Mali's people reap no reward from cloned wild-rice gene. "Born a generation ago, partly in California laboratories and farm fields, biotechnology promised a banquet of benefits: It would bring more choice to consumers, pose no environmental threat to organic and conventional farmers, create little or no regulatory burden for government and, most tantalizingly, help feed the world's hungry. So far - like UC Davis' effort to aid Mali - biotechnology has not delivered."

Petals around the rose. A simple Flash game. I can tell you the name of the game, and that the answer is always either zero or an even number, but apart from that it's up to you to work out the rule governing the number of petals round the rose.

They lay their eggs in your flesh. Last night at a dinner party, a friend related the horrid tale of someone infested by the larvae of the botfly, which lays its eggs in the flesh of mammals. I didn't believe her until I looked it up for myself -- and it's true. They struck a three-year-old in the neck and back ("The neck lesion continued to enlarge, and by this time a small hole was visible at its center.") They struck one man in the scrotum ("One lady Doc picked up Marks chart & said 'I'm not touching that'!"). The larvae has even shown up in the human eye. (Warning: very nasty picture!) more inside
