  7. Tweets vs. phone calls

    Not so long ago, a man on an airplane was served a sandwich he didn't like. He used Twitter — the real-time personal news feed, if you didn't know — to alert the world to his displeasure.

  12. Researchers find fossil of a turtle that was size of a Smart car

    Excavating in a coal mine in Colombia, paleontologists have discovered the fossil of the world's largest turtle, a 60-million-year-old specimen nearly 8 feet long -- the size of a Smart car. Thriving in a lake about 5 million years after the demise of the dinosaurs, the turtle was undoubtedly the largest predator in its environment, researchers say. The creature had powerful jaws that would enable it to eat nearly anything else it encountered, including mollusks, smaller turtles and even crocodiles. The mine is the same one that yielded the fossil of the largest known snake, Titanoboa, suggesting that a number of massive creatures must have roamed the South American jungle during the period.
