		<description><![CDATA[The Web is Falling (Or whales are falling out of the sky)
Twitter got a huge boost in terms of exposure and users by throwing whales at innocent users (http://cynicroot.com/blog/2008/07/30/the-twitter-conspiracy-downtime-a-publicity-stunt/).
Other companies are now doing the same. It seems that some downtime provides good exposure to companies with many users which don&#8217;t get too much spotlight.

		<title>Importing oil from titan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Nasa has gone as far as Titan (Saturn&#8217;s moon) to find oil.
http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/cassini/media/cassini-20080730.html
I&#8217;m opening the inter-planetary commodities business: we&#8217;re going to import oil from Titan and make a stop-over in mars to pick up water as well.

It is believed that these water could be soon bottled and sent back to earth, creating the most exclusive brand of mineral water yet.
It is now hoped that no local life form is found to claim this new source.
