Tiger moths can listen in and jam Bat sonars to give them a better chance of survival- Live Science

"These moths can make an incredible amount of sound, 450 clicks in a tenth of a second," Corcoran explained. "That's essential, because a bat's entire attack sequence can last just one second, maybe two seconds on the long end, and so the moths have to be quick, listen to the bat echolocation calls and then figure out the right time to make the right sounds to jam them. It's an extraordinarily fast, dynamic response."

Two is lonely- Fish like to crowd around- Discovery

In groups of 10, the team reported last month at the Society for Experimental Biology Meeting in Glasgow, fish were least aggressive, least likely to dart, and most likely to form schools and behave as they do in the wild. In home aquariums, the researchers concluded, people should keep neon tetras and white cloud mountain minnows in groups of at least 10.

"We're beginning to understand that fish are social animals," said Tony Farrell, a fish physiologist at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver.

Man in buffet line arrested for felony and robbery- www.ksl.com

Campus officials said it happened Thursday at the Shepherd Union Building, where a buffet had been set up for competitors in an archery tournament. Police said Maurice Henry Glen Crichlow, 20, was spotted going through the line and confronted by a food services employee.

"He did not appear to be a member of the competition," WSU spokesman John Kowalewski said Friday. "This individual (the food services worker) approached the young man-this is the second time he'd been seen in the line that day-and informed him that if he wanted the food he needed to pay for the food."

Kowalewski said the man became belligerent, pushed the one worker and was immediately confronted by another food service worker.

"At that point this individual shoved, or pushed the second staff member and said, 'If you've got a problem with me, call police,'" Kowalewski said.

They did. Crichlow was ultimately arrested and booked into the Weber County Jail on investigation of second-degree felony robbery, disorderly conduct and interfering with an arrest.

Joining in on a buffet queue counts as second degree felony robbery, so how about shoplifting? Don't even think of it- Man gets life for shoplifting: UPI

A man convicted of shoplifting five CDs from a Texas Wal-Mart while on parole on a murder conviction was sentenced by a jury to life in prison.

But this kind of heavyhandedness would hardly work in Russia, did you know that? Policemen turn ‘victims’ of road striptease- Russia Today.

A man in the Siberian town of Barnaul has made some road policemen’s hair curl by performing a striptease for them, the Atmosfera news agency reports.

But please don't develop a prejudice against police- they are there to help a hand at odd moments of crisis: Police free man from station suitcase locker- Yahoo! News.

German police had to rescue a 20-year-old man from a train station suitcase locker after he shut himself in for fun and began to suffocate.

After a night out drinking with friends, squeezing into the locker had seemed like an amusing idea to the man...

And in Detroit, the police are good sport- Police Chief James Barren's house was hit by burglars on the day he ended his 31-year career with the department- UPI

Barren, forced out by Mayor Dave Bing, told the Detroit Free Press the burglars took a television, camcorder, computer and jewelry.

"They got me pretty good," he said.

Narcissist Alert: Scientists have made a mirror that lets you see yourself no matter where you are- Discovery

Standing in front of a large, optical universal mirror, a person would see his or her own reflection at any angle, instead of only at 90 degrees, as is the case with an ordinary mirror.

"(A universal mirror) makes things become very visible," said Ulf Leonhardt, a professor at the University of St. Andrews and co-author of a paper in the current issue of Nature Materials. "It's the exact opposite of an invisibility cloak."

Unlike a universal mirror, an invisibility cloak guides light waves around an object in order to conceal it. Although universal mirrors and invisibility cloaks might preform opposite functions, they each employ the same technology.

And a groundbreaking discovery (really)- monitoring your brain signals lets you predict your lapse of concentration twenty seconds before it happens- Journal of Neuroscience

The extent to which changes in brain activity can foreshadow human error is uncertain yet has important theoretical and practical implications. The present study examined the temporal dynamics of electrocortical signals preceding a lapse of sustained attention. ... Our results show that the specific neural signatures of attentional lapses are registered in the EEG up to 20 s before an error.

So, finally, we are what we are:

4807 (Regarding) the spirit that isn't (wearing) real love (as its) inner garment, (its) never having existed (is) better, since its existence isn't (anything) other than a shameful dishonor.

Be drunk in love, since love is everything that exists. Without the occupation and trading of love there isn't (any) door to the Beloved.

It is said, "What is love?" Say, "Giving up free will." There isn't (any) free will (for) anyone who hasn't let go of free will.
