I had today off, and spent most of the morning reading back stories in the new scientist. About halfway through, I remembered that I am supposed to do this on Fridays. So, here's a few things which I found interesting:

archaeological evidence of the earliest war.

Most dinosaurs were really fast.

My kind of research.

What happens when a nation spends many times it's income preparing for a war which is never fought.

and finally:
