ReplyDeleteI think the equation of cat-motion shows that no human is going to understand cats... The 'Lost City' under the sea is very interesting; so much we don't know yet, or haven't seen. Though the article on Sharja al-Durr is interesting, she clearly wasn't a sultana regnant, but ruled as regent for her son. Nonetheless, an intelligent and commanding person. And identifying Jack the Ripper based on an amateur's analysis of blood from a shawl? One hundred per cent? I think this may be science's equivalent of eye witness testimony. It seems perfect, but...
