Human Face Spider
02/24/11 -- Pretty Cool
“A rare spider that has the markings of a human face on its back has been discovered at an English nature reserve. The hairy arachnid is a lichen crab spider and is so scarce that only 41 of them have been spotted in Britain since 1890. Despite its hairy appearance and grumpy-looking ‘face’ on its abdomen, the eight-legged creature is harmless to humans. The spider – Philodromus margaritatus in Latin – gets its name because it is usually found on lichen covered tree trunks and its body is camouflaged to resemble its surroundings. They grow to about the size of a 20 pence piece and consume small insects such as ants that they chase after at relatively high speeds. Mark Singleton, who works at the RSPB nature reserve at Arne, near Wareham, Dorset, said: ‘This is the first one that has been found in Dorset in 35 years.” w/ photos

Basketball Team Breaks 26-Year Losing Streak
02/24/11 -- Unbelievable
“Victory for Caltech basketball team as it breaks 26-year losing streak… With seconds left, the 46-45 home victory over Occidental was capped with a free throw by Senior Ryan Elmquist, who led the Beavers with 23 points and nine rebounds. After he missed the second free throw shot, Occidental threw a desperate off-centre half-court shot that was followed by an eruption of jubilant applause in CalTech’s Braun Athletic Centre… With a better track record for world renowned scientists and engineers than NBA-bound hoopsters, the California Institute of Technology is far from being recognized for its athletics. To date the research institution has produced 31 Nobel Prize winners and counting.” w/ photos + video
