And then, for some reason, discuss the effect of streetlights on leaves before looking at the fossil record of the Siberian unicorn, an ancient relative of the rhinoceros.
They wrap things up in no discernible order with the emergence of "Miami English," a new dialect blending English and Spanish, and the discovery of a "zombie galaxy" that may have cannibalized its neighbours to resume star formation after a 20-million-year dormant period.
