Weapon Found in Whale Dated From the 1800s
LABarr writes "AP and CNN are carrying a story that has forced scientists to re-evaluate the longevity of mammals. A bowhead whale caught off the Alaskan coast last month had a weapon fragment embedded in its neck that showed it survived a similar hunt over a century ago. 'Embedded deep under its blubber was a 3½-inch arrow-shaped projectile that has given researchers insight into the whale's age, estimated between 115 and 130 years old. The bomb lance fragment, lodged in a bone between the whale's neck and shoulder blade, was likely manufactured in New Bedford, on the southeast coast of Massachusetts, a major whaling center at that time. It was probably shot at the whale from a heavy shoulder gun around 1890.' "

For a long time if I saw an interesting Slashdot story, I knew it was inevitable that it would end up on the frontpage of Digg.
This is the first time I've seen it in reverse.

If gun ownership in the US played a role in the rest of the world's environment/safety then your context would make sense. But since we're only killing ourselves, they really don't care.
Your mind looks a little cramped. Why don't you stretch it a little?
