You may not believe it, but the debate over whether LED light technology is better than more traditional fluorescent bulbs is still a hot issue. Proponents of LED bulbs claim that the lights are more energy efficient, last longer and are more environmentally friendly.

The age of the deer is determined by analyzing the roots of the sample tooth, and is apparently quite accurate.
