    Florida alligator weighing over 900 pounds could have been 90 years old when caught

    Sadly, it's VERY obvious that most who dislike removing the giant from the ecosystem know nothing about the effect it could have on other animal, bird and fish populations!! Hunting has a scientific reason!! Also, from the article, I'm very certain that this gator was killed BEFORE it was...

    New map of the universe's matter reveals a possible hole in our understanding of the cosmos

    Detecting life on Mars may be 'impossible' with current NASA rovers, new study warns

    Radioactive capsule found in Western Australia after frantic search

    Tiny capsules like this were used by Saddam Hussein, and perhaps others, as "lightening rods"; mounted on very tall pillars, they emitted a collumated, ionized beam into the sky above to ground the atmospheric charges. Once Saddam was gone, some Iraqi men tore the pillars down for scrap sales...
