But yesterday, claims that the legendary beast really does exist took a giant step forward. Scientists have used microscopes to analyse of strands of hair found caught on some rocks in jungle near the India-Bangladesh border...

Star light, star bright. The first star grew fast, but began slight. The first cosmological object formed in the universe was a tiny protostar with a mass of about 1 percent of our sun, according to U.S. and Japanese researchers who spent years developing a complex computer simulation of what it was like after the Big Bang that formed the universe...
Durham's 'gorilla'
Was it really a bear? A hippie? A costumed hooligan? 35 years ago, something funky had this town talking. Young bike-riding friends were the first to see it: something big, hairy, scary. After one mom saw it, too - she described an ape peeking out from behind bushes - 30 police cars circled Durham with orders to shoot...

By now, you're certainly have had nightmares about the Montauk Monster story that Gawker broke on Tuesday. Is it a turtle missing its shell? A dog thrown in the ocean by its evil owner? A nutria?

She states that it was around 7PM in the evening and clear...

Scientists exploring caves in the bone-dry and mostly barren Atacama Desert in Chile stumbled upon a totally unexpected discovery this week: water.

Spirits in Ontario museum speak to researchers
For all you nay-sayers, there may be some basis to the notion that Owen Sound's Billy Bishop Museum is haunted. Recently, a team of paranormal investigators set up camp in the museum to see if they could record evidence of anything out of the ordinary.
