Hello, time for the awesome yet odd news of today.
Hundreds of people in Israel are spending their evenings looking for mermaids after a series of ‘sightings’ were reported. According to the dozens of people who claim to have seen the mermaid – but no one had a camera at the time – she appears just off the coast at around sunset. Now the town council of Kiryat Yam, near Haifa, is offering a 1 million dollars to anyone who can prove that she exists. Of course the town says is offering the reward purely for scientific reasons, and not because they hope the odd news might boost tourism. Those who claim to have seen the mermaid claim she does tricks and jumps out of the water like a dolphin.
The council added that a photograph will count as proof and that there is no need for people try to catch the mermaid. Awesome, I KNEW THEY EXISTED but hey, people will photoshop up a picture I swear… What else will the mermaid do? Sing and do tricks for food?
AND, it looks like Facebook is going to launch another project/feature very soon. The new feature will be called “Facebook Lite”. It’s going to look like Twitter, since Twitter is the most popular thing right now. Facebook acquired Friendfeed and a realtime search. Now, it looks like “Facebook Lite” is coming, because thousands of Facebook users have been chosen to test out Facebook Lite. And just as quickly, the message disappeared. It has been reported that the link does NOT work because I’ve tired and it just takes you back to the home page.
This is what the message looks like. Pretty awesome right?
