James May can not sleep on a LEGO mattress

Remember how we all got excited about James May’s LEGO house? Full scale ~~excited~~ LEGO house.

The guys over at the Beeb certainly had fun with our money, holding the episode back but this year, Christmas will not bring you the eternal Christmas carols and evergreen movies, but instead we get James May in his LEGO House and the last episodes of the Tenth Doctor.

Are you excited already? I sure am but of course the Beeb has other plans again. Instead they released a teaser video on the Tube today.

Venus Flytrap origins discovered

Cool facts published by the BBC.

The Venus flytrap closes around an insect in just 0.3s or faster, while the waterwheel use thin translucent traps to snare copepods and other aquatic invertebrates.

Charles Darwin was so enamoured by this striking adaptation, and the speed with which it works, that he described the Venus flytrap as being “one of the most wonderful plants in the world.”

“Darwin was fascinated by carnivorous plants in general and the Venus flytrap in particular, I think, partly because they go against type,” says Don Waller, a botanist at the University of Wisconsin, in Madison, US.

“In his time and ours, most of us feel that plants are passive, harmless, and can’t move. But the Venus flytrap acts like an animal, it moves fast and eats fresh meat.
