SURFING KOREA
Production companies CJ Entertainment and JK Film (formerly Doosaboo Film, Inc.) have released two advance theatrical posters and the teaser trailer for the highly-anticipated Korean disaster film, HAEUNDAE. The movie is about a massive tsunami striking Haeundae, a famous Korean beach area located in Busan. Special effects for HAEUNDAE are being created by the US company Polygon Entertainment.
The first teaser poster, released on May 6, depicts a massive tidal wave towering over two children on the beach. The second teaser poster was released on May 11 and features the tidal wave striking Gwangan Bridge, the longest bridge in Korea and a landmark of Busan. Running away from the wave in the lower middle of the poster are lead actors Sol Kyung-gu (left, playing the role of Choi Man-shik) and Ha Ji-won who (plays Kang Yeon-hee), respectively. The teaser trailer was released on the same day as the second poster.
HAEUNDAE is being billed as the first big-budget, full-scale disaster film from Korea. It was directed by Youn Je-kyoun, who brought such hits as MY BOSS, MY HERO (Doosaboo Ilchae, 2001), SEX IS ZERO (Saek-jeung-si-gong, 2002), MY LOVELY WEEK (Naesaengae Gajang Areumdawun Iljuil, 2005), and MIRACLE ON 1st STREET (1 Beon-ga-eui Gi-jeok, 2006).
The film also stars Park Joong-hoon, Eom Jeong-hwa, Lee Min-ki and Kim In-kwon. According to the posters, HAEUNDAE will open this July in Korea.

TEENAGE DINOSAURS MASS GRAVE MASSACRE!!!
March 15, 2009
Like teenagers at the mall, young dinosaurs may have wandered in herds—fending for themselves while adults were busy nesting, according to a new report on one of the world's best preserved fossil sites.
About 90 million years ago a herd of more than 25 birdlike dinosaurs got stuck in the mud at the edge of a drying lake and perished together in modern-day China, said study co-leader Paul Sereno, a University of Chicago paleontologist.Nearly complete skeletons of the plant-eaters were found at the Gobi desert site—some stacked on top of each other.
The dig site is etched with an ancient tragedy, said Sereno, who is also a National Geographic explorer-in-residence. (The National Geographic Society owns National Geographic News.)
Plunge and scratch marks are preserved in the long-hardened mud, showing the young dinosaurs' futile attempts at escape.
The dinosaurs' flailing likely attracted predators that feasted on the meatiest parts of the young—the hips, Sereno said. Only hip bones are missing from the fossilized bodies.

"Best Documented Case"
"This is the best documented case we have for preservation of an actual dinosaur population," Sereno said.
Though other dinosaur herds have been found fossilized, the newly announced Gobi site is the first to be found with whole dinosaur skeletons.
The remains are all from a single dinosaur species, Sinornithomimus dongi—"Chinese bird mimic"—first discovered by a Chinese-Japanese team in the 1990s.
In the rib cages of some specimens, Sereno's team found "stomach stones"—rocks apparently swallowed on purpose to aid digestion—and the carbonized remains of the last plants the dinosaurs had consumed.
Sereno said via email: "We hope to learn more about the pace of growth and the number of nesting seasons per year from the skeletons."
Birdlike Dinos
The Gobi discovery "fits nicely with the emerging picture that dinosaurs were in many ways more like birds," said Hans-Dieter Sues, a paleontologist at the National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C.
(See related: "New 'Mini' Dinosaur a Step in Bird Evolution Path.")
"About everything we know about dinosaurs shows they're more like their descendants, birds," Sues added.
For instance, the group of young dinosaurs found at the Gobi site was not a coincidence, Sues said—such age groupings are seen in modern-day birds and was likely a behavior that evolved from dinosaurs.
Dinosaurs also demonstrated other complex, birdlike social behavior, such as brooding their eggs.
"There's a great element of serendipity" in the discovery of the Gobi mass grave, he said. "[Much] of what we know about social structures is based on such mass deaths."

RAT ATTACK IN INDIA
Throughout Asia, the bamboo plant is revered as a potent symbol of longevity and good fortune.
But in northeastern India's Mizoram state, there's one bamboo species, Melocanna baccifera, that causes dread. The plant flowers every 48 to 50 years, and its blooming brings tens of millions of hungry rats. After they devour the bamboo fruit, the rats start consuming crops, destroying entire fields—and local livelihoods—in a day or two.
The phenomenon, which occurred in Mizoram from late 2006 to 2008, is known in the local language as mautam or "bamboo death." Here, three adult rats venture out at night to feast on maize.

Surprise Asteroid Buzzed Earth Monday
Sky-watchers in Asia, Australia, and the Pacific islands welcomed a surprise guest Monday: an asteroid that passed just 41,010 miles (66,000 kilometers) above Earth.
Discovered only days ago, asteroid 2009 DD45 zipped between our planet and the moon at 13:44 universal time (8:44 a.m. ET). The asteroid was moving at about 12 miles (20 kilometers) a second when it was closest to Earth.
"We get objects passing fairly close, or closer than this, every few months," Timothy Spahr, director of the International Astronomical Union's Minor Planet Center in Massachusetts, said in an email.
"Also, though, note these are only the ones that are discovered. Many more pass this close undetected"—as asteroid 2009 DD45 nearly did. Thanks to data from Siding Spring, other observatories, and amateurs, the orbit for 2009 DD24 is "very well determined now," he said. Astronomers now know that the asteroid is moving within the inner solar system and that the space rock completes an orbit around the sun every 1.56 years.
This means the asteroid could swing close by Earth again someday—though that doesn't seem to be any cause for alarm, if Monday's flyby is any indication.
"As far as we know," Spahr said, "nothing unusual happened."
Astronomers didn't notice the oncoming asteroid until February 28, when it showed up as a faint dot in pictures taken at the Siding Spring Observatory in Australia.
At that point the asteroid was already a mere 1.5 million miles (2.4 million kilometers) from Earth, and closing in fast.
(Related: "Undetectable Asteroids Could Destroy Cities, Experts Say.")
Asteroids are rocks that generally range from a few feet to several miles in diameter. In our solar system most asteroids orbit the sun in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
Asteroid to Buzz Earth Again?
At just 65 to 164 feet (20 to 50 meters) wide, the asteroid "was much fainter than anything visible to the naked eye" even during close approach, Spahr said.
But on Monday observers using backyard telescopes were able to track the asteroid speeding through the constellation Virgo for at least a few hours after the object's closest approach.
According to Spahr, amateur astronomers contributed to the center's monitoring efforts by sending in measurements, which are helping to refine calculations of the asteroid's orbit.
WRONG NUMBER
Gli Italiani sono notoriamente considerati internazionalmente delle merde. E' vero. Anzi considerando che il Bel Paese fa parte di quella cerchia di paesi considerati dal Terzo Mondo come paesi tecnologicamente e culturalmente avanzati, possiamo affermare senza ombra di dubbio che l'Italia e gli Italiani sono IL popolo di merda per antonomasia. Quando il 95% della popolazione non distingue tra un libro ed un depliant, si raduna davanti a schermi ad osservare 22 persone che eseguono esercizi con la palla facilmente riproducibili da svariati organismi unicelluari e accettano passivamente di essere governati da bolsi e disfatti esseri umani muniti di pannolone, allora possiamo considerare gli Italiani le merde delle merde. Fortunatamente il paese a forma di stivale sta per esaurire la sua spinta e presto diverra' parte di una delle migliaia di nazioni che ne stando minando le fondamenta. Grazie dunque a tutti quei muli che ogni giorno silenti si recano ad orari infami e per salari indegni a lavorare, grazie agli autori televisivi, ai giornalisti, ai preti e alle donne di buona volonta'. Soprattutto grazie a te che vedi in Totti l'uomo del domani, nel GF il tuo futuro e in Zelig tante persone divertenti. Grazie ancora. Ora ti lascio proseguire i tuo cammino di luce tirando lo sciacquone.
