Dog drives double decker bus

Koolie dog Woodley takes his master Richard McCormack's double decker bus for drive in Darwin in Northern Territory of Australia. The dog was sitting in the driver's seat with its paws on the steering wheel. He chased after the runaway bus, leapt through an open window and rammed on the handbrake.

It ran for a couple of hundred meters (yards), swerved across the road, went up on the footpath and was just about to run into a parked car when I stopped it.

His owner, Richard McCormack, 62, said, "He sits next to me when I'm driving and in the driver's seat when I'm not. The handbrake is on the dashboard and he's seen me release it many times.

Baby dinosaurs nest found

Scientists have discovered a 70-million-year-old nest filled with the remains of baby protoceratops dinosaurs.

The nest of 15 juvenile Protoceratops andrewsi dinosaurs provides clues about the dinosaurs' early behaviour.

While large numbers of eggs have been associated with other dinosaurs, such as the meat-eating oviraptor or certain duck-billed hadrosaurs, finding multiple juveniles in the same dino nest is quite rare.

The scientists have analysed the dinosaur remains along with the nest, which measured about 70 centimetres in diameter and was round and bowl-shaped. All were found at Djadochta Formation, Tugrikinshire, Mongolia, where it's believed sand "rapidly overwhelmed and entombed" the youngsters while they were still alive.

The researchers conclude that the 15 dinosaurs all show juvenile characteristics. These include short snouts, proportionately large eyes, and an absence of adult characteristics, such as the prominent horns and large frills associated with adults of this species. At least 10 of the 15 fossil sets are complete.

The nest and its contents imply that protoceratops juveniles remained and grew in their nest during at least the early stages of postnatal development. The nest further implies that parental care was provided.

Ears can read someone's mind

These ears are cutting-edge technology. They can read your brain waves and transmit how you're feeling through ear movements.

When you are relaxed or bored, the ears lie flat, when you are concentrating or focused they perk up, and even wiggle if you are amused.

The "Necomimi", which means "cat's ears" in Japanese, launched in May but are set to go on sale at the end of the year, and was picked by Time magazine as one of the year's 50 best inventions.

Iit has two brain-wave sensors that can detect and interpret what you are thinking, and show it through four different movements.
