Oct 7th, 2008 · Chances are you've heard at least one song by the London-based Noah and the Whale.

Jun 24th, 2006 · Norway has launched a unique construction project on the remote Norwegian island of Svalbard, halfway between the Arctic Circle and the North Pole. It's an underground vault for agricultural seeds, a kind of Noah's Ark for millions of varieties of wheat, rice, and hundreds of other crops that farmers no longer plant in their fields.
