Does your boss drive you nuts? You can’t get a new job in this recession, but you would swear this guy acts like an ape: bullying workers under him, strutting around, puffing out his chest, preening himself, adding touches of bright color (like a red tie) to his outfits. It might make you feel better to know that this is chimpanzee behavior!
The Oct. 7th edition of the Independent, Kathy Marks quotes researcher Jeffrey Braithwaite as saying, “From an evolutionary point of view, about 200 species are known to strut and puff out their chests.

A small, newly-discovered asteroid named 2008 TC3 is approaching Earth and chances are good that it will hit. Measuring only a few meters across, the space rock poses no threat to people or structures on the ground, but it should create a spectacular fireball, releasing about a kiloton of energy as it disintegrates and explodes in the high atmosphere above northern Sudan. However, it should be noted that the asteroid has just been discovered. Had it beenthirty meters across instead of three, it would have been acatastrophe, and one with very little warning.
