so a bunch of russian scientists have drilled into a vast underwater lake that has been sealed under four kilometers of ice for the past 20 million years. they expect to find forms of life that science knows completely nothing about. so i suppose no one knows what the new germs are going to do to our bodies. don't these guys read science fiction at all?

The tarsier, a small primate best known for its bulging eyes and quiet demeanor, has a secret: It's actually incredibly loud, particularly if you're a dolphin. Until recently, this fact was a mystery to humans because the tarsier has an ultrasonic scream, inaudible to human ears. Texas A&M anthropologist Sharon Gursky-Doyen stumbled across the find when she noticed that when the tarsiers opened their mouths to speak, she wasn't hearing anything. "She had the foresight to get hold of a bat detector, and she was able to get that vocalization on a recording," Ramsier said. The tarsiers now find themselves in an exclusive club in the animal kingdom. Bats, dolphins and whales are the best-known practitioners of ultrasonic communication, but some cats also use the high-frequency method to communicate with their baby kittens . via

Anderson of Big Spring, Tennessee, wrote to his former slave, Jourdan Anderson, and requested that he come back to work on his farm. Jourdan — who, since being emancipated , had moved to Ohio, found paid work, and was now supporting his family — responded spectacularly by way of the letter seen below (a letter which, according to newspapers at the time , he dictated).   Rather than quote the numerous highlights in this letter, I'll simply leave you to enjoy it. Do make sure you read to the end. read the full letter here .
