Kid destroys $15,000 LEGO sculpture an hour after new exhibit opens

It so happened that it was the first day of the exhibition and the display had been open to the public for no more t

Nature – finally “finds” cause of Antarctic pause, will last centuries, tosses “global warming” out
Nature ties itself in knots here, and reveals a lot more than they probably meant too, but mostly about themselves rather than about Antarctica. If it’s correct, the implications from this study are pretty big, not that the study will tell you that. The term “Global warming” is tossed under a bus, along with almost all the Antarctic man-made scares of the last two decades. The political nature of

Keith Olbermann Former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann excoriated the media Wednesday in a guest column at The Hollywood Reporter for refusing to treat Donald Trump with the disdain he has both earned and deserves.

New Cretaceous fossils shed light on the early evolution of ants
Ants comprise one lineage of the triumvirate of eusocial insects and experienced their early diversification within the Cretaceous. The success of ants is generally attributed to their remarkable social behavior. Recent studies suggest that the early branching lineages of extant ants formed small colonies of either subterranean or epigeic, solitary specialist predators.

Continuing… "...Serbs in the northern part of the country were demanding some form of local autonomy to stave off violent attacks by Kosovar ultra-nationalists." Long story short, Kosovo and Serbia were abutting provinces in the former Yugoslavia, and the former was attacking the latter ...supported by Hillary. Flash back to early 2001.

Hudson’s accurate description of TTIP shows that politically powerful corporations have gained the power in Western “democracies” to sacrifice the welfare of all populations to corporate greed for profit regardless of the cost to peoples, countries, and societies."
