoned in 1956 but has since been partly restored. The geological forces of the desert mean that tourists can now walk through houses knee-deep in sand.

10 Strange Coincidences
In 1883, Henry Ziegland broke off a relationship with his girlfriend who, out of distress, committed suicide. The girl's brother was so enraged that he hunted down Ziegland and shot him. The brother, believing he had killed Ziegland, then turned his gun on himself and took his own life.
But Ziegland had not been killed. The bullet, in fact, had only grazed his face and then lodged in a tree. Some years later Ziegland decided to cut down the large tree, which still had the bullet in it. The task seemed so formidable that he decided to blow it up with a few sticks of dynamite. The explosion propelled the bullet into Ziegland's head, killing him.

It is believed that the original potato chip recipe was created by chef George Crum, at Moon's Lake House near Saratoga Springs, New York, on August 24, 1853. He was fed up with a customer who continued to send his fried potatoes back, because he thought they were too thick and soggy.
Crum decided to slice the potatoes so thin that they couldn't be eaten with a fork, nor fried normally in a pan, so he decided to stir-fry the potato slices. Against Crum's expectation, the guest was ecstatic about the new chips.

Yes, it's conspiracy time again. The NASA STS-75 mission in December 1996 ran a trial experimental tether that was to be used for towing and placing satellites into orbit.

Mrs. Giocondo, whose maiden name was Gherardini, was married to Francesco del Giocondo, a wealthy silk merchant in Florence and was first linked to the painting in 1550, about 50 years after it was finished.
But doubts persisted and theories multiplied, including one about Mona Lisa being a man and another that she was Leonardo's version of the ideal female, not a real person.
Tesla Downunder
A Tesla coil is a type of resonant transformer, named after its inventor, Nikola Tesla. Tesla coils consist of two, or sometimes three, coupled resonant electric circuits and are used to produce high voltages at high frequencies. Voltages can get to be well above 1,000,000 volts and are discharged in the form of electrical arcs.
Tesla Downunder is an Australian site detailing almost 200 high voltage and other projects. The site shows some amazing photos.

The Yellow Kid
Nowadays, if a cartoon character doesn't have corresponding action figures, lunch boxes, pencils and stickers, it is considered a commercial failure. The first comic strip character to be merchandized in this way was R.F. Outcault's bald, nightshirt-clad Yellow Kid.
Richard Felton Outcault was the creator of two of the most popular comic strip characters of early 20th century America, The Yellow Kid and Buster Brown. Considered to be the first popular comics character, The Yellow Kid was a New York sensation from 1895-98, appearing in two newspapers daily and creating an industry of related merchandise.

Nazca Lines
The Nazca Lines are a series of geoglyphs located in the Nazca Desert, a high arid plateau between the towns of Nazca and Palpa on the Pampas de Jumana in Peru. They were created by the Nazca culture between 200 BC and 700 AD.
There are hundreds of individual figures, ranging in complexity from simple lines to stylized hummingbirds, spiders, monkeys, fishes, sharks, llamas and lizards.
Presurfer reader Rik says he was playing around with Google Earth when he discovered a heart shaped figure with text inside. He says he doesn't know if this is a real geoglyph or a hoax. Neither do I. It can be found south of Lima.

Rods: Fact or Fiction?
Rods were discovered in 1994 with the advent of high speed video cameras. Rods, a rather new entry in
the field of cryptozoology, are said to be creatures which flit about in the air at such a high speed as to not be seen by the naked eye. Rods appear to be observational artifacts produced by rapidly flying animals.
Flying Rods are not taken seriously even by most cryptozoologists. All evidence points to the conclusion that they are mere tricks of light which result from how images are recorded and played back.

Tether Car Racing In The 1940s
Tether Cars are early style model racing cars powered by miniature gasoline engines. Tether cars were developed beginning in the 1920s-30s. First made by hobby craftsmen, tether cars were later produced in small numbers by commercial manufacturers such as Dooling Brothers, Dick McCoy, BB Korn, and many others.
Current racing activity in the U.S. is governed by the American Miniature Racing Car Association with three racetracks in NY, CA and IN. Contemporary tehter cars run at speeds of up to 200+ miles per hour giving them the reputation as fastest model cars in the world. After push-starting the car the driver desides when to take the speed measurement.

Convicted: 10 Notorious Hackers Of Our Time
I'm a former hacker. Therefore I'm always wary when I read an article about hackers. The word has a bad name but it shouldn't. Old school hackers were originally known for applying expertise and skill to getting the maximum benefit out of hardware and software. They were computer enthusiasts who were highly respected and their skills helped the software and hardware industries to advance very quickly in the early days of computing.
However, hackers in general quickly became associated with crime as some of them applied their considerable expertise to illegal activities. These people shouldn't be called hackers, but crackers. Within the IT-related Universities in the USA, there is currently a debate about the usage of the word hacker and there is a proposal that it should only be associated with its original expertise-oriented meaning.
10 Notorious Hackers of Our Time features some people that in my opinion are not real hackers. Like Kevin Mitnick who got famous because his punishment was excessive. But his primary method of obtaining information was 'social engineering,' the practice of obtaining confidential information by manipulating users.
Then there's Adrian Lamo, who's only real skill was 'exploiting misconfigured proxy servers.' He didn't even know what operating system the New York Times was running when he infiltrated it via proxy server.

You should care for your Triple-Nipple as if it were yor own son or daughter. The care you give your Triple-Nipple is an expression of your character as a person, or as an interested onlooker of Triple-Nipple activity.

Chocolate Poisoning In Dogs
Here's something I didn't know. Chocolate can be a poison for dogs. Chocolate contains theobromine, a compound that is a cardiac stimulant and a diuretic. When affected by an overdose of chocolate, a dog can become excited and hyperactive.

Since people can choose their own categories and the site doesn't seem to be monitored, you can sometimes find sounds that do not belong in a particular category. I found the sound of windshield wipers of a Toyota Matrix in the category animals.

But remember that Needies always know when other Needies are getting touch. If one Needie is getting touch while others are neglected, the unloved Needies will conspire to take its place.
