Ley Lines are magnetic lines that criss-cross the Earth. Early humans may have been able to detect them, since many prehistoric monuments, such as Stonehenge, are built along them. Migratory birds may be able to see them and use them as a map.

“A fascinating possibility is that [birds] may actually see the earth’s magnetic lines as patterns of color or light intensity superimposed on their visual surroundings,” says biologist John B. Phillips. “Some animals can see ultraviolet light. Some animals can see polarized light.” It’s now known that bees can see “landing strip” patterns on flowers that are invisible to human eyes.

The sentence of death row inmate Jimmy Ray Slaughter is being appealed, based on a new type of lie detector: the brain fingerprint.

Graham Inglis explains the process in Phenomena magazine. If you’re shown an image that you haven’t seen before, your brain stores it away as a new memory that can be detected on a brain scanner. If you HAVE seen it before, that reaction can also be “read.” Since if he’s never seen the crime scene, a suspect can’t be guilty of the crime, the suspect is shown crime scene images while investigators look at which parts of his brain light up. Just as in a conventional lineup of suspects, other images are mixed in with the crime scene photos while they flash by on a computer screen.

There IS a link between 911 and Iraq, and that link is oil. To al-Qaeda, showing a naked man being taunted by a female soldier is inhumane, but beheading a civilian U.S. worker is not. We may never be able to see the world through the eyes of Middle Eastern fundamentalists (and we may not want to), but if we don’t find a way to use less oil (and quickly) we’re going to have to deal with them for a long time to come.

Roses come in a wide variety of colors, but that’s not enough for some folks?they’re determined to create a blue rose. There are plenty of blue flowers in the world, but no one has yet been able to persuade a rose bush to produce blue flowers. But now, using an enzyme found in the human liver, they may be able to genetically engineer one. Flowers which are naturally blue have a pigment called delphinidin. Exactly the right balance of acidity is needed inside the cells of the plant to create the right shade of blue. “The rose is not easy to work with,” says rose geneticist David Byrne. “It has no blue pigments and it can’t seem to go through the transformation process.”
