Mammoths, which vanished some 10,000 years ago at the end of the last ice age, had been found before, but rarely in such good shape. To preserve their find, Buigues and his team dug a trench completely around it, freeing a 26-ton block of ice that contained the carcass. Last Sunday a helicopter lifted the block and flew it to a nearby cave, where the beast will be slowly thawed with a hair dryer...
...says Franca Alphin, administrative director of the Duke University Diet and Fitness Center. "Those foods are so beneficial. It's really frustrating." The low-carb diets, they insist, eventually fail.

Crouch believes a narrative pivoting on predictions from the books of Daniel and Revelation is especially charming to literal-minded Christians. "The biblically based story points are what they get off on," he says...
...around in a tuxedo and plastic lei, a conical hat affixed to your head with an elastic chin strap, washing down fish eggs with carbonated white wine, as some glorified Bar Mitzvah band plays Public Enemy's Don't Believe the Hype, has always seemed to me a pretty lame way to spend the night...
