Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to others*:
Finances: Apparently, some Amazon third-party sellers are
Health: It shouldn't surprise anyone that the US has the worst healthcare among the top 10 industrialized nations. (Report in Relevant, Report in Gizmodo)
History: Gizmodo reports on the first known coins, which were made in China about 2600 years ago.
Humor: (or something) Gizmodo reports on a dishwasher than doesn't need to be directly attached to the plumbing.
Science: Gizmodo reports that birds sometimes pluck hair from animals and use it in nest-building.
Gizmodo also reports that giraffes have an elaborate social structure, on a par with those of elephants and chimpanzees.
Gizmodo tells us that methane is a big contributor to global climate change.
The Scientist reports that scientists have been able to send mouse sperm by regular mail. Such sperm were able to fertilize mouse eggs.
The Scientist also reports that many species of animals (including humans) have genes from species that are now extinct. Examples include dogs and pigs.
The graphic used in these posts is from NASA, hence, it is free to use like this.
