Leonid Ksanfomaliti, an astronomer based at the Space Research Institute of Russia’s Academy of Sciences, analyzed photographs taken by a Russian landing probe during a 1982 — and while the 30 year lag in analyzing the data hints at some Vodka holidays, is there life out there? Ksanfomaliti says the Russian photographs depict objects resembling a “disk,” a “black flap” and a “scorpion.” This news can rock you like a hurricane.

While dolphins may have big brains, laboratory rats and goldfish can outwit them. It appears that the large brains are a function of their environment rather than intelligence.
"Dolphins have a superabundance of glia and very few neurons... The dolphin's brain is not made for information processing it is designed to counter the thermal challenges of being a mammal in water,"
I guess this means that the Navy will start recruiting and training goldfish for those mine search and destroy missions. I have always been afraid of the lab rats intelligence ever since Pinky and the Brain.
