Florida Human Chemical testing/ Zombie Apocalypse

Fair Use Notice: Florida Chemical testing/ Zombie Apocalypse. After a mysterious smoking barrel closed a stretch of A1A in Hollywood into the night Monday, authorities blew the 55-gallon drum to bits. They still don't know where it came from before it washed ashore over the weekend. www.miamiherald.com Two teachers and 13 students wore blue covers and rode a special county bus to Hollywood Memorial Regional Hospital where they were inspected by crews in Hazmat suits before being treated and released Wednesday. www.nbcmiami.com A woman literally burned a hole in her pocket from rocks collected on a family beach trip to San Clemente. In an Eyewitness News exclusive, authorities say the woman suffered serious burns. abclocal.go.com A witness to the disturbing crime, Larry Vega, had been riding his bike past the scene. He tried to get the "cannibal man" to stop, but he would not relent."I told him to get off and the other guy just kept eating the other guy away," he told WSVN-Fox 7. "The guy just stood, his head up like that, with pieces of flesh in his mouth. And he growled," the cyclist added. To make the story even more frightening, when the officer fired, police said the attacker continued to chew on the other man's face, forcing the officer to continue shooting until the suspect was dead. www.longislandpress.com

After an epic 354-million-mile trek through space, the Mars Curiosity Rover is zooming along at 13000 miles per hour toward a scheduled Aug. 6 landing on the Red Planet to search for evidence of extraterrestrial life. We took a visit to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory to talk to the Mars Science Laboratory Deputy Scientist, Ashwin Vasavada, who gave us a look "under the hood" of the rover, explaining the role of the analytical chemistry instruments found onboard Curiosity. Curiosity's primary mission goal is to determine the habitability of the Gale Crater, which scientists believe was once filled with water. Curiosity is basically an entire chemistry lab packed into a one mobile unit, equipped with the tools necessary to test the chemical composition of soil. Test results from these instruments will pave the way for future Mars missions, and may provide insight in the search for life on other planets.
