Matt Ridley: When ideas have sex

Turns out we're even less important in the time scale...

"Scientists have in the past estimated that the Earth's development, a process known as accretion where gas, dust and other material clumped together to form the planet, happened over just 30 million years. 

But the new research suggests this process may have taken up to 100 million years – more than three times longer than previous estimates."
 

Craziest shit ever...

This parasite enters through the gills, and then attaches itself at the base of the spotted rose snapper’s (Lutjanus guttatus) tongue. It extracts blood through the claws on its front, causing the tongue to atrophy from lack of blood. The parasite then replaces the fish’s tongue by attaching its own body to the muscles of the tongue stub. The fish is able to use the parasite just like a normal tongue. It appears that the parasite does not cause any other damage to the host fish.

Badass

Tom Wolfe and Kurt Vonnegut...

Best movie ever...
