An international team of scientists has announced the discovery of an extraordinary fossilized nest in China, preserving at least eight separate dinosaurs from 70 million years ago.
The ancient scene is unprecedented, and provides the first hard evidence that dinosaurs were brooding parents, laying their eggs and incubating them for quite a long time.

The young dentist never reached either country. The next day, he didn’t make it beyond a rooftop four miles from Kabul airport, where his body was found after he plunged from a U.S. military plane as it took off — one of the most tragic and indelible images in the final chapter of the U.S. campaign in Afghanistan.
Even in a backward country, one might expect that a medical professional would realize that grabbing onto the side of a jet aircraft is not a reasonable approach to hitch-hiking.

OCONEE COUNTY, S.C. — A man in Oconee County is facing charges after authorities say he stole a full-grown horse and then allegedly tried to hide it in a bedroom.
Dispatch was able to contact the suspect's father who was not far away. He later told deputies that the home was his and that his son wasn't supposed to be there.
Upon entering the home, deputies stated in the report that they found signs that the horse may be nearby.
"I immediately observed that there was horse feces in the living room," the responding deputy wrote.
As for the suspect, authorities said he was wanted on additional charges. Other reports provided by the sheriff's office list burglary, petit larceny, trespassing, and at least one case where the suspect was seen throwing a mandolin into a longtime neighbor's pasture.
For the horse theft, he now faces an additional charge of stealing livestock valued at more than $2,000 and less than $10,000.
Who knows? If not for the horse-crap, he might have pulled it off. "Look Dad! I got you a pony!"

Your wireless mouse has died and you’re on deadline. Or you kid’s toy stopped working and they’re not happy.
If you’re out of AA batteries, did you know you can use a smaller AAA battery by folding up a small bit of tin foil and inserting it on one of the ends?
It totally works since AA and AAA batteries carry the same amount of voltage.

U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM), the organization that administers America’s Spec Ops forces, says it will soon start clinical trials of an “anti-aging pill” that could halt some naturally degenerative effects of aging.
The hope seems to be that these will make them bigger, stronger, and able to quickly recover from injuries in order to rejoin their comrades faster than would normally be the case with their untreated counterparts. Presumably, they're going to have to wait a while in order to assess the relative effects of the treatments.
“We have completed pre-clinical safety and dosing studies in anticipation of follow-on performance testing in fiscal year 2022,” Navy Commander Tim Hawkins, a SOCOM spokesperson, told Breaking Defense.

A Portlander needs to earn $86,833 a year to afford a home in the metro area, a number that increased 7.5% since last year, according data from HSH.com.
That puts the city at No. 11 among the most-expensive metro areas in the U.S., according to the mortgage data provider.
But...why would anybody want to buy around here now?

Lawns are the largest irrigated crop in the United States, more than corn or wheat. Nationwide, more than 7 billion gallons of water per day are used to keep them looking fresh. And that’s not to mention the 2.4 million metric tons of fertilizer that go into them every year either.
Not exactly "eco-friendly"....

The FDA says "Don't eat cicadas if you have a seafood allergy". It seems that the insects are somehow related to a couple of forms of fish. Weird, but there we go.
