Happy birthday Nikola Tesla !!
Tesla was born "at the stroke of midnight" with lightning striking
during a summer storm. He was born to a Serbian family in Smiljan near
Gospić, Lika, (the Military Frontier of Austria-Hungary, now in
Croatia). The midwife commented, "He'll be a child of the storm," to
which his mother replied, "No, of light." Tesla was baptized in the Old
Slavonic Church rite. His Baptism Certificate reports that he was born
on June 28 (Julian calendar; July 10 in the Gregorian calendar) 1856
(10 July 1856 – 7 January 1943)

where are you now my dum dum boys, are you alive or dead?
Amazing, slow-burning boner of a song.
In case you didn't know this little tidbit, The Idiot was the soundtrack to Ian Curtis' death.
"Unlike the uncertainties that surround the deaths of other rock legends like Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, and the disappearance of Manic Street Preachers lead singer Richey Edwards, the pieces of Curtis’ suicide seem to be thoughtfully considered and placed. Before hanging himself in the kitchen, he watched a a favorite film, Werner Herzog’s 'Stroszek,' and listened to Iggy Pop’s album “The Idiot,” which was still spinning on the turntable when he was found."

Via Viki:
Amid the cold and deep snows of midwinter, the wolf packs howled hungrily outside Indian villages. Thus, the name for January's full Moon. Sometimes it was also referred to as the Old Moon, or the Moon After Yule. Some called it the Full Snow Moon, but most tribes applied that name to the next Moon.

UFO over Norway??
Mystery as spiral blue light display hovers above NorwayWitnesses from Trøndelag to Finnmark compared the amazing sight to anything from a Russian rocket to a meteor or a shock wave - although no one appears to have mentioned UFOs yet.
The phenomenon began when what appeared to be a blue light seemed to soar up from behind a mountain. It stopped mid-air, then began to circulate. Within seconds a giant spiral had covered the entire sky. Then a green-blue beam of light shot out from its centre - lasting for ten to twelve minutes before disappearing completely.
The Norwegian Meteorological Institute was flooded with telephone calls after the light storm - which astronomers have said did not appear to have been connected to the aurora, or Northern Lights, so common in that area of the world.
The mystery deepened tonight as Russia denied it had been conducting missile tests in the area.
Fred Hansen, from Bø in Vesterålen, described the sight as 'like a big fireball that went around, with a great light around it again.'

A Moscow news outlet tonight quoted the Russian Navy as denying any rocket launches from the White Sea area.
Norway should be informed of such launches under international agreements, it was stressed. The Russian Defence Ministry was unavailable for comment last night.
