Writing Messages In Empty Space With GPS

meiocyte writes: "This New Scientist story about leaving messages in empty space seems very cool. You upload a message (or perhaps a picture, audio clip, etc.), it gets tagged with your GPS coordinates, and then anyone else who goes there gets to see/hear it.

    "Like most birds, the reproductive cycle before the courting displays. Once individuals acquire mates, the pair initiates copulations after a series of displays. The reproductive structures in penguins do not differ extensively from those of other avian families. All birds reproduce sexually: males transfer sperm to the female through the cloaca. During copulation, the event of contact between the two cloacas is known as the cloaca kiss."
