Meteorites were pulled from an auction in New York when the bidding was poor. Two of the most famous meteorites in the world drew bids less than half of the reserve. Not all was a loss at the auction though, a mail box that was struck and damaged by a three pound meteorite in 1984 sold for a whopping $82,750. The small, very small, piece of the meteorite that struck the mailbox sold for just under $8000.

Check Out My Lead Based Teeth!
Yet another Chinese toy is being recalled for containing more than the "acceptable" amount of lead. Apparently the "Ugly Teeth" being recalled contained more than 100 times the allowed amount of lead. Maybe someday we will learn that cheaper doesn't mean better... or safer for that matter.

5.6 earthquag shakes central coast

This evening around 8:04 ish p.m. a 5.6 earthquake shook the central coast of California. The epicenter hit San Jose with a earth shaking 5.6 on the Richter magnitude scale. Here, in Santa Cruz ( home base of Zombie Obscurity) we felt a small 7 to 10 second shuffle. It was pretty cool... as long as you're not a home owner. Any how, most of us Californians know we're due for a good one, so be prepared for the next big quake!
