Tycho:  It's hard to imagine not having access to a deep reservoir of supernatural knowledge to enrich and inform my daily life.  As early as age thirteen I was already curating a collection of incredible facts, highly granular assessments of wicked and ancient lizards, up to and including notes on their diet, sleep habits, and taste in home decor.  From the demure to the diabolical, I have sought to build a robust profile of the hidden world.  My very mind is an arsenal.

Recently, a polar bear cub was rejected by its mother in a German zoo.  Had this happened in the wild, the cub would have been left to fend for itself, and would quite likely have died.  In this case, however, zookeepers decided to care for the cub by hand, a decision which has ironically prompted outrage from at least one animal rights group, who have suggested that it would be more humane to kill the cub, rather than allow it to become dependent on humans for its entire life.    This is an interesting point, and one which has dark but intriguing ramifications when applied to certain other species - namely, homo sapiens.  Artificially prolonging the lifespan of genetically inferior instances of the species runs counter to the purpose of evolution.  It makes us all weaker.

Humankind&#39;s inexorable spread across the globe may have had an unwelcome side-effect - it brought us face to face with our ancient hominid relatives just long enough to catch their head lice.
