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.

Here's a switch: Chimps in the dense jungles of Congo seem to have gotten tired if being preyed upon by lions, leopards and other big cats, so they decided to eat the big cats instead.

It may be hard to believe stories chronicled by the area's natives about giant chimps howling at the moon and preying on deadly predators, but biologists and animal trackers from the University of Amsterdam were able to get to the truth and they discovered a lot of strange new things.

Once thought of as a hybrid of gorillas and chimps, this newly-discovered specie is actually more of a bigger and bolder version of their better-known cousins that we're familiar with. They've never been seen hunting lions, but they were photographed feasting on the carcass of a grown leopard.

What's even more riveting was the culture that these animals have. They sleep on the ground and not high up in trees. They use large nests which are easily accessible by other beasts but seem confident in their way of resting.

"I don't like to paint them as being more aggressive, but maybe they prey on some of these predators and the predators kind of leave them alone," comments biologist Cleve Hicks as he tries to find a reason on the seemingly complacent practice.

He was even more amazed at the fact that these chimps weren't afraid of humans. Instead of scurrying away at the sight of men, these monkeys didn't seem to mind. He also observed that the deeper in the jungle they got, the more confident the apes seemed to get. The apes were named "Bili" after a town near where they are seen frequently. Scientists, however, worry that the civil war in Congo could post a threat to the population of the animals.
