Bugs VS. Dinosaurs
Written by WTJ on January 4, 2008 – 11:38 am -Asteroid impacts or massive volcanic flows might have occurred around the time dinosaurs became extinct, but a new arguemet is that the mightiest creatures the world has ever known may have been brought down by a tiny, much less dramatic force — biting, disease-carrying insects.
I watched Alien VS. Predator 2 last night. Honestly, AVP2 sucks. Whole movie is about some dumb alien who only know how to oral sex to have more oral-sex-addicted offsprings, and they can’t even control their salivary gland.

Two-Headed Reptile Fossil Found.
Written by Lau on December 30, 2006 – 6:31 am -Though is rarely happen, two-headed animals are often found in natural environment. This phenomenon is due incomplete splitting of embryos, which otherwise will give rise to identical twins. When this incomplete splitting of embryos happens in humans, it lead to phenomenon known as Siamese, or conjoined, twins.
For the very first time, paleontologists have found a tiny reptile fossil with two heads. The 120-million-year-old specimens found in china is only 2.8 inches long, is a hatchling of a species of Choristodere.
