Scientists Say Time is Slowing Down
Spanish scientists have come up with a new hypothesis on to explain the rate of expansion of the universe: time is - literally - slowing down! A decade ago, astronomers noticed that distant supernovae - exploding stars on the very fringes of the universe - seemed to be moving faster than those nearer to the centre,

Not who I expected to see. I've got a couple of cousins they should have called first.
Self-Destructing Palm Tree Flowers Every 100 Years, Then Die
Botanists have discovered a new species of self-destructing palm tree that flowers only once every 100 years and then dies! "It's spectacular. It does not flower for maybe 100 years and when it's like this it can be mistaken for other types of palm," said Mijoro Rakotoarinivo, who works for the London botanical gardens in Madagascar.
How did polar dinosaurs survive months of cold and dark?
Snow and ice are rare in this part of Australia today. But evidence from Flat Rocks and other nearby sites confirms that a little over 100 million years ago, "it was bloody cold around here," as Rich puts it. Though about a third of Australia now lies within the tropics, back then the continent sat about 2,000 miles south of its current position
