news you really don't see every day
May. 12th, 2005 08:14 amscientists discover a new family of mammals in Laos.
now, that's just fucking cool. although i guess technically they didn't "discover" it, because the Laotians were already eating them. i'm considerably disappointed that the scientists in question didn't bother to taste them. (like chicken, i'm guessing.)
either way, let's give a shout out to our new cousin Laonastes aenigmamus, otherwise known as the kha-nyou or Laotian rock rat.
i was going to mention some other news, but it got too depressing. i hereby declare this "LiveJournal Post Good News Day." find something positive in the news and post it in your LJ. pssst, pass it on.
