Hi All,
 
PHDcomics.com is mostly academic humor but they do these short videos talking 
with experts in their field.  So here's one about bacteria that gets into caves 
a little.
 
Enjoy,

There must be more to the story than that NC publicist wrote. Why  
would The Nature Conservancy spend $300,000 to make another cave for  
gray bats to die of WNS in?--Mixon

That story came out last year some time.  In one of the 
videos or other promotional materials they explained how the cave 
could be disinfected when bats were not in residence.  Presumably 
this prevents a sufficient level of fungus from building up to damage bats.

I am at a car dealership in Houston, and they have something new from an
auto company called Oreion Motors, called, the Reeper.

I would call it a 4x4 upscale modern dune-buggy.  Has rear engine,
(liquid-cooled, with dual-overhead cam.). Advertised as a UTV, or utility
vehicle.

It is street legal, but has a top speed of 25 mph.  Comes with a tiny front
winch, tube-bumpers, tow-hooks, tow-hitch, roll-bar, etc.

The 5-speed manual transmission supposedly has a low 1st gear.

It would be a ton of fun up high in the Sierra Madres.

Has knobby trail tires.

The 3 cylinder 812 cc engine is a Chevy related product.  It has disc
brakes, front and back.

It seems to be meant for yuppies, but a caver could gerry-rig it into a
real speleo-vehicle.

It is smaller than a Suzuki Samarai, but bigger than most ATVs, and looks
like it has more off-road capability with standard factory features.

Price: $ 12,500

I think there is a turbo option, and an option for different tires.

 Students in an advanced Biology class were taking their mid-term exam. The 
 last question was, 'Name seven advantages of Mother's Milk.' The question 
 was worth 70 points or none at all.
 
 One student, in particular, was hard put to think of seven advantages 
 However, he wrote:
 
 1) It is perfect formula for the child.
 2) It provides immunity against several diseases. 
 3) It is always  the right temperature. 
 4) It is inexpensive. 
 5) It bonds the child to mother, and vice versa. 
 6) It is always  available as needed.
 And then the student was

I heard that Bob died this morning. We should all celebrate his life  
by going caving, cooking something delicious, drinking a tasty irish

Bob was one of the most truly ethical people I have ever met!
Always there when people (or animals) needed help.
We should all strive to be more like Bob Cowell.
