Stale Link Dump

Again, the fridge where I keep articles to ripen is starting to bulge; time to dump a bunch of them and start fresh:

Malawi Outlaws Farting - If farting is outlawed only outlaws will fart.

Did Some Dinosaurs Outlive the Asteroid Strike -  Some scientists think they have found dinosaur fossils from past the K-T boundry.

The Fish with No Stomach - The needlefish, a common fish, is so skinny it doesn't bother with one.

Does College Make You Smarter? - Of course not, but you might be able to make yourself more intelligent by going to college.

Modern Man May Have Left Africa Earlier Than Thought - Don't have much to say about this one.  It's interesting, but doesn't overturn my world view.


Was Reynard, not Spot, Mans First Best Friend? - A fossil fox, likely a pet, found buried with caveman, predating domestication of dogs.

Why are Seniors Bad Drivers? - Because they pay attention to everything.

There's a Reason for the Phrase "Agile as a Goat" - If you haven't seen these goats grazing calmly on the nearly vertical face of a dam, you have to.

Did That Dinosaur Just Give You the Finger? - Yep, 'cause it only has one to give.

A ShamWow for Oil Spills? - This looks promising.  I can see lots of uses for this beyond oil spills.

One of Saturn's Moons May Have a Breathable Atmosphere - But it would still be kind of cold.

The Little Blind Snake that Time Forgot - A small island hopping snake traced from it origins in Gondwanaland.

Did Burning Coal Almost Kill the Earth? - Scientists link global coal fires, ignited by volcanism, with the world's greatest mass extinction.

An Idiot Abroad - He's probably an idiot where ever he is.

Well, that made a little space - I might just have to get rid of this stuff more often just to keep up.
