A 10-ton meteor streaked at supersonic speed over Russia’s Ural Mountains on Friday, setting off blasts that injured hundreds of people possibly upwards to over a thousand. Many locals feared they were being bombed. Watch this first video below. I would think the exact same thing. The explosion shakes the ground. You can hear glass shattering all around the man taking the video. Car alarms go off all around. Then you see the people in the street panicking and running for cover. More…

Random Act of Kindness – Heartwarming Photo of NYPD Officer Buying Boots for Homeless Man. Video. 10
This image below was loaded on to NYPD’s Facebook page recently from a photo taken in early November, and it has now gone viral. I just heard about it on the news this morning, but you may have already hear the story and seen the image. Regardless, it’s worth sharing.
Larry DePrimo, from the NYPD, saw a homeless man sitting on the sidewalk without shoes, nor socks, and apparently had blisters on his feet. DePrimo stopped and talked with the man for a while. In doing so, he found out the stranger wore a size 12, so the officer went into a nearby Sketchers shoe store and bought a pair of $100 boots for a little over $75, after the store gave a discount, as well as thermal socks.
It’s Been a Great Day of Discovery 4
Surfing the internet
I was planning on working on one of my sites today, but never got around to it because I was checking out some awesome programs and apps I found on the internet. It all started out when I was checking the “Clicks” on my stat page. I watch all stats like a hawk and I want, and like, to know what links or images people are clicking on.
You may have already heard and used this online program I found, but it’s new to me and good enough to share. What that gophoto link took me to is an online program that is phenomenal!!! But let me back up just a bit.
Image of Two Men Kissing Made Entirely from Photos of Santorum 19
If you haven’t seen the image created several weeks (months?) ago of Senator Rick Santorum which is a composite of gay pornographic photos, you can click here to go to one of my previous posts to view it. This was created due to Santorum’s homophobic and completely ignorant comment that gay sex will eventually lead to beastiality. That statement also brought about the website SpreadingSantorum.com which defines santorum as:
The ROTFLMAO Award 4
Okay, I admit. This isn’t an actual award but rather an impromptu kudos to some postings which truly had me Rolling On The Floor Laughing My Ass Off. So, to the authors listed below, there is no “passing this on by choosing 108.36 others, as well as including a picture of yourself attempting a scene out of JackAss: The Movie.”
Thank you everyone who has a hand in creating the laughter. Here on some excerpts, so please click the link to check out the rest of the post as well as their site. More…

Once again, Occupy Albuquerque marches on in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street. On Saturday, the group started from the home base of Coyote Camp and marched to downtown Albuquerque.

Occupy Albuquerque The Protest Heard Around the World Oct 15 2011 #ows #globalchange #occupyburque 2
Today was a most phenomenal day! I arrived early at Coyote Camp and shortly before the scheduled noon protest at Wells-Fargo in Nob Hill, we gathered together to march as one to the meeting point. There were approximately 75 of us leaving from Coyote Camp. When the rest of the protest came into view, it was a glorious site… hundreds and hundreds had already gathered! It is difficult to estimate the size of a crowd constantly in motion, but I would estimate there were upwards to 800 people at peak time. All ages, socioeconomic backgrounds, etc. You name it, they were there! A perfect representation of the people today within the 99 percent.
Ash from volcano eruption brings on threat of Chile flood and forces evacuation Reply
A river in southern Chile has overflowed is banks, after it was blocked by volcanic ash and mounting debris. The area around the Nilahu river has been evacuated as a result.
The raised water levels follow the eruption of a volcano in the city of Puyehue on Saturday, which sent a huge ash cloud across nearby towns and all the way to Buenos Aires, the capital of neighbouring Argentina.
The ash has also damaged swathes of crops and killed many fish.
