Debussy

French impressionist composer who produced ill-sounding, structure-lacking, melody-absent underdeveloped pieces of insufficient crap.
The impressionist movement single-handedly destroyed classical music.

Book of Mormon

The last gospel of the Bible, translated by Joseph Smith and published in 1830.

Is Mormonism of Christianity?

Galatians 1:8 (NIV)

baba yaga

Russian/Ukranian folklore witch.

Lives in a hut in the middle of the forest. The hut has a distinct personality, and is built on chicken legs, so it can move around, spinning and screeching. It may turn its back on visitors, or even run and jump on them. However, when the secret password is stated, the hut calms itself and squats to allow the visitor to enter.

Baba Yaga is also unique in that she flys around the forest in a giant mortar, steering herself with a large pestle.

Baba Yaga makes appearances as the villain in the once popular "Quest for Glory" games by Sierra.
Is that a UFO?

No, It's Baba Yaga in her mortar.

Xbox 360

Microsoft's next generation console; rivals the Sony Playstation 3 and Nintendo Revolution.

New features include:

- Improved performance and graphics

- Upgraded Xbox Live (Free silver account for activities like text & voice messaging, video chat / Subscription Gold account for online game multiplayer)

- Detachable hardrive

- Every single game in high definition with at least Xbox Live Aware

- Wireless controller featuring a power/Xbox Live button

- Interchangeable face plates

- Compatibility with MP3 players (such as iPod)

- Backwards compatibility with most Xbox games (v.i.a emulation)

When released, the Xbox 360 will employ the most powerful graphics chip ever created. ATi (Xbox 360's GPU supplier) boasts that the Xbox 360's unified shader architecture allows the console to run at 100% efficiency, while previous consoles ran anywhere at 50% to 70% efficiency. While the PS3 employs more brute strength, the Xbox 360's streamlined processing will allow for overall better performance than the PS3.

With the fact that Xbox 360 is such a multifunctional media hub, Microsoft hopes that the Xbox 360 will appeal even to consumers who are not gamers.



Xbox 360 is unique from PS3 and Nintendo Revolution in that it is really focusing on Xbox Live, and taking online play to the next level.
Xbox 360 is the first of what will become the next generation of consoles.

CERN

CERN is the "Organisation européenne pour la recherche nucléaire", or "European Organization for Nuclear Research".

CERN, located on the France-Swiss border, near Geneva, It is the world's largest research centre for particle physics.

CERN's efforts are now primarily focused on the construction and completion of the Large Hadron Collider, or LHC. The 27 kilometre particle accelerator/collider will become the world's most powerful.

Using the LHC (to be completed in 2007) CERN hopes to set and study conditions very close to those shortly after the Big Bang. They hope to answer questions such as: "What is Mass? Are there extra dimensions? Are there violations between the symmetry of matter and antimatter?"

Numerous CERN physicist have been awarded Nobel Prizes, and CERN is reconized as the creator of the World Wide Web.

20 countries currently contribute to CERN's efforts.
The answers to the universe's biggest questions lie in the universe's tiniest particles.
