Go onto Google Earth.
Apparently Pyramids are being found all over the world, which are probably older than Egypt
1. Bosnian Pyramids (buried but shape visible. Type in Bosnian pyramid in google search engine).
2. China. type in 34 22.29N, 108 41.51E. there is a high resolution area with at least 10 pyramids of different sizes and and a couple of pyramids just outside the high res. area. Fascinating.
A workmate is convinced that a mound at Barrow Street south of the A303 has the shape of a pyramid.
Sunlight takes 8 minutes to travel from the sun to the earth. But it is actually produced in the suns core and can take up to 50 million years to escape
type 'ooparts' into google and read some interesting facts.
India was an island until it bumped into Asia.
It is believed that Dinosaurs lived quite happily in Antarctica for several million years until the ocean currents changed and it grew cold enough to snow.
It is estimated under 20% of Americans own a passport.
The Earths magnetic field is declining and at the present rate will be zero in approximately 30 years time. The North and South magnetic poles may then swap places (this has happened many times previously and helped prove the geological theory of plate tectonics).
A guy has proposed that over a period of a few days while the new pole positions are established, there will be a major shift of material within the Earth that will cause the earths axis to wobble by several hunderd miles at the poles.
The effect will be to cause massive eathquakes and tidal waves several miles high that will effectively wipe out civilisation as we know it.

Intel is producing a new FPU chip that will be able to do 1 Teraflop

A 1981 Cray super computer topped out at 100 Megaflops, or was 10,000 times slower, yet cost about 8 Million Dollars (and used liquid cooling).

It has been postulated by a number of scientists that the speed of ligh has slowed and is not the constant that it was thought to be. About 200 years ago it was 30 % faster.
