Today, since it's the weekend, and there are no major news concerning 1-2, I'll just post World News. The Middle East is in turmoil. Israel's offensive against Lebanon has caused over 458 deaths, mostly civilians. 18 Israeli civilians and 32 soldiers have died. Hizbollah, the Lebanese guerrilla group, has fired a new long range missile into Israel, called the'Khaibar 1'. It is believed to have carried 100kg of explosives in its warhead. Hizbollah has fired over 1500 misslies into Israel since the beginning of the conflict. Iran and Syria are believed to be supplying Hizbollah with missiles. Currently, Hizbollah has around 13000 rockets in its arsenal. Let us hope that this conflict will end as soon as possible and in a peaceful way.

On a lighter note, I just discovered how make Coca-Cola Light rockets which can go over 3 stories high. How? In case you don't know, by putting mentos into Diet Coke, you the whole Coke will fill up with bubbles. So, quickly put about 6 mentos into a 500ml bottle of Diet Coke. Close the cap quickly. Now throw the bottle at the ground (hard) and watch it rocket!
