Ali Razeghi, a Tehran scientist has registered "The Aryayek Time Traveling Machine" with the state-run Centre for Strategic Inventions.

The device can predict the future in a print out after taking readings from the touch of a user, he told the Fars state newsagency.

Razaeghi, 27, said the device worked by a set of complex algorithims to "predict five to eight years of the future life of any individual, with 98 percent accuracy".

As the managing director of Iran's Centre for Strategic Inventions, Razeghi is a serial inventor with 179 other inventions listed under his own name. "I have been working on this project for the last 10 years," he said.

It turns out that a woman had spaghetti sauce—not a bomb— when she robbed a bank in Clinton Township Saturday.


Police say the woman, who was about 60 years old, placed a cloth bag on the counter of the Fifth Third Bank at 34564 Harper Road just before 11:30 a.m and demanded money from the teller saying there was a bomb inside the bag.


“It did look like there was a hard object in there,” Clinton Township Lt. Eric Reincke said. “But it was folded over so you couldn’t see what was inside.”


Bank employees left and the Michigan State Police bomb squad scanned the bag.


“It turned out that it was a couple of cans of spaghetti sauce inside the bag,” Reincke said.

An evangelical lawyer and professor from Jerry Falwell’s Liberty University on Wednesday warned that atheists were trying to “finish the job” that terrorists started when they attacked the United States on Sept. 11, 2011.

On Wednesday’s Faith and Freedom broadcast from Liberty Counsel, host Matt Starver and Liberty University law professor Shawn Akers celebrated a recent Southern District of New York court decision that said a pair of World Trade Center beams in the shape of a cross could be included in a memorial museum.

“If you think about the irony of what they’re saying, is that extremists from one religion brought down the Twin Towers, but the atheists are coming in to finish the job,” Akers explained. “Miraculously this perfect cross survived and people got hope from that, but now these atheists have come in and literally filed charges to try to bring this thing down.”

“We have very successfully gone into an age of religious McCarthyism, where we are seeking out religion as a nation to eradicate it in very forthright ways,” he opined.

He built a hut on a slope in the woods, where he spent his days reading books and meditating.

There he lived, re-entering civilization only to steal supplies from camps under the cover of darkness. During those nearly three decades, he spoke just once to another person – until he was arrested during a burglary last week.

In between, Knight told police, he committed more than 1,000 burglaries, always taking only what he needed to survive. He became so familiar for his thievery and elusiveness that he spawned the local legend of the North Pond Hermit, who for years confounded both locals and police investigating the break-ins.

In June 2005, the Morning Sentinel published a story about the "hermit of North Pond," who, it said, "for the last 15 years has been picking his way through dozens of the 300 or so camps around North Pond."

"We just did it. We both did it. I don't see how I did it, I think she did all the work."

Jeff Smith was working on the tractor at his home in Lebanon last week when it flipped over and pinned him underneath.

He screamed for help and his two girls, 14 and 16 years old, came running. Within minutes, they lifted the tractor off of him.

Looking at Smith today, with only a cast on his wrist and some abrasions, you might not believe what happened to him.

He said he was trying to pull a stump out of the ground when his foot slipped on the clutch and the whole thing flipped over.

"The steering wheel and the steering column is what had me pinned on my chest," he said.

His daughters quickly arrived at the scene and started digging. Then they called 911.

"I can't dig fast enough and I'm freaking out," said Haylee Smith, 14. "I just cannot dig fast enough."

Sheriff: Man uses feces to cover grow house smell

VANCLEAVE, MS (WLOX) -
An Ocean Springs man accused of running a marijuana grow house in Vancleave is behind bars, and you won't believe what agents found inside the Hwy 57 home.

Sheriff Mike Byrd said buckets of what appeared to be human feces were left out in an attempt to cover the strong smell of pot.

Monday, agents with the Narcotics Task Force of Jackson County executed a search warrant in the 10000 block of Highway 57, and discovered a large scale marijuana grow operation. Besides the pot and the pots of feces, they also found cash and marijuana cultivation paraphernalia inside the home.

Henry Ha Nguyen, 41, is charged with two counts of possession of a controlled substance (Marijuana/Methamphetamine) while in possession of a firearm, and one count of cultivation of marijuana (more than 10 pounds in a 12 month period).

MOSCOW, April 9 (RIA Novosti) – Angels and demons do really exist, but are often mistaken for "so-called aliens" by those who encounter them, a senior Russian Orthodox Church clergyman said.

“They are real creatures, humans come into contact with them as they sometimes reveal themselves,” Archpriest Vsevolod Chaplin, who oversees the Church’s public relations, told RIA Novosti in an interview when asked about Christianity’s attitude to ufology.

When speaking about the meteorite that fell on Russian territory in February, Chaplin said that people should always remember that life is fragile, “even without any meteorites.”
