Stuff below the fold

TehranLive  is back on line and has some neat photos...just go over and check it out.
my favorite? The series of photos showing a rock strewn field that keeps getting closer and closer to one rock...

Ancient Standard has an article on the history of honey: which has been used since at least the mesolithic era.

The IceCube research station in Antarctica is looking for neutrinos.

the "boy are they strict" headline of the day:

Beware the Kung fu Cuy...

It's not just wind turbins that kill birds (440 000 last year in the US)

6.8 million birds die from those communication towers ...blinking red lights on the towers would halve that risk.

In contrast, 500 million birds are killed by your kitty cat every year...and no, declawing doesn't stop them from catching birds..
