The Giant Swarm

“Pass the fly spray! Let’s hope these brave fishermen brought something to cover their mouths as they sailed through a giant swarm of midges. The insects set out for their annual mating dance above Lake Malawi, the third largest freshwater lake in Africa. But the amorous flies caused a nuisance for fishermen sailing the lake, who were caught up in the middle of the love-fest.” w/ photos

Evidence Of Dasani On Mars

“The Coca-Cola-sponsored Real Rover has discovered evidence that the surface of Mars was once partially covered by free-flowing Dasani, scientists at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory announced Monday. The Real Rover’s instruments found signs that cool, refreshing Dasani once drenched the surface of the Red Planet,” said Dr. Marvin Chen, NASA space-science administrator and temporary liaison to Coca-Cola. “This discovery is so exciting, because it indicates that the Red Planet may have once hosted a healthy, active, fun-filled microscopic life. You see, Dasani would have been as vital to Martian lifeforms as it is to their terrestrial counterparts.” w/ photos

Top 21 Creative Modern Rugs

“There has never been anything simple about rugs. Once the highest sign of ostentation and one of the standard units of international trade, the status of rugs has been hit hard in the age of uncritical mass-production – little more than something to wipe your feet on. But now? From relaxing rolling terrain to monsters with too many teeth, from snowdrifts to roadkill (and fried eggs on top), rugs and mat designs are enjoying the same creative comeback as any other item of furniture. Which of these 21 examples would floor you?” w/ photos
