Martian soil could support life, or at least Asparagus

Scientists analyzing soil sample tests sent back by the Phoenix Mars Lander has found that the Martian soil to be much more alkaline than previously expected, “flabergasting” scientists. This means that Martian soil, containing traces of magnesium, sodium, potassium and other elements, could support life in it’s past, present and future forms (similar to the soil in your backyard).

The location of the Phoenix touch down is believed to hold large amounts of water-ice below the surface, however scientists haven’t been able to detect organic carbon, which is an essential ingredient for life.

You can also follow the Mars Phoenix on Twitter for up to the minute news as it happens, or at least a few minutes delay as the signal reaches Earth.

Explore the abandoned landmarks of a forgotten Detroit

Call it karma for being home to one of the most disturbing corporate conspiracies of the 20th century, but it seems Detroit is getting hit hard by a wave of economic depression. Sadly, scores of residents have left since the 1960s, residential and commercial real estate prices are soon to be counted in pennies and the over-filled prison system is taxing an already over-burdened local government.

Though major campaigns are underway to improve Detroit’s image and local economy with waterfront condos (that few can afford) and tourism-related projects, much of Detroit’s beautiful art deco architecture is left vacant and begging for people to poke around inside. Which is exactly what our urban exploring Detroitians are doing daily over at Forgotten Detroit, an amazing collection of photographs, videos and information on some of Detroit’s absolutely stunning pre-depression architecture. Absolute treasures are sitting vacant, waiting to be torn down as “progress” sweeps the city, meaning they would be replaced with the city’s 100th Best Buy or Wal-Mart.

Seeing such beautiful landmarks as the United Artists Theater of Detroit above, sitting vacant, vandalized and abused is almost painful. But the beauty of seeing this once shining, mighty example of better times and certainly better architecture, sitting abandoned is awe-inspiring. If only all modern cities could still carry such class in their architecture, life would be a dream.

Oprah goes vegan, for the next 21 days

Yep, the Queen of television has gone vegan. Though she’s describing it as a “cleanse” rather than an actual vegan diet, Oprah is giving up animal products, sugar and other unhealthy food ingredients in order to cleanse her body of evil spirits, also known as calories. She’s even blogging about it over at Oprah.com! Good for her and I can only imagine the amount of housewives currently buying Gimme Lean at their local Wal-Mart thanks to Oprah! (Via Vegan Foodism)

Dogs, performing The Broadway Melody, in 1930

Awesome. I couldn’t possibly explain this any better. I mean, not awesome for the poor dogs tied into costumes and forced to act as humans of course, but awesome nonetheless. Whoever thought of this bizarre mess should have won an Oscar. Named The Dogway Melody, this was a dog-only spoof or parody, or something, of the first all-musical film, The Broadway Melody, released in 1929 and is also available as an extra on the Broadway Melody special edition DVD. Dogway Melody picks up with Mr. Cur, a Broadway producer, who puts on a show and makes a play for the leading lady. Played by various, dogs. So, uh, enjoy?

Regret something you’ve done? Get over it

Of course you regret something, we all do. One of the hardest things in life is trying to get over that deep, dark feeling of regret many of us carry inside. Thanks to some thoughtful artists, developers and social thinkers, it’s even easier now to admit your sins and possibly find a little closure, anonymously.

With Get Over It, you can simply enter your deepest regrets anonymously, sharing them with a mostly sympathetic public, allowing you to reach at least a small amount of closure. Limited to 1000 characters or less, of course.
