Terminator IV is coming out and with a bang…the bang being an explosive combo of Christian Bale and McG. But am I seeing the rise of the machines here? I just read in Wired that “Adam,” a robot capable of carrying out the entire scientific process (formulating hypotheses, designing and running experiments, analyzing data, and deciding which experiments to run next) exists. Thinking bots! Should we start thinking about REAL terminators chasing us…just a thought!

    Alien-seeking researchers have designed a new simple code for sending messages into space. To a reasonably clever alien with math skills and a bit of astronomical training, the messages should be easy to decipher.

    A new species of chameleon, measuring just 6 inches from snout to tail, has been discovered in east Tanzania’s mountains. Differentiated from other species by the pattern of scales on its head and the flat shape of its nose appendage, it was first spotted while being eaten by a tree snake.

  • Sushi DNA Tests Reveal Fraud November 20, 2009
    A biologist walks into a sushi bar and orders some tuna. What does he get? Escolar, a nasty fish with buttery flesh that can cause bizarre episodes of diarrhea, accompanied by a waxy intestinal discharge. It’s not a joke. It happened five times to the same scientists during a brief research project. The results of that [...]
