POPS15 Answers to Creationist Nonsense (Please follow the link to this article and read it completely before you comment on it. Thanks) It is funny how religious people will demand proof of evolution while they have no proof nor will ever have proof of any aspect of their beliefs.

POPSTermites are actually social cockroaches: study DNA analysis reveals some unexpected relationships among animals, including this startling discovery: The order Isoptera is no more--termites are now more properly classified as members of Order Blattodea, along with the cockroaches. Remarkable creatures, all.

POPS15 Answers to Creationist Nonsense Next sentence in article: Some antievolutionists, such as Philip E. Johnson, a law professor at the University of California at Berkeley and author of Darwin on Trial, admit that they intend for intelligent-design theory to serve as a "wedge" for reopening science classrooms to discussions of God.

POPSTHE ANOMALIST I found this site while perusing lynn's links. please forgive typos and punvtuation as i am recovering from carpal tunnel surgery on lft hand early on Friday. I am rt handed but i have a left hand usually making 7 out of 10 key strokes. Hunt & peck is not easy for me and they still have to operate on rt hand. Please bear with me but I found this site to be extremely in my range of collecting curiosities and high weirdness as Kenneth Hite calls it and if you have never had the luxury you should take a look at his live journal site. http://princeofcairo.livejournal.com/ I gurantee you will come to love his wonderful take on all things conspiratorial, Fortean, high weirdness, and secret history. it fuels my Muse for days at a time. i really do wish i could have done the Anomalist justice but give it a look, you may be surprised!

POPSGlass Animals
Long overshadowed by their famed floral kin, some of the exquisite 19th century glass animals housed at Harvard's Museum of Comparative Zoology (MCZ) have finally hit the road for a Minnesota exhibit - the first time in Harvard's nearly 130-year ownership that the rare sculptures are known to have left Cambridge. The exhibit of 29 invertebrate models, dubbed "The Glass Sea Treasures of Harvard: The Age of Darwin," continues through next February at the Underwater Adventures Aquarium in Bloomington, Minn. At that time, the newly cleaned and restored creatures are expected to migrate eastward en masse for a possible exhibition on campus. Harvard's invertebrate models were crafted by a father-and-son team of German artisans, Leopold and Rudolf Blaschka, members of a family whose glassmaking secrets dated to the 15th century. Over five decades starting in 1886, the Blaschkas went on to craft the Harvard Museum of Natural History's renowned array of more than 3,000 glass flowers.
