Re: There is an elephant on the loo!
Mantis shrimps have the most complex eyes in the animal kingdom. They can see in 12 primary colors, four times as many as humans, and can also detect different kinds of light polarization. The shrimp's cell membranes are rolled into tubes, which researchers hope could be mimicked in the lab using liquid crystals. This would greatly increase the information obtained from a DVD sensor using such technology.

Tuna is at the top of the food chain and probably contains the most mercury per pound of any edible species.

China has 720 million cellular subscribers, that is more than that of the US and Europe combined. They are rolling out 3G mobile services nationwide, which should give their Government Internet Censors quite a workout.

King George III was one of the most insane kings in English history.
It came and went - he suffered from porphyria - he suffered from 5 bouts of it. So it goes.

A from will not quietly sit in a pot of water while it rises from room temp to boiling - it will try to escape as soon as it begins to get too hot.
