24 October 2006 JAKARTA, Indonesia - A strong earthquake rattled central Indonesia on Tuesday, a meteorological agency said, but there were no immediate reports of damage or casualties.
The 6.1-magnitude temblor was centered in Sangihe, an island 360 kilometers (223 miles) northeast of North Sulawesi's provincial capital Manado, the U.S. Geological Survey said on its Web site. |

That's the new theory on Earth's last major extinction, from a Princeton University paleontologist. If correct, her research makes extinct the science community's most common extinction theory. Comment: If it happened once, it could happen again.

Independent Apollo drew his bow and fired arrow after arrow into the deadly pythondragon guarding the sacred ground of Ge, the goddess of the earth. With his victory, Apollo gained the right to call the slopes of Delphi his earthly sanctuary.
It is a beautiful myth. Out of it grew the story of the Oracle of Delphi, a soothsayer who inhaled the breath of Apollo. The Pythia, the priestess who sat on a tripod inhaling fumes from the bowels of the earth, went into trances and muttered incomprehensible phrases, helpfully interpreted by her priestly assistants. The Oracle at Delphi is one of several myths now being investigated by geologists to see whether such stories have any basis in fact. The relatively new science of ge-omythology could provide rational explanations for mythical events. But studying elements of a myth may also lead to new insights or discoveries in geology - a science that took its name from that same goddess, Ge. |
