World Largest Clam
2008-03-01 16:16:00
The geoduck or gooyduck is the largest species of clams on the face of the earth. The clam itself is 15 to 20 cm long, which is pretty big but the really impressive part is its long siphon that often reaches one meter in length. it weighs between 0.5 and 1.5 kilograms, but there have been stories about 7.5 kg heavy gooyducks.The incredible aspect of the gooeyduck isn?t only limited to its size, but also to its lifespan. It has a life expectancy of 146 years, which makes it one of the longest-living organisms in the animal reign.As repulsive as they look (personal opinion) geoducks are a delicacy in China and Japa, where they are often eaten raw, sashimi style.

6 Bad Habits That May Be Good For You
2008-02-26 11:39:00
1 Picking your teeth in publicActually, this is extremely useful for your dental health. Helps to remove the food that may cause tooth decay if it stayed in or between your teeth.2 Nose pickingDoesn't have particular health benefits, besides probably removing some snot containing bacteria, but is very pleasant and relaxing.3 Mouth washing during mealWashing your mouth with your drink is one of the healthiest bad habits as it helps to wash out the food remains. It may be especially beneficial if you do it with green tea. Green tea kills the bacteria that cause dental plaques and bad breath and increases the acid resistance of tooth enamel.4 Head scratchingFor many people this is a "thought promotion process" habit. Also, as a possible alternative to scalp massage, it stimulates the scalp blood circulation, which is beneficial for hair follicles. Recent research in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology found that, although scratching an itch feels like a pretty primal activity, th...

scientists develop instructions to make a magic carpet
2007-12-20 23:11:00
Perfectly timed for pantomime season, a team of scientists has come up with instructions for how to make a flying carpet.The magical device may owe more to Walt Disney than to The Arabian Nights , but it is not pure fantasy, according to Lakshminarayanan Mahadevan of Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and his co-workers.The researchers have studied the aerodynamics of a flexible, rippling sheet moving through a fluid, and find that it should be possible to make one that will stay aloft in air.No such carpet is going to ferry people around, though.The researchers say that to stay afloat in air, a sheet measuring about 10 centimetres long and 0.1 millimetres thick would need to vibrate at about 10 hertz with an amplitude of about 0.25 millimetres.Making a heavier carpet "fly" is not forbidden by the laws of physics.But the researchers say that their "computations and scaling laws suggest it will remain in the magical, mystical and virtual realm", as the engine driving the...

Indian restaurant boasts graveyard seating
2007-12-12 09:43:00
In India, death is a part of life - and, at one restaurant in western India, a part of lunch. The bustling New Lucky Restaurant in Ahmadabad is famous for its milky tea, its buttery rolls, and the graves between the tables.It's a spot where old men page through newspapers and argue politics in the morning while young couples share candlelit meals and hold hands at night. That the candles sit atop graves only adds to the ambiance.Krishan Kutti Nair has helped run the restaurant built over a centuries-old Muslim cemetery for close to four decades, but he doesn't know who is buried in the cafe floor. Customers seem to like the graves, which resemble small cement coffins, and that's enough for him."The graveyard is good luck," Nair said one recent afternoon after the lunch rush. "Our business is better because of the graveyard."The graves are painted green, stand about shin high, and every day the manager decorates each of them with a single dried flower. They're scattered randomly ...

2007-12-08 21:32:00
A new species of giant spitting cobra, measuring nearly nine feet and possessing enough venom to kill at least 15 people, has been discovered in Kenya , a conservation group said on Friday.WildlifeDirect said the cobras were the world's largest and had been identified as unique. The species has been named Naja Ashei after James Ashe, who founded Bio-Ken snake farm on Kenya's tropical coast where the gigantic serpents are found."A new species of giant spitting cobra is exciting and reinforces the obvious -- that there have to be many other unreported species but hundreds are being lost as their habitats disappear under the continued mismanagement of our planet," said the group's chairman, Kenyan environmentalist Richard Leakey.Ashe, now deceased, was the first to catch a larger-than-normal spitting cobra in the 1960s and suggest it belonged to a different species.Bio-Ken director Royjan Taylor said the recognition of the new species was an opportunity to raise awareness about snake...
