Marriage Proposal Gone Wrong
11/16/09 - Wacky News
“This is a story of love rewarded. Twice. James Ng was set to propose to his fiancĂ©e on a hot-air balloon ride when the symbol of their love fell 500 feet into the woods. Ng, 26, pastor of New Mercies Community Church, had hidden the 1-carat diamond ring in a box in his camera case. As they floated along on Oct. 29, the case slipped from his hands. “I just watched it tumble, and it hit a tree and spun around, and the stuff fluttered out of it,” Ng recalls. “And I just put my head down on the side of the balloon, and I was just — I just couldn’t believe I’d just done that. “My first thought was don’t tell her… and buy another ring — which it took me forever to afford the one I had,” Ng says. But Sonya Bostic, 27, caught on. “When he reacted the way he did, that’s when I knew,” she says. “Wait a second! My ring’s in there!” Ng dropped to one knee and proposed anyway. She said yes.” w/ video

Finding True Love By Cheek Swabbing
11/16/09 - Wacky News
“Looking for love? Try leaning in for a… cheek swab. A couple of genetic testing companies are promising to match couples based on the DNA testing, touting the benefits of biological compatibility. The companies claim that a better biological match will mean better sex, less cheating, longer-lasting love and perhaps even healthier children. “How many dating services can you think of where they can suggest you might have better children?” said Eric Holzle, founder of ScientificMatch.com, one of the first online dating sites to use DNA. Holzle wouldn’t reveal membership numbers, but GenePartner, a Swiss company that works with matchmakers and dating sites, has tested more than 1,000 people, according to chief scientific officer Tamara Brown. Some were already coupled and took the test out of curiosity. The GenePartner Test is $99, and will be offered at the dating site sense2love.com when it relaunches next month.” w/ photo

Top 7 Totally Sweet Enemy Spacecraft
11/16/09 - Top Lists
“One of the coolest things about science fiction is the fact that its ultimately judged by how far it pushes the limits of our imagination. It’s quite a pure medium in that way: if you fail to elicit “oohs” and “aahs,” then your art was unsuccessful. Like a baker’s chocolate chip cookies, the enemy’s spacecraft is perhaps the single most significant barometer of a sci-fi flick’s inventiveness. How indestructible, how injurious, how awe-inspiringly massive can their alien technology be? Here’s a list of some enemy spacecraft that have truly wowed us.” w/ videos
