Ancient Whale Were Land Dwellers?

Could whales have been land dwellers once? Some scientists think so.. 

Feb. 4, 2009 -- A rare fossil of an ancient whale with a fetus still inside reveals that its species -- an ancestor to modern whales -- gave birth on land 47.5 million years ago, according to a paper published in the online journal PLoS.

The discovery, along with prior fossil finds, suggests the first whale ancestors were full-time land dwellers that might have been related to the early relatives of hoofed animals, such as sheep and cattle.

Cry aloud, Spare Not! Let the Whole World Know what we have Found

I find this blog post simply touching, and wish to share it here...

"I was so timid when I was young. I was born a Catholic and always followed what my auntie said who always told me what to do, as if she owned me. She would often cut my hair and dressed me up on her style. I then looked boyish and skinny. She would always want me to be in the church and participate in all of the activities being performed there. So, I grew up with her and was greatly influenced by her thoughts acquired from the doctrines of the Catholic Church..."

Filipino Worker Loses Job For Not Using Toilet "The Australian Way"

`
This juicy bit is a rip-off from the The Huffington Post. Could we call this toilet discrimination!?

A Filipino contract worker Amador Bernabe, 43, lost his job Friday January 23 for not using the toilet "the Australian way".

Bernabe works as a machine operator for Townsville Engineering Industries. He said that on Thursday, his foreman followed him into the bathroom questioning his toilet hygiene after seeing him (Bernabe) carrying a bottled water inside the toilet.

Despite Bernabe's protests, he claims the foreman followed him into the toilet saying "you can't bring water in there".

"I said it's my personal hygiene. I didn't break any law, I didn't break any rules of the company, why can't I do this, and he said he would report me to the manager.", Bernabe said.

Bernabe was summoned to the manager's office the next day where he was admonished to use the toilet the "Australian way" or he would be immediately fired. Bernabe, seeing nothing wrong with his toilet habits, replied "sir, then you better terminate me"

8 Babies in 5 Minutes

A California woman gave birth to eight babies in a span of five minutes on Monday. This is considered only the second time in history that live octuplets have been born The mother, as you've might have guessed, gave birth by cesarean section.

Six boys and two girls weighing between 1.8 pounds and 3.4 pounds. The doctors were expecting seven live births only so their obsession for methodical precision was upset with the delivery of the 8th baby. Better luck next time, I guess.

"It's a surprise," said Dr. Karen Maples.

The first live-born octuplets were born in Houston in December 1998. They were three months premature and their weights ranged from 11 ounces to 1 pound, 11 ounces. The tiniest infant died of heart and lung failure a week after being born. The surviving siblings turned 10 in December.

Twins study suggests that sociability, shyness might be hidden in DNA

Is it possible that traits such as shyness and sociability are dictated by our genes? To think that such traits could determine a person's attitude and material success says a lot about what we inherit from our parents. Another intriguing implication of the research is the feasibility that an individual's genetic makeup can influence the behavior of others.

MONDAY, Jan. 26 (HealthDay News) --...A new study comparing the two types of twins shows that genetics might affect social behavior, and the scientists who made the discovery say they are closing in on some of those "personality" genes...
