I suppose harder core comic book and Alan Moore fans than I already know this: but Alan Moore and Kevin O’Neill’s newest LOEG book came out this week.
Dolphins communicate like humans by calling each other by “name”, scientists in Fife have found.
The mammals are able to recognise themselves and other members of the same species as individuals with separate identities, using whistles.
St Andrews University researchers studying in Florida discovered bottlenose dolphins used names rather than sound to identify each other.
(via Lupa).
A 21-year-old man has been accused of using a toad to get high.
Clay County sheriff’s deputies said David Theiss, of Kansas City, possessed a Colorado River toad with the intention of using it as a hallucinogenic.
Experts said it’s possible to lick the toad’s venom glands to achieve psychedelic effects.

The toad is in custody at a police crime lab.

My first column for Alterati is up:
Maybe “you don’t haffi dread to be Rasta,†but do you have to be Rasta to dread? Or, more directly: is it ok for white people to have dreads? This was one of the questions my local paper, the Oregonian, posed to local dreads. Of course, some black people objected to whites wearing locks. When my friend at the paper told me about the story, I immediately regurgitated the myth that ancient Celts used to have locks. But when I noticed that Celts were omitted from the Oregonian’s dreadlock timeline, I got curious about the truth of this claim.
