Pomology

Today I learned that pomology is the study of fruit and fruit-culture.  Not little fruit symphonies and art shows culture, but the process of culturing or growing fruit.

Dictionary.com definites it "the science that deals with fruits and fruit growing"

I have a backyard full of fruit trees.  I suppose I should study pomology to make them more productive :)

Ukranian Commando Dolphins?

According to a couple of news articles and the Geekshow podcast, some dolphins trained to attack, plant explosives and be otherwise menacing in non-dolphin like ways, have escaped from their handlers and are in the open ocean!

Why on earth someone thought dolphins needed to be trained for fighting I'm not sure....
