Edison's Conquest of Mars! Garrett P. Serviss'
unofficial, 1898
sequel to
War of the Worlds, featuring Thomas Edison and Lord Kelvin as the heroes. It seems this book originated the space battle and the ray-gun, not to mention the
aliens-built-the-pyramids plot. Sounds like a
blast.

Newsfilter: Several
pharmaceutical companies are developing vaccines against strains of the
human papilloma virus that cause cervical cancer.
Some folks think these shots should be required for all kids entering puberty.
Others are afraid that teens given the vaccination would view it as a free pass for premarital sex.

"The year is 2010 and the European Union has rejected Turkey. Fascist governments have come to power in Germany, Austria and France and are inciting violence against resident Turks and Muslims. A vengeful Turkey joins forces with Russia and declares war against the EU. Turkish commandos besiege Berlin, obliterate Europe and take control of the Continent.
"Some critics will be quick to dismiss 'The Third World War,' a new futuristic novel by a 30-year-old Turkish writer,
Burak Turna, as the wild imaginings of a conspiracy theorist and literary shock jock - and in many ways it is."
Turna is also the author of
Metal Storm, which revolves around a US invasion of Turkey. Both books have been runaway best-sellers.

Bone Wars is an educational game that "
simulates the process of creating a scientific hypothesis and testing it against new data" (A good thing to teach kids with people like
these guys running around). The game is based on the legendary
Cope/Marsh feud: a conflict that caused one Dinosaur to be
classified twice and could make for a really cool movie someday.

"A 2,600-year-old corpse has been discovered in the moors of northern Germany.
It's not the only one. Such finds are frequent, but have posed an increasingly large riddle: Why were so many of the bodies victims of violence and dismemberment?"

"A shocking discovery has been made deep within the text of
Moby Dick. The great codes researcher
Michael Drosnin, who pioneered the art of predicting assassinations using
Equidistant Letter Sequences, is himself encoded in a famous book. And directly across his name appears the text 'Him to have been killed'! Yes, folks, using the method that Drosnin himself uses, and the text that he himself chose as a challenge to his
critics, we find that Drosnin himself will be murdered in a grotesque manner."
