Lost musical instrument recreated through Science-- that huge trumpet thing that's famous in Medieaval tapestries. Apparently, it's unweildy, hard to play, but haunting and entirely unreproducible by other istruments.
Scientists test ways to identify water from space. Which is awesome.
Huge Loch-Ness-type monster found in the Jurassic Shore of Lyme Regis in England. And it's been chewed on. The world is so weird.
Family who names their kids Adolph Hitler and Aryan Nation can't undertand why their kids were taken from them by Child Services? If they're not skinheads, why would they name thier kids like that?
The Siberian ice circles are blamed on methane upwllings. This makes the circles less interesting / mysterious, but makes the lake scarier-- someone needs to find a safe way to mine the methane to use as power so that it can't explode and kill 85% of all life on earth like it has before.
Still no UFOs in nasa footage. I think if there is some, we're not seeing them-- and I think the rabid UFO-seachers should look for context: this all has context that makes it obvious what it is, and they're latching onto the one piece that's weird-looking without that context and calling it UFOs. Fail.
US governement accidentally released highly classified Nuke info in a newsletter addressing security leaks? WTF mate? It'd be funny if it weren't so scary.
Gourmet white teas from Tea Forte.
Rich is starting a new Doctor Who comic! And it looks like it's a Forever Knight and DW crossover!
Bryan Singer is interested in returning to X-Men, and I think that's a great idea. Especially if it can get everything back on track after X3.
Lemon Mint Granitas served in their own lemon shells!
Boozy wine-marinated grapes that are also a cocktail!
This will make you want to have a pond in your yard.
Oh, io9, why do you tempt me so with stories about how Firefly could be made to come back in a reasonable and fulfilling way?
The io9 June Guide to Scifi, in convenient calendar form.
I NEED a tricorder, guys, I NEED it.
Climate change is sexist-- in that there's more poor women than poor men, and the poor are unduly affected.
Windows 7 launches in October-- lets hope it's better than Vista. I'd like to upgrade immediately, but, you know, there's tons of more needful things I need to pay for, like rent, and there's bound to be months of debugging, and I need more memory in my compy first.
Controller free gaming! X-Box 360 Project Natal.
Painted manhole covers. I wish we had a culture where beauty and utitlty were not mutually exclusive.
Next time, I'm oorganizing by topic for eease of remembering where the hell I put things.
