A round-up of some interesting and unusual things

While the "round-up"-style blog post is common throughout ye old blogosphere, I've yet to post one here. Let this be my first! Here are some interesting things from across the web that stood out to me today:

• Scientists worry that the Haitian quake is a sign of more to come
• Slime molds make surprisingly good urban planners
• The first movie made by chimpanzees - coming soon to television!
• Stray subway-riding dogs of Moscow
• Humans, apparently, could theoretically run 40 mph
• Government plans re: alien contact somewhat lacking

I think this turned out well - it's a good way to post short, odd stories that might otherwise fall through the cracks. I'll have to do it again.
