Beauty & the Beast

It works that way in real life too! -
...but he will get the pretty girl
|
Why do so many beautiful women marry unattractive men?
Maybe it's because they're
marrying
Dad. Research shows that these couples actually work out
better than a marriage between two good-looking people.
Psychologists advise women seeking a mate to look for a guy
who is a little less attractive than they are because new
research shows that couples in which the wife is better
looking than her husband are more positive and supportive.

Gridlock? Commute by Electric Plane!
16-May-2008
Fly it to the office
|
We may soon be able to beat the traffic by commuting to
work in a NEW kind of
hybrid:
an electric plane/car. And when it comes to planes, should
we design airplanes that
flap their
wings like birds do? Birds, bats and insects flap their wings,
and they outperform man-made aircraft in aerobatics and
efficiency. Engineers may be able to design planes with
wingspans smaller than a deck of playing cards (handy for
parking in tight spots once you get to the office!)

microbes, and now it's been discovered that they may also
release pesticides! In New Scientist, Ewen Callaway
writes, "Decades after most countries stopped spraying DDT,
frozen stores of the insecticide are now trickling out of
melting Antarctic glaciers. The change means Adélie penguins
have recently been exposed to the chemical." And that
means that WE could be exposed to it too.
