VIT B3 from outer space?
As you next reach for a pack of
vitamin B3 to sell, spare a thought
for its origins.
NASA-funded researchers
have identified traces of vitamin
B3 in carbon-rich meteorites,
supporting a theory that the
origin of life may have been
assisted by key molecules created
in space and brought to Earth by
comet and meteor impacts.
Researchers dismiss the concept
of vitamin B3 coming from extraterrestial
life such as ET, but admit
that it does occur naturally in
carbon rich meteors that have
been in contact with water.
YOU are what you eat.
An apparently hungry female
albino western hognose snake
was found writhing in a hoop
formation in a water dish as it
appeared to be devouring itself.
The unusual behaviour, clearly
not conducive to gene replication,
is known to occur in sick animals
unaware of what they are doing
reported the UK Telegraph.
The western hognose snake
usually lives on small rodents and
is found throughout the Great
Plains states of North America
from Canada to Mexico.
IT’S congenital.
It’s unlikely to be an inherited
family health problem, but
Michelangelo’s David is
apparently in danger of falling
over due to weak ankles.
No ballet for the 500 year old
work of art, then.
Italy’s National Research
Council and Florence University
have said the hordes of tourists
visiting the statue every day
over several hundred years, as
well as nearby regular traffic,
has caused structural damage to
Michelangelo’s famous sculpture,
the Independent reported.
Replicas of David’s ankles were
made for testing,with microfractures
appearing in the left
ankle and the weight-supporting
tree stump, the publication said.
