Scientific American: Common-sensical, but true... I'd started noticing this about me when I was reading. When at work and being at the front desk, when I consciously think about what next I'm to say to a guest when checking them in, I tend to flop a little, whereas when I actually - and unfortunately quite uncommonly - "let myself go," everything just flows.
Weird, yet true.

Regenerating a Mammoth for $10 Million
NYTimes.com: Greatly fascinating, moderately scary at the extension of this research. They died for a reason, right?

The World's First Flying Saucer: Made Right Here on Earth
Scientific American: "A University of Florida researcher has plans on the drawing board for a saucer-shaped aircraft that turns the surrounding air into fuel."
This is a fascinating concept if they can make this work. I'd especially be keen on it if they can compact the design, put it in vehicles to feed off the carbon dioxide, methane and other gases we've added to our planet by our presence.
I mean, flight's all right, but ground transport is something we'd need to work on too, I think.
If not a transporter. :-)

Solar Tsunamis Move at Astronomical Speeds
Solar Tsunamis Move at Astronomical Speeds - Yahoo! News: "Images of a tsunami blasting its way through the sun's lower atmosphere have been taken for the first time."
Read it, and then the video is here.
I just love stories of human progress as far as new things accomplished. If we put our minds to it, get our physics in check and whatnot, we've got it licked...
So long as we're responsible.

Hey, Four-Eyes! You're No Geek!
"The popular notion that people who wear glasses are geeks or nerds doesn't hold up under scrutiny.
A new Australian study looked for an association between introversion (bashfulness or being self-absorbed) and people who are near-sighted, an eye condition that affects one in five people in the United States, according to ophthalmologist Arun Verma of the Daljit Singh Eye Hospital in India."

The sample size and judgment calls may be questionable, but it's a fun read anyway...
