Awesome Or Off-Putting: The Bloop
Awesome or Off-Putting is a weekly delve into cryptozoology, ufology, aliens, medical marvels, scientific wonders, secret societies, government conspiracies, cults, ghosts, EVPs, myths, ancient artifacts, religion, strange facts, odd sightings or just the plain unexplainable. Off the coast of South America in 1997, hydrophones originally set up by the US to detect incoming Soviet Submarines picked up a sound. That sound seemed to be from a live animal, but were that the case said animal would have been larger than a blue whale. Nobody yet knows what caused it - but we've got the noise for your personal listening pleasure right here...
OJ Simpson Trial: Secret Tape Not As Exciting As You Thought
The outcome of the OJ Simpson trial rests on one thing - the lingering resentment of everyone who thought OJ Simpson killed his wife a decade ago. Only joking. That's got nothing to do with the outcome of OJ Simpson's trial at all. Well, technically it probably has got a bit to do with it, but let's not get into that.

That can be said for the first 15 episodes of X-Factor as we all wonder why a fat lass from Wigan who sounds like she’s singing through her nostril thinks she can win. Some people, however, get past cocky comments from judges like Simon Cowell and go on to make a decent living, before descending in to the world of Big Issue selling – just give Leona Lewis another 18 months. It was the great old days though, when manufactured singers were poached from the Mickey Mouse Club. Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera have both left the iron fist of Disney to lighten up our lives. But no-one has done this more so than Britney Spears, whose early glittering career really has gone up shit creek without a paddle. Now, leaked video footage from a Las Vegas gig captures Britney’s “live vocal†not sounding too peachy.
