Maybe it's in my DNA. : )

Do you want to swap my cheek?

Secret?

It's just Google or just following links people post on other sites. Really, there is not secret. : )

Rare photo of double-lightening strike.

Ireland's Giant's Causeway is constructed of 40,000 basalt columns. Most of them are hexagons, but there are also columns with four, five, seven and eight sides, clustering in a honeycomb pattern and thrusting as high as 36 ft. into the air. They were formed following volcanic eruptions around 50-60 million years ago, when molten basaltic lava cooled, then fractured along strict mathematical lines as it hardened, forming straight edges as sharp as those seen in quartz formations. Giant's Causeway was recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986.

Like volcanoes and earthquakes, geysers and hot springs open windows onto the potent forces hidden beneath the skin of the planet. Fly Geyser, above, lies in the geyser-rich region around Black Rock Desert in Nevada, the dry bed of an ancient lake. This formation is in part man-made: farmers drilling for water in 1916 tapped into a hydrothermal aquifer that flooded the area. In the 1960s the geyser itself began spouting; it does so in a constant stream, unlike geysers such as Old Faithful in Yellowstone National Park, whose vented water flows back underground, only to be reheated and released on a steady timetable. The cone-shaped spouts above have formed over the years as emitted minerals solidify, and they are still growing.

How the Ice Age Gave Birth to the First Modern Humans
Who were the Cro-Magnons and how did they survive a snow-bound world? We talked last March with Brian Fagan, emeritus professor of anthropology at U.C. Santa Barbara and author of the book "Cro-Magnon: How the Ice Age Gave Birth to the First Modern Humans" (Bloomsbury Press, 2010).

Listen here.

Glad you all like it. Someone posted on another site today, and I just knew it was something worth passing on. If you haven't done so already, be sure to follow the link to the main site, too. It is great as well.

Thanks, DG. We almost didn't make it, by the broad evidence offered here. Have to wonder how much longer we'll manage to hold destructive sway on this delicate orb--and what it will be like without us.

Or the internet is a bit older than we thought.
