...million NASA probe thinks it has found between 10 and 100 million tons of the stuff, buried in polar craters -- enough to fill a lake two miles square and 35 feet deep. That kind of quantity, presumably deposited by comets and asteroids, could help us build oxygen-breathing lunar colonies and interplanetary refueling stations -- in the long...
When the Feds nabbed Larry Wayne Harris and friend for allegedly carrying around enough anthrax to wipe out Las Vegas, CP's first thoughts were for safe havens. Would mere anthrax spores be able to permeate the casinos, those air-conditioned, oxygen-fed castles which house our nation's desperate souls? Perhaps not. Clearly, the message is: don't ever stop gambling...
...outlet for stress, which is something many Harvard students could certainly use. Ernetta explains that stress triggers a process that can lead to a cycle of pain and muscle spasm. Stress releases endocrines into the system, and if an individual does not return to homeostasis, muscles remain contracted and oxygen deprivation occurs. This deprivation hurts. Too bad Ernetta doesn't teach...
Corals, it turns out, are like miniature thermometers and rain gauges. When water temperatures rise, these small creatures incorporate less strontium into their skeletons than they do under cooler conditions. Their oxygen content, meanwhile, records salinity swings, which in turn can be used to estimate rainfall. And warm temperatures and heavy rainfall--here, at least--are the telltale markers of El Nino...
