Whoever wrote this article needs to explain to me how a continent "sinks". Ugh! If I had a dollar for every time science was incorrectly reported, I'd own the Kings by now.

Here's a link to the published paper on Zealandia, in case anyone is nerdy enough to want to read it: http://www.geosociety.org/gsatoday/archive/27/3/article/GSATG321A.1.htm

It's a pretty hot topic in the geonerd world right now!

Sorry for the error; I've never considered zoology one of my stronger points...

Fountain of youth? Young-blood therapy—“parabiosis”—works in mice, no question about it. Multiple experiments conducted at Harvard and elsewhere within the last five years have found that blood transfused from young mice into old ones had a rejuvenating effect.

Great. Now we are going have psychopaths killing young people to transfuse and bath in the blood of young people just like some creeps did in medieval times.
