The incident happened last week at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, England, which for decades has displayed a group of Qing dynasty Chinese vases on a window sill.

Warrior buried in attack position
Archaeologists have unearthed a 3,000-year-old skeleton of a man who appears to be clutching a dagger and is posed as though he were about to thrust the weapon into something, or someone, according to a Cultural Heritage News report from Iran.The unusual burial is the first of its kind for Iran, and possibly for the rest of the world.
“He is holding a 26-centimeter dagger and appears to be making a forward thrust,” said archaeologist Ali Mahforuzi, who led the excavation at Gohar Tepe, where the skeleton was found.
Gohar Tepe is located in northeastern Iran near the town of Behshahr and the Caspian Sea.

Columbus: Italian or Spanish?……Templar?
Scientists will attempt to determine the true nationality of Christopher Columbus by examining hundreds of samples of saliva and comparing them with the DNA from his son, Hernando.

Trouble waking up and feeling refreshed?
There are plenty of people out there that have the same problem I do…at least I hope there is. I just can’t seem to wake up in the morning. Once I actually get up and get out of bed I start functioning, but that simply task of swinging my feet from underneath the covers to the floor is the worst part, because I just feel like going back to sleep. I just don’t want to wake up. Well, maybe this nifty, probably slightly uncomfortable device will be beneficial to people like me.
Cool gadget that tracks your sleep cycle and helps you wake up feeling refreshed.
