Man Utd 1 Liverpool 4!
Surely, being 7 points behind, there is little hope for Liverpool to win the Premiership this season but what a great step this is towards keeping those hopes up! They absolutely smashed Manchester United who were labeled as unbeatable by many.
Liverpool had a great victory on Tuesday by defeating Spanish giants Real Madrid 4-0 and kicking them out of Champions League. Liverpool is often criticized about not giving their 100% in English Premier League even though they have been doing a tremendous job in Champions League for the past 5 years by winning one in 2005 in Istanbul and making it to the final once more in 2007 in Athens. On the other hand they have not won the Premier League since 1990 even though they hold the "most-winner" title with 18 times.
and this one goes for Wayne Rooney who made a ridiculous statement couple of days ago about how he hates Liverpool being an Evertonian since childhood!
Walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone!

Watchmen is a hit!
As I have previously pointed out, I have been waiting impatiently for the movie Watchmen. Apparently it became a hit as it earns almost $25 Mil on first day.
Watchmen is based on the comic book limited series of the same name. It takes place in an alternate history United States in which superheroes emerged in the 1940s and 1960s, helping the United States to win the Vietnam War. The country is edging closer to a nuclear war with the Soviet Union, freelance costumed vigilantes have been outlawed, and most costumed superheroes are in retirement or working for the government. The story focuses on the personal development and struggles of the heroes as they investigate the murder of a government supported superhero. The investigation pulls them out of retirement and eventually leads them to confront a plot to kill millions of innocent people.
It has a 8,3 score on IMDB so far which is relatively high for a comic-based movie. I just cannot wait to see it. I am planning to write a detailed review afterwards. Stay tuned!

40,000 planets could inhabit intelligent aliens
University of Edinburgh made a research that estimates up to 37,964 planets can support life form that is as intelligent as humans. This is actually more of a calculation than a research.
The estimate took factors such as temperature and availability of water and minerals into account. It was then extrapolated in the Milky Way. I want to stress out the point that this calculation is limited to our galaxy. Hubble Telescope estimated in 1999 that there are a minimum of 125 billion galaxies in the universe. Some research numbers go up to 500 billion. It seems extremely unlikely that Earth is the only planet that inhabits intelligent life forms.
The researchers believe it will take 300 to 400 years for us to make contact with our neighbors. It is only natural to think that some of them are more technologically advanced than us. I personally expect that we will first be contacted rather than contact. Especially when you think about how much we have on our plate with wars, global warming, poverty, immense capitalism etc. Extraterrestrial research will not have a financial priority unless we solve those problems first and I do not see it happening in the near future.
