Once upon a time, they rules the water.  In fact, they were the only creatures that struck fear in the heart of dinosaurs.  They’re also still swimming around the earth today.  They’re crocodiles, and there was a period of history that was When Crocs Ate Dinosaurs.  It’s all part of National Geographic Channel’s Expedition Week!   If you’d like to find out more about the newly-discovered varieties of extinct crocs, check out Dark Roasted Blend for a great image gallery.

Maybe it’s because I’ve seen too many bad movies, but I’m a huge fan of ancient prehistoric animals.  When they’re similar to things like we have today, they’re even more interesting.  Why did the crocodiles with boar-like tusks and duck-like bills die out, and why do we have the crocs we have today?

I have to admit, I’ve never heard of Expedition Week before, but now that I’ve seen just some of the cool stuff they’re discussing, I’m going to have to make it a point to catch it.  I have the National Geographic Channel, and I’m kicking myself for having missed some of the awesome specials they have.  That’s what I call edutainment!

Follow the bouncing balls!  If you’re a Google user, and you probably are, you’ll notice that the company’s traditional Google doodle logo has changed, yet again.  It’s not something Labor Day-themed, but it’s a bunch of bouncing balls that, when you mouse over them, they start flying around the screen.  When left alone, they eventually [...]

Talk about your oddities!  It’s kind of rare to see a cow with two horns in America, but to see a cow with three horns?  Only in China can you find this kind of weirdness!  When this particular mutant cow was born on Jia Kebing’s farm two years ago, Jia saw the bump on its [...]

On the British sci-fi show Dr. Who, you never really knew where the Doctor and his companions were going to land next thanks to their time-traveling police box known as the TARDIS (short for Time And Relative Dimensions in Space).  That bright blue police box has become an iconic part of science fiction lore, a [...]

There’s a lot of stuff you just have to see to believe.  It may sound crazy, and it is kind of crazy, but John Myers from Bloomfield, New Jersey, turned out to be his own worst enemy and his own best friend.  While visiting beautiful Madison, Wisconsin, for a friend’s wedding, he put his bag [...]

Rachel Stieringer, a 19-year-old from Keystone Heights, Florida, thought she was being really funny when she updated her Facebook page.  She took her infant son and posed him next to/against her massive green bong.  Everyone had a big laugh, except for Rachel and the Keystone Heights police department.  The bong baby’s mama was arrested and [...]

See that little fellow above?  Well, take a good, close look at his photo and tell me what you see.  Aside from the fact that he’s an adorable little guy, that is.  That’s right, he’s got two tiny ears in the middle of his larger ears!  This four-eared cat, named Luntik, was uncovered in a [...]
