Did Neil Armstrong really land on moon?? If you say yes....Then read it THE PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE Issue 1 : Since the Moon has only one light source, the Sun, the shadows must be in line. But in this cases, it looks as if there are multiple light sources in moon, which is not possible Issue 2: The foreground of many images of the astronauts on the Moon are filled in with light, while the shadows remain absolutely black, again proving that there are multiple light sources. Issue 3 : There are no stars in the background from pictures taken on the Moon. Issue 4 :  In some images, a huge light source can be seen reflected in the astronaut's visors. This has to be a very bright, nearby source. There is no possibility of external light source in moon. Issue 5: How could NASA take TV images of the LM ascending on Apollo 15, 16, and 17 if there was no one on the Lunar surface to man the camera? Issue 6  : There can't be any pictures taken on the Moon because the

debate over burial continues as No post-mortem for Gaddafi

Military commanders in Misurata rebuffed demands for a post-mortem on the body of Col Muammar Gaddafi on Saturday as reports said that tribal relatives said the corpse should be handed over for ritual burial. Misurata fighters who captured Gaddafi refuse to accept any blame for the dictator's death and have rejected international demands for a medical report into the cause of death. "There will be no post-mortem today, nor any day," Misurata military council spokesman Fathi al-Bashaagha said. "No one is going to open up his body." The statement came amid prolonged confusion over how rebel officials intended to deal with the corpse.

T. REX TEENS PACKED ON THE POUNDS

Johnny Cash  might have said, life wasn't easy for a dinosaur named SUE. She grew up quick and she grew up mean, packing on nearly 4000 pounds a year as a teenager. "We estimate they [Tyrannosaurs] grew as fast as 3,950 pounds per year (1790 kg) during the teenage period of growth, which is more than twice the previous estimate," said John R. Hutchinson of The Royal Veterinary College, London in a press release. Modeling the teenage growth spurts of an ancient mega-predator was made possible by comparing computer models of smaller, younger Tyrannosaurs with those of full grown adults, including the tyrant lizard queen, SUE, the largest  T. rex  skeleton yet discovered. The new models also found that the 42 foot-long SUE may have been much heavier than earlier estimates. She tipped the scales at approximately 9 tons, according to the computer model. "We knew she was big but the 30 percent increase in her weight was unexpected," said co-author Peter Makovicky, c
