Researchers at the Australian Catholic University in Melbourne have discovered some interesting stuff about pregnant women. The pregnancy is resulting in considerable amounts of amnesia. Scientists Henry and Peter Randell have tested the memories of thousands, both pregnant and non pregnant, women. The women carrying a baby appeared to have trouble remembering new information, unknown names and telephone numbers. Facts they had already known, however, they remembered without a problem.

Strangely enough, the memories of the tested women did not appear to return to the old levels after the labour. The researchers are still clueless to as why this is the case. But they do expect that a pregnancy can influence the women’s cognitive skills a great deal. They also suspect stress, insomnia and the preparation to a new life to be factors.

A wasp plague has prevented three Qantas flights from taking off properly at the airport of Brisbane in Australia. This has become clear from a security report. The insects had made nests in parts of the Airbus A330-fleet of Qantas, as a result of which they disturbed the flight equipment.

In one of the cases a plane had to make a stop while already taking off. This caused the brakes to overheat the tires, which in turn caused six out of eight tires to blow up. The airplane remained stranded on the tarmac. The pilot was forced to start the braking procedure while already traveling at a speed of 226 kph. In turn the brakes reached a temperature of 685 degrees. Since the incidents Qantas implemented a weekly wasp nest checkup on their fleet.
