Snake Species Disocvered in Tanzania
This stunning black-and-yellow viper with horn-like scales above its eyes, was discovered from a remote area of Tanzania two years ago and was introduced recently as the world's newest known snake species in an issue of Zootaxa. The reptile has been named after the 7-year old daughter of Tim Davenport, the director of the Wildlife Conservation Society in Tanzania. Matilda’s Horned Viper is one of the three new vipers to have been discovered across Africa the last three decades, thus making the find rare and important. Fearing poaching, the WCS is keeping the exact location of the new species a secret.

Alex Ferguson to sign Bolt - Man United!!
The Jamaican sprint superstar was introduced to the fans at United's ground before the 3-2 win against Fulham, and cheekily asked the Red Devils supporters to try and persuade Alex Ferguson to sign him.
He then got a chance to tap up the man himself: the pair enjoyed a cosy chat after the game with Bolt posting a picture of himself and Fergie on an Old Trafford couch - a meeting that appeared to involve glasses of red wine and a plate of traditional football pies. Bolt himself captioned the picture with a tantalisingly ambiguous message: "A wonder what we discussing? Hmmm mmm."
What indeed? Last year Bolt said that he "would love to play football for United after I retire", and after defending his Olympic titles at both 100m and 200m this summer he recently reiterated that he wants to try new things - though for the moment that is likely to mean forays into the long jum or 400m.

Bolt also got a chance to rub shoulders with United legend Bobby Charlton, and also spoke to Wayne Rooney and Ryan Giggs in the tunnel where the two United players - no strangers themselves - looked particularly impressed at the three gold gongs hanging round Bolt's neck.
Neil Armstrong, First Man to Walk on The Moon, Dies Aged 82
A statement from Armstrong's family said he died following complications resulting from cardiovascular procedures. It does not say where he died.
Armstrong commanded the Apollo 11 spacecraft that landed on the Moon on July 20 1969. He radioed back to Earth the historic news of "one giant leap for mankind".
He and fellow astronaut Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin spent nearly three hours walking on the Moon, collecting samples, conducting experiments and taking photographs. In all, 12 Americans walked on the Moon from 1969 to 1972.
Armstrong was a quiet, self-described nerdy engineer who became a global hero when as a steely nerved US pilot he made his "one giant leap for mankind" with a small step on to the Moon. In those first few moments on the Moon, during the..
