(CBS/AP) ― Another Small Earthquake Rattles Central N.J. (2/15/2009) Related LinksEarthquake Hazards Program For the third time in three weeks, a small earthquake has rattled an area of north-central New Jersey. No damage or injuries were reported from the 2.3 magnitude quake, which was recorded shortly before 1:42 a.m. Wednesday. Scott DiGiralomo, a coordinator with the county's office of emergency management, says the epicenter was just over a mile outside Dover. It was felt mostly by people in Denville and Randolph. The quake is the third to hit Morris County since Feb. 2. A 3.0 magnitude earthquake rattled windows and alarmed residents on Feb. 2. That quake was centered in Rockaway, Dover and Morris Plains. A 2.2 magnitude quake on Valentine's Day shook residents in Boonton and neighboring Montville. *DALLAS (AP) -- Two University of North Texas astronomers think they've found two pieces of a meteor that alarmed numerous residents when it streaked across the Texas sky on Sunday. "It's black like charcoal.

sunday Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 In the Lovecraftian theme: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article2255989.ece Is this Atlantis? THIS is the amazing image which could show the fabled sunken city of Atlantis. It shows a perfect rectangle the size of Wales lying on the bed of the Atlantic Ocean nearly 3½ miles down. A host of criss-crossing lines, looking like a map of a vast metropolis, are enclosed by the boundary. They seem too vast and organised to be caused naturally. And last night the possibility of an extraordinary discovery had oceanographers and geophysicists captivated. The site lies 620 miles off the west coast of Africa near the Canary Islands — a location for Atlantis seemingly suggested by the ancient philosopher Plato. He believed it was an island civilisation sunk by an earthquake and floods around 9,700BC — nearly 12,000 years ago. The “grid” showed up on Google Ocean, a Google Earth extension that uses a combination of satellite images and marine surveys. Last night Dr Charles Orser, curator of historical archaeology at New York State University — and one of the world’s leading authorities on Atlantis — called it “fascinating”. He said: “The site is one of the most prominent places for the proposed location of Atlantis, as described by Plato. Even if it turns out to be geographical, this definitely deserves a closer look.” The legend of Atlantis has captured the imagination of scholars for centuries. And in the 1970s it spawned a hit TV series, Man From Atlantis, in which Patrick Duffy played a webbed hero who could live underwater. Sea here ... location of grid on Google Sea here ... location of grid on Google Situated in an area called the Madeira Abyssal Plane, the grid was spotted by aeronautical engineer Bernie Bamford as he browsed through Google Ocean. Sunken ... artist's impression of lost metropolis Sunken ... artist's impression of lost metropolis Bernie, 38, of Chester, said: “It looks like an aerial map of Milton Keynes. It must be man-made.” Wasn't Thresher lost around there?

Corinthian Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Nope. Probably different creature altogether. IIRC, Nessie's in California, enjoying some crumping I think.

If they do a live action remake of Watership Down I reckon that fella is a perfect cast for the role of "The General." BillB

If they do a live action remake of Watership Down I reckon that fella is a perfect cast for the role of "The General." BillB Or possibly a cast member for a movie based onRussell Braddon's "Year of the Angry Rabbit" (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Year_of_the_Angry_Rabbit) that I last read in 1969. The most notable line being about a new disease designed to rid Australia of its rabbits, as Myxamatosis was no longer working. The new rabbit killer disease being called 'super-mix', being a play on a 1960s advertising campaign by British Petroleum - ie BP Super-Mix... Anyway, the boffins had created this new virus and were talking about testing it with the words, or words to the effect of: Boffin one: "WE have to make sure it is safe, we have to test it on primates." Boffin two: "What, test it on bishops?".

sunday Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Cool picture and all, and pardon my dearth of technical knowledge, but how exactly are they seeing through 3 1/2 mile-deep ocean water? Radar altimetry - sea surface tend to follow the features of the bottom, due to local gravity variations caused by the accumulation of mass in the submarine mountains. Or, at least that is what I remember.
