Throw out your old anatomy
and physiology text books - they
are now officially out of date.
The human body now has a
79th organ according to Science
Alert, with the mesentry, which attaches the
intestine to the abdomen and
itself, now understood to be not a
series of multiple structures, but a
self-contained structure, meeting
the definition of an organ,
according to the Irish Examiner.
So learning all those 79 organs
of the body has become
fractionally more difficult -
something of a pain in the gut,
you might say.
Messa ge in an egg-shell, as
opposed to a message in a bottle
- such was the experience of
the German North Sea island of
Langeoog when it appeared an
over-enthusiastic Easter bunny
had brought Easter to them a little
early last week.
A bounty of colourful plastic
eggs containing tiny toys was
swept ashore after a fierce storm,
bringing smiles to the local
children who couldn’t wait to
plunder the booty as quickly as
possible.
The eggs containing instructions
in the Cyrillic alphabet appear to
have come from a container lost
by a cargo ship en route for the
German port of Bremerhaven,
reports Yahoo! News.
