discovered

Scientists probe 2,000-year-old Greek [possibly] computer I thought this was an interesting discovery. As noted in the article it would be a very interesting find if it turns out to be true. It's already been noted that the ancient Greeks (iirc) had discovered, and then subsequently...

Potentially a very valuable one. I like that, at the end of the article, they remind us that even if this turns out to be clinically useful, in the long run bacteria will evolve that are resistant to this one too.

In Israel, near the plain of Megiddo, no less... Pretty interesting. Still, one of the last paragraphs has me wondering...

BBC story on tenth planet. How cool is that? All those horoscopes will have to be re-written though.

Just a FYI, on PBS tonight is a show about the controversial "Chinese Discovered America" hypothesis. Last I heard, the 15th century Chinese were perfectly capable of such voyages of discovery, but there was no evidence that they had. IIRC, there was some underground imaging that showed a...

Story

It's been here for a long time, but the homeopaths have kept it secret from the general public. The solvent they use to dilute their remedies with is actually pure unobtainium. This stuff has no memory whatsoever of past substances it has been in contact with, but a homeopath can activate the...

My fiance and I were kidding around about heaven the other day. She's a good Episcopalian, so she's going. I'm pretty sure I'm not. She laughingly told me she would miss me. Then I realized a wonderful thing - she loves me so much that it won't be heaven for her if I'm not there! So in...

This is both paranormal and scientific at the same time. Go to the forum and check it out.

A very large article about this in our Sunday paper. Some researcher, I think from SETI, claims that with our advances in this field, and our probings that have been going on for years now...that aliens will be discovered within 22 years from now. I am not making this up. This was a real matter...

Here it is:

Alas, it is extinct: The creature has been dubbed "Guinea-zilla."

Other species discovered include a "goth" gecko, "jock" beetle, and "preppie" salamander. :D

For comparison, the Milky Way is over 100,000 light-years in diameter. The UCDs are not much more than 100 light-years across. More news stories here.

Yes, it's a whole 400nano meters across. But it appears to be more complex than some bacteria. http://www.abc.net.au/science/news/stories/s818289.htm
