Actually, "Icarus" (or rather "ICARVS") is the Latin form of his name, see e.g. Ovid's Metamorphoses. "Ikaros" is a direct transliteration of the original Greek form.
One of them was a baby, according to this article:
For now, it's not clear how long these marine genes have been living inside the bowels of the Japanese. People might only gain the genes after eating lots and lots of sushi but Hehemann has some evidence that they could be passed down from parent to child. One of the people he studied was an unweaned baby girl, who had clearly never eaten a mouthful of sushi in her life. And yet, her gut bacteria had a porphyranase gene, just as her mother's did. We already known that mums can pass on their microbiomes to their children, so if mummy's gut bacteria can break down seaweed carbs, then baby's bugs should also be able to.
The Nazgul didn't get flying mounts in the beginning because they weren't going into combat. They were moving, to the extent possible, in secret. They didn't need flying lizard things, and if they had set out on flying lizard things in the first place, then everyone within sight of their flight path would have been immediately alerted to their actions.
But Tolkien's notes said that the idea of mounting Nazgul on the Fell Beasts was completely new at the time of the War of the Ring (these still-unpublished notes, kept at Marquette University, are excerpted in Hammond and Scull's The Lord of the Rings: A Reader's Companion).
In fact, the only reason our first ten Constitutional amendments are nicknamed the "Bill of Rights" is by analogy with the original, English Bill of Rights. (Just as the United States Postal Service is commonly called "the Post Office", or one cent is called a "penny".)
I'm not sure I agree with your premise; the mourning was worldwide as I recall, and not just an American phenomenon. (Much as it was years earlier for the Soyuz 11 cosmonauts, or years later for Princess Diana.)
i love ursula k leguin. in fact, i noticed cameron ripped her off with the "every plant is a node in a giant neural network" idea in avatar. it was a short story of hers, i forget the name, and she played it like a horror movie instead.
This is an extreme example, of course, but it shows a real problem: if enough people believe even relatively mild conspiracy theories about flu vaccines, then they'll refuse to get vaccinated and public health -- something it's the government's job to promote and maintain -- will suffer.
Do you mean Titanoboa cerrejonesis? If so, the linked article (from February) could serve as TFA — maybe that wouldn't be old news by Slashdot standards.
This is actually a quote from Testimony: the memoirs of Dmitri Shostakovich. It should be noted that questions have been raised about the book's authenticity, for which see the linked Wikipedia article.

Nonsense! For example, a real human could never mishear the phrase "guide dog" as "gay dog" and refuse to let a dog into a restaurant.
That was the second thing I thought of – the first was "polywater".

You are obviously a shill for the Lumber Cartel!
Erik Klemetti's Eruptions blog has a recent post called Eyjafjallajökull flight cancellations: How the right decision is being made to look wrong defending the decision to cancel, with much discussion in the comments section. (IMO, that blog's recent series of posts on the Iceland situation has been the best place to read about the eruption.)

OneLook just gave me six hits for "greengrocer's apostrophe" but only two for "greengrocers' apostrophe".
There is actually some controversy about Legolas's hair color; one line from The Hobbit does imply that his father, at least, had "golden" hair.
You aren't by any chance referring to the Unicorn Tapestries? If so, the mathematicians involved were the Chudnovsky brothers.
I believe that grandparent is indeed referring to mother and fetus.
Rayleigh scattering.
"Water ice" isn't redundant in this context; it's used by astronomers to distinguish frozen water from other ices, such as frozen CO2.
Well, not exactly.

So don't you think we'll score an own goal with ACTA?
Sounds like a version of this urban legend.

Oh noes! Them pointy-headed scientists have discovered that the Bernoulli effect isn't (entirely) what keeps an airplane in the air! Now we're all going to die the next time we fly!!!U+203C!!!

This has already happened, with polio vaccination in Nigeria.
lime is what's mostly used to break up the proteins on the kernel to produce vitamin B12
Did you mean vitamin B3 (niacin)? B12 doesn't have too many vegetable sources (although it does have microbial sources).
