WE�VE SEARCHED THE ENTIRE DISK, AND ALL WE FOUND WAS PORNO
Here�s just a little drop of humorous, edifying statistical information. A top investigator with British data-recovery firm Vogon, Chris Watts, while recently commenting on the nature of his work examining office computer hard disks from which needed data is feared lost, noted that approximately 95% of the disks he scans contain pornography.

There is only one...
Researchers from the
Wildlife Conservation Society in the mountains of Tanzania have identified an African predator, which until now was considered extinct. This carnivore, the Lowe's servaline genet, is a relative of the mongoose, and has remained undetected since 1932 when a single hide was collected by the British explorer know as Willoughby Lowe. Absolutely nothing is known about the ecology of the stealthy animal, but researchers hope to learn more about the genet and other small predators like it through the use of a camera trap survey that will cover the Udzungwa Mountains National Park. It is the camera trap survey that has allowed us to learn of and document this creature's existence in the first place. Hopefully, through it we will learn much more about these species in order that we might conserve their habitats properly.
