Frontiers of Science

In honor of PZ Myers' birthday, I think we should all post our observations on science news today. Here's mine.

This TV series sounds cool; I hope it's shown in the US soon.

I'm very happy Snopes has an RSS feed; they've just debunked the "blondes will be extinct in less than 200 years" bit that's been floating about again.

Morgaine found an interesting National Geographic article wherein anthropologist Robert Sussman concludes that prehistoric humans were not in fact warlike, according to the fossil record.

Of course by now everyone's heard of the discovery of what appears to be water on one of Saturn's moons, Enceladus.

Lastly, the NYSE is eating its own young... oh sorry, that's not science, is it?
