Sir David Attenborough and Ida
Visitors at the Natural History Museum in London may now see a cast of Ida (Darwinius masillae), a 47 million year fossil scientists believe is the link between primates and the rest of the mammals.
The cast was donated by the University of Oslo Natural History Museum. The original Ida was also at the NHM for a few hours last month where scientists had a look at the most complete ancient primate skeleton ever found.

mormon twitter cracked

Adding to the list of high profile Twitter targets hit by crackers is now Church of Latter Day Saints (@LDSChurchNews). Intruders microblogged that the inventor of their imaginary friend, Joseph Smith, was a liar (which he is). The account was taken down and it is yet unknown if it will ever come up again or if anyone will really miss it (I sure won’t).
Thanks to TheRegister.co.uk for the story. Read more about it on their website.
