Titanic Wreck will disappear in 20 years: Being eaten by a superbug

http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2011/01/13/titanic-wreck-eaten-superbug-disappear-years/

Newly found bacteria was found feasting on the titanic, which is why it will not be there in fifteen to twenty years. I think that it's kind of sad that a boat that has been around since 1912 won't be there. Considering the fact that almost everyone knows the story of the titanic and scientists are just letting it be eaten. I wonder if the scientists that discovered it, do they care at all that it will be gone? If the do, is there some way to stop it that they are willing to try?  Are scientists just going to sit around while bacteria eats the titanic? I think that scientists should try to get rid of this bacteria. They could also learn something new about this iron-eating bacteria.

New DNA Test Shows Hair Color of Crooks

 Science Blog- Current Events


I think that it is very intresting that your spit or blood can tell what color your hair is. Considering the fact that your spit and blood do not at all have a connection with your hair and that you can take one of those samples and test it, the fact that it can show your age, eye color and hair color is very strange. This can help catch a murderer, thief, or another suspect of a crime scene. Just the fact that you can have some DNA of a criminal and scan it you can find out their age, eye color, and hair color and if you already have their name it will help police catch wanted criminals much more efficiently.
