Construction workers in the southern China city of Heyuan noticed something unusual in the ground -a stash of dinosaur eggs...43 in total. The discovery is an addition to an already impressive collection of dinosaur eggs discovered in the city, which prides itself  as the 'Home of Dinosaurs'.

  9. This is slightly off topic, but related to the discovery of so many dinosaur eggs. Now that scientists have the complete DNA of the Woolly Mammoth, I'm curious as to how they'll use it.

    I'd never heard of Loretta Lynch, but what a wonderful accomplishment she has to her credit!

    Being Swiss-Italian by heritage, it makes me quite "happy" to discover my relatives come from there.
