Mysteries and Mayhem

This snake was mystery # 1 for the week.

(Well, "print" is not really the word in this online society, but you get my drift.) Anyway, I guess that means you have a whole lot of new articles to look forward to in the coming weeks!

So here are this week's articles, two for Scientific American, one for Mother Nature Network, and one for TakePart. May of these deal with longstanding mysteries. One is incredibly sad.
