Significant terror arrests in Canada.  And wow!  They had 3 tons of ammonium nitrate.  Only one ton was used for the Oklahoma City bombing, and look at the damage that did.  Now imagine what 3 tons could do.  These folks were going to do some real damage.

Dude, it’s the Fortress of Solitude!  Just look at these photos.  Fantastic!  The largest crystals on Earth — and they’re entirely natural.  It’s rather uninviting “as the temperature in the cave is over 150 degrees Fahrenheit with 100% humidity.”  They need to leave it that way.  Let them grow and develop naturally, and it’ll also keep people from spending too much time in there (notice that damage has already been done in nearby caves, so this needs especially critical protection from humans).  [via Matt]

I already mentioned a photo of Alaska’s newly erupted Cleveland Volcano.  But check out this photo (click on it for a larger version).  In a word: astounding!

It’s noctilucent cloud season again.  You can get viewing tips and see a gallery of photos over at SpaceWeather.com.

And Christians wonder why they think they’re at war with everyone else…  There really is a new video game where the point is “to convert or kill Catholics, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, gays, and anyone who advocates the separation of church and state – especially moderate, mainstream Christians. Your mission is ‘to conduct physical and spiritual warfare’; all who resist must be taken out with extreme prejudice.”  The end goal?  “[T]o remake America as a Christian theocracy, and establish its worldly vision of the dominion of Christ over all aspects of life.”  I’m going to be ill.

“The biggest armored dinosaur to be discovered so far was recently found in southern Utah, in a rugged badland just south of Green River.”  Cool.
