World's dumbest bank robber wears burqa to conceal identity, leaves face visible
2014-12-12 20:05:49| Grocery - Topix.net
A bank robber in Woodlawn, Ohio, hit upon an ingenious way to conceal his identity: He wore a burqa, the facial covering traditionally worn by Muslim women. The only problem is that the crook wore the garment in a manner that allowed people inside the bank to get a good look at his face - which was adorned, for added ease of recognition and eventual capture, with a tattoo.

Groundbreaking Study: 5 Trillion Pieces of Plastic Floating in Worlds Oceans

EcoWatch: Youve probably heard of the 5 Gyres, those huge deposits of plastic found in rotating masses in the worlds oceans. Now a new study released yesterday by the 5 Gyres Institute provides the first comprehensive estimate of how much plastic there actually is in the worlds oceans. It found that plastic was not just confined to the gyres, but was widely dispersed throughout the oceans. The report was compiled from information gathered during 24 expeditions from 2007-2013. The estimate concludes that...

Over five trillion pieces plastic floating world's oceans, say scientists
2014-12-11 00:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Independent: There are an estimated 5.25 trillion pieces of plastic floating in the worlds oceans, weighing a total of nearly 270,000 tons, according to a new study. Plastic has spread throughout all the world's oceans with as much in the southern hemisphere as the northern, the researchers said, adding that this was surprising as more of it originates in the north. In an article for the Plos One journal, they said the figures were highly conservative and did not take into account the potentially...
