Well-dressed, well-lubricated urbanites Nick and Nora Charles made their first screen appearance in 1934 in The Thin Man, personifying a uniquely upper-crust, down-to-earth breed of New York fauna. Trading caustic-but-loving bon mots while knocking back trays of newly legal martinis -- not that...

Anyone who has neglected to visit the California Academy of Sciences is severely missing out, and not even because of the famous undulating grassy roof. One of the first sights to greet visitors is also one of the best: the Mangrove Lagoon holds those vicious angels, the stingrays and the...

California Academy of Sciences :
Every week Saturday, Sunday from Sat., January 21 until Sun., March 11

A science museum can be intimidating. “I don't know anything about science,” you might say, “and I don't know where to start.” But that's the point of a science museum. It tells you where to start, and it shows you incredibly complex things in astoundingly simple ways....

In ancient Rome, the god of fertility was honored in February, with ceremonial love lotteries and mock-floggings with a bloody goatskin. Even those are a pale reflection of truly bizarre courtships that unfold in the natural world. For example, the common garden snail is a hermaphrodite that...

Do yourself a favor: Today is the California Academy of Sciences Free Day. Emphasis on day -- perfect for the funderemployed, who more than anyone deserve a day of brain-melting beauty. So ditch the gray pounding and run-run-run pace of the city, in favor of the 4-story rainforest exhibit, to...
