Beaver Dam Visible From Space

Posted by samzenpus on from the dam-big-job dept.

ygslash writes "The Hoover Dam no longer holds the title of the world's widest dam. Satellite photos of northern Alberta, Canada, show that several families of beavers have apparently joined forces to build a dam 850 meters wide, more than twice as wide as the Hoover Dam."

    "Damn them all, damn them all to hell!" Remember when Star Trek was considered revolutionary by the public. Now we're debating who has the best beavers. What use is the Sat data really worth in the hands of closed minded people? The standard that Star Trek rebelled against was the separate and unequal society that paid for the shows ad revenue. That is why it was canceled. Not due to actors walking off set. Gene rebelled against the mentality of Fox and right wing dogmas. Just ask Wil Weaton I'm sure he's on here several times a week.
