POPSRising ocean acidity slows marine fertilisation: study It doesn't matter if you call it global warming (Or global weirding as Bear suggested, I think). It doesn't matter if it was caused by us or not. The ocean are dying. The land is dying or changing. And we say it is bad to mine shale oil, but the oil companies don't give a shit about anything but the dollar. It is time to do. Time to convince politicians that the abusers have to be stopped.

POPSNancy Pelosi and Neville Chamberlain This new Republican Party is an extremely dangerous group of sociopaths that will belittle, and if possible destroy, every humanitarian and virtuous plan that comes along simply because it diverts funds from their Nazi mentality of world authority by military might.

POPSNew Research On Octopuses Sheds Light On Memory It is not completely understood how these two systems are interconnected, if at all. However, the organization in the octopus demonstrates a sophistication that was not described yet in other animals. In the octopus, the short-term and long-term systems are working in parallel, but not independently. This is so because the long-term memory area -- in addition to its capacity to store long-term memories -- also regulates the rate at which the short-term memory system acquires short-term memories. This regulatory mechanism is probably useful in cases where faster learning is significant for the octopus' survival in emergency or risky situations.

POPSWeird sex: Giant squid But males get round their inferior size by being endowed with a particularly long penis, which means they can inject the female without having to get too close to her chomping beak. The male's sexual organ is actually a bit like a high-pressure fire hose and is normally nearly as long as his body - excluding legs and head. "But having such a big penis does have one drawback: it seems that co-ordinating eight legs, two feeding tentacles and a huge penis, whilst fending off an irate female, is a bit too much to ask, and one of the two males stranded on the Spanish coast had accidentally injected himself with sperm packages in the legs and body. And this does not seem to have been an isolated incident since two of the eight males that had stranded in the north-east Atlantic before had also accidentally inseminated themselves

POPSSome examples of 41400 Threatened species (IUCN red list) The list is growing every year! This year (2007) it's 41400 different species of animals and plants. The IUCN claims extinction will threat 1/4 of mammals, 1/8 of birds and even 70% of plants. Most of the species are endangered because of human activity. For example banggain's cardinal fishes are being captured 900 000 per year for aquaruims.
