Mushroom that eats plastic

Both polyurethane and styrofoam are not biodegradable, so without a solution, all the plastic bottles and old toys we throw out every year will be sitting in landfills for centuries. The Yale students had discovered that Pestalotiopsis microspora fungus can break down plastic. Pestalotiopsis microspora is a species of endophytic fungus capable of breaking down and digesting polyurethane.The fungi, Pestalotiopsis microspora, is the first anyone has found to survive on a steady diet of polyurethane alone and--even more surprising--do this in an anaerobic (oxygen-free) environment that is close to the condition at the bottom of a landfill. Pestalotiopsis microspora, found in the jungles of Ecuador.

rooster lived for 18 months without a head

This story began in 1945, in Fruita Colorado, when farmer Lloyd Olsen acting upon instructions from his wife, selected a plump bird to eat for supper. It was off to the chopping block for poor old Mike. Lloyd skillfully chopped the poor bird's head off, and watched as Mike fluttered about as most freshly beheaded poultry tend to do.

Mike was quite the fighter and continued to flutter about for a long time. He eventually decided to calm down and put this unpleasant episode behind him and just continue on living as a decapitated animal. Lloyd found him the next morning sleeping beside his head. Well, how could anyone kill an animal that had accepted his fate with such equinamity?

Mike was taken to the University of Utah in Salt Lake City and examined by scientists. Apparently most of Mike's brain stem had been left attached to the body, and thus he was left with his motor skills. A fortuitous blood clot had formed at exactly the right time to prevent the bird from bleeding to death. From then on, Lloyd devoted a lot of his time to feeding Mike grain and water through an eye dropper and went on tour with the bird all around America.  He became quite the side-show attraction, earning quite a bit of money for the Olsens. This rooster lived for 18 months without a head, and only passed on due to an unfortunate incident revolving around a misplaced eye dropper in a motel in Arizona.

Apparently Mike lived a pretty happy life, strutting around and scrabbling in the dirt as normal roosters do. He didn't really seem to miss his head all that much at all. A recent telephone conversation that I had with a local mortgage broker brought the story of Mike the headless chicken to the forefront of my mind. This broker also seems to be able to lead a perfectly normal and happy life and does quite well without the aid of a functioning brain. I think science is able to explain this phenomenon.

Largest Jellyfish Lions Mane

Roya Abdolhosini one leg cheerleader

Roya, a 21-year-old third year students of architectural engineering at Victoria University, was born missing her left leg. Against the advice of doctors, she took up gymnastics as a teenager and hasn't looked back. Occasionally, it takes her a little longer to master a stunt as she delicately balances on the one leg, but for the most part she is the one pushing other team members to perform. "I like a challenge. I've been serious about cheerleading since I started. I don't stop halfway."

Roya is part of the university's new cheerleading squad, the VU Vipers.

The Vipers came together early last year and under the leadership of coach Natalie Commons they're ready to shake up the growing cheerleading scene. This month they claimed their first victory at the Australian Showdown Championships at Melbourne's Sports and Aquatics Centre.

At the championships, Roya performed a "tumble roll" - a cheerleading move that demands a high degree of co-ordination, skill and strength - to a thunderous round of applause.

The squad members are all VU students, and Natalie Commons says the Vipers are an inclusive bunch. "No matter what your skill level you can come and we will teach you the skills you need to participate. If we get enough people to get two squads we can have a try-out system where people with higher skills can go into a higher squad and the others can train to reach that level."

green lake tragoess austria

There is a place in Austria that is a dry park in the Winter, and a 10m deep lake in the summer!

Located at the foot of the Hochschwab Mountains, in Tragoess, Styria, Green Lake is one of the most bizarre natural phenomena in the world. During the cold winter months, this place is almost completely dry, and used as a country park where hikers love to come and spend some time away from urban chaos. But as soon as temperatures rise, the snow and ice covering the mountaintops begin to melt, and the water pours down, filling the basin below with crystal-clear water.

Water levels go from one-two meters at most, to over 10 meters, in the early summer. The waters of Green Lake are highest in June, when this extraordinary place is invaded by divers, curious to see what a mountain park looks like underwater. Fish swimming over wooden benches, a grass-covered bottom, trees, roads, roads and even bridges create a surreal setting that feels like it belongs on dry ground. That’s because for half of the year, that’s exactly where it’s at.
