tableau peuplé de personnages
- Essayer de trouver qui ils représentent (certains très facile, d'autres moins)
- Poser la flèche de la souris sur un visage fait apparaître le nom.
- Cliquer sur le visage renvoie à un article de Wikipédia sur le personnage.

Programmes TV - Fiche programme - Les momies de Sicile - Docu-info - Découverte - France 5
RÉSUMÉ
Menant un travail de recherche de longue haleine, deux scientifiques explorent les catacombes et les cryptes des �glises italiennes. En Sicile, ils font une stup�fiante d�couverte. En effet, dans les profondeurs gisent des milliers de momies vieilles de plusieurs centaines d'ann�es et fort bien conserv�es. Certaines ont toujours leurs v�tements d'�poque. Est-il possible de saisir l'histoire personnelle li�e � chaque momie? En cherchant dans les archives, sur les st�les, en pr�levant des �chantillons sur les corps et en les radiographiant, ils parviennent � de passionnantes r�v�lations. Ils s'int�ressent notamment � la momie d'un enfant conserv�e dans un cercueil de verre, comme une poup�e.

Update: Teapot-Blowing Contest — Pictures
Update: Teapot-Blowing Contest — Pictures
September 11, 2009 by Geeks are Sexy | 39 commentsYesterday I asked you, dear readers, to send pictures of yourself blowing into a teapot. I could not have imagined such a great response–the number of submissions was fantastic. And even though I offered $20 to the first three people who sent in their picture (congratulations to Touchcream, TheOrangeSquirrel, and Keaton Pepper), most of you told me the prize didn’t really matter because I gave them a good reason to have fun.
Some of you did it at home, and others, at work. And while some did a splendid and controlled execution of the feat, others let all hell loose and just blew in the thing as hard as they could. This probably had something to do with the type of teapot they were using, though.
Anyway, here are the results of our teapot-blowing contest, for your viewing pleasure.

Polar Bear Attack
These are pictures of an actual polar bear attack.
These pictures were taken while people watched and could do nothing to stop the attack!
Reports from the local newspaper say that the victim will make a full recovery. The photos are below.

"From its extraction through sale, use and disposal, all the stuff in our live..."
"From its extraction through sale, use and disposal, all the stuff in our lives affects communities at home and abroad, yet most of this is hidden from view. The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world. It'll teach you something, it'll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever. Environmental activist, creator and star of the web-based film "The Story of Stuff" talks about how to build real action out of a cultural sensation. It all boils down to exercising our civic engagement muscles.

Björn bet jägare i armen - DN.se
Björnen hann sätta tänderna i jägarens arm och hand innan den stöp i marken träffad av björnjägarens tredje kula. Björnjakten i skogarna utanför Storbränna i norra Jämtland blev riktigt dramatisk för björnjägaren Omar Jonsson.

HOW TO: Find the Name of That Song
Ever had that tune you just couldn’t get out of your head, but you couldn’t remember the darn title or who the heck performed the track? Well there’s an app for that.
Actually, there are several. In this feature we’ll look at several services that can help you name that tune. We’re still waiting on the app that can actually banish that annoyingly catchy song from your mind, but until then at least you can be armed with knowledge.

Engadget cruises with the Brammo Enertia electric motorcycle (with video!)

The ride
It's a bit of a shame that the range is so limited, as the bike is a far more welcoming chariot than the Zero S. That great looking seat isn't particularly wide, but it is plush and comfy, and the large pegs are in a forward position that leaves you upright and your knees extended. We were a little worried about them getting caught on a cobblestone when we were doing a little carving on the rough alley streets, but their comfort makes up for any lack of cornering clearance. It's a little bit cruiser compared to the competition's little bit moto.
Sadly our test ride was again in the throes of NYC traffic, but we found a few back streets and alleys and even corners to explore, and were happy with what we experienced. The suspension soaked up the roughest of bumps without launching us out of the seat, as mentioned above the brakes kept us safe, and a quick ! twist of the throttle left every other bike in our wake -- so long as it was pedal-powered, of course.
The lack of power and torque makes the bike a much smoother experience than the slight jerkyness we experienced on the Zero. Here you're gently whisked away from a stop with no hesitation or lurching, and keeping up with traffic is no problem at all. Throttle response is good at any speed -- any speed under 50.
Wrap-up
So, the natural question is: how does it compare to the Zero S? The answer depends on your priorities. At $11,995 to start ($14,995 if you want the limited edition, carbon fiber-clad model), there's a heftier premium to pay, and with half the power, a lower top speed, and a shorter range, the Enertia is not much of a value proposition.
But, if you're just looking at the numbers, neither of these two come out on top when compared to something like a Kawasaki Ninja 250R, which can be had for about a third the price, easily best 60mpg, and run circles around the pair of them on a track. If you're buying an electric motorcycle you're looking for something different, something special, and the Enertia certainly feels special. From that almost tacky but still cool power button on the tank, down over the minima! list fairing, and back to the chopped seat, it all fits together and fits well.
Despite the lack of oomph we like the bike a lot, and while we can't say we relish the idea of letting a Geek Squad member diagnose potentially life-threatening technical issues, with any luck more reassuring service opportunities will present themselves in the near future. Bikes should finally start showing up at select Best Buy stores on the West Coast in early July, while those who've already pre-ordered will be receiving shipments about the same time. So, you'd better get that deposit deposited if you want one before the riding season is over -- assuming of course you live somewhere that has a riding season.
Update: We heard from Craig Bramscher at Brammo who indicated that the carbon-clad limited edition is actually no longer available. So, that'! s one less choice to make.
Many thanks to Chad Mumm from Switched for the great footage and stills.

POLICE WARNING
Police Warning
Watch Out For This Scam
Police say that the gang usually is composed of four members, one adult and three younger ones.
While the three younger ones, all appearing sweet and innocent, divert their 'mark' (or intended target) with a show of friendliness , the fourth - the eldest - sneaks in from behind the person's back to expertly rifle through his or her pockets and purses or bags for any valuables being carried.

Once Again: 1981 Video Predicts The Death Of Print Newspapers
via techcrunch.com
There’s a lot of talk today about how the new big screen Kindle could help save the bleeding newspaper industry. As we laid out last night, that is complete BS. But I think it’s worth revisiting a video we posted a few months back about the topic. It’s from 1981 (incidentally, the year I was born), showing that newspapers seemed to have some idea about what the future of their industry would be.
It’s a common misconception that newspapers are simply late to the Internet game. As this video shows, some of them (including some of the major ones now failing) have been thinking about this stuff for 28 years. That is a long, long time. Towards the end of the video, the local news reporter says, “the day will come when we get all our newspapers and magazines by home computer, but that’s a few years off.” And this was at a time when hilariously, it took 2 hours to receive an entire newspaper over the modems of the day, and it cost $5 an hour to transfer that data — at the time newspapers were $0.20. Despite all of that, the local reporters were smart enough to see that the writing was still on the wall.

Lio sur MySpace Music - Ecoute gratuite de MP3, Photos et clips vidéos
via fr.myspace.com
"Si on regarde et on écoute attentivement Lio, il est fort peu probable qu’on la prenne pour une banane ou une prune. Lio est une artiste érudite dont l’univers à la fois ludique et grave est composé de petites planètes gémellaires et différentes, de sourires en trompe-l’oeil, de coeurs très rouges et de larmes bleutées perlant d’un ciel apparemment radieux. Ailleurs quand on la croit ici, partout quand on la pense nulle part, elle tente, avec courage et détermination, de toujours aller là où son profond goût de l’art l’attire.
Ecouter Lio, c’est comme entrer dans sa maison. On peut y voir l’âme brisée de Billie Holiday, Gainsbourg pas encore Gainsbarré, les silhouettes de Daho ou de Doisneau, deux grands Jacques : un Duvall insolite et élégant, un Prévert humaniste et irrévérencieux. Ou encore des tableaux de Pop Art, des nuisettes de Baby Doll, Corto Maltese et Barbarella regardant un ciel rendu moins sale par une manifestation d’étoiles.
Mais à travers ces visages et ces paysages, il n’y a qu’elle. Sale comme un ange, pure comme l’enfer. Car derrière ses plumes d’oiseau-lyre, ses sourires carnassiers, ses larmes de cendre qui ne lui font que mieux aimer l’école du bonheur, ses notes et son cinéma, Lio est une Petite Amazone qui vit d’art et d’amour. Qui ne veut être une peste qu’au sens d’une épidémie qu'on ne pourrait arrêter et qui terrasserait les rois despotes, tueurs d’âmes et de rêves.
Lio est une fille de la Mancha qui sait que ses rêves et sa musique ne mourront pas sous le tranchant des ailes des moulins à vent. Un monde à la fois doux, fragile et éclatant, c’est beau, ça s’écrit en trois lettres, en un mot : Lio."
