In this sedition, a round up of global May Day riots, plus a re-cap of the Baltimore insurrection propelled by the police murder of Freddie Gray. To top it off, an double cheeseburger with bacon exclusive interview with Hilda Legadeño, mother of one of the missing Normalista students.

It's the end of the World...

Nova Labs

Evolution Lab

What could you possibly have in common with a mushroom, or a dinosaur, or even a bacterium? More than you might think. In this Lab, you’ll puzzle out the evolutionary relationships linking together a spectacular array of species. Explore the tree of life and get a front row seat to what some have called the greatest show on Earth. That show is evolution.

"You know how sometimes, you catch the faintest hint of movement in the corner of your eye, then you blink and it's gone? That's him.”

“His vibrato sounded like he was driving a tractor over a ploughed field with weights tied to his scrotum.”

"Cheer up, the worst is yet to come."

“People today have forgotten they're really just a part of nature. Yet, they destroy the nature on which our lives depend. They always think they can make something better. Especially scientists. They may be smart, but most don't understand the heart of nature. They only invent things that, in the end, make people unhappy. Yet they're so proud of their inventions. What's worse, most people are, too. They view them as if they were miracles. They worship them. They don't know it, but they're losing nature. They don't see that they're going to perish. The most important things for human beings are clean air and clean water.”

First Trek....

An arduous journey into a remote location .....scenic beauty, pretty flora, signs of ancient inhabitants, Hmm, need to spend a little more time trudging around these cliffs....

“Can there be any question that the human is the least harmonious beast in the forest and the creature most toxic to the nest?”

Pie Comic

“The white flashed back into a red ball in the southeast. They all knew what it was. It was Orlando, or McCoy Base, or both. It was the power supply for Timucuan County.

Thus the lights went out, and in that moment civilization in Fort Repose retreated a hundred years.

So ended The Day.”

Somewhere out there is a tree, tirelessly producing oxygen so you can breathe. I think you owe it an apology.

With Just Hours To Live, MESSENGER Continues To Snap Pics Of Mercury

MESSENGER is the first spacecraft to visit orbit Mercury. Since March 17, 2011, it has captured over 270,000 images and other extensive data sets. But its mission is almost over; with no propellant, the craft will now succumb to the force of solar gravity and hit the surface of Mercury at some point tomorrow. The collision is expected to create a crater approximately 52-feet wide (16 meters). For comparison, that’s about the size of the smallest craters visible in this shot (below) of Mercury’s surface.
