Something that I noted two weeks ago...

Algaediesel?
whoa, partner, there's diesel in them thair ponds.
(Headsup FREEREPUBLIC)

Witches stealing men's potency...the press has a field day ridiculing these primitive people, but as the link explains, the basis is an even more sinister practice: Killing for body parts.

When I lived in Liberia, they'd find bodies with parts missing, and everyone knew that someone was building a store, and that the body parts would be placed in the foundations.

Growing heart cells from skin. Now the next step: getting them into a live heart and patching the damaged areas.
to grow a new heart, it will take a lot more: they are working with "Scaffolds" to position the cells in the right shape, but what about the electrical cells and the blood vessels?

Mugabe accepts defeat.

Congratulations President Tsvangarai...
