Tuatara reptile slices food with 'steak-knife teeth'

http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/18249270

Since the discovery of the Tuatara reptile, scientist have been puzzled at how the lizard has been adapting to the changing environments over the past 200 million years. Scientists have discovered that the lizard chews like a saw instead of the up and down like most other animals.

This is very cool, imagine chewing your steak like your sawing it up. Humans need to adapt this aspect.  

Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms at 30

Thirty years ago on April 17, 1982. Queen Elizabeth proclaimed in force the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. A key element of the new Constitution Act. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms has been a national help but has also been apposed by other federal parties as well.  The Canadian Charter supports many different levels of life such as abortion, same sex marriage and many more. The Charter has done much more good than bad, and will hopefully continue to do more good.

Yes I think the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is very important to the way we Canadian citizens live, and I fully support it in the way it runs.

Google patents its augmented reality Project Glass

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-18091697

The search giant Google has patented the technology behind its argumented-reality glasses, know as Project glass. These new "wearable display glasses" are able to display data in front of the users, and is also able to project audio. Besides displaying information about the users surroundings, the glasses in a demo (Google released) shows being able to communicate with other people, browse the web, listen to music, and also take photos.

These glasses seem pretty cool, but also seem to be able to do the same things as a smart phone today can do. These glasses also appear to not be the most stylish thing to wear on your body, and the good thing about the smart phone is that you don't have to wear it.
