A very strange fringe science piece that I'll talk about in a bit (see next link, one place up on my profile): somebody claims to have found an ancient stone circle under the Lake that, as one looks at it, doesn't seem very circular.
Thinking that somebody might be a little desperate to find something to publish..
A parody of environmental action sites, this is said to have fooled a fair number of the middle school students who saw it into thinking that they were reading about a real species.
The world is going to end in 2012. Again. This time, it's going to do so because 2012 is the time of an expected peak of solar activity, and never mind that such peaks have been coming on the average of about once every 11 years for ages without the apocalypse coming, so far.
This time, it's going to be different.
