I was just reading an article and when I got to the bottom of the page there is a message stating ' to continue reading this article you must subscribe for $2.95'

:evil: The money stealing pigs! I will show them! :twisted:

Yeah, I've been reading every issue since last summer. My college has the issues in the library. Its very interesting to keep upto date with the latest goings on in the scientific world :D

However, my college only gets 1 copy of each issue and it is quite popular, so next time - I am planning to hide the latest issue of New Scientist Magazine in the History books compartment! Surely no one will find it there! :P

Oh no, how selfish of me! I feel SO embarassed! :oops: :oops: :oops:

Nobody at my college reads it either, I think that there is something wrong with people. It is left in a special science room where only science people are allowed and still hardly no-one reads it. I think that I am probably the only one except from the teachers to actually read it page by page every week.

Does anyone have the free book that came with one of the magazines some time last year- October/ November/December

Title: 101 things to do before you die

If so how many do you think you will end up doing before you die?

Certainly won't be swimming with dolphins in captivity, if that helps.

A kakapo boom? One of the rarest sounds on Earth I should think. I would love to see the infamous night parrot in question though, and to hear that noise...like nothing else I should imagine.
