    Episode 5: The zombie mice of Marion Island

    Mice on the sub-antarctic Marion Island are out for blood, and they're feasting, zombie-style, on living, immature albatrosses.

    @Stockcar86 given the tech is in the ink I'm predict some hilarious tatts making use of it in the future.

    @Stockcar86 My ex used to have a glow-in-the-dark tatt.

    They don't do them anymore due to cancer or some such illness related to it.

    Why has nobody done this for me? I have to do everything myself!

    Where on her person was it exactly?

    Just asking out of purely scientific interest.

    @jegga My scientific interest also leads me to ask what it was?

    An arrow perhaps?

    @Snowy It was very tasteful, floral type pattern along her back. I'm not normally a tattoo fan but this was pretty cool.

    But yeah probably not cool enough to warrant risking cancer over.

    @Rembrandt Got to admit that I am a little disappointed. A floral pattern on her back...well... seems, to lack imagination. "Get it here"... hmmm, actually seems better.

    Having completely derailed this thread, I like this article:

    The eclipse that proved Einstein right and changed our understanding of the universe

    The eclipse that proved Einstein right and changed our understanding of the universe

    When the moon blotted out the sun on May 29, 1919, scientists were able to confirm the physicist's theory of relativity.

    is pretty cool, but I am dubious about the 13,798 billion years ago the Universe being born...

    I mean, the number alone, let alone what was in the big old Universe space before the, well, the Universe was there?

    Yeah yeah, science, but c'mon, 13,798 billion years ago!!

    They're completely wrong about the age of the universe.

    It's actually 13,798,000,002 ...

    @taniwharugby Just believe in God then?

    It might be many billion years out but it is still cool and the earth only being 10,000 years old according to creationists I am a lot more skeptical about.

    Maths.

    Apparently the maths get a little screwy and dont work at 1x10 to the power of minus-13 of a second or something.
