You like science! You need science! You will read science! That is, if you follow these links.

* The scientific root of "You look like a 'Bob'": Because some people look like a 'Bob' more than they look like a 'Tim' or a 'Chet,' and you've always known it to be true. Now they have proof. Science, it's weird sometimes.

* You know that a meteor probably killed the dinosaurs -- but did one kill off the mastadons, too? A new theory suggests a big space rock that blew up over North America may have done in the massive beasts... and, incidentally, some early American civilizations, too. Stupid space rocks.
