Mysterious Fist-Wedge Factory Olorgesailie
Olorgesaille is the name of an inhospitable area near the Kenyan Ngong Mountains. In 1919, the geologist J.W Gregory made a curious discovery on the approximately four-hectare site: the ground there was littered with thousands and thousands of stone tools made by the early ancestors of Homo Sapiens, Homo Erectus. How did they get there, and why were there so many?

If I was going to save the world ?
If I was going to save the world... First, I would have to convince you it needed to be saved. Currently, according to statistics, less than 21% of the people on planet earth are even aware the earth is in dire straights of needing a savior. Or so the news would have us believe... My statistics teacher in college taught me that 77% of all statistics were made up. Kind of wild if you really contemplate it.

Will water stress lead to the next big war?
Cape Town 2017-18. The scary episode of Water stress. Reservoirs and dams in the South African western cape were hovering between 15-30% of their capacity. There was a widespread fear of an imminent water-stress induced doomsday, designated as ‘day zero’ when all municipal supply would cease, and people would have to queue up in order to receive their water ration. The administration implemented severe restrictions and penalties and eventually the water level in the dams rose to 70% capacity. The country heaved a sigh of collective relief. But not forever.

A Unique Home
Resting at the top of a mountain with a crystal blue lake nestled at the foot would be my dream home in the perfect location. To access the house, there would be a 30' driveway that would lead to a garage door. The garage would be inside of the mountain, so that vehicles going by would never know that someone was lived in the area.

Solving Climate Change
David Whitaker plugged in his new Samsung Galaxy S9 into his phone charger, thinking it may be the last chance he got to charge his phone for a few days. Ever since the Australian Government introduced its latest Green Scheme back home, its cuts to greenhouse emissions were being felt in all Australian owned territories, including Mawson Research Station at the South Pole. I mean here they were in the South Pole, one of the coldest places on the planet, and the Australian Government wanted to make sure they weren’t contributing to the global warming phenomenon sweeping the globe.

What Happens When The Earth's Magnetic Field reverses It's Polarity?
From time to time, one reads about new signs that we are currently in the middle of a reversal period of the magnetic poles of our earth. Every new message about it immediately calls the catastrophe theorists and end-time prophets on the scene. Scientists, who deny the topic any explosiveness, are speaking out against these. So where's the truth now? Do we have to worry, or may we sit back and relax?
