HAPPY BIRTHDAY GOOGLE!!!

The Tech giant google stepped into its 18th year on Tuesday. But the data tells that google should be now in 19th year by 15th sept based on the first register of the google.com domain. The reason behind celebrating the birthday on 27th is September for ths past four year is, Lary page and surgey brin intially founded the company back on sept 27,1998. Still, the confusion remains because it was celebrated in different dates such as 7th 8th and 26th of September for some years. Since Google is the world's second Technology next to Apple, we just sweep out the gossip aside and lets celebrate the birthday of  our beloved Tech Giant.

MYSTERY CORNER

THE ALUMINUM WEDGE OF AUID

In 1974, this is a wedge-shaped object found 1.2 miles east of Aiud, Romania. It was discovered on the banks of the Mures River. It was reportedly unearthed 35 feet under sand and alongside two mastodon bones. It looks like the head of a hammer and is made of an alloy of aluminum encased in a thin layer of oxide. It’s strange because aluminum was not discovered until 1808 and not produced in quantity until 1885. Since it was found in the same layer as mastodon bones, it would indicate that this wedge was at least 11,000 years old. Many people believe that this wedge is evidence that aliens visited earth, since there is no way that humans created such an alloy so many thousands of years ago.
