"A few months ago the Johnson Space Center, one of NASA’s major space facilities, was forced to call Tom Rasberry after NASA officials found the ants inside their facility.

After controlling the JSC invasion, Rasberry said, “With the computer systems they have in there, it could devastate the facility. If these ants got into the facility in the numbers they have in other locations, well, it would be awful. I've been in this business for 32 years, and this is unlike anything I've ever seen. Anything. When you bring in entomologists from all over the U.S. and they're in shock and awe, that shows you what it's like." [Computerworld]

When news spread about the infestation at NASA, Frank Michel, spokesperson for Houston mayor Bill White, received a call from a Russian government official. Mr. Michel reported, “I got a call from Moscow wanting to know if NASA was safe.” He said, “I reassured the Russians we’re O.K..” [The New York Times]"

Cool. If the BBC is checking out BoT, then I think they should send Lonecat a nice bonus, or at least a thank you, for his exposure of their fine articles to the readership of this site. I have a few more ideas if they want to pay heed to any suggestions. Just kidding everyone, they don't have to follow up on everything I say.

One main difference though is they produce these magnificent blooms not to attract mates but to attract a courier for the sweets for their potential mates. But the flower is still all about reproduction as is the flamboyant plumage on some birds.

Sorry Lonecat for going on like that. I just like talking about the flora as well as the fauna sometimes.

Turns out the killers were the black bears ... hungry... and were eating , like you say , on the spot, But didnt eat the hands etc... They didnt usually share the same land, but hunger had forced the black bears into the woods , where the brown bears usually foraged etc

All really interesting ...]]> no_email@example.com (Newbs) http://www.book-of-thoth.com/ftopict-16292.html http://www.book-of-thoth.com/ftopict-16282.html

If you've seen the pics taken by a Japanese ship of this large creature taking the bait, it's truely amazing.

The main issue in my eyes is the increase in the numbers of these negative influences. The second is the decrease in the numbers of backups when there is an obvious threat in relying on one product that can & does have far reaching implications.

This was the simplest description I could find on Nicotinoids. We also have to consider methods of pest control that incorporate some very nasty ingredients. In an agricultural region, there would have to be some forms of pest control. How about we reconsider what should be legally used? This is a complicated situation that has a lot of variables to ponder. The more nastiness we can exclude from the equations, the nicer the end product. Right on.

At 40 feet long that is. Baryonyx walkeri appears to have crouched over river banks scooping at fisb with it's 12 inch long claws that were on unusually long arms. At around 4 tons, they were too massive to be chasing fish built the way they were.

Suchomimus was similar in size & related to the British brute. Including those foot long claws. Here's the press release from National Geographic about the discovery in Africa in November 1998.

Another nice one Lonecat. Dinosaurs are nice.
