Hillsdale High School Bomb Scare!

Hillsdale High School

Hillsdale High School

The Hillsdale High School in San Mateo, California is currently being evacuated. The police have secured the school after a pipe bomb was set off after the school day.

The weird thing is even the neighbors are being evacuated, though it seems now that some of them are allowed to return back to their homes.

It looks like a student set off a pipe bomb before the school started today. And that student is already in the custody of the police. For the moment all that the police are trying to do is evacuate the school. Looks like there won’t be any school.

The students have been moved off of school property. The police are completely clearing the school and blocks around the school.

The bomb squad has just arrived at the high school. The bomb squad is on hand to make sure that there are no other bombs on the premises.
There could be one student left inside of the locked down school. A student is reported to have called her mother from within the school. Parents are lining up at Abbot Middle School to pick up their children.

This is currently a developing story, there will be more updates on this story based on what really is happening out there.

This is really weird….

football_fifa_world_cup_trophy_1962_chile_posterRussian soccer fans have been told to drink whisky on their trip to Wales for next month’s World Cup qualifier to ward off the H1N1 swine flu virus, the head of the country’s supporter association (VOB) said on Monday.

“We urge our fans to drink a lot of Welsh whisky as a form of disinfection,” VOB head Alexander Shprygin told Reuters.

“That should cure all symptoms of the disease.”

Russia’s Health Ministry has issued a public warning against travelling to Britain because of the spread of the H1N1 virus but Shprygin said he expected at least several hundred fans would go to Wales for the Sept. 9 qualifier in Cardiff.

“Health officials say this virus is very dangerous but being a fan myself I can tell you that for a real fan nothing is more important than the well-being of the team,” said Shprygin, who also sits on the executive board of the Russian FA.

“Russian fans don’t fear anything or anybody so this virus will not stand in our way of supporting our team.”

The Russian FA also said health issues should not prevent fans from travelling.

“We don’t want our team to be without any support for such an important match so we urge our fans to go to Wales despite the health warning,” a spokesman said.

Germany lead European Group Four with 16 points from six games, one ahead of Russia, with Wales in fourth place on nine points from seven matches.

The title Sounds funny , but the message it  provides  is more than funny. It is found out that the number of  Web Pages available Online  crosses  the total population of the earth. To say, the ratio between the Population and the web pages will be  1 : 150.

This  shows that there are about more than 1 trillion web pages available online. A notable fact is , the world population as recently updated is 6.7 billion. It  indicates,  for every person alive in this Earth , he has about 150 web pages to competitive him.

The  findings of the total web page available online was actually done by Microsoft’s  Bing.com  for their search engine updation. During this crawling process, the data that  Bing.com got from various websites crossed 1 trillion. Few weeks ago, Google announced the  crowding traffic  of web pages available and also claimed the presence of more than 1 trillion pages online which is now proved by Bing.com

“An average person would need six hundred thousand decades of nonstop reading to read through the information,” News.com.au quoted Bing as saying.

Mark Higginson, director of analytics for Nielsen Online, said that the global online population had jumped 16 per cent since last year.

“Approximately 1.46 billion people worldwide now use the internet which represents a solid 16 per cent increase from the previous year’s estimate (1.26 billion in 2007),” he said.

The largest Internet population belongs to China, with 338 million users online, which is more than there were people in the .

However InternetWorldStats.com (IWS), a website that combines multiple data sources, has claimed that China’s online population is more like 298 million.

“With the rates of India and China still quite low, there is ample room for growth in the coming decade,” said Higginson.

According to IWS, the top 5 countries with the most internet users are:

1 – China (298,000,000 users, or 22.4 percent of their population)

2 – (227,190,989, or 74.7 percent)

3 – Japan (94,000,000, or 73.8 percent)

4 – India (81,000,000, or 7.1 percent)

5 – Brazil (67,510,400, or 34.4% percent)

UFO sight in UK: Truth or Trick???

UFO spotted by Google Map

Well, well what do you know, An UFO  spotted again. This time its in UK. There are many confirmed reports in Internet that claims the presence of a UFO. But NASA has strictly sticked to its  words saying there is no such thing. Even before   3 months there was an circulation of a  flying plate  moving across the mountains.NASA  though, was not satisfied with that information and didnt comment more.

It makes me wonder, whether there is really no such thing as UFO  or  NASA simply doesn’t want to create panic revealing the mysteries  of the skies.

And now yet again,a  UFO sighting claim has been made in the UK, with a mystery object now being photographed by a person living at Hertfordshire. It was Chris Middleton, of Welwyn, snapped the mystery object during a a visit to the Jacobean house and garden, the home of the 7th Marquess of Salisbury.

“It made no noise and I didn’t see it until I put the image on my computer. If you sharpen the image and zoom right in you can see it~s no normal aircraft and you can see a red heat source behind it,” the Telegraph quoted him as saying.

“I think it’s impossible for there not to be something like that out there – the universe is so vast. He had the intriguing image examined by professional photographers – and none of them could explain it,” he added.

Richard Wiseman, a professor of Psychology at the University of Hertfordshire, who has an international reputation for research into the paranormal, said: “It’s very difficult to tell what it is because it is tricky to know how far the object is from the camera. I guess that it could be a bird or a paraglider in the distance, or a small piece of dust or debris very close to the lens. Either way, I don’t think Hatfield House should be bracing themselves for a close encounter of the third kind quite yet.”

Man this sounds like crazy and weird. Yes it is a weird stuff. The growing competition in  Internet has crossed a new level. This time targeting GRAVE. What  makes them interest on Grave??!!

With the help of  the Internet service providers and few sites like , a person can now write upon the message , email or greeting for their child, spouse or any 1  and trigger the sites to make the message appear on the screen by the activity of some fire off emails on the particular day which they wish. This offer is valid even after the person is death.

Just add the key dates and message that should appear and with the preplanned programme the message will be delivered on that day itself

Cheez whats funny is that this may cause terrible family suspense. Many people have already decided to adopt this way in Uk, a news site reports.

Which means they are deciding to give their family members a  message of surprise after their death. some consider this as a good method to expose themselves. But i wonder whats the point of understanding when the person itself is death .LOL!!!

This  technology is to admit has really become  a  buzz.

AN angry tourist turned on staff at Edinburgh Castle after they told him that his son could not fire the One o’Clock Gun.

The incident was revealed after Historic Scotland disclosed that 30 of its workers had been physically or verbally attacked by visitors over the last three years. 

Black eyes and broken teeth were among the injuries suffered in other incidents.

One woman, who works at Edinburgh Castle, said: “You’d be surprised how angry people can get when they visit. I’ve seen visitors get hot under the collar from everything from the shop running out of a certain size of T-shirt to a man’s son not being allowed to fire the One o’Clock Gun.”

The documents, released under laws, did not reveal at which Historic Scotland site each incident had taken place.

The incident logs show that in March 2007 one steward was beaten up by a visitor asking them to move a car parked illegally.
