When you think of "007" you probably think of "Bond, James Bond" the British Spy that works for MI6, well that's what i think of anyway, but that's isn't always the case. John Dee was the first 007 agent. He was an alchemist, magician, but also a spy, where the connection was made. I think James Bond came out of it becuase, Dee would use his "magic" as Bond would use his gadgets.

Here is a length article about the connection between the two and some background information.

The human brain is an amazing thing, it has the ability to hold every peice of information that it will ever recieve. It can be anything that at one point you read or saw or heard, maybe even smell. This happens to everyone, but intellegence is something that is interesting. Since everyone can remember the same things if they have the ability, then why are some people smarter then others? It's becuase some people actually can control how to access this information. Like in the movie Limitless, which Bradley Cooper, he takes a pill that allows him to recall everything! One of the better scenes to display this is when he is talking to his landlord's girlfriend and he sees a book and recalls the last time he saw it and was able to peice together that she is a struggling law student. Now this can happen to anyone, everyone has the abilitty to access this information, but now the brain also blocks information, this way there isn't an overload of information, like when you are talking to someone in the caferteria, you don't hear everyone talk, you focus on one thing and register that with more effort, despite all the other sounds being taken in. It's really wild! http://voices.yahoo.com/how-much-information-does-brain-hold-2839851.html

Now this is insane! The internet that we use every day actually has weight to it.

Some scientist actually did the math and was able to figure out that all the "internet" together actually had mass, he said that it weighed a total of two ounces, and one email weighs about Two Ten Thousanths Of A Quadrillionth Of An Ounce'

So apperently, I am just really outdated but there is a website called www.hulu.com and it's cool, I think it's kind of like a Netflix type deal, where you can get movies and televesion shows online which i find really cool. I was told it's been around for a while, but that's news to me.

Now this website is cool. It's called ThisIsWhyImBroke. It is pretty much my Christmas list. It has everything from a "Dolphin Power Boat" to children's books, (that may or may not be actual children's book, one's called Go The F**k to Sleep and the other is called All my Friends are Dead)  so I found this really cool. I am yet to actually get anything from it, but I want to, they seem to be afford able.

We really take advatange of Google. Yet I bet most of us don't even know where it comes from.

This video talks about the number googol. Which is a very large number, it is the number one with one hundred zeroes after it. The video talks about that number and tries to make sense of how big it is then talks about a similar topic of a googolplex, which is an amazing and indescribable number.

This website is about a group of researchers that dug up around the famous Easter Island Heads and it turns out that they have bodies. This is extremely interesting because this island shows no possible way to transport this gigantic stone bodies. It makes you wonder about why was all out advances technologies happened, when ancient civilization don't need it, and they can accomplish great and mysterious things.

This is an article about how blue eyes came to be. It's saying that all blue eyed people share one common ancestor. Orignally everyone had brown eyes but it becuase of one mutantion it changed the world, not by anything big, but just adding varity in eye color.

this site is an interactive site that tracks human evolution, I love evolution so i found this to be very cool. It shows how far humans have come since we first showed up on the planet.

Michael Collins, seems to be just another name, and he isn't very well known, but be is very important in the Lunar Landing of 1969. He was the third person on the misson. While his two co-pilots went onto the surface of the moon, he stayed on the ship. This man is the loneliest man ever to exsist. He orbitted the moon by himself. Each orbit was two hours long and for 48 of those minutes, he was completly cut off from the world, he could not see it and he had no communication with it. He was the farthest a human can go from another person.

This article I found very cool. It's about a four year old girl who was given an IQ test and got a score of 159, that is one point below Stephen Hawking and Albert Einstein, two of the greatest minds that the world has ever known. Don't really bother watching the video, all it does is sum up the article, with some quirky guy talking about her, I found it a little annoying, but maybe that is just me.

Welcome to my blog. This blog is about little stuff that isn't really common knowledge but it's interesting. Or at least I find it interesting anyway. I think it's pretty cool. It's hopefully going to be full of things that you can live life without knowing but it's also good to know a little more.
