How To Grow Human Limbs

“Amputees could regenerate limbs and organs thanks to scientists who have come close to discovering how salamanders grow back lost legs. The amphibians seem to form limbs from cells that partly remember how to make bone, muscle, or nerve tissue, researchers have found. But exactly how the Mexican salamanders – called ‘axolotls’ or ‘water monsters’ – do this is still a mystery, according to a report in the journal Nature. ‘How this is achieved in the salamander and why it does not occur in mammals remains an important question,’ Elly Tanaka of the Centre for Regenerative Therapies in Dresden, Germany, and colleagues reported.
‘It gives you more hope for being able to someday regenerate individual tissues in people,’ Malcolm Maden of the University of Florida, who worked on the study, said in a statement. ‘If you can understand how they regenerate, then you ought to be able to understand why mammals don’t regenerate.” w/ photo

Michael Jackson & Billy Mays Compared

“As everyone is aware by now we lost both Michael Jackson and Billy Mays within days of one another this past week. The wake of this double tragedy has pointed to corellations between the two men that we would not have noticed otherwise. Take a look, if you will, at the side-by-side similarities below and let us know whether these are mere coincidence or if Michael Jackson and Billy Mays are intertwined on a cosmic level.” w/ photos

298 Condiments From Around The World

“A condiment is a relish, sauce, or seasoning added to food to impart a particular flavour or to complement the dish. Often pungent in flavour and therefore added in fairly small quantities, popular condiments include salt, pepper, ketchup, mustard, olive oil, and vinegar. There are some overlaps between condiments and seasonings. [Here] are condiments from around the world, including some brand names as well.” w/ photos

Things That Best Friends Just Have To Do

“Being someone’s best friend is a lot like watching the movie Wild Things: it’s a lot of hard work, and you’re probably going to see some gratuitous cock at some point, but if you can tolerate the pain and suffering, the rewards can be tremendous. There are a lot of obligations and responsibilities that come with the title of “Best Friend”, but you’ll get it all back in return. Here are a few things that you’re definitely going to have to do for your best friend at some point.” w/ photos

You Smell Terrified

“The smell of fear really does exist – and it may be catching, researchers say. A study has shown that we can subconsciously detect when others are scared simply from the chemicals released from their skin. Scientists who made the discovery believe the signals can spread a ripple of fear through a group. The findings add to the growing evidence that our sense of smell is far more sophisticated that many of us realise – and that humans can detect and react to pheromones released by others.” w/ photos

The Shroud Of Turin Is Leonardo Da Vinci

“He was the ultimate Renaissance man – studying anatomy, designing a rudimentary helicopter and creating some of the most admired paintings of the age. But could Leonardo da Vinci also have perpetrated history’s greatest art forgery? That’s the suggestion of one expert, who claims that Leonardo was responsible for faking the Turin Shroud. The relic has inspired generations of pilgrims who have flocked to see what they believe is the face of the crucified Jesus. But it has also provoked bitter controversy after scientists carbon-dated it to the Middle Ages. Now an American artist has entered the fray, putting forward her own theory about its origin.” w/ photos

Why Are There 60 Minutes In An Hour?

“We are all familiar with dividing our days into 24 hours and our hours into 60 minutes. But why do we use these particular units for measuring time?… It’s time to find out?”

Whales Are People

“As the annual International Whaling Commission meeting stumbles to a close, unable to negotiate a compromise between whaling opponents and people who’ve killed more than 40,000 whales since 1985, scientists say these aquatic mammals are more than mere animals. They might even deserve to be considered people. Not human people, but as occupying a similar range on the spectrum as the great apes, for whom the idea of personhood has moved from preposterous to possible. Chimpanzees, gorillas and bonobos possess self-awareness, feelings and high-level cognitive powers. According to a steadily gathering body of research, so do whales and dolphins. In fact, their capacities could be even more ancient than our own, dating to an evolutionary explosion in brain size that took place millions of years before the last common ancestor of the great apes existed.” w/ photos
