In prehistoric times the Earth’s atmosphere is believed to have been much richer in oxygen than it is today, allowing exoskeletal creatures (including insects, spiders and crustaceans) to grow much larger than their modern-day counterparts. This information hasn’t stopped some creatures, namely the coconut crab, from growing larger than I consider reasonable for any creature [...]

NASA has revealed that a celestial object that went careening past our planet earlier last week was “probably” an asteroid, doing little to allay the fears of those determined to believe that it was actually an intergalactic junker, or maybe even a space whale.
Dubbed “2010 AL30″ in what is an obvious attempt to render it [...]

Not only does the word “swath” refer to the path cut by a scythe or other blade, but it is also used to describe the area observed by orbiting satellites as they pass over the Earth.

When a pop star releases an album entitled Rated R, you would be forgiven for thinking that it might contain themes of a sexually suggestive nature. In the case of Rihanna’s newest album, however, it seems far more likely that the title relates to violence.
