Pretty cool!
Two new species of frogs found in the Andes of Ecuador have names: Hyalinobatrachium mashpi and Hyalinobatrachium nouns (H. mashpi and H. nouns for short).

Oooops. The problem when you use celebrities as spokespeople in your ad campaigns. There's usually baggage.

“The Middle,” Jeep’s two-minute Super Bowl ad starring Bruce Springsteen, was pulled from YouTube after reports surfaced that Springsteen was arrested for a DWI in November. Featuring a celeb with a history of drinking and driving isn’t a great look for a company, but it's especially problematic for an automotive brand. Jeep's Super Bowl ad featuring Springsteen aimed to unite Americans with its message but ultimately achieved the precise opposite.

I love Edelbrock's new campaign slogan.
