Submission + - White House tape recycling possibly erased emails (washingtonpost.com) 1

Pojut writes: "The Washington Post has a story up that the White House has acknowledged via a court filing that they recycled backup media containing emails up until October of 2003. From the article:

"The disclosure raises the possibility that the White House effectively erased e-mail related to some of the biggest controversies of the Bush administration, including the leak of a CIA officer's name, the start of the Iraq war and the CIA's destruction of interrogation videotapes."

$20,000 for a toilet seat isn't too expensive, but $1000 for some more backup media is?"

Submission + - Chimps making weapons to hunt and kill for food

Pojut writes: "The Washington Post has an article involving chimps and weapons. Apparently, there have been direct observations of Chimps in the west African Savannah modifying sticks to create spears. They then use these spears to kill small mammals and eat them. It is the first time that an animal other than a human has been directly observed in crafting a weapon for the purpose of hunting or killing.
