‘Any meat items my dogs refuse to eat, I no longer eat.’ It’s said that animals have a “sixth sense,” which affords them an insight human beings cannot match. There are clips of security camera earthquake footage where pets can be seen wigging out seconds before tremors begin.

After a Halloween reboot trilogy that delivered diminishing returns, and the total misfire that was The Exorcist: Believer, horror fans uttered a collective sigh of relief when director David Gordon Green announced he wouldn’t be making any further films in that proposed reboot trilogy. But inevitably, there’s still some curiosity wafting around about what Green’s second film—the title was to have been The Exorcist: Deceiver—would have explored, and he recently shared some details about that.

For 15 days last December, a complex quantum operation took place deep under New York City. Photons of light streamed around an area stretching from the Brooklyn Navy Yard to Corona, Queens, forming a 21-mile-long (34-kilometer-long) quantum network beneath the metropolis. Quantum hardware company Qunnect ran the experiment on its...

Earlier this week, James Darren—the actor and singer best known for his roles in the Gidget films, and, to sci-fi fans, his turn as the kooky lounge singer hologram Vic Fontaine on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine—passed away at the age of 88. A late arrival to the Star Trek galaxy, Darren’s inescapably wry charm and smooth takes on classic jazz were an unlikely fit for a series that was staring down the barrel of some its grandest, most challenging storytelling. But his enduring popularity reflects that really, a character like Vic Fontaine was always just as important to Deep Space Nine‘s story of war and compromise in utopia.

An opinion piece appearing in the Journal of the American Medical Association, or JAMA this week illustrates why the drug problem among people experiencing homelessness in Denver may be so severe. It's because many homeless people aren't addicted to just one drug, but two, according to the viewpoint's author, Benjamin A. Howell of Yale School of Medicine and colleagues.

When I studied Anthropology in college, I learned that teeth have been indicators of economic status just about forever. Archaeologists look at the teeth in ancient skeletons and know who the rich were based on their tooth decay. During the Renaissance period, it became fashionable for women to blacken their teeth to look like they were better off than they were, because the royals and aristocrats, who could afford sugar and sweets, had more rotten and missing teeth than the poor.

Opinion: Stop Stereotyping Bad Teeth as a Sign of Drug Addiction

Fetching isn’t just for slobbery canines, new research reveals. Surveying thousands of pet owners, scientists have found that a large minority of cats do like to play fetch at least some of the time. That said, dogs are still much more likely to go and chase after a toy or stick.
