Coffee and Provocation

Brain Dead in Michigan:
The auto industry is not the only thing dying in Michigan. It turns out that the great brains in that state
plan to kill 10,000 cormorants so they will not compete with anglers for fish.

More Stuff Named After Steven Colbert:
Scientists have named a newly discovered species of beetle, Agaporomorphus colberti, in honor of comedian Stephen Colbert. He already has an eagle, a falcon and a NASA treadmill named after him.

Desert Whales:
Stone masons cutting Egyptian limestone in Italy discovered that the kitchen counter tops they were working on contained a 40-million year old fossilized whale skull.

A Slogan for the Modern Newspaper Industry:
This needs to be a T-Shirt: "Save our newspapers: Because it’s hard to raise puppies without them".
