Now, here are the spooky science and technology stories of the day.
What zombies can teach us about brain science. A Harvard prof actually has found a use for the undead. Otherwise, they’d just be stumbling around on the ice skating rink at some abandoned shopping mall near Pittsburgh.
Chinese ponder sightings of “Wild Man,” AKA Bigfoot. There have been more than 400 reported 400 sightings of a red-haired apelike creature that the Chinese call the Wild Man. There’s even an organized group of searchers, the Hubei Wild Man Research Association, that is trying to raise $1.5 million to conduct a thorough search.
The electrical experiments behind “Frankenstein.” The science that inspired Mary Shelley to write her 1818 monster masterpiece is nearly as bizarre as the novel itself.
