It was a cosmic ray with an enormous amount of energy – equivalent to the kinetic [...] Merry Christmas Sam and the Schmid family! Sam Schmid, an Arizona college student believed to be brain dead and poised to be an organ donor, miraculously recovered just hours before doctors were considering taking him off life support. Schmid, a junior and business major at the University of Arizona, was critically wounded in [...] From Brazil comes this scientific wonder, a miracle — and a moral and ethical conundrum: A Brazilian woman has given birth to a two-headed baby boy and doctors say the newborn appears to be in good health. Maria de Nazare has decided to name the pair, who share a heart, lungs, liver and [...] From Australia… the “ethical” case for eating meat from a journal called The Conversation: Most cattle slaughtered in Australia feed solely on pasture. This is usually rangelands, which constitute about 70% of the continent. Grazing occurs on primarily native ecosystems. These have and maintain far higher levels of native biodiversity than croplands. The rangelands [...] Just in time for Christmas comes the latest work from Christian and philosopher Alvin Plantinga.

It’s [...] V’ger is heading out into the Milky Way to wait for Decker and that bald chick. The spacecraft is close to leaving the Solar System and into the uncharted territory of the Milky Way after more than three decades in space.

An explorer has found the [...] What happens when we die? The soul goes wherever the soul goes (I like to think it takes a train, but that’s because I grew up in the 1970s), but the body? iO9 has this nice little story called “10 Bodily Functions That Continue After Death”: 10.
