Raleigh, N.C. — Police arrested Joseph Carnevale, a N.C. State student, last week for his involvement in the creation of what some consider to be the world’s greatest cone monster. Though we assume many a passerby were shocked, Blogadilla appreciates Mr. Carnevale taking one for the team.

Update from Heywood: According to WRAL.com, this is Joseph Carnevale. He looks pissed.:

Update #2 from Heywood: Here’s an interview with Joseph Carnevale — apparently the company whose construction barrels were stolen doesn’t want to press charges, but they do want Carnevale to recreate the monster at their company headquarters, potentially even for money!

Carnevale hasn’t decided whether or not he’ll build the monster, but either way, the police say they’re still pressing larceny charges against Carnevale. BOO!!

Scientists at the GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung (Center for Big-Ass Ion Research) have created “Element 112” – the newest addition to the periodic table of elements. They did this by getting lead and zinc really drunk and smashing them together. Until the official name is declared within six months, this element will be provisionally called Ununbium (Uub) or Eka-mercury.

Name Suggestions for Element 112:
• Bigassium
• Helmholtzzentrumfürschwerionenforschungium
• Jumbonium
• Ausgezeichnetium
• Illudium Phosdex (the Shaving Cream Atom)
• Huskyium
• Energon
• Großefraulienium
• Ziff (the Mormon Metal)
• Orichalcum
• Overactiveglandium
• Carbonite
• Tubbyium
• Wonderflonium
• Amazonium/Feminum (the Wonder Woman Metal)
• Bloatium
• Upsidaisium
• Dilithium

Охуеть!
(awesome!)

Google translation offered испытывающий страх! as “awesome,” though it actually means “someone experiencing fear.”
That is awesome.

(Thanks Gordin and Kerran!)

The Face – The infamous “Face on Mars” is so 1977. The odd-shaped hill in the Cydonia region of Mars had a face-like appearance due to the lighting and angle of the Viking 1 orbiter image. Subsequent higher resolution images reveal that this hill does not actually have a face on it . . . it’s more of a “mask.”



The Bunny – In March 2004, the Opportunity Rover and Lander cameras caught images of this small rabbit-eared “thing”, which was blown across their fields of view. Further analyses by NASA/JPL solve the mystery: a piece of insulation. Though it could easily look like some multi-legged martian creature.



The Martian Skull – In 2006 an “independent researcher” claims to have identified a skull (or helmet-shaped thing) in one of the panoramic photos taken by the Mars Spirit Rover. Most likely identification: a rock. However, our Blogadilla forensic sketch artist (me) has taken liberties to make it look more alien-skull-helmet like.
