[Link] | "The God Fossil" - researchers show that consistently, across cultures, belief in life after death is a trait children are mroe likely to have the younger they are. They're attempting to prove that religion is, in fact, a product of the evolution of the human brain.
It's interesting stuff.

[Link] | Genedupe: artificially cloning dragons.
"Readers with long memories may recall GeneDupe's previous attempt to break into the pet market, the Real Goldfish (see article). This animal was genetically engineered to deposit gold in its skin cells, for that truly million-dollar look. Unfortunately Dr Fril, a biologist, neglected to think about the physics involved. The fish, weighed down by one of the heaviest metals in existence, sank like a stone, as did the project. He is more confident about his new idea, though. Indeed, if he can get the dragons' respiration correct, he thinks they will set the world on fire."
Look carefully at the doctor's name.

EDIT: this is not current events. I didn't realise the date on the article was in 2004. This changes things somewhat.
