Biomechanics fun

I would have liked to hear the speech by the inimitable Steven Vogel on "Power from the People: Life When Muscle Was Our Main Motor", an overview of how biomechanics shaped the lives and work of our ancestors. The article at http://scienceblogs.com/principles/2007/02/archeological_biomechanics.ph... provides some interesting fodder for the dilettante game designer, though it's unfortunately brief.

Less sober: The Science of Godzilla, at http://scienceblogs.com/tetrapodzoology/2007/02/the_science_of_godzilla_... . The radioactive breath jet? It's all thanks to a plasma gland. Yep, a plasma gland. (How we know that, isn't answered.)
