Several varieties of spiny lobsters exist throughout the world’s oceans, and they all have an ability to navigate. Experiments in 2003 concluded that they orient themselves by accessing an internal map of local magnetic anomalies, or tiny fluctuations in the earth’s magnetic field.[1] When a Finnish computer programmer read about this, he began designing a similar system for use in robots.
Janne Haverinen provided a magnetic map of a local hospital corridor to a mobile robot. The robot was able to successfully navigate the hall using only the magnetic anomalies that characterized that building.[2]
Magnetic mapping technology could provide an alternative to other methods of navigation such as...

Ping!
Thanks for the ping!
Interesting article.
Brian Thomas, MS* using those great scientific references, Genesis and Psalms.
It’s been known for about 30 years that birds use the same system. They have magnetite deposits in their skulls.
Nothing here again.
Nice picture of a lobster though.
...yet another purposeless accident and coincidence.
I think you are getting lost again.
Do you have some cartoons on DVD?
Uhhhh...no that's what the liberals have established for themselves time and time again.
It appears you've merely stumbled upon another of your embarassments regarding your demands.

As one would expect from you, in the liberal world, up is down, down is up.

No, my children do though...did you want to borrow a particualr one?

That makes no sense. Liberals dislike navigation? WTF???
It appears you've merely stumbled upon another of your embarassments regarding your demands.
Again, you make no sense. What demands? What embarrassment?
You are incoherent.

You make just a whole lot of sense there, sparky.
Are you on hallucinogenic drugs?
I hate to laugh at the disabled, but you are pretty funny.
waaaaay slow aren’t you.
evo-liberals demand that all we know is here by some randon happenstance accident, against all astronomical odds, all we know merely poofed into existence all by itself over a really long period of time, ever fluctuating, with no design, by through no intelligent input, with no purpose, no design, and if that’s not bad enough, they sue all others that challenge their “thinking”.
You’re the ones that are incoherent...and by playing dumb about it, well, that merely re-confirms it.
By the way, the majority of folks in the civilized world use TP to clean their butt.
Have a good weekend!

Liberalism on full display, you just can't make this stuff up.
There are some who cry "troll!" in every post.
You only have "liberal" as an epithet.
Very amateurish.
Did you know that everyone who disagrees with you may NOT necessarily be a liberal?
I used to make that mistake, way back in the day.
Grow up, son.
designed
Ah yes, Brian Thomas *MS loves to introduce the word "design" such that by just using the word, makes Creationism true. Nice try yet again, Brian.
Haverinen’s robot, which itself contains metal parts, requires that its magnetometer be suspended on a rod away from its body. This way, its own magnetic effects do not interfere with the detector and the robot can successfully navigate using a magnetic map. This contrasts with the lobster’s elegant design. The structure and operation of the lobster magnetometer is not fully known, but it is tiny, effective, and fully integrated into the creature’s body.
So, because the robot has to have it's detector outside the robot, and the lobster has its detector inside the body......that means something to Brian, eh? All it means to me is that the robot is both made of metal and uses electricity.....2 things that alter natural magnetic waves. Ever take simple physics, Brian Thomas *MS?? Ever put a compass in your car?
This testifies to the genius of the Creator
Actually, dear Brian, the only thing it "testifies" to is your ignorance in thinking that your comparison testifies to something it does not.
It’s the only thing he has.......everyone that doesn’t think exactly like he does is somehow a liberal....and that’s supposed to make me run for cover......and I wouldn’t wait around for any more coherence than that.
LIBERAL!!!!
nope....can’t make this stuff up.
No doubt “back in the day” was something to truly behold!
Coming from you, this just further solidifies the points I’ve made about closet liberals posing on FR.
The people you seem to have so much trouble with on FR are all conservatives.
But go ahead and pretend I’m the only one.
Such coherence....everyone other than you is a closet liberal.
....got it....
Hint: there’s a reason why people I disagree with concerning ONE TOPIC OF DISCUSSION.....on a CONSERVATIVE WEBSITE....happen to be....CONSERVATIVES.
I’ll give someone of your intellect 100 guesses as to why that is.
Here’s the hint for your 101st guess:
FR is a conservative website.....full of conservatives....in which I have a disagreement concerning one issue.....hint hint....a conserrrrrrrrrrrrrrvative website....
