Say Goodbye to Fat!

Studies show that a new medicine by a team of Danish researchers. They did the experiment with 203 overweight people took the medicine with directions and lost about 5 pounds six months in to the experiment while people taking
the .5 grams medicine lost 25 pounds at the end of the experiment. People don't know how the medicine will work out, but I think that it should do good because of haw many overweight people there are these days.

Frog Hides Claws!

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/17/science/17obclaw.html?_r=2&oref=slogin&oref=slogin
The Cameroonian frog has been discovered to have claws! Scientist Dr. David C. Blackburn discovered this while studying the spices. This is a breakthrough in science. It is said that the claw is actually an extra foot bone and that the frog uses it to ward of predators. I think that this is amazing because no one would ever think of a frog as a violent animal. I also think that this is weird. The other weird thing is that the skin actually breaks which means that the frog does not use its last line of defence much. So there is still a very little chance of you seeing them do this.
