extinct

The nearly blind, white freshwater dolphin native to the Yangtze River in China is no more. For six weeks, researchers from six nations have trolled the waters of the Yangtze River looking for baiji, but finally gave up this week. None were found, despite their numbers being plentiful several...

The Xinhua News Agency announced on 4 December 2006 that no Chinese River Dolphins were detected in a six-week survey of the Yangtze River conducted by 30 researchers. In 1990 this species had less than 200 left when surveys were done and after the Three Gorges Dam was built it basically killed...

Oh sure, you can get free ones that will SCAN your system....but I've yet to find any that will CLEAN your system for free anymore. Even good ol Spybot has gone this route. Anyone know of any left that will clean for free?

I'm also going to ask this question on some religious boards and gauge the respective reactions. If every Christian, Muslim, Jew, Hindu etc. decided not to expose their next generation to their religion at all. To answer questions with simple explanations like "You can't kill people because it...

Last Sat. I met up with some of the NY Big Apple Babes at the American Museum of Natural History. Both the company and the museum were absolutely terrific. Some of us broke away and saw the Darwin exhibit -- also absolutely terrific. The Darwin exhibit was extremely thorough and touched upon...

Was thinking about this today. In first world countries, we have computers, DVD's, free music, Ipods, PSP's, cell phones and all kinds of portal constant diversions. When's the last time, outside of work, you were really bored? I really can't think of it for me. That's pretty noteworthy, isn't...

Saw Penn and Teller's Bullsh!t last night on the Endangered Species Act, and it got me pondering a few questions. We're all familiar with these kinds of claims: Questions: 1) How do they determine these numbers? 2) Is there a list somewhere of the species that became extinct yesterday? Last...

I just had some moron spam me about MS giving away money to forward emails. :rolleyes: And here I thought that became extinct around the same time 486s did.... It never ceases to amaze me how greed can blind people to even the most obvious and ridiculous of things. I wonder if they...

http://www.anzwers.org/free/livedragons/evolutio.htm You see, evolution is a fraud because some paintings and stories, done by people who thought bleeding people to death was a good medical practice, have dragons in them. But that's not all! Pictures of what look like sand castles and a crappy...

That sucks. Seems the Y-chromosome is losing more and more traits. How would you hypothetically fix that? -INRM

You heard it here first, folks.

I understand that Spotted Owls are cute little guys but if they cannot live in their environment isn't that tough luck? Why should we care about the Spotted Owl? Is not making heroic efforts to save it or any other critter simply romantic nonsense? Now, if it is somehow worthwhile to save...

this may have been discussed before as it is about a month old. Bryan Sykes http://www.guardian.co.uk/medicine/story/0,11381,1030595,00.html thinks the Y chromosome (and presumeably the human race) is going extinct in 100,000 years or so due to Y chromosomal damage. This will be manifest by...
