For 99 euros ($148) a night, guests can sleep like a hamster (clean sheets, but the bed is next to hamster litter), drink like a hamster, eat grains like a hamster. And what furry pet hotel — even one in an 18th-century caretaker’s room — would be complete without a hamster wheel?

It’s not clear how long the salmon had been dead by the time it was studied, but Craig Bennett at the University of California, Santa Barbara, says he scanned it about an hour after picking it up from the supermarket, so it was definitely already a goner. So what did he and his colleagues find? Bizarrely, a region of the dead salmon’s brain lit up during the task.”</p>http://vobios.tumblr.com/post/226196884http://vobios.tumblr.com/post/226196884Wed, 28 Oct 2009 16:33:00 -0400sciencefish<img src="http://16.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_krz3rrwcTQ1qz4vjio1_500.gif"/><br/><br/>http://vobios.tumblr.com/post/226046378http://vobios.tumblr.com/post/226046378Wed, 28 Oct 2009 12:58:39 -0400craigslistnycholiday<img src="http://4.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ks8d1tCs8f1qz5r2fo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://vobios.tumblr.com/post/225970410http://vobios.tumblr.com/post/225970410Wed, 28 Oct 2009 11:15:00 -0400foodlife
