The giant deer, also known as the giant Irish deer or Irish elk, is one of the largest deer species that ever lived. Wiped out by starvation and lack of affordable health care!
New Mysteries of the Turin Shroud Unveiled. As usual, there are lots of wild and whacky stories out there in the world of Spooks n'Kooks! Some that are somewhat believable, some unbelievably stupid, and some that are downright intriguing! Washington Rebel's Spook of the Week:
Mysterious Dark Flow Extends Toward Edge of the Universe Around here we call that 'Democratic reading habits', or, 'prospects of the Hockey Stick', but get this:
SOMETHING big is out there beyond the visible edge of our universe. That's the conclusion of the largest analysis to date of over 1000 galaxy clusters streaming in one direction at blistering speeds. Some researchers say this so-called "dark flow" is a sign that other universes nestle next door.
Last year, Sasha Kashlinsky of the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, and colleagues identified an unusual pattern in the motion of around 800 galaxy clusters. They studied the clusters' motion in the "afterglow" of the big bang, as measured by the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP). The photons of this afterglow collide with electrons in galaxy clusters as they travel across space to the Earth, and this subtly changes the afterglow's temperature.
Mm mmm! What else is cookin' in the Whirlgigimata of Spooks and Kooks?
