Scientists find and kill the worlds oldest living animal

Scientists discovered a clam that they estimated to be about 405 to 410 years old, and then it died.

“Its death is an unfortunate aspect of this work, but we hope to derive lots of information from it,” postdoctoral scientist Al Wanamaker told London’s Guardian newspaper. “For our work, it’s a bonus, but it wasn’t good for this particular animal.”

Texas Chupacabra is Just a Coyote

Apparently the recently discovered chupacabra of Texas is just a Coyote.

The results are in: The ugly, big-eared animal found this summer in southern Texas is not the mythical, bloodsucking chupacabra. It’s just a plain old coyote.

Biologists at Texas State University announced Thursday night they had identified the hairless doglike creature.

The pictures definitely don’t look like pictures of a Coyote. They are saying that skin samples have been taken to be used in an attempt to figure out why the thing was hairless.

The human race is going to split into two species?

According to these scientists, yes:

The human race will one day split into two separate species, an attractive, intelligent ruling elite and an underclass of dim-witted, ugly goblin-like creatures, according to a top scientist.

100,000 years into the future, sexual selection could mean that two distinct breeds of human will have developed.

The alarming prediction comes from evolutionary theorist Oliver Curry from the London School of Economics, who says that the human race will have reached its physical peak by the year 3000.

The article draws strange parallels to The Time Machine, for good reason I guess. Read the rest here.

NASA is once again searching for files on the Kecksburg Incident

In a situation that UFO enthusiasts refuse to let die (with good reason):

Eyewitnesses claim that something moved across the sky and crashed in the woods about 40 miles southeast of Pittsburgh in December 1965. Traffic was tied up in the area and curiosity seekers were kept away by soldiers. After a search, the Air Force said the likely explanation was a meteor, but nothing was found.

NASA is being forced to dig up more documents regarding this incident, better known as the Kecksburg Incident. Read the article here.
