Stone Signals <> A balancing act <> Rocket Man

Earth’s most ancient rocks, with an age of £4.8bn, have been found on the shores of Hudson Bay. The sample of ‘Greenstone’ is estimated to be 250m years older than any previously identified. The stone may reveal evidence of the earliest life on Earth. The Professor of Geology leading the study said, “The rock contains a very special chemical signature - one that can be found in very, very old rocks only. Nobody has found that signal anywhere else on Earth. Everyone is so excited!” As Rev. North asked in out story, ‘What do these stones mean?” Lets take a closer look at the image of the Greenstone.
Notice the X at the heart of the stone? Is the really a poser,”Do we have the X-factor?” as explored in our story? A signal that we need to adjust our way of life to live in balance with the natural world. Perhaps Bill Dan has the answer…
Bill is a performance artist who has been wowing crowds in San Fransisco Bay with his amazing designs involving resting different sized rocks on top of each other. His gravity defying work has led many to refuse to believe he doesn’t use glue or some other trickery. If you’re watching Bill, we believe in the magic of the stones.

Let’s consult the Rolling Stones for advice on what humanity needs to do to avoid eviction from planet earth.

Meanwhile Yves Rossy has succeeded in his quest to make the first single jetpack flight across the English Channel. It took him just 10 minutes to fly across the 23 mile stretch of water. History is littered with man’s attempts to fly like a bird and now someone has achieved that dream.
