Monday7: Stocks, Dark Matter and Godzilla


I'll get the less exciting things out of the way. The stock market has apparently, been dropping and/or going wild. Some analysts are comparing graphs of today's situation with other "bubbles" that burst in the financial world. Admittedly it all goes over my head and admittedly I don't care.

Scientists have recently discovered an anomaly at the center of the galaxy that appears to be the first sighting or physical evidence of the theorized dark matter. The center of the galaxy is an extremely happening place. Scientist found a burst of gamma radiation coming from the center after "subtracting" or normalizing regular gamma radiation that can be accounted for by stars, etc. It's not definite as there are possibilities that it could be something else. Either way, it's exciting news.

There's a new Godzilla trailer that came out today. It's over two minutes long and gives us a better glimpse into our characters and the "birth" or "discovery" of Godzilla. I saw lots of radiation signs so that could be fun. The movie will be epic and from the looks of it, humanity does not stand a chance against the lizard from Japan.

A billionaire is selling his mansion somewhere in Utah (it looks like Park City) there are some pretty crazy photos of everything this mansion has to offer including; couch in the bathroom, kitchen and living room that are part of the master suite, 5 bedrooms, full theater room that comes stocked with popcorn and goodies. In short, awesome, it's selling for something around 14 million. Don't forget about me if you buy it.

Today is world health day. Every year the WHO has a theme for world health day. This year's focus is on a particular kind of virus (name escapes me). Basically, mosquitoes are bad, look out and get rid of standing water.

There is a powerful car ad that you will probably see circle around. The message, in short, is don't text and drive. The consequences are deadly.

I caught up on a video posted by the Vlog brothers on YouTube. He got together with some animators (from another fantastic channel whose name is in German so I can't tell you what it is) and put together a video criticing our current prison system. The united states houses 25% of the world's prisoners. We hold more prisoners per person that South Korea and Russia! Yikes! It's serious problem, I recommend looking up the video if you're interested.

We've got another week ahead of us, keep your mind sharp and your brain active.
