Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Fake Crystal Skulls

Less than three months after the Quai Branly Museum in Paris discovered that a crystal skull once proclaimed as a mystical Aztec masterpiece was a fake, it is now the turn of the British Museum and the Smithsonian Institution to find they were victims of skull-duggery. Scientists from those two prestigious institutions on Wednesday said their crystal skulls were cut, honed and polished by tools of the industrial age, not by Mesoamerican craftsmen of yore. "The skulls under consideration are not pre-Columbian. They must surely be regarded as of relatively modern manufacture," they say. "Each skull was probably worked not more than a decade before it was first offered for sale." The skulls became star exhibits in all three museums long before the Indiana Jones movie, "The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," hit the movie screens this year. The superstitious deemed them part of a collection of 12 skulls, endowed with healing or mystical powers, that dated back to the ancient culture of Central America. Reuniting all 12 skulls, together with a putative 13th, would conjure up a massive power that would prevent the Earth from tipping over on December 21 2012, the "doomsday" in the Mayan calendar, according to one fable. Legend-lovers had a bad day on April 18 when the Quai Branly said it had found grooves and perforations in its 11-centimetre-high quartz skull revealing the use of "jewellery burrs and other modern tools."

Super Cop-Killer

Gaze into the eyes of the Super Cop-Killer!!! Another officer stabbed in a knife attack at a police station in Shanghai has died, raising the death toll to six. The Shanghai Public Security Bureau says the officer died in hospital late Tuesday, several hours after the attack. Police say an unemployed 28-year-old man stormed the police station and started attacking officers with a knife. Five officers died at the scene and four others, along with a guard, were injured in the attack. The official Xinhua news agency reported that the attacker, only identified by his surname Yang, was carrying a knife, a hammer, a mask, aerosol spray and homemade explosives. Police are still investigating his motive. Yang, who is from Beijing, initially told police he was seeking revenge after officers at the station in Shanghai's Zhabei district investigated him last year for allegedly stealing bicycles. When he reached the gate of the police station, he lobbed eight Molotov cocktails at the entrance, injuring a security guard who tried to stop him. Yang made his way into the building, stabbing four officers he caught by surprise in the guard room. He then forced his way through to the 10th, 11th, and 21st floors of the building, wounding another five officers. He was finally captured by a team of special police on the 21st floor.
