Man's best friend probably understands him well enough

All you dog owners, this suggests that your dog might really understand what your saying. Scientists in Berlin, Germany have conducted an experiment where they had to teach 13 dogs to lie motionless while they're being scanned and hearing their owners via headphones. The test suggests that it not only matters what you say to your dog, but also how you say it.

Real Life Pokemon!?

Listen up, pokemon fans! Scientists have now discovered a type of sea slug that looks quite a bit like pikachu. And that's not all. If you search "pokemon sea slugs" you'll get images of at least two other slug pokemon look-alikes. They were found near Japan, the same place where pokemon came from. So maybe the sea slugs were the inspiration for pikachu, not the mouse as Americans once thought (and by the way, I think that dedenne was inspired by the mouse. It looks a lot more like a mouse than pikachu!).
