"Scientists have discovered four new species of super-tiny chameleons in Madagascar, according to a new paper in PLoS ONE. The smallest of the new species, Brookesia micra, is found only on the small island of Nosy Hara and has been dubbed the smallest chameleon in the world, measuring from nose to tail 29 millimeters (1.14 inches) at its largest. Scientists believe it represents a notable example of island dwarfism. "The extremely small size of Brookesia micra could represent a 'double' island dwarf effect. In this scenario, Madagascar as a large island led to the evolution of the Brookesia minima group whereas the [...] islet Nosy Hara, might have favored the extreme miniaturization found in Brookesia micra," the researchers write. However they note it is also possible, given the shallowness of the sea between Nosy Hara and Madagascar, that populations of Brookesia micra survive on the mother island. With these four new species, scientists have catalogued 26 Brookesia chameleons in...

Weekend recap: Bad things. Truck wouldn't start so home depot run missed and 3 hours wasted. Sump pump hose blew off in face covering head to toe with muddy water. Grammy's didn't even start till 8pm though they were almost within walking distance close to us at 5 - lame.
Good things. Took 2.9 year old battery from truck back to costco - full refund/exchange for new battery. Finished the pumping post shower, one less lake gone from not draining yard. Got to open mom's gift of their grandparents belongings including Delpht plates and clocks the uncle picked up in WWI on the USS Indianapolis on a stop in dutch-landia, Great great grandma's china doll from 1820 with real pearls, vase from 1867.

It wasn't that bad edythe because I was re-purposing a sump pump so i was using it to drain the lake of stagnant water that had formed in my backyard construction zone. So no actual sumps were pumped but I did get caked in clay soil water.

My wife posted "I can't breathe." as her status on facebook and a couple of her friends completely freaked out: Friend # 1--i can call janet and have her call an ambulance if you really need it ... calling janet...// Friend # 2-- Oh my, really?????? Where is she??????
Friend #1-- it's been eight minutes... my cousin janet is friends with joy in the same area... so hopefully janet will get my message soon and check on joy. ... i don't think joy would joke about this... not for this long...
