This section is for great science announcments, or rather poor, flawed and pointless ones.

Rats Tails:

Scientist in America conducted experiments into hereditary defects based around loss of tails. They got a test group of rats, and cut off their tails. They then waited for them to reproduce, "amazingly" the rats' children had tails (I would never have guessed that would you?) so they repeated the tests and again the rats children had tails. I bet we are all glad they conducted this highly useful experiment. Now we know that if we lose an arm, our children won't be born without arms.

Grasshoppers:

This is a newspaper headline (I just wish I had the article).

"Recent tests conducted by a zoologist prove that grasshoppers hear with their legs. In all cases the insects hopped when a tuning fork was sounded nearby. There was no reaction to this stimulus, however, when the insects' legs had been removed."

Laugh..... I was nearly crying.

Got any better ones than this??? Prove it, email them to me.
