The ratcatcher is Mr. Xian, who grabbed the rat after he saw a crowd gathered around it. </p> <blockquote><p><em>He told local Chinese newspapers that he thought the rat might be a valuable specimen, or a rare species, and had to muster up his courage before grabbing its tail and picking it up by the scruff of its neck.</p> <p>“I did it, I caught a rat the size of a cat!” he shouted out afterwards, according to the reports. Mr Xian is believed to still be in possession of the animal, after stuffing into a bag and departing the scene.</em></p></blockquote> <p>The rat had a 12-inch tail and teeth and inch long! Forestry officials who saw pictures think it’s a Chinese bamboo rat, which rarely grow over ten inches long, but cannot be sure until they examine the rat itself. <a

I wanted one. I still want one. Thanks to the folks at LG, now we can all have one. LG’s G910 Touch Watch phone, available later this year, is a mere 13.9mm thick and features a full touch-screen interface, video calling capabilities and an MP3 player. There are a lot of firsts for this little device - it’s the first of its kind and the first to be supported by a major mobile phone carrier. That mobile carrier is Europe’s Orange, which means if you don’t live in Europe you’ll probably have to wait a bit longer to sprint through the streets pretending to be on a top-secret mission.</p> <p><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831/http://www.ubergizmo.com/15/archives/2009/02/orange_to_offer_lg_g910_touch_watch_phone.html">Link</a></p> <p>From the <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831/http://www.neatorama.com/upcoming">Upcoming <img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831im_/http://neatorama.cachefly.net/img7/NeatoQ.jpg" class="middle">ueue</a>, submitted by <img alt="" src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831im_/http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/3e026867504068d6524bfd8959bbf916?s=16&d=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D16&r=G" class="avatar avatar-16" height="16" width="16"> <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831/http://www.whitespace.bz/ws/web/forms/pulse/PulseArticles.aspx" title="member since January 26th, 2009" class="profilelink">whitespace</a>.</p> <div style="both"></div> <div class="clearboth"> </div> <table width="500" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"> <tr> <td><img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831im_/http://neatorama.cachefly.net/img7/icon-comment.gif" width="16" height="14" align="absmiddle"> <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831/http://www.neatorama.com/2009/02/18/the-world%e2%80%99s-first-touch-watch-phone/#comments" title="Comment on The World’s First Touch Watch Phone">Comment (3)</a> <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831/http://www.neatorama.com/2009/02/18/the-world%e2%80%99s-first-touch-watch-phone/">Permalink</a> Please share: <img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831im_/http://neatorama.cachefly.net/img7/icon-email.gif" width="14" height="11" align="absmiddle"> <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831/http://www.neatorama.com/2009/02/18/the-world%e2%80%99s-first-touch-watch-phone/email/" rel="nofollow">email this</a> <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831/http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=http://www.neatorama.com/2009/02/18/the-world%e2%80%99s-first-touch-watch-phone/" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831im_/http://neatorama.cachefly.net/img7/icon-stumbleupon.gif" width="14" height="14" border="0" align="absmiddle"></a> <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831/http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=http://www.neatorama.com/2009/02/18/the-world%e2%80%99s-first-touch-watch-phone/" rel="nofollow">+SU</a> </td> <td valign="top"><script showbranding="0" src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831js_/http://d.yimg.com/ds/badge.js" badgetype="small">neatorama445:http://www.neatorama.com/2009/02/18/the-world%e2%80%99s-first-touch-watch-phone/</script></td> </tr> </table> <br/> <!-- <rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:trackback="http://madskills.com/public/xml/rss/module/trackback/"> <rdf:Description rdf:about="http://www.neatorama.com/2009/02/18/the-world%e2%80%99s-first-touch-watch-phone/" dc:identifier="http://www.neatorama.com/2009/02/18/the-world%e2%80%99s-first-touch-watch-phone/" dc:title="The World’s First Touch Watch Phone" trackback:ping="http://www.neatorama.com/2009/02/18/the-world%e2%80%99s-first-touch-watch-phone/trackback/" /> </rdf:RDF> --> <hr/><br/> <h2 id="post-22937"><a class="noline" href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831/http://www.neatorama.com/2009/02/18/oil-rig-resort/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link: Oil Rig Resort"> Oil Rig Resort</a></h2> <div id="postinfo">Posted by <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831/http://www.neatorama.com/">Queuebot</a> in <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831/http://www.neatorama.com/category/science-medicine/" title="View all posts in Science & Tech" rel="category tag">Science & Tech</a> on February 18, 2009 at 2:50 pm</div> <br/> <p> <div class="imageleft"><img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831im_/http://neatorama.com/upcoming/thumbs/2009/02/17/Oil-rig-resort-m.jpg"></div> <p>Some 4,000 oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico are set to be decommissioned during this century.

Last week, doctors at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit “Tweeted” an operation to remove a tumor from a kidney. </p> <blockquote><p><em>Dr. Craig Rogers, the lead surgeon in the Henry Ford surgery, said the impetus for his Twittering was to let people know that a tumor can be removed without taking the entire kidney.</p> <p>“We’re trying to use this as a way to get the word out,” Rogers said.</p> <p>Observers say Twittering about a procedure is a natural outgrowth of the social networking media revolution.</p> <p>“Doing this removes a real communication barrier. It helps make something scary much more comprehendable,” said Christopher Parks, co-founder of the Web site changehealthcare.com. “It brings us closer together and makes us more engaged.”</em></p></blockquote> <p><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831/http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/02/17/twitter.surgery/index.html">Link</a> -via <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831/http://geeklikeme.net/">Geek Like Me</a></p> <div class="clearboth"> </div> <table width="500" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"> <tr> <td><img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831im_/http://neatorama.cachefly.net/img7/icon-comment.gif" width="16" height="14" align="absmiddle"> <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831/http://www.neatorama.com/2009/02/18/twittering-surgery/#comments" title="Comment on Twittering Surgery">Comment (3)</a> <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831/http://www.neatorama.com/2009/02/18/twittering-surgery/">Permalink</a> Please share: <img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831im_/http://neatorama.cachefly.net/img7/icon-email.gif" width="14" height="11" align="absmiddle"> <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831/http://www.neatorama.com/2009/02/18/twittering-surgery/email/" rel="nofollow">email this</a> <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831/http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=http://www.neatorama.com/2009/02/18/twittering-surgery/" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831im_/http://neatorama.cachefly.net/img7/icon-stumbleupon.gif" width="14" height="14" border="0" align="absmiddle"></a> <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831/http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=http://www.neatorama.com/2009/02/18/twittering-surgery/" rel="nofollow">+SU</a> </td> <td valign="top"><script showbranding="0" src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831js_/http://d.yimg.com/ds/badge.js" badgetype="small">neatorama445:http://www.neatorama.com/2009/02/18/twittering-surgery/</script></td> </tr> </table> <br/> <!-- <rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:trackback="http://madskills.com/public/xml/rss/module/trackback/"> <rdf:Description rdf:about="http://www.neatorama.com/2009/02/18/twittering-surgery/" dc:identifier="http://www.neatorama.com/2009/02/18/twittering-surgery/" dc:title="Twittering Surgery" trackback:ping="http://www.neatorama.com/2009/02/18/twittering-surgery/trackback/" /> </rdf:RDF> --> <hr/><br/> <h2 id="post-22928"><a class="noline" href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831/http://www.neatorama.com/2009/02/18/woodland-caravan/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link: Woodland Caravan"> Woodland Caravan</a></h2> <div id="postinfo">Posted by <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831/http://www.misscellania.com/">Miss Cellania</a> in <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831/http://www.neatorama.com/category/pictures/" title="View all posts in Pictures" rel="category tag">Pictures</a>, <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831/http://www.neatorama.com/category/geography-travel/" title="View all posts in Travel & Places" rel="category tag">Travel & Places</a> on February 18, 2009 at 10:52 am</div> <br/> <p><center><img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831im_/http://neatorama.cachefly.net/misscellania/caravan.jpg"></center><br/> The urban exploration site <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831/http://www.mechanised.org.uk/">mechanized</a> has a lovely photo post about a secret forest sanctuary.</p> <blockquote><p><em>A few years ago, in dense woodland a few miles from my home, I discovered a caravan. Encircled by trees and undergrowth, and over a mile from the nearest road, its presence was utterly incongruous, with few clues as to how or why it had come to rest at this point. For almost a year, I kept my distance, fearful it was inhabited by a hermit and that I would be chased away if I ventured too close. Eventually, I investigated further and discovered that it was empty; its furnishings intact, but no sign of human inhabitants.</em></p></blockquote> <p>That’s only the beginning of the story. After many visits, he discover there was another visitor to the caravan, and they begin leaving notes for each other. <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831/http://www.mechanised.org.uk/caravan.htm">Link</a> -via <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831/http://www.metafilter.com/">Metafilter</a></p> <div class="clearboth"> </div> <table width="500" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"> <tr> <td><img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831im_/http://neatorama.cachefly.net/img7/icon-comment.gif" width="16" height="14" align="absmiddle"> <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831/http://www.neatorama.com/2009/02/18/woodland-caravan/#comments" title="Comment on Woodland Caravan">Comment (6)</a> <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831/http://www.neatorama.com/2009/02/18/woodland-caravan/">Permalink</a> Please share: <img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831im_/http://neatorama.cachefly.net/img7/icon-email.gif" width="14" height="11" align="absmiddle"> <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831/http://www.neatorama.com/2009/02/18/woodland-caravan/email/" rel="nofollow">email this</a> <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831/http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=http://www.neatorama.com/2009/02/18/woodland-caravan/" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831im_/http://neatorama.cachefly.net/img7/icon-stumbleupon.gif" width="14" height="14" border="0" align="absmiddle"></a> <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831/http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=http://www.neatorama.com/2009/02/18/woodland-caravan/" rel="nofollow">+SU</a> </td> <td valign="top"><script showbranding="0" src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831js_/http://d.yimg.com/ds/badge.js" badgetype="small">neatorama445:http://www.neatorama.com/2009/02/18/woodland-caravan/</script></td> </tr> </table> <br/> <!-- <rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:trackback="http://madskills.com/public/xml/rss/module/trackback/"> <rdf:Description rdf:about="http://www.neatorama.com/2009/02/18/woodland-caravan/" dc:identifier="http://www.neatorama.com/2009/02/18/woodland-caravan/" dc:title="Woodland Caravan" trackback:ping="http://www.neatorama.com/2009/02/18/woodland-caravan/trackback/" /> </rdf:RDF> --> <hr/><br/> <br/> <strong>See the rest of Neatorama: </strong> <br/> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="10" bgcolor="#E9E9E9" class="border" align="center"> <tr> <td> <div style="text-align: center;"><strong><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831/http://www.neatorama.com/page/2/">Next page</a></strong></div> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </td> <td width="360" valign="top" align="left"> <!-- Sidebar starts --> <div id="sidebar"> <!-- Search box and top links starts --> <img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831im_/http://neatorama.cachefly.net/img7/icon-bookmark.gif" width="10" height="11" align="absmiddle"> <a href="javascript:bookmarksite('Neatorama', 'http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831/http://www.neatorama.com')">Bookmark Us</a> | <img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831im_/http://neatorama.cachefly.net/img7/icon-rss.gif" width="11" height="11" align="absmiddle"> <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220005831/http://feeds.feedburner.com/Neatorama">RSS</a> | Want more?
