Did you know, that place Kasistan...that place where Boret made his first spoof movie from. Well they use coffee beans for readings now, but used to use...get this...sheep dung. I shit you not. I got that out of the Element Encyclopedia of Ghosts and Hauntings Oh it gets better awhile back I posted a link to a site that sells dung amulets now this <H1 id=yn-story-title class=hd>Huge Fossilized Dung Reveals a Hidden Ancient Ecosystem livescience.com – Fri Jul 17, 4:20 pm ET</H1>The world might be knee-deep in cow patties and other animal waste today were it not for dung beetles. Dung beetles roll the waste of large animals into tiny balls that they bury underground to snack on later. Burying the dung fertilizes the soil and reduces disease, but the benefits don't stop there. A new study of 30 million-year-old fossilized mega-dung balls, as big as three inches (seven centimeters) in diameter and produced from the dung of extinct giant South American mammals, reveals that the dung was also a food source for a number of insects that would steal a bite while the dung beetles weren't looking. "Traces [in the fossilized dung] record the behavior of animals actively stealing the food resources set aside by the dung beetles," said Victoria Sanchez, a graduate student at the Museum of Natural Sciences in Buenos Aires and a co-author on the study. "The shapes and sizes of these fossilized burrows and borings in the dung balls indicate that other beetles, flies and earthworms were the culprits. Although none of these animals are preserved in these rocks, the fossil dung balls preserve in amazing detail a whole dung-based ecosystem." About 30 million years ago, South America was home to giant extinct herbivores that produced mega-sized dung. Paleontologists have dug up evidence of bone-covered armadillos the size of small cars, ground sloths nearly 20 feet tall (6 meters tall) and elephant-sized hoofed mammals. Although the dung beetles themselves did not fossilize, the results of their work are preserved as fossil dung balls, some more than 40 million years old and as large as tennis balls, the researchers said. The study is detailed in the July issue of the journal Palaeontology.

Fed up. I wish I wasn't female. We get sick easier, handle stress worse (according to online studies) I work harder get paid less and get to do most of the chores when I get home. Anyone need a dirty job done or need someone to be the hard ass they call me so I look like the bad guy just trying to do the right thing. Found a study that says more women are turning to the sex industry to make ends meet...then they get picked on. You can't win. Double standards... I shouldn't have gone looking for studies to support my neg veiw today cause boy I sure found them. Wont do that again.

Primates In The News <P class=b>Primates — and strange facsimiles thereof — have been much in the news. Here are three cases of the animals' unusual behavior or appearance. Self-Medicating Orangutans <P class=b>Orangutans have now been discovered to use drugs — of their own manufacture. Helen Morrogh-Bernard, a primatologist of Cambridge University, watched four Bornean orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus) making a "soothing balm" that they applied to themselves to relieve their aches and pains. She observed them doing this in Central Kalimantan's Sabangau Peat Swamp Forest. Morrogh-Bernard first observed the behavior in 2005, when she came upon an adult female orangutan picking leaves (of the genus Commelina), chewing them, and with saliva creating a lather. She spread this on the back of her left arm. Since then, Morrogh-Bernard has observed three others of the species using the technique, and has published her results in the International Journal of Primatology. Humans are known to make the same lather the same way. It is not yet known which primate was the first to come up with the balm.

Nothing. I can usually tell if its going to be one of 'those' days within the first 15 min. I get up and stub my toe, my coffee maker explodes...you get the drift. If its safe its always good. If not I usually have to venture out anyway... -

A New York City teenager says she was text messaging while walking down the street — andthe next second she was down a manhole.Alexa Longueira was walking down a Staten Island block and was getting ready to text message when she fell into an open sewer manhole, MyFOX NY reports. VIDEO: Longueira Describes Falling Down a Manhole Longueira suffered mild cuts and bruises and is expected to recover. The teen's mother says workers told her they left the manhole open and unattended for just seconds while they went to fetch some cones from their truck. The Department of Environmental Protection says it is investigating. "DEP is conducting a full investigation of what happened during a manhole incident on Victory Boulevard where workers were flushing a high-pressure sewer on Wednesday evening," said Mercedes Padilla, of the DEP. "We regret that this happened and wish the young woman a speedy recovery." The Longueira family says they plan on filing a lawsuit.
