What a great resource!
Nice lil ole round up here.
You know .... reading your old post about "Do social insect's have mind's?" (first time I seen it) ... that is something that I wondered for long as well. I just thought it was fasicinating how nature worked together at the beginning as well ...I mean ... everyone had a ... well ... daily job I reckon, and still do, just as we do, before all the animal's walked the earth for instance (forget the name of the period)... when bee's done their job's with plant's and the wind's spreading pollen ... I reckon life's earliest agricultural chore's.
Wow! What a goddamn piece from i09 on the liquid diamond of Neptune, I am refering to the beauty of something as such though, I can only imagine what is out in this universe as well, that has formed over a few billion year's that we havent even come close to seeing yet ... the futher we move ahead with our tech's ... what a treat we will be in for too! But just imagine something like that ... that would be enough for Halliburton to drop every damn reconstruction project that have going on, on earth!
Those photo's and piece from Mendip was one Hell of a sight as well ... I have lived in cold, icy climate's too, not just Texas, and I have never seen anything like that. I have seen some weird ice, like when hunting in the wood's, like between Toronto and Buffalo, but nothing like that!
Termite's of Sin wave photo's , really kick ass!
Mr.S.E.Bastard's piece on "Amazing we've survived as a species" was cool .... I actually alway's looked at that as being one of the reason's we survived, what I mean is ... we have throughout our modern evolution have taken some really chancy risk's to learn and evolve as well, as a species. "The Mind is a terrible thing to Taste" (Al Jourgensen) :)
Born right the first time ... I seen bumper sticker's around town that say that while in traffic!
Real nice piece also from Science Daily on human's causing the demise of Australia's Megafauna!
Telegraph.UK on giant cattle ... "I herd that!" ... but check this out Guy ... what is weird here in North Central Texas .... is not the cattle .... but all the prehistoric huge sea creature's ( more like monster's ) that they been diggin up, it's like this whole place was a goddamn sea at once ... damn what I would give to be able to go back in time to see some of this shit that was once on earth!
Later Guy ..........
Bigfoot is alive & well in Oregon!
Dang! I wish we hadn't dropped that column...it was always entertaining when the Bigfoot lady heard of a new siting.
Like she said,"It's Only a Matter of time." :)
Wasn't it she who wrote that letter in the week-before-last issue trying to get re-instated?
Maybe you could send her that link -- a video of mostly the grass the guy is running through, plus a few seconds of a man in a bigfoot suit -- no doubt she'd find it fascinating.
RC: "I herd that!"
Heh.
it's like this whole place was a goddamn sea at once
It was, between 70 and 85 million years ago -- remember that scan I sent you about the Niobrara chalk.....
Yes I remember that and still have it. But before you sent that which wasnt long ago I didnt know that ... so it was a really fun piece for me to read!
Thanx............
