Giant Plant That Eats Rodents Discovered in Southeast Asia

A giant plant that can gobble up bugs and even rodents has been discovered in Southeast Asia.
The carnivorous plant (nepenthes attenboroughii) was found by researchers atop Mt. Victoria, a remote mountain in Palawan, Philippines. The research team, led by Stewart McPherson of Red Fern Natural History Productions, had learned of the plant in 2000 after a group of Christian missionaries stumbled upon it while trekking up a remote mountain and reported it to a local newspaper.
The discovery, announced last week, was detailed in the Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society.
This is cool I wonder if i can get a plant like this, lol
Wisconsin Construction Crew Uncovers Possible Native American Burial Ground
by xrammyx on Aug.05, 2009, under My World
Wisconsin construction crew reportedly uncovered human remains that may be nearly 800 years old.
Archaeologists said the bones, found along a highway, may be those of a Native American woman dating back to the year 1250, according to FOX 11.
The scientists believe the site may have been a burial ground and will continue digging for more remains, FOX 11 reported.
Construction on the property was postponed until the State Historical Society can thoroughly examine the findings, the station reported.

A Chameleon Sky
The sands of time are running out for the central star of this the Hourglass Nebula. With its nuclear fuel exhausted, this brief, spectacular, closing phase of a sun-like star's life occurs as its outer layers are ejected and its core becomes a cooling, fading white dwarf. In 1995, astronomers used the Hubble Space Telescope to make a series of images of planetary nebulae, including the one above. Here, delicate rings of colorful glowing gas (nitrogen-red, hydrogen-green, and oxygen-blue) outline the tenuous walls of the 'hourglass.' The unprecedented sharpness of Hubble's images revealed surprising details of the nebula ejection process and may resolve the outstanding mystery of the variety of complex shapes and symmetries of planetary nebulae.
