In its ongoing yearly report, the Smithsonian Center for short-lived phenomena alerts the world. It is science news that is fantastic, but true--impressive, fascinating, and sometimes chilling like: dutch duck plague kills 20,000 mallards in South Dakota; rare "pulsating" glacier in USSR surges forward periodically, then beats a quick retreat; over 13,000 earthquakes recorded in the Red Sea during a two-week period.
