A creepy yet interesting wikipedia entry. I remember being glued to the TV when Nixon died, and I just figured out why - I was born in 1980, so that was the first presidential funeral I had ever observed. This post isn't as random as one might think - I just finished watching Frost/Nixon. List of United States Presidents by date of death - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |

McPherson along with his colleagues Alastair Robinson and Volker Heinrich have discovered more than 20 new varieties of pitcher plant in recent expeditions and have also made two rediscoveries. One of those rediscoveries, Nepenthes deaniana, was first recorded in 1907 but was subsequently lost when the Philippine National Herbarium in Manila was bombed towards the end of World War II. McPherson and his team believe they are the first explorers to observe the plant in the wild in over a century. The Nepenthes deaniana produces a spectacular, football-sized, red pitchers that are large enough to catch insects and small animals. In many of the traps, McPherson's team found giant centipedes and 10 centimeter-long spiders.

At birth, Becca Hill weighed just 13 ounces. That's as much as a medium-sized apple, three and a half chocolate bars or a can of Coke.
My friend Nancy gave birth (a little over a year ago) to Becca - a beautiful (but very tiny) little girl. Today, you can read about Becca's story online at the Tennessean. 13 ounces at birth, Becca is Tennessee's tiniest baby to survive | tennessean.com | The Tennessean |
