Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot footage

Today is the 40th anniversary of the famous Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot footage, taken at Bluff Creek, California. Bigfoot is one of the more famous examples of cryptozoology, a subject that the scientific community dismiss as pseudoscience because of unreliable eyewitness accounts, lack of scientific and physical evidence, and over-reliance on confirmation rather than refutation. Scientific experts on the matter consider the Bigfoot legend to be a combination of folklore and hoaxes.

Halloween is around the corner, this could be the creepiest mask ever, if you happen to come across kids wearing the Jacko Mask, please give him double the candy you would normally give it to a single kid, I bet the mask cost a bomb. Only one person don’t need such a mask - Jacko himself. Creepy! I’ll settle for V for Vendetta mask instead. Found Via BoingBoing

Well, the image above is just a joke but it does make a little sense, does it? To all of GeckoFly’s readers, conserve and recycle, reduce our consumption on plastics and un-sustainable materials.

NASA and the Zero-Gravity Pen

Here is an interesting story, found at Teaching Sells.

Back when NASA started launching manned spacecraft in the 1960s, they found out that the astronauts couldn’t use pens to write with while in space. The ink wouldn’t flow down through the pen in a zero-gravity environment. NASA decided to retain a man named Paul Fisher to design a pen that would work in space.

A mere $1.5 million later, they had a solution. NASA now had a pen that worked in zero gravity, in a vacuum, and in a drastic temperature range.

The Russian cosmonauts had the same problem, of course.

So they used a pencil.

Now, this anecdote isn’t historically accurate, and has become a bit of an urban legend. The truth is both the US and Russia used pencils at first, and Paul Fisher independently created the pen and sold 400 of them to NASA for a song. The reason the exaggerated story is so widely embraced, though, is because it rings true.

We often expend large amounts of time and effort creating elaborate solutions to problems when a simple answer is right under our noses.
