Seed's Daily Zeitgeist: 9/20/2006

• Star-nosed mole has moves that put the best magician to shame
  This dude, Kenneth Catania, just won a MacArthur. He may be a great researcher and all, but doesn't his subject deserve some genius recognition as well? Go to "story map" and then to "star-nosed mole theater" to watch this freak in action.
• Le Vampire by Jean Painleve (1945)
  "Ze leettle starfish does not despair. He ees bleesfully unaware of ze futility of life." OK, we don't speak French, but that's what we imagine him to be saying.
• What's my impact on biodiversity?
  Find out exactly how much you are destroying our planet. Or maybe saving it. But probably destroying it.
• Plants In Motion
  Let 'em go (by pressing play), and watch 'em grow.
• LET I = GLORIA GAYNOR
  Quod erat demonstrandum.
