"Photostat of the Zimmermann Telegram as received by the German ambassador to Mexico (Jan. 19, 1917)

In the midst of World War I, German Foreign Minister Arthur Zimmermann sent an encoded message to the President of Mexico proposing a military alliance against the United States. In return for Mexican support in the war, Germany would help Mexico regain New Mexico, Texas, and Arizona from the United States. The British intercepted the secret message, deciphered it, and turned it over to the U.S. Government."

-- I will love you more if you actually knew of the existence of this telegram before seeing this post. Just let me know your name, so that I can adjust my affections levels appropriated.

-- The facial expressions are spot on, but they seem have held back on the graphics... Hopefully the final product, or at least the PC version takes care of that!

Fossil hunters have uncovered the remains of an ancient marine ecosystem that arose in the aftermath of the most devastating mass extinction in Earth's history.

The spectacular haul of 20,000 fossils from a hillside in southwestern China represents the first discovery of a complete ecosystem which bounced back after life was nearly wiped off the face of the planet 252m years ago.

The beautifully preserved remains include molluscs, sea urchins and arthropods, alongside much larger animals that occupied the top of the food chain, such as carnivorous fish and the first icthyosaurs, predatory marine reptiles that grew to four metres long.

Among the remnants are rare fragments of land life that survived the same period, including part of a conifer plant and the tooth of an archosaur reptile.

"Steam-fired Navy planes are so passe. Over the weekend, the Navy used a huge electric charge to catapult a manned flight into the air.

Naval aviation officials are tight-lipped about the test launch for now and we don’t know if the test went according to plan. But Danger Room has confirmed that the Navy’s experimental Electromagnetic Aviation Launch System completed tests on Saturday and Sunday of the deck catapult of the future from its test-bed home at Lakehurst, New Jersey. That’s somewhat behind schedule from reports indicating EMALS was supposed to provide a manned flight launch by the fall. We’re told to await a full roll-out of the test results, possibly later today.

What’s the advantage of the so-called EMALS? If it works as manufacturer General Atomics intends, the power provided through EMALS is more easily adjustable than steam catapults, allowing it to launch everything from fighter jets to small drones — steam isn’t good for launching smaller aircraft — all with less wasted energy. Supposedly it can recharge faster than steam, allowing more rapid launching. The system will draw its power from the generators aboard its next-generation Ford-class aircraft carrier, which the Navy wants commissioned by September 2015 despite recent cost over-runs..."
