Half a BILLION-year-old brains of terrifying sea monsters related to today's spiders and insects are found perfectly preserved in Greenland

Unlike the human brain, which has three segments, the fossilised brains of these predators only had a single segment.
Researchers say the animal would have been up to 10 inches (25cm) long.

Mail journalists must be easily terrified.

The whole island of Sicily is creeping towards the Mediterranean...

I kno I only got 'O' level jograffy, but isn't the whole island of Sicily already in the Mediterranean?

Our universe could be DESTROYED abruptly in a collision with a bubble of negative energy, warn scientists - and the process may have already started

But a new study suggests the end will come with a bang, rather than a whimper, in around 10x139 years.

Is this from yesterday? In 1390 years all the negative waves (cf Oddball in Kelly's Heroes) emanating fro brexiteers and assorted mailites will destroy the universe?

Oh, for the love of a carat...

Half way to space: Virgin Galactic's Unity spaceship blasts off on record 114,500ft test flight - 213,500ft from the edge of the atmosphere - as Sir Richard Branson says he hopes to go into orbit 'within months'

I doubt it. I'm sure he knows the difference between being in space and being in orbit.

They'd raise a lot more money for the project if they hired Katie Hopkins and had a whip-round to send her into orbit.

Your circuit's dead there's nothing wrong

It's all going exactly as planned

They'd raise a lot more money for the project if they hired Katie Hopkins and had a whip-round to send her into orbit.

The risk however is that she'd somehow smuggle her mobile phone on board and still have access to Twitter, with a spokesperson saying "This is the one thing we didn't want to happen".

Space is now measured in feet?

How does that work with Han Solo and the Kessel Run?

[Big Arnold]

I can't remember the official height where the atmosphere ends and space starts, but the craft got about half way. I'm still not convinced it can make the full distance.
