Man Says JetBlue Airways Made Him Sit on Toilet for 3 Hours

A New York City man is suing JetBlue Airways Corp. for more than $2 million because he says a pilot made him give up his seat to a flight attendant and sit on the toilet for more than three hours on a flight from California.

What are the best and worst times to post that gem of a blog item? The answer is early to mid-afternoon, but never on Monday, according to a statistical analysis conducted by one blogger/programmer. Time part makes sense, but are Mondays really a blogger’s Bermuda Triangle? If so, why?

Thursday at noon (PST) is the best time post and be noticed. It's happened to me a few times; I stay up late working on a great post and finish at 1 a.m. EST. In a rush of excitement I decide to submit it to reddit or del.icio.us and…

After 112 Years: The Dwarf Cloud Rat Rediscovered

A team of Filipino and American scientists have rediscovered a highly distinctive mammal — a greater dwarf cloud rat — that was last seen 112 years ago. Furthermore, it has never before been discovered in its natural habitat and was thought by some to be extinct.
