Three "species" of fish actually one species!

Researchers believe they have solved the puzzle of three seemingly different fish species, one all males, one all females and one all juveniles. They're the same fish, and undergo remarkable changes as they mature.

"You can imagine it was a pretty exciting discovery," said G. David Johnson, an ichthyologist at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History. "The pieces kept falling into place."

"And it tells you how little we know about the deep sea," Johnson said in a telephone interview.

But supposedly we know a lot about the distant past.

A most facinating menu structure...

I may disagree with a lot that's at Slate.com, but the menu system for selecting articles is ingenious! I think the only drawback is that the menu selector boxes on the left are too short: another 25% to 50% taller would be better.

Wisdom increases with Age?

John Ray at Dissecting Leftism doubts it, attributing the increase of verbal skills through a person's 40's as the side effect of knowing new words.

This ignores the reasoning power latent behind words.

Crusader War College

There are too many bastards in the world for me to keep track of. In response to this, God has proposed to keep track of who is deserving of punishment in this life, and promises to page me when He needs me to take out specific individuals. Since I have reason to believe that my spiritual pager is more sensitive than 90% of those held by church leaders, and have noticed that God does not give any task to anyone without promising divine aid and power to carry it out, I find this a mutually satisfactory arrangement that permits me to place my attention on more important matters closer to hand, while retaining the pleasant knowledge that Divine Justice will have its way. Eventually.
