Posted by Zonk on from the squeak-squeak dept.

IZ Reloaded writes "A new species of rodent has been discovered by World Conservation Society researcher Dr. Robert Timmins. He found this creature in a hunter's market in Central Laos. The creature known as Kha-Nyou to the locals is so unique it represents an entire new family of wildlife. Kha-Nyou diverged from other rodents millions of years ago."

    Which part of that is discovering, again? Next, the US will be discovering Canada, a quaint variant of US society that diverged decades ago.

    Well, According to the WWE (formally WWF) they didn't have a problem changing their name, since it was more inline with their new image (as Wrestling Masters of the World, or should I say, Sports Entertainment, which takes the form of stage violence in a homo erotic wrestling setting)
