POPSDoomsday - The Mayan Prophesy December 21st, 2012. I probably won't be home that day, but I'll catch it later on youtube, I reckon. Jokes aside, they say the Mayan (or Atzec) calender is the most accurate ever made. Their doomsday is not so much about the end of time, but of the beginning or dawn of a new age of enlightenment. I think it's worth a gander. ;) This video explains the Mayan calender pretty well. Part one of three; The Mayan Calender Unveiled

POPSDisappearance of Bees Finally Solved ? I really hope that this will start to clear up the mystery of the disappearing honeybees. They are an integral part of our harvest cycle and its really important we find out why the colonies are collapsing.

POPSAmazing Close Up Views Of Tornados This one is for my mom. She absolutely is terrified and fascinated by tornadoes she is absolutely going to love these photos. They are just fantastic. Mother Nature will never cease to be an amazing and awe inspiring joy to watch. While I will never feel anything but sympathy for the terror and destruction that these storms leave in their path from these photos I can see the reason why my mother is glued to the TV anytime live video of these monsters comes up. Enjoy, I know my mom will ;)

POPSKindness Does Extend Beyond Us Just an interesting little study about a debate that I am sure will not rest here. I have worked with chimps in the past and I do not find it very surprising that chimps would be so giving to unrelated members of their species. But as it usually is in science, what you feel is not always what you find. Let the debates continue.

POPSCockroaches Are Not Morning People Just could not help clipping this seemingly useless piece of information. I wonder how much money was allocated for this study? Another waste of tax dollars perhaps?

POPSResearch + Details = The Devil ? This article really does not surprise me. I work in the research world and it's very hard to get people to do clean work. You can trust people with themselves only so far. After that you take your chances. Unfortunately researches are often so focused on their own ideas that they sacrifice good methods for their own arrogance. I will say that while sloppy methods are a problem I don't think that most published findings are wrong, maybe a little off, but not wrong. Of course this might depend on what field of research they are specifically talking about.

POPSTwins: Double The Trouble? I am a little wary of this study. There are many different and varied reasons why a woman with a twin would produce less children, and get married less often despite testosterone levels. Still it's interesting stuff.
