Robert Capa--Lost Negatives
Photographer of the Spanish Civil War, his most famous photo has been hotly debated as real. A lost suitcase of negatives, otherwise known as The Capa Cache* has been found.

Pretty kitties, tusks, and more!
Traditionally, the Big Five of Africa were the most ferocious mammals hunters tried to kill. Now safari-goers are more likely to shoot with a camera. But there are other ways to encounter the Big Five.
1. Elephant biltong (that's jerky to some of us).
2. Suicide by Lions -- don't get your lady pregnant, or this might happen to you.
3. Cape Buffalos are usually in a herd, but sometimes you'll meet the Dagga Boy.
4. Dead Rhino at your local Mormon University museum.
5. Leopards -- here kitty, kitty.

Teach your brain to stretch time
- Biologists traditionally divide our timekeeping abilities into three domains: circadian rhythms, which control things such as sleep and wakefulness over the 24-hour period; millisecond timing, which is involved in fine motor tasks; and interval timing, which is the seconds-to-minutes range - the system through which we consciously perceive the passage of time.

Curious George: Nudes for Kids
So my son is 8 years old, and has recently started getting very curious about the differences between male and female bodies. He's even come home talking about a friend at school who's gained respect in 2nd grade for having "accidentally" found some pics of naked women online (probably with the accidental help of his two older brothers), and so the little Pettle has expressed an interest in seeing naked women.

An exhibition
of the ten thousand slides owned by the Museum of the History of Science. (ssome exhibits require Flash) 'Over three-quarters of these are contained in a single cabinet on permanent loan from the Royal Microscopical Society, with specimens prepared between 1860 and 1930. Faced with the challenging task of mounting an engaging display of so many tiny exhibits, the Museum staff collaborated with artist Heather Barnett and performance poet Will Holloway to create ‘Small Worlds’, an exhibition in an unusual range of media - images, objects, film, animation, curtains, wallpaper and poetry.'
Buddhism is the best religion because it doesn't discriminate against animals
and allows all species entry, hence this praying dog.
