It looks like a typical National Geographic cover with the signature yellow border. So what's Paris Hilton doing on there?The folks at Harvard Lampoon persuaded employees of one of the most respected magazines to help them ensure their April Fool's parody - with stories on Mongolia's wildest waterparks and Native Girls Gone Wild - looked authentic.The issue, coming out on Tuesday, is the latest in a string of Harvard Lampoon magazine parodies.But the undergraduate group had never done National Geographic, which quickly responded when contacted by the students last summer."My guess was they were just extremely bored and they were tired of working with animals and scientists and wanted to hang out with college students," said Hayes Davenport, who edited the magazine with fellow Harvard senio

Recently, I picked up the February '08 issue of National Geographic. Particularly because I was intrigued by the cover story: The Black Pharaohs: Conquerors of Ancient Egypt.While the story was interesting and brought up some previously unknown points on Egypt and its Pharaohs, there were a few things that ran through my mind:1) How could there NOT be black pharaohs in Egypt, or at least ancestry of such a race within Egypt and its line of pharaohs? It is in Africa; with Egypt having the close neighbors of Nubia and Sudan. That's like saying Jesus was as white as a pearl with blond hair and blue eyes....That in itself never made sense to me-look at the geography.2) There was a statement in that particular article about how 'the ancient world was devoid of racism'. I realize that the author

"The February issue of National Geographic has an amazing article on water management in the Western United States. The article includes a photograph of a golf course peculiarly placed in the Mojave Desert. The caption reads, "Golf courses in nearby Southern Nevada still use 8 percent of the region's water..."

"...BIMINI, Bahamas -- The bulldozers moved slowly at first. Picking up speed, they pressed forward into a patch of dense mangrove trees that buckled and splintered like twigs. As the machines moved on, the pieces drifted out to sea..."

Coral Reef Color, A Fish's-Eye View - National Geographic Magazine"Startling greens, blues, yellows, and reds paint the creatures of the reefs. Scientists are learning to decipher the messages these colors convey and to see them the way fish do.Gaze at the vivid yellows, blues, and psychedelic swirls of a single emperor angelfish and you'll sense the whimsy of evolution. Go on to explore its home in lush coral reefs and you'll soon hit sensory overload, assaulted by colors and patterns that range from sublime to garish. Coral reefs are unquestionably the world's most colorful places. But why?Scientists have long known that color plays a role in sexual selection and warning of danger. But only in the past decade or so have we begun to understand how wavelengths of light (and therefore color) appear at different depths and how various marine creatures' eyes perceive this light and see each other—far differently than humans see them.To document how reef animals use color, I joined

Indonesia, which is losing its forests at a faster rate than any other country, launched a campaign on Wednesday to plant 79 million trees before it hosts a critical conference next month on climate change.Environmental groups have called the planting program well intended but say it will mean little if the government does not immediately impose a moratorium on deforestation.Around 300 football fields worth of trees are destroyed every hour in the archipelago due to illegal logging, mining, and slash-and-burn land clearing for highly profitable palm oil plantations.Related:Indonesia Aims to Plant 79 Million TreesPresident launches nation-wide simultaneous tree planting driveIndonesia News Blog: http://indosnesos.blogspot.com

While Adam waits for his bus to school, I sometimes whip out my iPhone and we watch something quick on YouTube (I know I know, can't this kid spend one minute without stimulation?). Since most YouTube videos are crap, I decided to subscribe to the National Geographic Video Shorts podcast, figuring that it would be more educational. The first time I suggested watching one of these, Adam rolled his eyes and said it would be too boring (so cynical at such a young age). I scanned down the list to find a title that was more sensational and chose Blood Initiation. What I failed to do was read the description, "Young men of the Matausa tribe undergo a painful bloodletting ritual as a passage to manhood, shoving sticks down their throats and noses, and piercing their tongues." After about 30 seconds when it was clear that this wasn't something that my kids should watch, I stopped the video.I scanned down the list again and tried Lizardman.

Paul, the original TravMonkey, tagged me to share the magazines I read. Without further ado… 1. National Geographic Adventure - I’ve been subscribed to this magazine for a little more than a year now. I tried to get myself to cancel it given my upcoming travels, however as those last mailings urged me to renew for the low price of $10/year, I couldn’t help but think about all the amazing adventure stories I’d read over the past 12 issues (thus I renewed). Sure, the snippets about vacation packages are priced far beyond most people’s means, as are a lot of the cool gear they feature, however the adventurers and expeditions they highlight are fantastic. In addition, reading through the magazine gives me a bit of knowledge about more subversive forms of travel occurring around the globe, such as the Tribewanted project. Who knows, maybe I’ll be a featured writer for them one day! 2. Gourmet - I’m in my third year of this subscription. I t

national Geographic Channel logoDoing some browsing this morning and found this upcoming program while checking my animal/nature related feeds. Very interesting from the previews and I'll be sure to check this out on APril the 16th on the Nation Geographic Channel. Just thought I'd share. eating with wolves Delve into the unique story of a maverick researcher named Shaun Ellis who raises abandoned wolf cubs and teaches them by example how to survive in the wild. In A Man Among Wolves, see how Shaun has given up everything to take a daring and unorthodox approach to understanding wolves’ every move—living and behaving like them, howling, licking, and snarling like them, even eating carcass meat like them. This one-hour special documents this man’s incredible journey to better grasp the complex nature of wolf society by immersing himself in their world as their accepted leader. It is a curious study that provides Shaun with one-of-a-kind insight into this feared predator. NGC Blog

I am happy to see that the National Geographic agrees with me about recommending visiting less well known destinations in Europe. However I would suggest getting a bit more off the beaten track than they mention.   For example instead of subsituting Glasgow for London, I would recommend Dundee or Stirling in Scotland.
