    Well, you could use ground penetrating radar nowadays.

    Human Eggs Seem to Exhibit Preferences For Particular People's Sperm, Study Shows

    "After all that time and effort agonising over whether a potential partner even likes you, then trying to decide if they're the right person to take on the massive endeavour of parenthood with, your eggs can basically turn around and say "yeah, nah"."

    "Human eggs release compounds called chemoattractants into this fluid, which chemically communicates with sperm. While the exact chemicals are yet to be identified (some researchers suspect progesterone is involved), whatever it is can trigger sperm to change swimming directions."

    Brings to mind "Swimmer in the Secret Sea" by William Kotzwinkle. (Blast from the past.)

    My boys were Olympians always looking to get me in trouble...I'll leave it at that.

    Strangely enough, not pirates or porn.

    Still interesting.


    Black hole bounty captured at center of Milky Way galaxy in NASA image


    "Astronomers have found evidence for thousands of black holes near the center of the Milky Way galaxy using data from NASA’s Chandray X-ray Observatory.

    According to NASA, this bounty of black holes consists of stellar-mass black holes, which tend to weight between five to 30 times the mass of our sun."

    The more we know, the more we know we don't know.

    Impossible, they said.

    "Hold my beer", the universe said.

    This Giant Severed Wolf Head From 40,000 Years Ago Was Unearthed in Siberia

    "The giant head, discovered by a local man in 2018 along the shores of the Tirekhtyakh River in the Russian Republic of Sakha (aka Yakutia), measures a whole 40 centimetres in length (about 16 inches), making it unlike any existing wolf specimen scientists have studied from so long ago."

    You know that they're going to extract DNA and then things may get interesting.
    If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.
