Gathering of Planets
On March 22nd, if you find some clear skies after sundown, you're in for a show that doesn't happen very often. Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn and Jupiter will all be in the sky, and they will all be viewable by eye. This won't happen again until 2008, so if you miss it, you've got four years to wait. Check out the NASA site for the best viewing times, and where to look.
Inner Cow
This has got to be one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen. Researchers cut holes into the sides of cows and insert an cannula, which allows access to a live animals stomach. These holes are so big, you can actually see what's going on inside -- literally, reach into the stomach of a cow. Cows stomach have millions microbes that aid in digestion, and surprisingly, cannulated cows are usually the healthiest of the herd. You would think that walking around with a hole in your stomach would be bad for you, but apparently not. Some farmers apparently keep cannulated cows in their herd so they can serve as microbe donors to sick cows. Just bizarre. [Source: Oddity Central ]
