...pairs. In these situations, explains Redouan Bshary of the Université de Neuchâtel in Switzerland - one of the authors of a new study in the journal Science, the fish face a dilemma: "Theoretically, the best idea would be to bite your client right away before your partner does, because if the client swims away, you get the benefits of the tasty bite, but the costs are shared." But the fish tend to behave themselves...
...effort to be likable in Cleaving, a ghastly work of revelation without enough self-reflection. Soon after wrapping up Julie & Julia, Powell began cheating on the kindly Eric, that husband who dutifully ate her butter-soaked Julia Child meals for a year.

Ritchie's Holmes is smart, to be sure, as he's been in dozens of movies and television series, but his legendary embarrassment of mental riches isn't going to embarrass anyone. In this movie, his ability to throw a right hook or dodge a flying fist matters just as much as his brain. Our new Holmes fights bare...
