Lost

series 3 is in full swing… for fans, it might be great to know that they have commissioned up to SEVEN series! i personally, as much as i love watching Lost, am slightly annoyed!!

the whole dvd box set thing is cool though, especially for people who don’t own a tv (like me).

tv box sets worth getting (no particular order):

24
prison break
lost
wonderfalls
battlestar galatica
firefly
mind your language
regenesis

please add in your own recommendations..

This mule just gave birth. So what’s neat about that, you think. Here’s why it’s amazing (hint: it’s a mule!)

A mule is the hybrid of a horse and a donkey and should be sterile - except in this instance.

There have only been two substantiated cases of a mule giving birth in the past quarter century: one in China in 1988 and the other also in Morocco in 1984.

From USC’s Regional History Collection, here are some early photos of the grand opening of Disneyland (and yes, that’s Uncle Walt at the controls of the Viewliner, the train that ran between Fantasyland and Tomorrowland)

More than 1,000 people are feared dead after Typhoon Durian hit the Philippines:

Official figures showed 450 dead, 507 injured and 599 missing, but Sen. Richard Gordon, head of the local Red Cross, said he believed more than 1,000 died in the thousands of homes that were buried under 1 1/2 meters (5 feet) of volcanic debris, mud and flood waters.

“At this time, no more. I’m sorry,” Juan Garcia, mayor of devastated Guinobatan town, said when asked about prospects of survivors being found. “It’s almost impossible. They have been buried under sand and boulders. I don’t think they can survive. It’s impossible for anyone to survive.”
