Found at Militant Platypus.

Update 7/22/06: Thanks to everyone who pointed out that this sticker is from Crimethinc.

Wang Xiaobei, a 72 year-old grandma from Jinan, Shandong province, China, successfully pulled a truck. Not impressed? She did it with her teeth!

Wang, a senior accountant, said her good health and high spirits were down to more than 30 years of martial arts training.

Last winter, she succeeded in pulling two cars with her teeth and decided to try something tougher this time.

Next, she aims to set her sights on something even heavier – a train carriage, reports Chongqing Morning News.

Paleontologist Garety Dyke at the University College Dublin in Ireland suggested that an extinct dinosaur called Sharovipteryx mirabilis was the world’s first delta-wing flyer:

Sharovipteryx mirabilis is known from only a single fossil. It was about 8 inches long, weighed less than a tenth of a pound and lived during the late Triassic, a time when the first dinosaurs were still evolving. Scientists knew that S. mirabilis had a membrane stretched across its hind legs, which allowed it to glide, but the exact shape of this membrane and the way it was attached to the animal’s body has been debated.

In a new study, Gareth Dyke, a paleontologist at the University College Dublin in Ireland, and colleagues used wind-tunnel data from modern flying lizards and computer modeling to propose a new membrane configuration for S. mirabilis, one they say is unique because it is grounded in aerodynamics.

Scientists can now finally explain how the unusual steps at the Mammoth Hot Springs came to be:

Geologists have long been at a loss to explain the rocks’ unusual shapes, but physicists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign say they have figured out the answer.

Unlike most water-washed surfaces, the primary geological process shaping the Mammoth Hot Springs landscape is not erosion. The rocks there are actually growing — at the rate of one to five millimeters a day — as calcium carbonate in the water precipitates to form the mineral travertine.

Apparently, Mariah Carey is too hot for Saudi Arabia: the covers are touched up to make it less sexy. (This made the round on the Net a while ago…)

There’s a thief in Greencastle, Indiana, that’s obsessed with the letter R:

A consonant-loving thief has police and business owners baffled after dozens of Rs were stolen from signs around the community. "We’ve lost our Rs. And we want them back," said Randall Jones, president of Headley Hardware.

The weekend caper targeted gas stations, restaurants, repair shops and medical offices in the city of 10,000 people about 40 miles west of Indianapolis.

Here’s the kicker:

The thief also nabbed half a dozen letters from a lighted marquee in front of a National Guard post.
