This one is about a robot with square wheels (originally reposted on Slashdot). Interesting concept -- the wheels are all set at 22.5 degree angles to each other, and then a weight is rotated parallel to the ground in a circle around the center of the car. As the weight shifts over each wheel, gravity causes that wheel to rotate 22.5 degrees.

The WWF (environmental group) caught pictures of a new mammal in Borneo. It looks like a lemur.
