I can't even think of a good title for all this business.

Whoa. This is intense.
I usually only see two or three articles that just scream, "Whoooooooa PICK ME!" but today I happened to see a great many that looked important.
So. Whew. Here goes.


Environmentalists.
Awesomesauce, right?
Unfortunately not everyone shares our opinions, sci-guys.
In 34 countries scattered across the world, these fantastic individuals have been slaughtered for their defense of our planet, and the number of deaths has risen dramatically in the last three years.
Kudos, mankind.
You're going to regret your stupidity once you finally realize you can't eat concrete.

Including mummies.
So. Those of you who like microbes? Awesome.
Those of you who like mummies? Awesome.
Check out this article.

Mount Llullaillaco, Argentina. This is the site of the recent discovery of three children sacrificed by the Inca.
Yaaaaaay, Incas.

Well, if you're asking me, columnists, the only way for life to be better on these "super-earth exoplanets" is to control the people who are able to relocate there.
For instance, Stephen Hawking needs to approve this first, and subsequently be the first one sent there.
Stephen Colbert can go there second.
And Stephen King.
Jeez.
There's just an abundance of Stephens.

Huzzah.

Okay. So dogs.
And their dust.
Doggy dust.
It can...prevent asthma???
Wha-WHA?
Okay. Not that I support mice testing, but that's purty dang cool.
And you know, now you all have to get your kids puppies.

Puppy for sale: white, fluffy, adorable, asthma preventative.
