Submission + - Actual Zombies in North-Eastern Cambodia. (myspace.com) 3

Talon705 writes: "A new strain of Malaria carried by mosquitoes in North-Eastern Cambodia has a 100% mortality rate. It kills within 2 days and then restarts the heart for about two hours, during which the infected act rather violently from a combination of brain damage and chemicals released in the brain during reanimation.

My thoughts: Holy freakin' piss! At least no one has said anything about the disease being transmitted through the infected ... just from those freakin' mosquitoes....

Submission + - Chernobyl Mushrooms Feeding on Radiation

cowtamer writes: According to a National Geographic Article certain fungi can use ionizing radiation to perform "radiosynthesis" using the pigment melanin (the same one in our skin that protects us from UV radiation). It is speculated that this might be useful on long space voyages where energy from the Sun is not readily available.
