JonBenet Ramsey, young girl murdered in her home in Colorado
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JonBenét_Ramsey

Always had an interest in that case
Loads of documentaries on youtube and around the internet if you're interested

The parents got a lot of hostility for "lawyering up" but realy, that's what many educated and well off people.
I'm not saying I'm either of those but I was ever arrested for anything I would say nothing without a solicitor present.
But some think they needed lawyers as they had something to hide which is not fair

There are worrying areas in their family life but nothing terrible and certainly nothing to say they deserved to be hounded by the media.
But then the case attracted huge attention with many saying it's a pretty white girl from a good family. The same way the McCann case got huge attention but people wondered if she was a black girl from a council estate would the media even care

The case drew out the crackpots. About six years ago a man confessed to it and was flown in from abroad to meet the police. It was clear to all that he was an attention seeker and not the full shilling but he still had to be questioned. And he was then released.

Never been solved anyway, I do believe an intruder did it but unless someone confesses on their deathbed it'll be never be closed

This case is really interesting because whoever did it left a ransom note using paper from inside the house.
I wonder why a sicko who planned on murdering a small child in her own home would even bother to pretend hes kidnapping her..
But to be clear, I don't think the parents did it.

Why is it the media always turns on the families of victims who don't display what they deem to be the "correct" amount of grief. It happened with the McCanns too.

Because it's more often the family who kill a child.

No females disappeared while Larry was inside. He worked in all the areas that the girls went missing from but as yet there is no evidence other than circumstantial evidence to link him to any of them. He refused to answer any questions when interviewed about them apparently.

The murder of Raonaid Murray
Rainaid was an Irish murder victim, stabbed to death at the age of 17 in the early hours of Saturday morning, 4 September 1999. As of September 2009, ten years after the murder, this case remains unsolved. The murder weapon has not been located either. How could this kid be murdered so close to home and no one be ever found guilty?

I remember this very well. My grandparents lived near where she was murdered. It has always intrigued me and I wonder if anyone will ever be caught.

Yeah it seems a few of them are really just "Kind of interesting", rather than unexplained, some good articles though.

Acetic Acid (liquid at room temperature, unless it's a cold room , super concentrated vinegar)

some would not, but google polywater or pkyecrete

they don't do work because they aren't moving

bismuth is as dense as lead +/-
it is repealled by magnets, a thin slice of it will float over permanent magnets

I could explain it to you but your head would explode :pac:

Some interesting facts but the fact about dark energy is that nobody knows what that is, nor do they know what dark matter is! Thems some pretty big mysteries right there.

I heard about that before, also the meso Americans also seem to have extraordinary knowledge of the stars and the Earth's movement even it wobble. I think they had lenses of some description, but the Spanish probably just smashed them to get the gold and turn it into ingots. Who knows, the earlier plunderers weren't that much into documentation.

We actually don't know how big space is and there are parts of space that we can never see as they are too far away from us for light to reach us and space is expanding all the time. It is possible that the universe is infinitely big also.

I remember reading in Armstrongs book ,think it was his autobiography were he And Aldrin spotted an object with what looked like a blinking lights moving acoss space .Some NASA people said it might just have been some floating debri from previous space mission but Armstrong , who was not one for exaggeration, wasn't fully convinced .

The Laetoli Footprints

http://www.decarteret.net/Tanz%20and%20Zanz/Tanzania%20and%20Zanzibar%20Nettest_files/image013.jpg

Footprints preserved in volcanic ash in Tanzania dated from 3.6 million years. The mechanics of the footprints show that this ape/hominid was very bipedal, as balanced as us. No-one is sure what creature made them. Some suggest its proof that the dating of the ascent of man is all wrong.

Mystery 2

What happened to humanity after the Toba super volcano eruption 55,000 years ago. Genetic studies puts the remaining human population back then at around 3000, then from them. all us came.

But for the first time in the fossil record art appears, Man's toolkit becomes more intricate and specialised and gets more additions, things like needles, harpoons, intricate arrow and spear heads. Then where ever they went, big mammal and reptile extinctions followed. They were us. Its as if we suddenly sprouted a frontal lobe.

Nah that would suggest intelligent design, we are very stupidly designed. Our thin skulls, our vulnerable necks, our poorly designed joints and spine which always give us trouble. Our very vulnerable infant state and very long gestation period and off course our bipedalism and large cortex's which can kill women just by giving birth to us.

The eye ball, even Darwin could'nt explain it. It must have been there from the start. Given that most Darwinians agree on the theory of evolution and the survival of the fittest he could never fully explain how the eyeball developed. Its development would according to his own theories have taken millions of years, but an underdeveloped eye with poor vision would have used massive resourses and been useless and the creatures would obviously have been surviving perfectly well without sight. So it was either there from the beginning or ?

Not true, there is a history of the eyeball right through nature, you can "see" how it evolved. Its interesting that sea creatures also evolved similar eye. An octopuses eye is very similar to ours, yet they are so far removed.

Im pretty sure the dating of the ascent of man is wrong but I would class those tracks as Australopithecus gracile. I would also say that I find asia a more likely origin for the genus Homo.
