The Industrious Beavers

Posted on May 8, 2010 by Steve

Dag and Norbert would be impressed with this feat of engineering. I find it mind boggling that the little rodents could pull off such an amazing piece of work but according to the article, this group is very removed from … Continue reading →

Face/Off “reality” happens in the US

Posted on December 17, 2008 by Steve

Although the French succeeded before America did, I’m hoping the recipient was a more sympathetic candidate than France’s first. My friend Bryant, who lived there for a few years, gave me the details the news stories didn’t bother to state; … Continue reading →

The Haunted Mansion has nothing on these spiders

Posted on August 30, 2007 by Steve

This bit of news won’t do much for those with an irrational fear of spiders. I’ve seen much smaller, cotton-candy-like webs around wooded areas of Texas before but the measurements on this one are impressive. I’m not afraid of the eight-legged … Continue reading →

Knowing what little goes through the brains of dogs and their fondness for sniffing everything, they may be jealous of these Bolivian dogs an explorer finally got confirmed, hence the creepy pictures. Too bad the Weekly World News went to being online … Continue reading →

Move over Emperor, here comes the Venti Penguin

Posted on June 26, 2007 by Steve

The BBC mentioned a pre-historic penguin found in Peru last night. It lived over 30 million years ago and stood over 1.5 meters tall (almost five feet)! This is definitely a setback to penguins’ ongoing PR campaign to present themselves as … Continue reading →

“Intelligence Design” in children, no FSM needed

Posted on February 15, 2007 by Steve

Now here’s a very vindicating piece from NPR this morning about child development. Despite the audio version requiring the inferior Real or Windows players, it is very delightful to see research proving how much you can do by encouraging children which … Continue reading →

Norweigan Seed Vault breaks ground in March

Posted on February 9, 2007 by Steve

It does sound like the plot point of a Seventies post-apocalyptic film starring Yul Brynner or George Peppard. I’m glad the Norwegians are running it because I don’t trust ADM or BASF to secure the world’s food supply, they’re more likely to be … Continue reading →

Posted on January 22, 2007 by Steve

For the fifteenth Science story I was going to plug the obit on the co-developer of the Electron Microscope but that would’ve been pretty morbid. Instead I stumbled upon this stating there is evidence of the first flying dinosaurs having a … Continue reading →
