1 Choice 1: Don't eat anything in the seed bank and starve to death leaving ALL of the seeds unprotected. Choice 2: Eat some of the seeds, stay alive, and protect the rest of the seeds for the country's future. I think choice 2 would have been more rat ... Read more Posted on May 5, 2013 by savio

Dental cavities could be a thing of the past 2 0
Posted by duddy   May 5, 2013   2489 views
Dental cavities aren’t caused by sugar, but by a byproduct from bacteria that feed on that sugar. A new molecule called Keep 32 has been created to eliminate that bacteria in the mouth. If the human trials go well, Keep 32 may begin to appear in toothpastes to help make dental visits less painful and keep smiles healthier and brighter.

1 How about if humans just limit their sugar intake then there would be no need for this. It would probably have some other positive outcomes as well. Posted on May 5, 2013 by savio

1 What a great man. But one only wonders how long this self-sacrifice will last. What if he wants to get married one day, won't he have to leave this life style? Posted on May 5, 2013 by savio 2 You see this as self-sacrificing, but this behavior is giving life. I think that behavior should be an example to everyone. If people care more about other people, humanity will be greatly helped. Posted on May 6, 2013 by Alexx

Self-sacrificing honeypot ants 4 0
Posted by duddy   May 2, 2013   4590 views
More than thirty species of ant have a caste known as 'honeypot ants'. These essentially act as living pantries for other ants in the colony. They consume large quantities of food until the abdomen is incredibly engorged. When worker ants lack other food sources, honeypot ants simply regurgitate out nutrients for them to eat. In some parts of the world, eating honeypot ants is viewed as a sweet delicacy.

Will the rhino go extinct? 3 2
Posted by duddy   May 2, 2013   2784 views
Sadly, the remaining rhinos in Mozambique are reported to have been wiped out due to poaching. The animals had been under protection on a preserve, but 30 of the 100 rangers who were supposed to be caring for the animals are believed to have been aiding poachers, and are currently awaiting trial. Even if found guilty, it will only be a misdemeanor. Rhino horns are a big market in certain Asian countries, primarily China and Vietnam, and are used in folk remedies or for ornamental purposes. If poaching continues, experts warn that elephants will suffer the same fate. ... Read more

1 It will if people remain uneducated about they the hell they are doing! Posted on May 2, 2013 by robertling 2 This breaks my heart. Posted on Jul 13, 2013 by doseofmegan 3 I agree, it's sad, but we need to put ourselves in peoples shoes (if they have any ). For example, unlike North Americans, people elsewhere need to survive. Survival is easy in the USA or Canada, but not everywhere in the world. Hungry people see thi ... Read more Posted on Jul 13, 2013 by goji.go
