read an article on this in the nytimes today and thought i'd pass it along. it seems a international group of scientists has created a Book of "All Species". it's in early release now but on thurs will have ~30,000 pages (pages being "web pages" not paper / physical pages) online with an estimated 1.7million over the next decade or so.

looks pretty neat so far: http://eol.org

Good find. You must have a long list of fascinating websites you cruise.

I was a bit disappointed they didn't have the page for the mantis shrimp developed yet. These guys are one tough hombre. They can strike 10 times quicker than we can blink, break your finger with their claws, break your camera lense or aquarium wall with a punch and have 2 penises. How cool is that? Just learned that last week.

Keep up the good entertaining work.
