Rich Fasi was boating in West Grand Traverse Bay, Lake Michigan near Traverse City, Michigan on Wednesday. He saw some tangled fishing equipment floating by and started pulling it from the water: “I could see a fish down there about three feet down, but the last thing I expected was a shark on the end,” Fasi said. There aren’t any witnesses, but Fasi, of Traverse City, said he pulled the roughly 2-foot shark from the ...

Here’s something that man, in thousands of years of farming and animal husbandry, has never noticed before - but thanks to Google Earth - now know: cows tend to face in the north-south direction of the Earth’s magnetic lines! Wind and time of day did not offer better explanations for why 8,510 cattle in 308 locations around the world would mostly face north-south.

With all the attention to global warming, are we actually preparing for the right doomsday scenario? Perhaps not, according to physicist Phil Chapman, who thinks that another Ice Age is coming: The reason this matters is that there is a close correlation between variations in the sunspot cycle and Earth’s climate. The previous time a cycle was delayed like this was in the Dalton Minimum, an especially cold period that lasted several decades from 1790. ...

During the Cold War, the Unites States and the Soviet Union raced to see who would reach the moon first. But they also competed going the other way -drilling down through the earth. Both countries wanted to bore all the way through the Earth’s crust to reach the mantle. The Soviets went down seven miles, and dug the earth’s deepest hole. At the Kola Institute, pictured, the Russians drilled for more than 15 years to ...

Scientists at Brock University, Ontario, Canada, has discovered a link between aggression and men’s facial structure: men with round faces tend to be more aggressive! The male sex hormone testosterone makes faces more circular and now scientists have studied whether this characteristic is also linked to behaviour. A Canadian team studied 90 ice hockey players and found the rounder the face, the more aggressive the players. Link
