Waxing enthusiastic?
I've always thought of ear wax as something one didn't mention in polite society. It seems I was wrong - at least, as far as whales are concerned. Whale earwax forms like yours does: A gland secretes oily gunk into the ear canal, which hardens and accumulates into a solid, tapering plug. In the largest whales, like blues, a plug can grow up to 10 inches long, and looks like a cross between a goat’s horn and the world’s nastiest candle. Fin whale wax is firmer than blue whale wax, bowhead whale wax is softer and almost liquid, and sei whale wax is dark and brittle. But regardless of... more »

How the U.S. Navy's Battleships Got Revenge for Pearl Harbor
*Warfare History Network* *Security, Asia* The Battle of Surigao Strait was a major portion of the titanic Battle of Leyte Gulf, the largest and last major naval battle ever fought, an epic engagement that saw the use of every type of naval warfare except the mine. *The Japanese underestimated American power and resilience, as they had all through the war, and overestimated their own resolve.

With lasers, you’re only limited by how much power you can generate.
