<DIV>Find out just how entertaining the universe we live in can be! Uncle John Plunges Into the Universe fights back against every textbook that has ever made science seem boring. For Life Sciences we explore the weirdest solutions that different organisms have invented for the problems of survival. From the denizens of the Amazonian jungle to the microbes inside of your nose, from the giant squid to the prion, there are a vast number of weird biological topics to fascinate our community of bathroom readers. For Earth Sciences we delve into plate tectonics, quicksand, undersea caves, boiling hot geysers, glaciers -- this planet does funky stuff. How and why? Peel back the asphalt and concrete and see what is going on down there. In the Space Sciences people are learning about space from bad sci-fi shows! Learn what's really up with gas giants, black holes, asteroid belts, cosmic radiation, and all that.</div>
