Oy! You think your mom is bad, you should see how troublesome some moms can be [Flash required, not for the Jewish-humor-impaired].

Coelacanths Happen
Mar. 10th, 2006 11:18 pmVoila! Species thought extinct for 11 million years rediscovered in Laos.
This is awesome. As cool as the ivory-billed woodpecker rediscovery, but with lots of zeros at the end :-)
In other science news today, NASA succeeded in placing the Mars Reconnaisance Orbiter into orbit around Mars. The tension during the 15 or 20 minutes it was behind Mars and out of contact must have been awesome -- and the joy, when it reported back and was found to have functioned flawlessly, even greater. Congratulations, NASA -- now, let's get humans back into space and settled out there permanently. (Me, first, of course! :-)
And, back at home, Pale Male and Lola were spotted returning to their preferred nesting site. It's believed that there will be offspring in the near future. Congrats, Mom and Pop!
