It's amazing how many different configurations mechanical clocks can come. And even more amazing that they can also be so artistically done. picked by Mershaullk 1 year ago

Morning grogginess may be a thing of the past thanks to bio-alarm clocks designed to wake sleepers at the perfect time. The clocks detect brainwaves or body movements and are programmed to wake sleepers during light sleep, which occurs periodically through the night. picked by AutumnLotus 11 months ago

What would it take to jam a planet's tectonics? It seems that a huge rise in atmospheric temperatures would do the trick, causing continents to grind to a halt, mountains to stop growing and earthquakes to cease. On Earth, the motion of magma in the mantle pushes continental plates around on the surface, but if the magma became too hot and runny it would lose the grip needed to do this. picked by AutumnLotus 3 months ago

Planning your travel so you don't advance in chunks of more than four hours time difference will allow your body’s clocks to remain coordinated. New research suggests that symptoms of extreme jet lag may result from the body overshooting as it tries to adjust to particularly large leaps forward in time. Book flights accordingly so you can stay awake at that business conference! picked by ybne1else 2 years ago

The most notable recipient of Swift Boat largesse is John McCain. McCain ditched the mantle of maverick for that of hack, and his once-floundering, but rejuvenated campaign has been aided along the way by $61,650 from Swift Boat donors and their associates. picked by DerAlt 2 months ago

In the first experiments able to mimic the crushing, searing conditions found in Earth’s lower mantle, and simultaneously probe tell-tale properties of iron, scientists have discovered that material there behaves very differently than predicted by models. The research also points to the likelihood of a new zone deep in the Earth. picked by AutumnLotus 10 months ago

No, not dildos for animals...dildos of animals [animals' boyparts, to be specific]. This takes the furry fetish to a whole new level of ick. Oh, and they also sell clocks. With, you know, aroused German Shepherds and stuff.

Mr. McCain added pointedly: “I will not shirk the mantle of leadership that the United States bears. I will not permit eight long years to pass without serious action on serious challenges.”

A mineral that acts like a sponge beneath Earth's surface stores more oxygen than expected, keeping our planet from becoming dry and inhospitable like Mars. The key to the abundant oxygen storage is the mineral majorite, which exists deep below Earth's surface in the mantle. Without the oxygen stockpile, Earth would probably be a barren planet hostile to life. picked by AutumnLotus 10 months ago
