Today’s science news is rife with interestingly unsettling stories. For instance:
- Apparently, hundreds of small earthquakes have been rattling Yellowstone National Park for the last two weeks. This is especially unnerving considering another recent article about how scientists are worried that the Haitian earthquake indicates increased seismic activity in this part of the world.
- The body takes abstract thoughts literally
- Bad news for those of you who’ve pissed off bees: they can hold a grudge. It seems that honeybees can remember human faces.
- Bad news for those of you who’ve pissed off robots: it seems that robots have evolved to learn hunting and cooperation.
- octopuses (octopi/octopodes?) are pretty smart. I don’t recommend pissing them off.
This concludes our transmission. Until next time!
