Home Schooled
Home Schooled is a comics series by American artist Ash Jackson.
Co-writing by Silas Jackson.
The Presurfer will feature a Home Schooled cartoon every Monday. This is an absolute exclusive cooperation between The Presurfer and Ash Jackson.
Home Schooled is more or less a reflection of the wacky and occasionally interesting adventures of the artist, Ash Jackson, himself, with the aid of his friends, family, and other cohorts.
Ash Jackson is in California for a comic convention, so this weel the comic is made by Silas Jackson.

Blowflies Get Virtual Reality In Flight Simulator
Ever wonder how an insect with such a tiny brain can thwart your attempts to catch it nearly every time? To find out how the common blowfly manages to process visual images more than four times faster than humans, researchers have built the bug a flight simulator.After immobilizing each insect with a fly-sized harness and attaching electrodes to its brain, biologists from the Max Planck Institute for Neurobiology placed blowflies in front of a semicircular LED screen displaying various moving patterns. Compared to people, who can distinguish a maximum of 25 discrete images per second, blowflies can sense up to 100 separate images per second and respond fast enough to change their flight direction.

The Strangest Items Left In Hotel Rooms
Hoteliers reveal some of the most bizarre items that guests have left behind. From wooden legs to inflatable sheep and from false teeth to a tarantula spider.

Kodinho, The Town Of Twins
Baffled doctors are trying to unravel the mystery of an Indian village boasting more than 220 sets of twins born to just 2,000 families. Experts who have visited the remote tropical village of Kodinhi, in Kerala, India, have been left scratching their heads over the phenomenon that has seen almost six times as many twins born than the global average.
In 2008 alone, 15 pairs of twins were born in the village out of 300 healthy deliveries and this year is expected to top that number.
