X-Men-Wolverine-like claws found in nature
« on: June 25, 2008, 00:07:21 »
Eleven different species of frogs have been found in Africa to have claws that pierce through the frogs for attacking.

"The fact that those claws work by cutting through the skin of the frogs' feet is even more astonishing. These are the only vertebrate claws known to pierce their way to functionality."

See http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25346676/?GT1=43001 for the full story.

"Hello IT. Have you tried turning it off and on again? ... OK, well, the button on the side. Is it glowing?... Yeah, you need to turn it on. Err, the button turns it on. Yeah, you do know how a button works, don't you? No, not on clothes." - Roy (The IT Crowd)
