So the North Pole is melting and polar bears are on the verge of extinction. Solution? Ship 'em off to the other pole, to Antarctica. Lame. Story in the full article.

Mars is all wet. Well, was wet at least. New evidence conclusively show that Mars once had vast regions brimming with water. Scientists even believe that the Martian environment was suitable for life. Story in the full article.

Deflecting a mass extinction-sized sized meteor may prove challenging enough for mankind, but the universe sometimes gets a fit and throws us a double whammy. Ever heard of a binary setup? That's when two asteroids fly in unison, orbiting each other, and such a system flew by not far away from us just recently. Details in the full article.

In the human brain's history of evolution, it's developed a decision-making sector that is used to make us react quickly in dangerous situations. However, we've come a long way from having to go head-to-head with a boar just to get food (although the cast of Lost beg to differ). Is our evolution on the path of losing this part of the brain? Will humans have smaller brains in the future? Ponder on in the full article.

We have approximately 25 days left to live. Well, depending on when you read this, and depending on when the scientists at CERN finally switch on the Large Hadron Collider, and depending on whether they were wrong about it being safe. At any rate, while we're still here, it's time for another edition of the Science Weekend Warrior!

According to a new report from Toward Freedom, the PlayStation 2's requirement of a metal called Tantalum helped fuel a war that caused the deaths of several million in the Congo. This event was labeled as the PlayStation War. Story in the full article.

Apparently, the secret to anti-gravity is not attaching toasted bread butter-side up to the back of a cat. The secret is (ta-dah!) ionized air, or if we want to be more smart about it, plasma. A professor at the University of Florida (who probably does not believe in the buttered-toast-and-cat setup) will be building his very own flying saucer from this principle and hopes to get it flying next year. Story in the full article.

I wasn't worried at all. Not at all. My fingernails just chewed themselves, in case anyone asks. The ignition of the Large Hadron Collider - which a lot of people believe can cause a black hole to appear and suck us all into a parallel dimension - has been delayed. You have one more month to enjoy life before the end of the world the launch. Story in the full article.

The Earth is old. Far older than we can imagine. It has a history of life we've only glimpsed here and there from fossil records and other clues. It was here long before we came, and will be here long after we're gone. There's no better reminder of this than seeing how vulnerable life on the planet really is. This week's Science Weekend Warrior is all about appreciating life on Earth.

Biofuels are more environment-friendly than fossil fuel, sure, but is it worth the price? According to a leaked report, Biofuel production has forced global food prices up by as much as 75%. When you use food to create gas instead of eating it, a tug-of-war was inevitable. Read more about it in the full article.
