Blog Chases Tornadoes (May 08 2005 23:42 GMT) - WeatherBug has a blog called StormChase 2005 that has been tracking the WeatherBug team's efforts to chase a tornado. Their hard work was rewarded on May 6th when they spotted a funnel emerging from a wall cloud: Today was a great day! We tracked a storm from its beginnings as a small cumulus cloud crossing the dryline, to its development into a full mesoscale system complete with two funnels that lowered several hundred feet out of a wall cloud before they dissipated back up into the cloud. Fortunately for the farmers and residents of Dundy County, no tornadoes touched down. |

666 Not So Bad After All (May 08 2005 23:42 GMT) - An acient 1,500-year-old Greek papyrus has been found that contains a Book of Revelation passage that shows 666 is not the "number of the beast." The correct number according to the text is 616. This papryus, which was part of the Oxyrhynchus discovery, predates all other existing Revelations documents. The National Post has more on the story: The tiny fragment of 1,500-year-old papyrus is written in Greek, the original language of the New Testament, and contains a key passage from the Book of Revelation. |

Animals Grow Human Organs for Science (May 08 2005 23:42 GMT) - Scientist are growing human tissue and organ inside of animals for study and the possibility of creating donor parts that can be harvested from the animals. MSNBC.com reports that just outside of Reno, Nevada a farm contains a "flock of about 50 smelly sheep, many of them possessing partially human livers, hearts, brains and other organs." The research is legal and could have huge health benefits but some are concerned that growing human parts inside mice, pigs, sheep and other animals is gong too far. But the biological co-mingling of animal and human is now evolving into even more exotic and unsettling mixes of species, evoking the Greek myth of the monstrous chimera, which was part lion, part goat and part serpent. |
