One of my biggest discoveries of 2009 is that the Philadelphia Parking Authority actually slaps masking tape on parking signs to expand the “no parking” times and tows cars slightly before the start time “to get an early start”. Yes, my car was towed.
Onto brighter news from NationalGeographic.com:
National Geographic News’s most popular coverage of 2009 scientific finds is swarming with megamouth sharks, giant snakes, a transparent-headed fish, and rare species rescued from obscurity—then eaten.
Oh, that’s unethical- you should be able to file a class-action law suite on this! Take lots of pictures.
On the science front: OMG- these are amazing and Colbert’s take on #2 is lmao material!
