There is more to the eye than rods and cones — the discovery of a third photoreceptor is rewriting the visual rulebook.

Researchers aim to resurrect mammoth within 5 years. Of course, once they have, then what? What are they going to DO with the mammoth, put it in a zoo? Great for the mammoth, right?

Tampon shortage leads to bidding war. See, this is why you want to use a reusable product. I mean, unless you're silly enough to accidentally throw out your Divacup on the boat you're set - right?

Oh, and for your daily dose of depressing, the Alabama Governor is an ass.

These guys in Siberia are so ready for a mammoth (http://coldphoto.blogspot.com/2007/06/day-322-pleistocene-park.html). Basically, there are some people building a "Pleistocene Park" with a bunch of large land mammals in some preserve. Since they can't actually have a mammoth, one of the scientists there just drives a tank around and pulverizes trees to simulate the damage that mammoths would do to the landscape. These guys would be really stoked to have a mammoth. (Not that I think that would turn out well, but I bet they would take the mammoth if they had the choice!)

The problem is that elephants live in large groups. They *need* their complex social structure in order to thrive. We don't know about mammoths, but it's not all that unlikely that they, like elephants, aren't supposed to be solitary creatures.

In Prehistoric Park they got some elephants to keep Martha the Lonely Mammoth company.

Martha the Lonely Mammoth was my favourite character. ^_^
