HowStuffWorks: Are zebras black with white stripes or white with black stripes?

Studies of zebra embryos show that, early in development, they are black and they develop their white stripes later.

BBC Nature: Zebra stripes evolved to keep biting flies at bay

Many of you may know that Olympus Mons on the planet Mars is the largest mountain, and largest volcano, known to man. What you may not realize HOW large it is. Consider this to-scale artist rendering of Mt. Everest, Maxwell Montes (on Venus) and Olympus Mons






Everest would almost fit in the CRATER of Olympus Mons

mons (n.)
from Latin mons (plural montes) "mountain" (see mount (n.)); used in English in various anatomical senses, especially mons Veneris "mountains of Love," fleshy eminence atop the vaginal opening, 1690s; often mons for short.

So Olympus Mons must have been a major slut to be that wide open.

That pretty much all mobile phones can now be charged with any charger.

My sister let me use her BB charger to charge my S2 and my mind was blown. I am charging my Nexus 4 with my S2 charger. They all have the same connection thingy, when did this happen?

It's fantastic; brilliant news.
