Did you know that this year alone, pirates have seized over 100 ships in only one area— the Gulf of Aden. I had to look that gulf up on Wikipedia, so don´t feel silly if you have to click through here also.

Yep, that´s right, click on the link and you´re looking at Somalia. Reminds me of those little sketchy kids from south park and the episode where Cartman decides to go to Somalia to be a Pirate. Sketchiest boys ever.

The Gulf of Aden is pretty busy. But of course, sketchy pirates must be everywhere because as this article states, another ship went missing back on July 24th, but it disappeared thousands of miles away off the coast of Sweden in the arctic ocean. As the article from the AP questions, “could this be an almost unheard of case of sea banditry in European waters”?

SEA BANDITRY???  The fifteen previously missing Russians have been located, after having been tied and beaten up by masked “police officers,” but my new favorite sketchy phrase:

¡SEA BANDITRY!

This is my first post.  YAY!

I stumbled on this picture from google images that had been submitted in a contest of extremely teeny electron micrographs a couple years back. The contest had been part of a 2005 conference on “Electron, Ion, Proton and Beam Technology of Nanofabrication.”

What you’re looking at is an SEM, a Scanning Electron Micrograph, with an integrated circuit fabrication at 15,000X magnification.  zomg.

I took plenty of science courses a decade or so ago, but this sort is kind of in a league of their own…nevertheless, the contest posted their “grand prize winners”, “honorable mentions” and of course, their “most bizarres”.   Submitted by Takahashi Kaito, is the winner of “MOST BIZARRE,” but I think it also deserves title of “most sketchy”.   Jeje.

Behold, the world’s smallest toilet.   Jeje.
