“Insects with wingspans of more than two feet ruled the skies until 150 million years ago, when predatory birds evolved into skilled flying bug-zappers, according to a study.
The insects originally grew in tandem with rising oxygen levels until birds developed, the research found. The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, suggests the bugs then got smaller as a way to maneuver away from the avian predators.”

“They say it’s the chemo that’s killing my stomach, but nobody knows for sure. My chemo routine is pretty intense. From nine to five I sit in a chair in the doctor’s office and bag after bag of fluid is pumped into the port I had implanted in my chest. The port is a round rubber stick pad about the size of a quarter. A needle is stuck into it, allowing the chemicals to feed directly into a large artery near my heart. I sit there with a few other people who come and go. I’m there until much of the staff has left. Sometimes, there’s one person there who came in later in the day. When I leave, they attach a chemo pump to me that runs for 24 hours. I have to return the next day and have it removed.” — Jonathan’s Cancer Blog: No Food For You
