[Whose iPod caused this city to become submerged?]

Scientists are just beginning to unlock the mysteries of Pavlopetri, a submerged city discovered 40 years ago off Greece. During a dive earlier this year, researchers from the University of Nottingham in England determined that the city was 5,000 years old, more than 1,000 years older than first believed. Here, a diver from the team surveys the site in an undated photo.

The Bronze Age site is believed to have been submerged since 1000 B.C.

Also in the WTF category, Pew says there was a fourteen point drop in the number of Americans who believe there is solid evidence that anthropogenic global warming is real. I mean, maybe 45 million Americans spent the last year reviewing the scientific evidence on Global Warming and changed their minds. Certainly, a lot of laid-off workers have some time on their hands. But this doesn't really seem a spectacularly likely explanation of the phenomenon.

I can only come up with two explanations for this phenomenon: one, that many Americans are happy to embrace a symbolic belief in global warming as long as there is no danger that anyone will do anything about it. The other is that Americans don't know what they want, and also, enjoy messing with pollster's minds.
