A Flock Of Giant Manta Rays
11/12/09 - Pretty Cool
“Gliding through the oceans like ghosts, these mysterious manta rays have been captured in unique footage filmed off the coast of Mozambique. Biologist Andrea Marshall is shown performing a ballet-like dance with the inquisitive giant fish, which she described as ‘the most beautiful underwater birds.’ The experienced diver has been based in the coastal African country since 2003. She spent last year swimming with the black-winged creatures alongside a film crew for a BBC documentary. Until recently it was thought there was only one species of manta ray, but Dr Marshall realised many of the rays – that can grow up to 23ft long – displayed different markings and behaviour. These ocean-faring rays did not stick to the shallow reefs like the others, but migrated 700miles to the Maldives, which is the longest migration known for a fish in the Indian ocean. The mantas were tracked by the team using a GPS system, which revealed they made their epic voyage in just 60 days.” w/ photos

Rings Found In 10 Tonnes Of Garbage
11/12/09 - Wacky News
“Garbage workers successfully sifted through ten tonnes of rubbish to find a wedding ring and an engagement ring accidentally thrown away by a New Jersey couple. Bridget Pericolo, 77, had placed the rings in a cup that her husband, Angelo, threw out with the rubbish before leaving for work, reports the Daily Record. When Mr Pericolo realised his mistake, he contacted the town’s sanitation supervisor, who suggested visiting the local dump when the garbage truck had finished its route. Later that day, supervisor Michael Brotons and sanitation workers Edgar Lopez and Joseph McGee dug through the refuse until they found the Pericolos’ bag of rubbish. Mr Brotons said: “It took more than 45 minutes of digging, but we found them. After ten to 11 tonnes of garbage, every black bag looks the same.” w/ photo
Top 10 Quacks In Medical History
11/12/09 - Top Lists
“The history of medicine is a noble one, with an ultimate goal of extending human life and easing human suffering. Unfortunately, medicine also has its share of charlatans, con-men, and incompetents whose greatest evil is to cast doubt on the benefits of any medicine in the minds of laymen. Merriam-Webster defines a “quack” as “a pretender to medical skill”. Presented here are some self-proclaimed, as well as licensed, “pretenders” who may have had the best of intentions, but certainly achieved the worst of results.” w/ photos
