Who Needs Sex When You Can Steal DNA?
WASHINGTON, May 29, 2008 — Tiny freshwater organisms that have amazed scientists because of their sex-free lifestyle may have survived so well because they steal genes from other creatures, scientists reported on Thursday.

They found genes from bacteria, fungi and even plants incorporated into the DNA of bdelloid rotifers — minuscule animals that appear to have given up sex 40 million years ago.

“Bdelloid rotifers are small freshwater invertebrates that apparently lack sexual reproduction and can withstand desiccation at any life stage,” Irina Arkhipova and Matthew Meselson of Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts and colleagues wrote in a report in the journal Science.

They spring back into action after being dried out and also resist radiation.

Their resilience is surprising, given that sex is used by an overwhelming majority of life forms to cope with changing circumstances, by allowing organisms to get useful new genes and ditch harmful, mutated ones.

The translucent, waterborne creatures, which range in size from 0.004 inch to 0.04 inch long (0.1 mm to 1 mm), lay eggs, but all their offspring are female. So Meselson’s team looked at their DNA to see how they manage to survive.

Evidently, they steal.

“In bdelloid rotifers we found many genes that appear to have originated in bacteria, fungi, and plants,” they wrote.

“These fascinating animals not only have relaxed the barriers to incorporation of foreign genetic material, but, more surprisingly, they even managed to keep some of these alien genes functional,” Arkhipova said in a statement.

Understanding how the animals acquire and make use of these new genes could have implications for medicine. Genetic mutations, which occur constantly in any living organism, underlie cancer, heart disease and various other diseases.

Hungarian escape artist David Merlini attempts to break the world record for the longest time under water without air at the Magic Castle in Hollywood, California Oct. 9, 2007. Merlini, who was chained and handcuffed under water in a glass tank, abandoned his attempt after one minute and 12 seconds due to cold water

Giant skeleton of enormous dimensions,resembling to the description of the character of Ghadotkach in Mahabharata, was excavated in some unknown desert in India. There was also a photograph of the skeleton with two investigators standing nearby. 

A shiv (from the Romani word chiv) is a slang term for a sharp or pointed implement used as an improvised knife-like weapon. The shiv is the favored weapon of inmates in prisons across the world. It is infamous for its versatility - a shiv can be anything from a glass shard with cloth wrapped around one end to form a handle, to a razorblade stuck in the end of a toothbrush, to a sharpened spoon. Some inmates have even sharpened the ends of pork chop bones to make them into weapons
