What you linked to was a profile page, and the only project created (that's visible) is "Sanity is Slavery", not the "Extreme Futurist Fest". What's strange is that even when projects are forcibly cancelled, normally the page stays cancelled, not deleted. I'd assume, for the benefit of the backers. I'd be peeved if I backed a project and then the project page just disappeared.

For example, this project (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/606787527/the-tech-sync-power-system) raised almost 28k by the time someone figured out it was possibly a scam and got enough attention for kickstarter to contact the project owner, the project got cancelled, but it's still visible.

Strangely enough, when I started digging, I found this: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/machinekuntrecords/extreme-futurist-fest-2011 which is a project page, but is blank. This is the first time I've seen an actual blank page like this (and I've followed a lot of projects.)

The Physics of Superman 421

eieken writes "The physics of Superman mostly belong in the realm of comic books, but some scientists decided to give their input on the matter. The article tells of 'a scientific experiment in which a researcher put several chickens in a centrifuge and raised them in twice-normal gravity for months at a time. When they emerged, the chickens were stronger and had larger bones and muscles, and greater endurance. In other words, they were superchickens.' Do they have human sized centrifuges?"
