pretty cool article on how there's potential to use what goes on in coral to make some sort of prescribed sunblock pill to take, in five years maybe. the end of the article starts to go another direction though and talk about genetically modifying food to be sun-resistant to be able to grow it in the tropics and other places it doesn't naturally.

this article is about how dolphins trap fish in big conch shells and then bring them up above the surface of the water to shake them out of the shell and into their mouth! insane! apparently they think that the dolphins are learning this technique from each other and the technique is spreading. even more insane!
