Third Olfactory System

Researchers at the University of Maryland, have unlocked a mystery behind what is known as the Third Olfactory System. Olfactory System is the sensory system related to sense of smell.
New findings show there is a nose within the nose of mice which smells hormones and how this regulates salt and water balance in its body.
"It allows animals to detect food and determine that food's quality, it provides social information like sexual status about other animals, and it can warn an animal when a predator is present. Because of the great similarities between humans and animals when it comes to the sense of smell, the more we learn about the building blocks of the system, the more we will learn about how odors affect our lives." - Steven Munger, Ph.D., associate professor of anatomy and neurobiology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and lead author on the paper.

The Swastika Building

US Navy has decided to spend approximately $600,000 on perfectly ok usable barracks because When seen from Google Earth (satellite view from top), the barracks look like the shape of a Swastika.

Building was designed and constructed back in 60's but there was no Google Earth then to spot the shape from top view. Now with Google earth being publicly available, some completely false rumors started spreading around about how this is all a part of a bigger plan of evil Nazi's. Probably covering the building with sheets will be a cheaper option than reconstruction !
